The Shatterer
Level 50 was our first foray into the dragons of GW2. Tucked away at the north end of Blazeridge Steppes is The Shatterer.

Arrr Matey!
GW2 in full swing and of course i have to indulge in a little piracy, so to speak! I think I’m obsessed with this and may have a problem. What’s better than a cotton candy pirate i ask you?

It was to be expected i suppose, being beta and all. With the server caps raised and fewer server overall, the beginner zones were completely packed. We really didn’t get a chance to do any WvW either due to some bug on Anet’s side that cut the population caps in half. That’s what beta’s are for i suppose and really

What does one do when he’s bored and waiting on GW2? He combines the old with the new of course! This really does look weird but i managed to cram all 20 classes in there. I figured i better keep them all in AF armor, otherwise it’d look like a mess with XI’s mix and match gear system. Is that
Read moreHow to succeed in WvWvW
Thought I’d toss up a really nice writeup our guildie Maylei made on how to be successful in World vs. World with a smaller guild or a low population server: I wanted to make a quick guide on how you can really make a difference in WvWvW with various sized groups, what you should be targetting, and how you go

During the second beta weekend event, [VI] had the pleasure of tackling our first explorable mode dungeon in GW2. We went in knowing only some of the basics but did rather well considering. The dungeon itself was amazing fun yet completely chaotic at the same time. It was amazing seeing strategies form on the fly in the absence of tanks

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

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 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

My original plan was to avoid these 2 cities until launch so as to not spoil the ooh’s and ahh’s until launch. Well that plan, much like most plans, quickly went out the window when i realized i had to go to Charr land for Ascalonian Catacombs. I still could have avoided it but said what the hell and

This is the kind of stuff i love. The kind of stuff some may call fluff or unnecessary, but i feel that adds to the longevity of an MMO. It’s the non-combat “fluff” like this that i always ask for when i send in my feedback during betas, along with any class or bug fixes of course. I’m of course

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
