The craziness of WvW

So like most players of Guild Wars 2 I take part in World vs Wold activities.  I am part of Tarnished Coast so this week I was up against Fort Aspenwood and Kaineg. Just today evening I went into the Fort Aspenwood Borderlands and helped to keep constant control over our 1 camp, 1 tower and 1 keep.

Interestingly the Fort Aspenwood force came at us with greatly superior numbers (probably 40 or more) but each time they attacked they focused their assault on the 1 supply camp that was well within our territory.

With a force as great as the one they had you would expect them to begin by assaulting our tower or keep which were still undergoing upgrades for being reinforced. The end result was what I call the Killing Fields. An open supply camp with no way to block attacks. Just several players wildly swinging weapons at each other without a care for who they hit or how much damage they do to the other party. Fort Aspenwood's superior numbers allowed them to each assault long enough that we had to use the waypoints to resurrect and come back to kill them at least twice before they would all be killed off.

Overall this was one of my most active adventures in World vs World.

My Super Fun Adventure


So just recently Arenanet released the Super Adventure Box. It is a virtual world created by an Asura Moto who wishes to use it to test various experiments.

You are to go through and complete tasks in the box so that he can collect data. While all that may sound boring, the adventure it self was awesome. It is a mixing between modern day graphics with retro pixel graphics. I don't know where Arenanet got the idea but they did idea good job with it.


The instance takes after the Super Mario style games from the past where your task is to rescue a princess. I tried out this adventure with Guildmates from Cruelty and Clemency, I unfortunately lost all my lives before we finished the instance, but I had a lot of fun with it. I even earned the Super Staff skin.
