This is just an absolutely awesome bug that someone found during beta.  I think I’ve watched this video a dozen times and every time i do, i have a huge smile on my face.  It’s just amazing.  We need to lead the charge to somehow get this implemented into the game as an emote.  Toss up a post on reddit

Don’t Forget Supply!

I have to keep repeating this because it always happens.  Don’t forget your supply people!  This was probably the only irritating part of my entire beta experience so far.  Roll up to a fort or keep and throw down a ram or arrow cart, only to stare at my unfinished and expensive paper weight.  This occurred far too often and

One-Eyed Wiley

One of the things i love is running into random events with champion mobs.  It usually means mass chaos and lots of deaths, mostly for me!  I happened to run into 2 of them in Gendarran Fields, the new zone open during BWE2.  I enjoy these events when players see them for the first time and proceed to engage them

Guild Wars 2 – BWE2

     Another beta weekend event drew to a close leaving us feeling empty inside until the next one.  I managed to capture a ridiculous amount of pics and video that i have to sift through and try to make some sense of in the next few days.  Most of this will consist of WvW action, which VI spent the majority

TOR! TOR! TOR!

Cliche but i had to do it. Given my displeasure with the game as a whole, i thought it’d be fun to go back 8 months and revisit some of the criticism i had during the friends & family beta period.  I’m going to quote those aspects that i posted on Impact Gaming forums and hopefully give an explanation as
