If you've been around my streams lately, you'll know that I've been playing Guild Wars 2 again. 

This is the game I started streaming with, after Tumblr followers asked me to begin streaming my content reviews and guides as opposed to creating blog posts. 

With the announcement of Guild Wars 3 and just how many expacs have been released since I last played, I decided to create a little challenge for myself!


The Challenge:
- I must 100% a map before doing any story content on it.
- Any location I enter must be 100% before I'm allowed to leave.
- I must limit my use of expac things (mounts, gliding, builds, specializations) as much as possible until I reach the content that added it. *
- I must 100% any map that is part of the pack I'm on, including and locales that were not visited during the story. 
- I must do at least 1 full run of every dungeon and fractal available before labeling the base game "complete". 
- Raids, PVP, and WVW are optional but may be completed as a special stream or event. 
- I must be max level before taking part in World Boss Rushes or larger story map events if possible. **
- Any extra event I take part in, I must try for a Gold Emblem finish.


*I can use mounts and gliding to get to annoying vistas, but cannot use them for general travel if at all possible. Gliding cannot be turned off though so it's a bit unruly to limit.

**If these events happen while I'm already in the location it's fine to participate, but I cannot seek them out or loiter on a map waiting for them to spawn. 


To make this challenge awesome, I've created a new character! Brittany Spinch. She's a Sylvari Necromancer that will almost certainly end up wearing the color Blurple.

I've loved Guild Wars for years, almost all of my decade or more long friendships spawned from Guild Wars, and I'm so excited for Guild Wars 3! I'm hoping this challenge not only brings me up to date with the lore of Guild Wars, but also takes me back to all the things I've loved about streaming. I've been struggling with content creation as of late (I'm sure you noticed lmao) and I feel like really just resetting who I am on stream back to when I was my most authentic is the correct move. 

For now, I'll be focusing on Guild Wars 2 as my main content on Twitch. I'll be taking a few breaks as games I've been looking forward to come out, and as review opportunities come up, but for now I'd like to quietly label myself a Guild Wars 2 Streamer.

Thanks for being around, gamers!
