@Humpty Thrashabout: I always thought the same: "You only live once, so don't waste it, moron." And Jo, GW2 has a class called Engineer, with pistols, shotguns, and "healing turrets" and "rifle turrets". Just a heads up.

You know if you stop and think about it, "YOLO" is actually a really, really good reason for NOT taking stupid risks. You don't get a do-over if something goes wrong.

But guild wars 2 is a casual MMO there is no need to rush to the lvl cap. The game is just as fun before max level.

GW2 is a great MMO and I do say it's a must have, convince your friends to join up! Get on Sanctum of Rall server and join the Laughing Hands [HaHa] guild while you're at it, just a thought.
Okay, I wonder, did Jo knew about the accident before he made this comic?
Otherwise, that's one hell of a coincidence.

[url=#user_comment_178130]@markcocjin[/url]: Except maybe Rytlock or Zojja. Both are pretty good characters. But since Caithe, Thackery and Eir are very much humanoids, so you wouldn't recognize them unless special detail was given.

GW2 is a good game, but like with most new MMO's, lacks polish. It is my main MMO from this point on (The sPvP is stellar) but I would wait for it to receive a major bug fix first before you try it, some dynamic events can get stuck and 'obstructed' can be all to common is some areas.

GW2 pretty much sucks. Please don't waste valuable Comic-resources with such a bad game.

[url=#user_comment_178279]@Anonymous[/url]: Scouts play more of a support role. They pick up money easier than other classes. Money heals them and they respawn instantly. They can slow bots, push them back, mark for mini crits. You know if you can't imagine all the ways scouts can fuck the bots, then you should just play Heavy.

Don't get me wrong, Jo, I love and enjoy GW2, but even I would HIGHLY encourage you to wait until at least the first or maybe even to the second major update.
Otherwise, from what I've seen there's a wellspring of jokes or barbs that can be made about it.

Remember Lampwik from Pinochio, he said "A fellow only lives once" one could call that a more refined verson of 'YOLO', and if your remember, he turned into an donkey, so stop thinking 'YOLO' when you do stupid stuff, you just make an ass of yourself.

ArenaNet has flat out said that GW2 is never coming to Steam. However, it's not really a big deal.. it's not like it has something like Origin attached, it's its own game client. You can add it as a non-Steam game, but I use Steam pretty much exclusively and I haven't seen any reason to do this.

Just wanted to let you know, GW2 does not require a long time commitment. You can log in, do the first quest, and get full gear and lvl 80 right away. Then you can just queue a bg or a tourny and log off after.

I still prefer 'Carpe Diem' myself. yolo is way too much of a dumb meme now anyways.
Drake

To those asking: YOLO is acronym for "You Only Live Once". It was probably *meant* as a sort of "modern Carpe Diem". However, instead of encouraging people to live fully, it's been taken over by idiots who shout it as a motto and excuse before doing profoundly stupid things.

Guild Wars 2 had a good game mechanic but you might as well forget the game concept and art.
It has none.
It's basically a she-male ladyboy derivative Korean fantasy that has as much personality as any fantasy Anime/Dungeons and Dragons hybrid.
You won't recognize the characters in comics.

GW2 on steam? are you kidding me? That'll just never happen.
Plus, you can ask gw to save your login information so you just have to click login. I just added it as a non-steam game to steam.

Even if they did add it to steam, youll still have to log in to your Arenanet account. Same happened with Rift. I have yet to see a MMO with integrated Steamworks!
Definitely give GW2 a shot, is the most fun MMO Ive played in years, and the lack of subscription takes the leveling pressure off.

Well you might want to consider guild wars. Any zone or even area within the zone you are lowers your level so that you can't ever dominate anything. This removes the pressure of being max level. It wont help that much cause you might still get de-leveled to 4. Anyhow pvp makes you max lv.

I seriously thought that YOLO was slang for Yo + Hello, kind of like a semi-formal greeting. I was wrong;~;

Then they found out it cost too much to keep hiring mercenaries, built the respawn system, got a scout who actually did his job and gave him a gun. I haven't the faintest idea why the successor kept the bat&ball combo...
