User:GW-Bishop

Wherefore art thou, Mercurio?
I am currently not very active on GuildWiki, because my main focus is the brand new Gamewikis project: HammerWiki. If you wish to get a hold of me, it is probably more efficient to use my talk page there.

Who?
I'm Bishop. I play GW, mostly solo, because my time doesn't allow me to play on a fixed schedule.

My scores on the [http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=152193&first=yes Which Guild Wars Profession Are You? - Factions Edition] quiz from Gem's fun page:

Ranger 63%

Elementalist 63%

Assassin 56%

Monk 56%

Mesmer 50%

Warrior 50%

Ritualist 44%

Necromancer 38%

Interestingly, my favorite character is my... necromancer (well, tied with my warrior but that doesn't help much). I think that test is BS. :)

Why?
I like Guild Wars. In fact, I like it a lot more now than I did the first time I played it, 6 months or so ago. Not sure why, but I think it has to do with re-discovering how intricate and versatile the 8-skill system actually is. That, and I love the fact that I don't have to worry about how much or how little I play because it costs me $0 per month anyway.

Where?
I live in Denmark, but I play on the US servers. Mostly because the few times I do group, it's usually with my buddy from Canada. And I don't much appreciate the whole multi-lingual general chat that's common on EU servers (I only speak a little German and no French).

What?
I have 3 acended lvl 20 characters:
 * Desiree Steele / finished Prophecies as my first and only toon so far. Build not formalized.
 * Vanity Steele / - Flashbot.
 * Darque Steele / currently playing my new N/Rt Accursed Flesh and loving it.

Two Factions characters:
 * Autumn Lotus / Build:Rt/N Explosive Growth Minion Bomber.
 * Steele Spring / doing B/P (or what she was created for, R/Rt Tranquil Trapper) and the furthest through Factions of all my toons.

and one pvp character that I delete and remake on whim.

Quick reference
The link I use the most on the wiki: Skills_by_capture_location

Current project
Hitting Random page, fixing obvious flaws (like categories at the top) and unstubbing articles that need it. Specifically, monster-articles with all fields filled in and boss-articles that include maps get unstubbed.

Wishlist
So you're an incredibly rich goldfarmer and you love my work on the wiki? Great! I want one of these (no, I will not ever, ever be able to afford buying it, so don't send me tells with offers) Actually, I can afford it now, I just don't want to pay 100k. When the price drops to around 40k I'll prolly get one, as I still love the skin. .

Favorite Guild Wars moment
Henching Glint:  Soloing quite a bit, I've henched stuff like Unwaking Waters (master time), Hell's Precipice (w bonus) and Thunderhead Keep (w bonus) too, but Glint was the biggest gamble. Did it on the first try with the shown build, too.

Most annoying part of Guild Wars
The Alliance Battle map selection system. It's easier to list the things that are not wrong with it than start listing its flaws: nothing. Everything about it is silly. Either you play the same map over and over and over again, or the maps suddenly shift far to one side and then noone on the other side wants to play. Whoever thought it would be clever to have the maps be increasingly unfair must have been suffering from massive brain damage.

Oh, but the best part is when the map has shifted but there's nothing telling you or your team, as you stand around waiting to join a battle that will never start because it's now going on somewhere else. I can't believe they still haven't done something about that.
