Well, well, look what we have here? My brother’s 智源 version 3.0, a Legendary Survivor (3) without farming, at last! Totally ‘shopped to show both our titles together.
智源[月影] Legendary Survivor (3) & 遊俠娜奧美[月影] Indomitable Survivor (2)
RIP, 智源2.0, your death will never be in vain. Or something
And that’s right, 智源3.0, I chose this screenie out of the 65 others I took. You’re welcome. (◎ ▽ ◎)
Wow, this took long enough (with many months-long breaks, distracting Zaishen quests and racist encounters in between).
娜奧美[月影] My Guild Hall Smells of Rich Mahogany (5)
If you’re the average Guild Wars gamer who’s English-speaking, white, male, straight, young, doesn’t have a disability and so on, the worst insults that get thrown at you are probably the N word, “fag” or “gay”, and you’d probably go, “Whatevs! I’m not even black / gay.” and move on with your day.
If you’re like the rest of us, particularly those of us who run around with a Chinese character name but are absolutely and obviously not a bot or gold farmer, it’s not uncommon to encounter personal attacks from racists, even in the supposed safety of our own PVE district (Asia – Traditional Chinese).
3 months ago, I had these two Warriors in the Traditional Chinese district of Leviathan Pits, that came doing the taunt, point, shoo and laugh emotes as soon as I mapped in. Bear in mind that players have the complete freedom and choice to travel between any districts of the same area — their intentions were clear.
Aidan and Zho first met possibly in Kaineng Center, standing just within earshot of each other. There was no evidence of them interacting then and they went on separate ways later on, one off to befriend the Luxons and the other the Kurzicks.
A few years later, however, on our trips to various lands with tall folks who think we’re tiny, tiny folks who think we’re smelly, and smelly folks who are usually our enemies, Aidan and Zho got closer. (read more…)
This is a mini tribute to my brother’s Guild Wars Survivor (1) Monk, 智源, who recently died in the ending cinematic in the Vizunah Square mission, because someone else on the other team didn’t skip it — which is not that player’s fault, you know, because cutscenes are made to be watched.
Rest in peace, 智源.
ArenaNet, we have asked politely like civilised entities; we have whined relentlessly still rather like civilised entities… Now if you absolutely cannot reset a death count, please AT LEAST FIX THE STUPID BUG BEFORE ANOTHER SURVIVOR UNFAIRLY DIES CAPSLOCK KTHX
