Guild Wars 2

The achievements were definitely a drive to get me in the door and stick around past the initial “OMG look at all those red blobs!” phase. That and finding a character that was more suited to how I wanted to play. I love my necro, I think it owns in PvE (only in my humble opinion of course) but I got so steamrolled the first time or two I tried to do anything I said screw this and ran for the closest exit as fast as my minions could carry me. I’ve seen a lot of posts that talk down about the current system and I can totally see the frustration of you old pros, but I guess the silver lining to it is that it has gained you a player that will most happily stick around past the end of the season and on into the future, whatever it might hold.

It’s been a nice outlet for me as well. Due to my crazy sense of loyalty I’m stuck in a guild that boasts a current active member list of 2-3, including myself. The rest of the guildies have long since hit the boredom wall and wandered off to other games, only to drop in on the first day of whatever new metaevent hits and then wander back out. So it’s nice to find something that allows me to play with active players for the same cause instead of wandering aimlessly on the map testing how many NPCs I can take on before I get squished to oblivion.

Haha total noob. I actually JUST got (last night) the last 2 jumping puzzles from WvW due to the metaevent cause I was too scared to venture onto the servers to get them. I’m THAT noob. I maybe came in a few times during the past year, fired an arrow cart or two and then ran back to PvE-dom and threw a blanket over my head lol. So, by all means, throw ideas at me when you see me running around and screwing up haha. All critiques welcome.

I just want to post a thank you to the server of SoS. I came into the season a PvE’er acheivement hunter with an uplevel warrior just looking to finish the acheivements and run back to my hidey hole. Thanks to the players and commanders on the server, I’ve come out of the season a WvW addict with a huge desire to learn, improve and be able to come out of more then just a couple of outmanned fights alive and surrounded by bagged shinies. So thank you for putting up with this noob and answering my ever so stupid, basic questions. It’s been a fun season for me and I look forward to seeing you all on the map in the future!
