I remember you from my dream

I guess I'm making a gw2 side blog now. pronouns she/he. Might post some rambles about my characters we'll see. I am a casual player so please forgive any mistakes! I also most likely haven't played the most recent expansion depending on when I remember to change this. Non Gw2 blog thatoctokittenclutchinganotebook. Twitch: twitch.tv/gaywardentams

WEEKLY QUESTION:

If you could multiclass in gw2 like in gw1, what would your main multiclass in?

Happy hot hot hot July, everyone! I hope those of you who are participating in Artfight or any similar events are off to a good start, and those of you who aren't are having a good time as well! The first Saturday of the month approaches very soon, which means it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, [VS] Verdant Shield! Whether you'd like to use it for the usual motivation and inspiration, find new victims targets for your Artfight attacks, or just take a break from your current work and hang out for a while, you're welcome to drop by!

For those not familiar, art parties are a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV: in-game get-togethers for artists of all kinds to hang out, chat, and create together! For GW2 parties there’s more of an emphasis on hanging out and gathering references during the party itself, and then in the days/weeks following to work on your creations at your own pace and then post to the shared art party tag. We’ve used the same one (#VSArtParty) since the very beginning so you can go allll the way back and explore what people have made! The most important thing to keep in mind though is this: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!

Time and /squadjoin information is below the cut, but will also be posted again on the day of the party as squads go up!

Location Information:

It's apparently been forever since we've last been to a sylvari-based area, so that means Caledon is back on the menu! It's a very event-dense map, but surprisingly the bridge heading over to the Dominion of Winds in about the mid-center of the map....doesn't really have anything associated with it? Which is good for us since it means it's prime art party real estate! It's also conveniently located right next to Titan's Staircase Waypoint, so no funny business is required to reach it!

Time/Squad Information:

The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Time (aka 3pm Eastern Standard Time or 4 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Aemryn of Dusk for a taxi invite if you don’t end up on the right map!

The NA server party will begin 1 hour after the EU party’s official end, at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (aka 1am Central European Time or at in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one, so please /whisper or /squadjoin Mheura for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!

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.

[trahearne]

this one time i was in verdant brink and my flesh golem who i have nicknamed Kevin apparently grabbed a bomb from that one event where ur supposed 2 plant them at the base of jungle tendrils in like the start of the map

and we ran like halfway across the map before i noticed it on his hand and i thought it was some weird graphical bug but then i got attacked by something and he dropped this legitimate actual bomb Item i could interact with on the ground to go fight

[trahearne]

i found my screenshots from it

[canach]

kevin is embracing a life of crime

[thewordywarlock]

so i looked it up on the wiki and i think i figured out how/why this happened- the explosive ordnance can be thrown “at the colossal vine, or to an ally to save time.” someone likely accidentally targeted Kevin with the bomb, passing it to him, where he couldn’t use it because. not a player. that is FASCINATING, honestly

Guild Wars 2 Heritage Post

[eternalalchemagical]

i am having a very annoying time rn and am tired of drawing my own characters so.

I’m almost never available for the VS Art Parties and was thinking maybe I could throw this post out there; like or rb this as a ‘you have permission to use my nerds as inspo for drawing time’ if you want? i get new little guys to look at, you potentially get some art of your little guys. we all get to look at some neat characters. yehaw

[missbadafker]

You're more than welcome to and if you want to turn this into an art trade I would be more than happy to do so!

[skydrifter]

On a more serious note, I've seen some people worrying about it so I just want to say:

Even if the announcement on Friday is Guild Wars 3, Guild Wars 2 is not going anywhere. Anet has just pretty much revived the original Guild Wars and has future plans for it, so that game is not going anywhere and it's even older than GW2. Guild Wars 2 makes money and last I checked is doing good and steady.

I know it can feel stressful and like the future of the game is in peril but I am confident it'll all be fine <3

Scout Lace Harding was NOT murdering people left and right with a satisfied smirk on her face in her first scene ever and learning both how to fight and making herself as helpful and resourceful as possible because she was a little dwarven girl growing up around human boys and very possibly tracking down and killing a lyrium-addicted Cullen in the streets (and thinking of it as a merciful act) AND carrying one of the strongest parts of veilguard on her back with her arc being all about her rage and how she wants to grapple with it for you all to relegate her to the safe and dull nice girl love interest 🫵 START PONDERING

[cindermetalheadgw2]

Thinking about icebrood saga again. Imagine if instead of portraying primordus champion Braham as aggressive, irrational, and incoherent (what the actual fuck were they thinking), they wrote him as being uniquely suited to be the champion of primordus because he had come to terms with all the things that made him lash out and act impulsively in the past and therefore made him capable of withstanding and guiding primordus's rage toward jormag alone, staying rational, not letting the flood of emotion control him, and containing the damage done by the elder dragon. It would have also made him a MUCH better narrative foil to ryland.

Rating the gw2 mounts by their backwards walk animations:

Raptor: the smallest head tilt for some peripheral vision, long, confident strides and whole body movements to maintain balance. 1 bumpy ride/100

Springer: feisty little backwards hop. probably kills predators by smacking them with their butts like wombats. Absolute Power/100

Skimmer: constant tail twitch, occasional fin shudder. hates this more than anything. why would you make it go backwards??? its not made for this. 2000 disappointed head waggles/100

Jackal: starts slow, clearly nervous. needs constant eye contact and reassurance from their rider. many future ear skritches/100

Beetle: doesn’t look back at all. doesnt need to. has unquestioning faith in their rider. thank you for believing in me petey, I would die for you. 1 unbreakable beetle bond/100

Griffon: Looks back not out of mistrust but because it is an expert at backing up. probably has a nice little alcove up on a cliff it backs into to roost on the reg. 1 secure tail curl/100

Warclaw: cant turn its head. wont turn its head. it’s all armor back there, why bother? 0 fear of death/100

[cindermetalheadgw2]

My idea for how to handle the character of The Commander if there's ever a guild wars 3:

-across tyria there are wildly conflicting accounts of the commander’s deeds and who they were

-these varying accounts line up with different personal story choices in gw2

-different species and factions claim the commander was one of their own

-there have been literal wars over who gets to claim the pact commander

-cue Trahearne Junior's speech about the history of the Guild Wars... 2!

-eventually you get a post-story end game quest where you find a lead on some actual documented, uncontested history of the commander

-it's long as fuck and extremely difficult and expensive

-the quest leads you to an elderly, ancient, snargle goldclaw

-the last living person to have personally known the commander

-he rambles on about his life and novels for a literal eternity

-only after you sit and listen through ALL his life stories including a bunch of different hidden dialogue branches do you unlock the option to ask about the pact commander

-he confirms that canonically, the Official Canon Pact Commander... "was the bravest choya i ever knew"

-he then immediately dies peacefully of old age

[cindermetalheadgw2]

*holding gen 1 fire type starter pokemon* ohhhhh you said CHARR COMMANDER. Well uh I don't think this little guy can face the horrors of war. Tyria is so fucked

[ratasum]

Every time I see someone post about that one show? Movie? With the character named Ryland I'm given such whiplash because I know zero facts about it and the only Ryland I know is a twerp (affectionate).

[ginger-commander-is-tired]

I have this idea that ever since that "date" during the end of Gyala Delve story, Canach would brag he actually dated Commander for real. He'd go ahead and add even more details.

I happened to pick Canach during the story. Best choice ever.

guild wars 2's story is largely a middling rpg plot, like 5/10 and 7/10s across the board, it doesn't do anything too special or deep but it has decently engaging characters and the accompanying world design makes it fun to play and see what happens next. and then occasionally it spends a grand total of 2 seconds focusing on something so fascinating and so engaging it knocks my socks off. and then it never touches on that topic again. and this is how it has single-handedly made me lose my marbles

[thegreatyin]

guild wars 2 will look me in the eye and go hey here's a dragon pushed by his dead mother into fulfilling a role he never wanted and he's never been allowed to roam and love and live for himself and he's dedicated his entire life to carrying out tasks that, while for the objective good of the world, have been preordained and planned for him and he's never been free of any of it. he's never been free. and now he never will be because his last act is sacrificing himself for a destiny he'll never get to see. he's never been able to exist beyond his destiny and now its slaughtered him in cold blood. and now his one year old sister has to shoulder the burden in his stead. he never got to meet her. her caretakers have to find the remnants of his legacy and piece together what he left behind to take to her and teach her and part of his last will is saying how much he would've loved to enjoy her company. but now neither of them will ever have that. and she has to carry all of that weight as a One Year Old Baby. and destiny will inevitably destroy her too. and then the game moves on and expects me to be normal???

[thegreatyin]

feeling this again. guild wars 2 is an incredible collection of writing and worldbuilding prompts who's actual story evens out to Just Alright but who's fan derangement potential is through the roof. guild wars 2 is like the potential man of mmo plots. that isn't even a dig against it, that's just a neutral description of the game

Art has been difficult lately, so instead of drawing humans I did birbs. Ylipapitar and Sylvarbee for Vilyar and Gaywarden <3 in vsartparty april 2026 eu
