Man one thing I love about the Guild Wars series is that Humans are actually interesting. Like in most high fantasy settings with magical races, humans are just kinda there as a footnote. They’re kinda just there because it’s expected. When you look at their lore and culture in the wider world fantasy humans are kinda just… nothingburger. The Guild Wars series is legitimately the only series I know of where Humans have an actual presence with interesting lore. Guild Wars Humans they could never make me hate you.

Sorry I started sobbing uncontrollably when you expressed the slightest concern for my lack of human connection, and casually mentioned you think I deserve better than a life of isolation and loneliness. Super weird. Not sure what was up with that lol. You still think I’m cool and mysterious and sexy, right?

When gw3 comes out, will you recreate your ocs in there?

Yes, even if I need to change some races/classes here and there

Yes, but only if their race is in gw3 (even if they need to change class/theme)

Yes, but only if their class is in gw3 (even if they need to change race)

Yes, but only the ones that can fit the new (old) lore without any major change

No, but I'll create ocs similar to them (ancestors or similar characters)

No, I think I'm going to start fresh and leave my OCs in their world

Other (comment plz, I'm curious!)

Voting ended on37m

Please answer even if you don't have a specific idea in mind/you prefer to wait until more info is public. I'm planning to make a second poll closer to the beta/release of gw3.

Also, comment if you have a crazy time travel story in mind for your ocs :)

[jackfuckingtwist]

one of my raid buddies last night said theyre worried about gw3 because “anet isnt an established company” and i really need gw2 players to stop drinking the doomer juice. if developing 2 successful mmorpgs over the last 20 years and claiming the spot of one of the most popular games of the genre isnt being an established company, then i honestly dont know what is. yall have gotta stop comparing us to wow player counts we’re literally never going to beat blizzard and that has got to stop being everybody’s marker of success.

Holy fuck.

the act of flying on your griffon and slamming your face into the ground right as you try to pull out of a dive is emotionally indistinguishable from the sensation of getting your headphones yanked out by a door handle

i feel like im pretentious about repression or whatever like oh they can identify and name their repressed desires thats like the boring level one repression wheres the level of repression where they cant even begin to contemplate their own desires because contemplating them is a slippery slope to actually having desires which is a slippery slope to everything

tragedy protagonist categories:

yknow what yeah I think that's just about how anyone would react in this situation. fair enough.

alright this isn't how just Anyone would behave in this situation but I'm humble enough to admit that there have been times in my life when I was doing badly enough that I'd probably also fumble it like this

babygirl what the hell are you even doing

[annabelle--cane]

thank you hamlet prince of denmark for being the character ever for the 437th year in a row

[wlw-whump]

as much as I love badass characters pushing through pain to fight, I also love when they hit a point where they just can't. something structural is wrong or broken, so they can't stand. their muscles are simply too weak and overworked to hold them up. their bloody hands slip off the handles of their weapons, they can't aim through their vertigo or tunneling vision, they shake from blood loss or exhaustion even if not from fear. they've just reached their limit, and no amount of willpower will change that!
