AH, TOO HOT!

guild wars 2 blog. sfw. blasting you with my laser beam 💥

[bigsnaff]

o/ hihi. this is my Guild Wars 2 blog. I've been playing since launch and still have no clue what da hell I'm doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

essentially just here to rant about my characters (as one does) and reblog cool art and memes (as one does).

only tagging spoilers relevant to the most recent expac.

CHARACTER TAG • MY EDITS • MY WRITING

CYNA CRYSTALCLAW. Commander of Dragon's Watch and the Crystal Guardian. Former Blood Legion soldier, now Ash. Wielder of the Vestige of Glint. Also wielder of an unmatched temper that has earned her more scars and loss of brain cells than victories. Good news! She's still standing — for now. Tag.

DOKKS. Mechanics and engineering expert for Dragon's Watch, and a steady hand that Cyna has greatly needed. Universal father figure for the guild. Dokks is an old, kind-hearted, and well-traveled individual. Often regarded atypical as far as asura go for his interest in blending asuran tech with that of other races', resulting in contraptions that come across as outlandish and bizarre to many an asura, and often completely incomprehensible to anyone else. Loves his grandson more than life itself. Tag.

CORNWALLIS / CONTROLLER C. Biomancy expert for Dragon's Watch. Dokks' grandson. A young asura filled with potential and promise that had been conducted in the wrong direction - particularly by his mother, who is a high-ranking member of the Inquest. He's rude, callous, and a little demented, as all good Inquest personnel are. On the other hand, he's also freakishly high-strung and secretly insecure. Choose your fighter. Tag.

MERLISH CENDIGG. A ghost of Ascalon that's rather unique to the others. Merlish used his expertise in magic to spare himself from the curse of the Foefire - to an extent. But then the spear he bound his soul to lay forgotten for centuries amongst the rubble, before eventually being plucked from the city ruins by one of the Astral Ward and brought to the Wizard's Tower. Suddenly, Isgarren was reminded of a forgotten member of the Ward, lost centuries ago. Tag.

NOVA WARHORNS. Bounty hunter in Elona and partner to an eyeless little freak. Possessor of multiple brain-eating parasites. Almost certainly a cannibal. Never engage this woman. Hide and pray she does not find you. Tag.

DESIGNATION V. Real name Vext. Former Synergetics professor hired by a Mists research krewe decades ago that has since gone missing. Shoved into the Mists and declared dead by the Arcane Council, Vext now pops in and out of Tyria seemingly at random. Regarded by the Arcane Eye as an "anomaly" and is being unsuccessfully sought after by them. Tag.

EX-COUNCILLOR PHLUNK. Twin brother of Councillor Phlunt. Held a chair as a councillor for a week. Kept "Ex-Councillor" as his official title after this for some reason. Moved to Divinity's Reach not long after, adopting a quintessential, stereotypical wizard persona wherein he opened a business to shuffle out his "wizarding services" for a high fee. Eventually kicked off his own trading enterprise to rival the Black Lion Trading Company, though something seems off about it. Tag.

this is a very look-a-gift-horse-in-the-mouth complaint especially given prior expacs and not really something im actually all that upset about because i am sincerely enjoying what we've got so far so dont take this seriously at all. but i do wish the theoretical """asura expac""" could've focused on asura as a whole rather than jumping purely to the evil corporate subsect that receives 100% of the screentime whenever asura are called to the center

The wind stirs. The world shifts. Stand ready.

Seems like there’s an announcement coming during the Summer Games Fest on Friday.

slaps these here cause why not

my elder dragon headcanon is that baby zhaitan was stillborn and then soo-won breathed life back into him, creating undeath

[vcr-wolfe]

ive never liked how charr feet are modeled in gw2 tbh. it makes zero sense physiologically?? why would a toe be on the heel. no….

i always envisioned them being more like dew claws or spurs honestly, with a little addition of that sexual dimorphism. female charr would usually have smaller spurs that likely are great for gripping; male charr usually have longer spurs almost like how roosters do, which would aide in conflict and fighting

i imagine culturally it would make sense to outfit themselves with metal spurs too, like how humans augment rooster spurs for cockfighting :0c

imagine charr with their big ol scary spiky armor and then like, three inch steel razor spur heels for ripping open shit with kicks like a cassowary. gnarly

gw2 loading screen art never fails

*blows the dust off of this tumblr account*

I figured I'd share this here, for the people who supported me ages ago and made Guild Wars 2 a delight for me.

How would people like an RP Profile addon built as an addon for Blish HUD? I've been slowly working on one and I might have the first version of this done soon.

I'm calling it SPARK - Simple Profile and Roleplay Kit.

The name also is derived from the first legendary I crafted, Incinerator. It's precursor is Spark. I thought it was a good fit.

Here's some sneak peek images so far:

There's support for you to add multiple profiles to a single character. You then choose which one to actively broadcast when using the module for others to see.

All profiles are tied to your Account and Character Name. This wouldn't be something you manually type in and is retrieved from GW2 via Blish to prevent impersonation.

The tabs on the left allow you to edit your profile details, set your RP preferences/style, and add in a 'Currently' and 'OOC Info' sections if you want.

Here's the WIP of the profile editing section. Unfortunately, no word-wrap support on the box (Blish HUD has a pull request to add this though, so hopefully soon!), but it works decently. The 'At a Glance' allows you to set icons plus a title and description. I don't have a built-in icon picker though, so you need to find the strings yourself for now until I figure that out.

An example of the profile when viewed by someone else.

I do have privacy settings for your status and location, and I will implement a block list so if you don't want someone to see you through this addon, it wouldn't broadcast that info to them ever.

Profile viewer is currently working decently. I've built a presence module that captures some info from your profile + other things as you've configured it to broadcast and update periodically.

Since this isn't hooked up to be online yet, I'm just duplicating my profile 200 times in the UI while I build it out.

For those who don't know, I actively work on my own game these days (after 10+ years in game dev and growing tired of corporate), but I figured this was a fun little side project to build in the meantime.

There is no ETA on when I'll have this finished. It's all sort of based on when I have extra time to work on it. But I hope to have a rough working version soon for people to test out!

Holy crap, it’s a Rappt! Glad to see you around again bud. I may not log into GW2 much anymore but happy to signal boost ya. 👍

You know what they say...

a rotating cog amasses no sporophyte.

[wherethesaladthingsare]

what if Kuda figures it out...

finished just in time for tomorrow's update!

[spiribia]

Elder Dragon vlast concept. he is meant to look a bit like a dragon that exploded and died, and like the exalted caretakers that raised him. him and aurene would be gold and silver siblings

[bigsnaff]

thinking back to how indescribably excited i was for homesteads once the news about them dropped. and almost two years later and i still have not customized mine at all.

[ratasum]

Gave Isgarren the room of his dreams today.
