Our community is such a huge part of what makes our world so special. Thank you for all you do to build Tyria into the place we all dream it can be. ❤️🥰

I believe Weird Al is Weird Al in all possible dimensions. He is a multiverse constant.

I mean just look at this! Hitman was so much fun, but they've added a strong narrative and big set piece moments?! Hell yes!

Dexter: Resurrection was fantastic and I really hope it's not the end of the series. I wouldn't think so, but I also thought Original Sin was great, and Paramount cancelled it, so...

I guess I'll have to get my Patrick Gibson fix from the upcoming James Bond game, because that looks insanely good.

I think the saving and loading feature of the updated homesteads might finally be what gets me to use mine. (Read: I'm lazy and will be pilfering everyone else's layouts). 😆

Fancy doors are all the rage across the Mists right now. I blame Mad King Thorn, the originator of the "fancy door' in Tyria. Halloween *is* right around the corner...🎃

Guild Wars 2 @guildwars2.com · Sep 2

We're introducing a new way to customize your conjured doorway for your homestead! Express your creativity with the Crystal Rune Conjured Doorway and its four dye channels. Make it your own! www.guildwars2.com/news/crystal...

One more w/ a story behind it: I got to meet Nicole & Tyler, who were part of a GW2 Friend/Ships campaign a while ago, and Nicole showed me her "I love you" tattoo (in New Krytan).

How many people get the opportunity to see something they created permanently etched on someone's skin?! That's wild!

Matthew Medina 裸足のマシュー @barefootmatthew.com · Aug 30

Had such a blast getting to hang out with so many incredible members of the #GuildWars2 community last night. Thank you to each and every one of you that came to the fan event. Wish I could've spoken to more of you! Such kind-hearted, knowledgeable and wonderful people. ❤️❤️❤️

Happy 13th 🎂🥳🧁🎁 to Guild Wars 2, the game (and franchise) that has literally changed my life in so many ways. I still remember the heady joy of exiting the tutorial zone and seeing so many players clustered around the story NPC. It's been so incredible to watch the game and our community grow! ❤️

It's been such a disaster on so many levels... Even when we do claw things back, the amount of damage done feels overwhelming to have to course correct. 😮‍💨

Find out more about the next batch of elite specializations coming with Visions of Eternity: Antiquary, Ritualist and Paragon.

Bonus street cred to any Antiquarians who run with the "Honorary Skritt" title, am I right?

I have had the same experience. It took finally upgrading from my 850W to a 1200W PSU, and either the increased power load and/or the updated cabling seems to have finally stopped the constant black screens and crashes. I also did a full driver clean, just in case...🤞
