Glitzy’s Gamer Spotlight #7

What is your name?
AlaynaEvenstar

When did you start playing Guild Wars 2?
Or how long have you been playing?
At launch!

What made you want to try the game?
I had a group who had played the original guild wars and so I decided to jump in to GW2 with them. We all preordered and were logging in on day 1 to keep our character names etc

What’s your favorite profession to play and why?
Elementalist 100%. I love the complexity of the attunements and find that I play so differently then I did when I first rolled my Ele just learning all of the nuances.

When you log into the game what is the first thing you like to do?
I usually see what the dailies are and try to knock them out.

Have you bought Heart of Thorns? If so, what is your impression of the new maps and events?
If you have not bought it explain why and if you plan to.
I was at the announcement panel at PAX South and definitely preordered HoT!! The new maps are gorgeous and the gliding adds a whole new layer to things. The fact that we can now glide in central Tyria is AWESOME.

What goals have you set for yourself in game?
I want a legendary! I never started down that path before the expansion but now I am definitely working through getting the mastery track and getting the precursor that way!

If you are in a guild you’d like to promote please tell us about it!
If you are not in one, what are you looking for in a guild?
I’m in a tiny guild that is just real-life friends. We are way behind in the whole guild progression stuff because there are only 4 of us who regularly log in but we are determined we are going to get out guild hall!

Any updates or fixes you wish ANet would work on?
Not really. There are always little bugs here and there at patch launches etc but overall I think they do a good job of keeping things working and interesting.

If you could visit IRL one of the cities of Tyria which one would you pick and why?

Oooo that is tough. Probably Hoelbrak. Just to see the scale and grandeur of it.
