I could use that, as my AC is currently busted.  In Floida.  I think I'll just stare at this picture all day and think cool thoughts.  Thanks for the post!

Did anyone make a male character? I feel like im the only person playing a dude!

I didn't take any screens because I didn't expect to even like the game, next BWE I will be taking plenty to try and help me decide what race and class combo was the best so I spend less time deciding on release day!

I like the new sunglasses in the cash shop.

Here is another shot.

Some really good ones there. :)

Can you create muscular female characters in this game? All the females I've seen on screenshots are these skinny fragile things looking like they'll break as soon as something hits them. Just wondering if it's possible to create a "realistic" female char for plate classes, I've seen some skinny but also very beefy male characters.

I added the best screens I've made to mmorpg site:

You can change body types and a couple of the Norn ones are a tad thicker. Let me see if I can find a good example.

As to number of screen shots, if all one cared about were the characters, then yeah, 600 would be overkill. The real star of the screen shots is the environments. With no first person view, the easiest way to take screens is with the character visible. (You have to /sleep and properly position the camera to get shots with out them). Besides, some people want to see the characters and if they only look at a few screens, they still get to see them. People who look at most or all will be doing so for the environments, not to see the characters from every possible angle.

I didn't start to really snap away until half way through the weekend and looking through the shots I have, there are a lot of environments and other sights in the game I missed. I could probably have 10,000 screen shots and still have missed something I wanted to share.

(I have more than I shared, I just weeded out a lot of bad shots, the same way I would with photographs. It's easier to take a lot more than you need, so you'll have a better chance of getting the shots you want).

It definitely more productive that trolling game forums.

Yes, I also did (mosty) screens of environment not of my char (thanks to /sleep emote). fiontar for me you did great job with screens and congratz on your black dye (?) ;)! I really like armor on the second caption (OP).

Here's my character /speaking of male characters/

Some of my screens from BWE2. Some taken from the jumping puzzles. Others just from me trying to get pics from high-altitudes. Enjoy!!

Hey guys. I've uploaded over 600 Guild Wars 2 screenshots, the vast majority of which were taken during BWE2. So, if you like screenshots and can never get enough, these are for you! (Most are 1680x1050, but a portion are super high resolution).

 

600? The amount of pointless shit people do never fails to amuse me. Did you even break level 30? Because you know, the BWE is sacred and only limited to a few days, am i rite? If you had lvl 80 and took SS of every single armor, beasts, scenery, I would understand but lmfao...

Also, there is already a topic for SS.

During BWE2, I leveled a Ranger from 1 to 12, a Mesmer from 1 to 20 and then returned to my level 20 Elementalist and got her to 28. I just rebound the screenshot key to a convenient place and snapped away. How lazy does someome have to be to see a few extra hundred button presses over the course of 36 hours of play a waste of time?

I plan on doubling that next BWE.

 

Just because I can smash my head on the wall 1000 times doesn't mean I should. It's a fucking video game not a slideshow, its meant to be played. The problem with nerds like you is that you live  inside your video games. I can't think of any reasons why a normal person would like to snap 600 pictures of his own character posing in different angles.

I like how you just assume that all the screenshots were the character posing in different angles.

I myself took about 570 screenshots of scenery, cool happenings, etc. Some people just enjoy documenting their in-game travels, if you can't deal with that, fuck off.

She's definately not paper thin like all the human females I've seen :) Maybe they'll sell some protein shakes in the cash shop for humans too :P

I think this is what we get for human:

Edit: As a side note, I think I remember more that were in the last BWE to be honest. These are probably a bit old, but I do remember the ones in that picture distinctly.

A few more for the thread, from the villiage just outside of Lion's Arch in Gendarran Fields:

There are more Human Female choices than the 5 shown. I think there are 8 or 10. I didn't get any screens of character creation, so I'll add that to the list for next BWE.

Edit: there are 8 as of BWE 2, this video from youtube isn't the best quality, but it shows the eight choices. A couple are more "substantial".
