THOUGHTBLUDGEON GUILD
by GeeViouS · August 22, 2012
Random footage of the 3 or so hours spent in WvW. There was a major glitch with most of the animations for charges or leaps. The warrior I was playing had the same issues. Hopefully this will get fixed. Not being able to see mobs or players in pvp after a charge isn’t fun.
