“Many of you have been asking about when we will have our second Beta Weekend...”
– GW2 Facebook
Good to know we’re going to get a date at least somewhat soon. I’m personally hoping next weekend, but we’ll have to see. I think I understand what cats feel like now when you dangle the little thing over their heads and keep pulling it away when they reach for it. In...

GW2 WvW →
Everyone please do me this favor: reblog this link. If you like GW2 in the slightest, or if anyone you know likes GW2 in the slightest, reblog this link. If you only ever listen to one thing I say, reblog this link. Don’t like this, just reblog it.
“But, Yoshi, why should we reblog it?” you ask. I’ll tell you why:
GW2 WvW is a great GW2 community site for PvP — both...

Why Shouldn't I Put All My Eggs In One Basket?
As a reminder, this will be going up on GW2 WvW, where I am now writing. If you haven’t done so, please check them out!

Facebook Art
A while back, ArenaNet posted on the GW2 Facebook that with every 10,000 likes, leading up to 500,000, they would post a new bit of concept art. This morning, they hit the final 500,000 likes and posted the last of the five pictures. So, I’m relinking them here. As usual with any large pictures I post, the thumbnail links to the full size image.

Building a Better SPvPer
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend as much time in SPvP during the beta as I wanted. I plan on spending a few hours doing more later today during the stress test. In the (roughly) hour-and-a-half to two hours I did spend in SPvP, I noticed one thing: people are pretty bad. There was one ranger I specifically remember for being smart, but mostly a lot of really bad people. This might be...
