Team Spode took our third trip into Guild Wars 2, Sunday. The first week we explored Queensdale, last week we played around in Metrica and killed a fire elemental. This week, we had our sights on a Son of Sam Snow Shaman in the Norn newbie grounds of the Wayfarer’s Foothills, and the guild jumping puzzle in the nearby Snowden Drifts.
That was the first thing we did that required a guild, but, we weren’t enough people to both dislodge icicles from the cavern ceiling and plug steam vents with them once they’d been dislodged, so we failed that.
Mostly we just wandered around the maps, doing skill challenges we found, grabbing vistas and so on. Pretty unstructured, and not what we’re used to.
I’ve been reading up on the challenges that face us. My class, Engineer, has a lot of very specific things to do to support the group in these raids and fractals. Yeah, looks like I picked a support class, again.
Solo, though, my character is a little bundle of explosions. Set up a few turrets and defend them with BOMBS? What’s not to love?
