This is a comic created by a group of friends and based on some GW experiences...mostly.

Enjoy!

Holy Crayolaâ„¢, that's funny! Your friends' comic contains some of the most humpalicious dialogue I've encountered since the Searing. I would go on and on about how you've effectively stomped the Twinkiemonk to dust with the necromancer humor, but I don't think its needed.

However, there's one negative pip in the energy bar. . .

It'zah too big! Individual screenshots are overwhelming my bandwidth and devouring my precious 1,310,720 pixels! Although I'm not an advocate of atom-sized snack foods, there's a certain point where one has to draw a line, especially when encountering a Ho-Ho the size of a Malinon's Malign Hammer. Send a message to your friends to make them easier to visualize, please!

My two cents

* You should try using best graphics in Guild Wars
* Smaller pictures for less bandwidth as stated above

They were entertaining and funny ^^

i dont think its the graphics problem, its the file format he saved it as. i have run gw on lowest before and its really not noticable. also, his wasnt too low, because you could see shadows and bosses glowed

That makes them lighter.
They could be smaller though. And with a better quality.

They could be smaller though. And with a better quality. Editing images in photoshop does not make them lighter (unless you actually intend to lighten them). Photoshop is a professional program with a massive amount of colour management abilities for pros who need colours to display EXACTLY right. If it contained such a massive flaw as randomly making images lighter, it would not be the program of choice for many professional artists and designers.

The reason the images are low quality is because he's saved them on a very low quality setting, with a low number of colours. And yes, they are probably too big.

That said, I thought the comic was excellent! Couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of those jokes. Are you going to make any more? I'll definitely be checking back here in case you do. Good work!

It is possible that he is using a filter to make it look that way.

These comics are great. I can't help but laugh whenever a warrior says "Hmm, I feel tingly" lol

IMO, the image quality doesn't detract from this comic at all, because the wit and humor are definitely it's strongest points. A definite must read!

Thanks for sharing these! Best laugh I have had in a very long time.
Just my opinion here, but I kinda like the image quality the way it is. It reminds me of the comics in the sunday paper, kinda grainy and not alot of perfect details. Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks for reading and for your comments. When you put something out there that you think is funny, you're never really sure if other people will find it funny. On the Internet, you don't even get the benefit of the chirping crickets to let you know if it totally bombed.

The image quality is intentional. The comic is supposed to LOOK like a comic. The visual size of the image is also necessary for artistic reasons.

There are a few more coming. Enjoy!

Quality lowered ---> lighter.

The pictures were probably converted to gif. Other than that I found it funny.

Sometimes borderline on indecency, but funny.
