No BWE this weekend :(
Despite my dreams of 3 days in Guild Wars 2 bliss it was not meant to be. On the upside its good to know that our feedback and testing for the 1st BWE and Stress Test are making a better game.
Many of you have been asking about when we will have our second Beta Weekend Event. As we are approaching a long weekend in many parts of the world, we understand that some of you want to make plans for that. To help you with that we can confirm that we will NOT be running BWE2 this coming weekend.
Check out the Guild Wars 2 Facebook page for more info.

- Story time boys and girls! Gather around and I shall tell you the tale of my good friend named Fluxed -
There once was a hunter named Fluxed
Everyone praised him and such
Until one day, his path crossed my way
And now he won’t leave me alone
Please, he said, BG’s all day!
Please, he said, I’ll peel all the way!
I looked at him and said why not?
Just LOS, please no blind spots
He laughed and gave me an elitist type look
He said, LOSing? I wrote the book!
Entered the BG, why yes we did
Entered the BG, he fought in the mid
Pulled the whole team, all by himself
Pulled the whole team, 2 little elves
The peeling he promised? Not a chance
He ground killing blows
While I decomposed
Finally I grew angry and quit
“You’re a terrible hunter you cotton headed git!”
Today he still tells the tragic tale
Where a paladin healer just couldn’t compare
Oh no, he says, I am far too good.
And she over there, she barely withstood
I had to reblog this because its just so awesome.

I have a story to tell
One of the things I enjoy most about playing RPGs is coming up with the back story for my characters. I’ve done this in most of the MMOs I’ve played but for whatever reason I didn’t do an in depth background for any of my Guild Wars characters. They all had the same last name but that was so my friends could always tell who I was even if I created a new alt. In my head I figured they were all related some how but never got into the whys and hows of it. Now that Guild Wars 2 is being released some time this year I’ve started thinking about it more often. With the Hall of Monuments and personal story I want to go about connecting the past with the present in some way other than just in game items. I’m thinking of doing a series of journal entries leading up to the actual release of Guild Wars 2 which will give a bit more of a background story for my main character.
The hardest part is actually creating the character. Who is she? Why does she pick now to go out and explore more of the world? These are things I wonder about. Luckily ArenaNet gives you choices during character creation to help you define your character and eventually as you play you can expand on those choice with your personal story. Ultimately I plan to play as a Necromancer who is either from the streets or has a commoner background who never recovered her sisters body from a centaur attack. I’m not sure about the other human character choices but when I played that I lost my sister I was asked where my family descended from and I choose Elona. I didn’t get to finish the personal story during the BWE but I do know the over arching story for GW2, which I won’t spoil here for those who haven’t read up on it. It will be interesting to see how your character helps shape the outcome of that story and how much your story & choices will change your personal instance in the home city. Either way I know that my story will be actually be that my story and boy do I have a story to tell.
p.s writing blog posts from work is tough >.<
killabytes replied to your post: Slowly but surely
do cheaper/quicker things first, so armor/weps come at the end
Oh I am. I am working on finishing Factions and I just started Eye of the North with some friends. I don’t know it just often feels like I’ve started a really good story in the middle and have no idea what’s going on.
