The end of the stress test was met with a rather cryptic message by ArenaNet:  ”Stress testers, you may want to head over to the Plains of Ashford in the next few minutes…” With excited glee I ran around trying to figure out where this actually was.  This was my very first Beta End event!  I missed all of the others for some reason or another.  There was aparently a little corruption going on in Ashford and if you got killed by some purplish looking people you got turned into one . . . and then got to kill the uncorrupted ones!  While most people were having fun slaughtering each other I was running around snapping pretty pretty pictures.  

Here are some of my favorites!
 

My Corrupted Cohorts and I starting out on a journey to slay the pure.

 

Guess what happens when you dive in the water while corrupted? You turn into a purple rock alligator thingy!

 

If only Eir wouldn’t one shot me…

 

This is the AoE Crystal shattering ability, nice for taking out lots of those filthy un-corrupted people.

 

Nothing says “Oh no you don’t!” like a teleport and a cripple in one!

 

My little corrupted Necromancer is quite a looker huh? Corrupted Necromancer seems like a little redundant, doesn’t it?

 

What a lovely little Elite Corrupted Gryphon Thing!

 

Master?

 

“No Master! Wait! I want to come with you . . . !” and then I was kicked from the server.
