#gw2 beta

[manasurge]

I’m finally playing around with the beta for the weapons thing, and I’m loving being able to use daggers on my mirage in my 2nd set of weapons. I get to keep my evasion hax, my clones, as well as throw daggers at range when I need to do single target stuff. Full ranged mesmer fun times for both aoe (greatsword) and single target (daggers, with aoe lite), lots o’ fun!  Of course I still have to see what the rifle will have in store for later :3c (might replace daggers, we’ll have to see). I just run power build, so the axe technically isn’t super set up for it (but I still like axe too and am using it). I just like not being hit that much cuz I’m kinda squishy, so I appreciate a second ranged weapon set. Although, I am using the pistol too for this beta, but I still love mesmer pistol bc of the pew pew sound haha. Gotta love magic bullets (not the blender kind). I just like lots of the weapons it seems u_u Chances are I will replace my axe for the daggers or the rifle for my main 2nd set later (although idk if I should replace the sword with the pistol, simply bc I’m using Caithe’s crystal bloom skin, so... I may not sentimental reasons, idk yet lol), but I do have a condi set where I can keep my axe on. I like having lots of options (I have 2 additional equipment templates on my main), even if I tend to mostly just use one, haha.

(lol sry just rambling about whatever cuz I’m very tired and wanted to try this out for a little bit before bed, so idk how coherent this all is)

#brambling #gw2 beta #as you an tell I'm not a hardcore minmaxer #I just play whatever is most fun and gives me the most mobility/survivability+damage #I do like being able to do a lot of stuff really fast #i love you mirage dodge seretonin #watch me regret writing everything tomorrow simply bc I'm posting something while tierd and fatigued lol

just for fun, I've been snapping fancy shots of each of my beta test characters this time around. so without further ado, these fellas are:

Kara the Fierce (Norn Soulbeast) Valiant Luaith (Sylvari Daredevil) Goria Deathcaller (Charr Reaper)

#my posts #GW2 #Guild Wars 2 #beta testing new weapons AND playing dressup??? win/win #i'll probably post shots of them on the character select screen too once I've tested all the weapons and can put 'em all together #i actually really liked kara's design tbh. her theming was SO fun she's got so much bone incorporated into her outfit #so she really looks like she's just been kinda making her clothing and weapons out of whatever materials she found by scavenging. hardcore. #Luaith turned out cooler than i was expecting too. i unironically like the rascal mask even if it only has 1 dye channel #Goria is just kinda There but i like how her color scheme came out. charr fashion is so hard tho all the textures stretch... oof #tho i got to be wild and put the zhaitan fangs on her lmao

#been thinking about shadhavar mounts since the pof beta #and dolyak and so on #i love the gw2 mounts a lot but i love the mundane day to day kind of things o(-< #gw2 #guild wars 2 #my art #this is a mess i'm not looking at it anymore #aki adeoye

bad news about prem’s backstory for everyone who’s just learning about the great collapse today.

#sorry guys. #this has been my favorite historical event in the lore for YEARRRRS bc i have unverifiable memories of seeing the canthan district in the #summer 2012 beta event and am convinced it was retconned out of the final game. so i read everything i could about it #gw2 #guild wars 2 #oc: prem #hot comics

A different update!

Because I'm still in recovery for my right hand, I haven't been able to stream. I'm hoping to be able to do something by Friday but no guarantees! However, if you'd like to see some older content and comment on your favorite bits of my nonsense here is my youtube page! Had to save my streams somehow!

// whoops. sorry i went radio silent. this week i've been preoccupied with my new job application, new gw2 xpac was just announced, and then i spent the last 2 days binging a webtoon. lotsa stuff going on for me rn.

#ERROR ( ); #// will i be back to here? idk! im lurking but #// my motivation to actually write has been p low #// i wanna play gw2 a lot due to all the new content that dropped recently + the beta periods + i'm behind on the older content too lmao #// i also have a lot of new ideas for some drawings that i wanna realize but i need a specific mood to Actually draw #// and also i have a month until my physical tests for the police so i've been preparing for that too now that they've told us what exact #// disciplines they will be testing us in. and there's also some psychological tests i'll have to undergo for that. #// it's uh. certainly keeping me busy! #// i've never been this determined for something so that's p exciting on its own for me aswell. i rly wanna do my bestest on the tests #// i'm mostly reachable on discord tbh

GW2 is turning TEN!

With Guild Wars 2 turning 10 years old in a few days, I had a mooch through my old screenshots, namely beta screenshots and dug out a few. These are from the first open beta 27th - 29th April 2012.

First screenshot from first open beta! Look at the dodge bar! The minimap! The *font* oh it was all terrible. :D

In the closed betas I was part of, we didn't have access to Lion's Arch, so this was the first time in the city. Lion's Arch was my hangout spot in GW1 (LA ID1 crew represent!) so one of the first things I did was a) find my old hangout spot (it's still there!), and b) find somewhere high to climb!

My sweet, sweet original Lion's Arch. A city of soul. Not the washed out budget sea world we have now.

Old human idle animation. I miss you :( Also baby Alexis!

Before the Pavillion in Divinity's Reach it was just a big hole. You could find a hole in the wall there and swim in the abyss..... They patched it out by launch though :(

Mystic Forge in OG Lion's Arch. So pretty!

And finally, not a BWE screenshot, but Day 1 Alexis. I've got a jar of bees, and guess what's inside it?!

Can't wait for the Steam kids to join us on Tuesday, plus all the other things. And BIRTHDAY! And yay! :)

“It’s funny. I’d forgotten how much the cold stings.”

1/2 of a small screenshot post featuring Banni and @actuallymollymauktealeaf‘s Vale!

#rrrawrgh i want to edit these later but rn i got the sleep-blur on and would oversaturate them #also the beta post editor is NOT letting me drag images around anymore so i gotta stare at an ugly white screen to make this post :( #banni #vale #gw2 #screens #my charas #friends charas

Would you believe me if I told you this started out as a 'rough' and I planned to keep it that way until I realised 4 hours had passed OTL Anyways, I really adored the hide and seek with the skyscale and I really wanted to try my hand at redrawing the screenshot :>

#wip #gw2 #gw2 fanart #gw2 oc #Rousmier #Skyscale #I swear something possessed me bc Imma be real the last 4 hours is a blur #I probably need to go drink some water LOL #also the colours make me want to scream why am I trying to paint #gonna sacrifice my soul real soon for the secrets to colour theory hghghgh #ps never use tumblrs beta post maker bc it fucks ur image quality over so bad >:( #YueHua draws

My camera glitched out, but to be honest I kinda prefer it to the regular camera? It has this kind of...snap to it!

Given that it seems to be the boat camera, it could cause motion sickness though.

#GW2 #Uh...do I report this? #Might have to do with the DX11 beta #By the way when will this be out of beta it actually improves my FPS a LOT but I don't like the unstable sound of ''beta''

[mistfallengw2]

You know you're your own assassin You don't need no help with that It's your back that you've been stabbin' When you gonna understand?

#gw2 screens #my screens #Iotta #just put together some screens from an old ref photoset from the... december 2021 beta. damn #I have since made her in game and her outfits are a bit different now but this is still good #Assassin by Au/Ra is also one of her “formative” songs (one day I'll make that animatic I swear) #I'm very normal about her 2.0 electric boogaloo
