Guild Wars 2

No, no, a thousand times no! There are other games offering gear grinds out the wazoo. No gear grind is one of the reasons I chose GW2. In almost all of the pre-release information from Anet, it was one of their driving principles. No Gear Grind.

Now, they are back pedaling? I can’t tell you how disappointed I am to read something like this.

Make it skins only, no problem Which also abides by the philosophies championed by Anet spokespersons prior to release.

I have run into the same issue. It isn’t that the information isn’t out there if you look hard enough it is that there is way too much of it on YouTube. I just want to READ what you have to say. I can skip the parts I don’t care about, re-read the important things, even prinit if off if it merits putting in my pile ’o notes.

Last weekend I was looking for something (won’t say what so as not to call out the person who did the video) but for the first 7 minutes and 38 seconds, he went over what NOT to do before ever getting to his point, the one and only reason I had queued up the video. And it wasn’t even 7 minutes of different things not to do, it was the SAME thing! I don’t care how many different ways you say the grass is green, the grass is still green.

The huge giant in Kessex Hill named Gort. I immediately thought of the giant in the old black and white version of “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. “Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!”

I really hope the ability to change the color of my hair ribbons is implemented soon. It is a shame that a character can find/acquire a spectrum of over 300+ dye colors and yet I must ALWAYS be stuck with the color which matched my first set of armor.

Yes, after the first couple of characters I learned to choose matte, grey or some other neutral color but must I forever look at those orange hair ribbons which were PERFECT at creation? Must I dress in Autumn, Canteloupe, Salmon and Peach for the rest of my days?

Stupid hair ribbons.

“Oh! Won’t someone please think of the children!”

I turned in bug reports for two in Snowden Drifts on Tarnished Coast yesterday – Lost Child’s Sorrow Waypoint skill challenge and the one at the owls. Lost Child’s Sorrow had been broken last week when my husband tried it but was fixed when he went back and finished his zone. Now broken again
