"Guild Wars 2 in 2022 is Ridiculous" | Reacting to MitchManix

OG video by MitchManix here: • Guild Wars 2 is Ridicu...
I've played GW2 for over 10 years now, so this video not only caught my attention, but legitimately got me reinvested into the game again. A great video, a cool creator, check them out.

He is an amazing content creator. The end of that video is particularly moving

[@BigJoeBear]

Agreed, I've since gone on to watch some of his other stuff. Always entertaining.

Oh this video... I had such a laugh with it, so glad to see someone reviewing it! Regarding costumization though. I'm guilty to be the kind of player who spends a ridiculous amount of time in character creation and I have to say I'll never understand why people are so picky since in reality we never get to look at the character's face during most time of the gameplay. I keep having a "oh, i had forgotten my char's eyes are blue!" moment. 😂

[@BigJoeBear]

I tend to spend a lot of time as well. Maybe a bit less on the face than elsewhere, but I find helmets to look kind of dumb a lot of the time and like to disable their display. Figure I should at least avoid looking like Sloth from the Goonies. The video was entertaining, and a good reminder.

@@BigJoeBear Oh my relationship with helmts isn't good either and gw2 makes a fine job making it disastrous. I guess that's why hair is probably the one aspect I'm the most demanding about: because that's where I'll be looking at for the most time. I wish I could have a bald asura to face every hardship, but my vanity doesn't allow me to. lol

[@BigJoeBear]

@@JustYetAnotherUser When they first came out I slapped down an absurd amount of gold to make sure I'd always have a permanent hair restyling kit. I was never going to be caught having a bad hair day. Which might be ironic, since I hate having hair IRL.

the faces are fine you can change them a lot also they added a key way-point item from replaying all season 1 living story and achievements witch are very easy that lets you go back to old Lions Arch and its a living hub just like it uses to be a feel you talk a like you know more then you do as some one who has worked with gw2 code no idea what your talking about.

[@BigJoeBear]

Bro, I'm logged in right now. I'm also not convinced you've worked on the code, since I don't see any spaghetti stains on your shirt. I've been actively playing since the late betas, and played GW1 from release to the GW2 betas. No need to try and gate keep there, little Billy. I've got my notice of passage for this portcullis. Season 1 replay is still actively rolling out, at the time of this video the Nightmare Tower was the most recent addition. Season 1 also kind of sucked balls, so I've been working on Vision instead of replaying. Attack on LA and the Marionette were the only particularly good parts. You can choose a pre-made face, then slightly tweak it with a couple of basic sliders. It's still ultimately the same face, and that's the problem since so many of the default faces are pretty bad and fake looking (mostly human and norn). Thanks for the contribution, buddy.
