I really like the overall aesthetic of the Sylvari, although the only one I have is stuck as an elementalist and I have absolutely NO idea how to play that job. She's so old though, don't want to delete the character and miss out on those higher birthday rewards. Aside from that, I mostly have a collection of Asura They're kinda cute, in that gremlin sorta way. The makeover kit definitely helps.

Adorableness!... lol.

But yeah, GW2 has always been a good fallback for me. I'm not great at the game by any means, but I mainly just stick with the story and open world things...so it doesn't really matter toooo much. I feel like I've never played it steadily enough to where I can really learn all the ins and outs of the combat. My poor little brain retains NOTHING. Shoot, even XIV can be a struggle when I've ignored a job for a couple of months. ><

Have you played through all the expansions already? I reaaaaallly liked PoF, wish I could go back and reexperience all of that for the first time again. I loved the zones, the feel, and all the mounts to collect. Good times

And yesss! Back to angrybun! I need to slow down on those fantasias though, so hopefully I don't get anymore late-night fantasia urges for awhile. . ><

I just never play small races in any game, and I don't typically like to play humans either. I like playing elves, or anything like them. So sylvari. And I always liked their unique aesthetic anyway.

My current mesmer with a default outfit:

I am kind of in a similar position in that game, due to having two human characters that I don't even know why I made, but they are also very.. old characters, so they will be getting birthday rewards. I'll probably just keep them and spend some makeover kits on them, I guess.

GW2 is alright, I'd probably like it more now than I did in the past, as I have become more casual over the years. Like I said, I just picked it up again, downloaded a few weeks ago, because I saw it release on Steam. I had been looking for like the past month for something else to play while slowing down again on FFXIV, but I don't want to be paying two subs, I wanted something with some sort of progression, and something I could play very casually. So GW2.

I never played it steadily to begin with! I checked my playtime across my account (/age) and I don't even have 200 hours! The last time I played it was three years ago, because a friend was looking for a game to play with me, since they didn't like FFXIV. I made this mesmer then, bought my makeover kit, and a different outfit back then. They played for like.. 20 minutes before telling me they didn't like it either.

No, I have never played an expansion. The last time I put time into that game was well before the first expansion came out, so I didn't even have any experience with the mounts! I did buy the End of Dragons Collector's deluxe ($75) about 10 minutes ago, so eventually I'll be able to play it. They did give me boosts, so I could theoretically jump straight into an expansion, but I don't use boosts on characters I actually intend on playing in any game. I am effectively playing the game from scratch again with a new character.

Why am I writing an essay? Like I've said, I'm a spammer to my friends on Discord.

I haven't bought a fantasia since I switched back to viera. That was the best fantasia I spent, and this has probably been the longest I have played this game semi-actively, and not used a fantasia. The longest I've gone in the past (while still actually logging in and playing) without a fantasia was like.. 3 weeks? Definitely glad to see your viera though, she is one of the more recognizable faces on here!
