  • I played GW1 as a young kid and then was very much into GW2 for a long time. It’s probably the game I spent easily the most time of my life with. The past few years I dropped it because I felt like the quality dropped and also they focused on the wrong stuff (for me). But it still is a nice game and I like to look into it from time to time.

    I’ve been waiting for GW3 for some time actually, the promise of the story has me hyped a bit, but yeah, the action-based combat puts me off a bit. We’ll have to see.

    But in a 2nd video they released yesterday, they told people that they will continue to support and develop for all 3 games going forward. So people who like GW2, but not GW3 are eventually saved :D

    I am German and have an uncle whose name is Adolf. His dad/my grandpa also had the name Adolf, but he got the name before WWII.

    My parents told me that my uncle has this name because my grandpa misunderstood the nurse when my uncle was born. He supposedly understood “What’s your name?”, while she asked “How should he be named?”. He then said “Adolf” obviously, because that’s his name. And it’s said that once they figured out the error, it was too late to be undone.

    There’s a certain scepticism about this story being real. But for sure my grandpa didn’t do it to honor Adolf Hitler (aka being a Nazi. I don’t know about his doings during WWII tbh, but at least how I perceived him, he didn’t have any sympathy for Nazis), maybe he did it because he wanted to name a son after himself while the name was burnt…

    Just a tidbit from my life :D
