Sock Progress
I started this pair of socks last year, but as usual after finishing the first one I procrastinated starting the second and here we are now. I have gone back to knitting the foot, then all I’ll have left is the heel and the cuff – not a whole lot but when every second of your time is taken up it can be difficult to complete things.
Donating towards the Guild
As much as I love GW2 and my adventures in it – there is one very big major issue I have, and that is how smaller guilds are blocked from ever achieving any of the really neat guild hall upgrades, and sometimes even the guild hall itself.
I wish you could unlock it with gems, or gold, or harvested items, or anything that didn’t necessarily require you to have a group come together all at the same time. I feel like guild halls should be something that everyone gets to enjoy, whether you are in an enormous raiding guild that does fractals on a daily basis, or you’re in an ultra casual family friendly guild with friends who meet up once a month.
The way that guilds are handled bugs me. It always has, and unless something changes, it always will.
Still, it doesn’t stop me from donating as much as I can to ours, in the hopes that we earn enough guild status from one of the few events we can complete to actually get something done. The members of KR have worked really hard to reach the level and outpost that we have so far, and I want to continue to help and level it further, but with one person it’s not that easy.
Happy April Fool’s Day!
Whether you jump in and celebrate, or avoid the internet for the remainder of it, I hope you’re all safe and happy.
Achievements to Mark Progress
I admit, I love achievements. I love the satisfaction of completing them and I love how they make me feel when I can’t always see what I’m working towards. I love that they give me a goal in game when I’m floundering on what to do.
There are a LOT of achievements in GW2. Some are easier to obtain than others. Some I know I will never get. Some I didn’t even know exist and come as a surprise after they show up (usually after a world boss or a meta event that I haven’t checked out before). I like that we’re rewarded for the number of achievement points we go after, and it motivates me to keep doing things.
I know it hasn’t always been this way, and I know a lot of people do not like achievements, but I think I like the combination of being able to work on them when I want to, and ignoring them when I just don’t care. Some days I just want to look for cats, for my housing instance, and that’s OK too.
Happy gaming!
