Q: What do you do in the Guild Wars community and where can everyone find you?
A: Most people know me as a Peachy party guild member and a streamer who made peachy twilight for her birthday and now making legendaries for giveaways/contests. I also host a farming day for the peachy guild and twitch followers who want to make some gold in game with me. People can find me on twitter (@monkeyherb), Twitch (monkeyherb), my new youtube channel (monkeyherbgaming) and my in game name is frosty the pyroman.
Q: Did you hear of/play GW1 and what was your experiences/ you're impressions? What is your earliest memory if so?
A: I have been playing Guild Wars 1 since launch including Factions,Nightfall and Eye of the North. My brother kept asking if I was going to pre-order the game and I finally caved in after looking up some information about it. I had never played a mmo before so it was a new experience for me. My earliest memory was me and my brothers jaw dropping reaction to the searing and how the game changed after that event.
Q: Did you/are you playing other MMO's? What attracted you to them?
A: Since Guild Wars 1 I have tried so many different mmo’s over the years. WoW,Rift,The Old Republic and Lord of the Rings online just to name a few. Since its release I have mainly stuck with Guild Wars 2. The thing that attracts me to mmo’s is the emersion of being in another lore rich world and making a character that is not me.
Q: When did you start playing GW2 and what got you involved in the game itself?
A: I started playing GW2 during the first beta weekend and frosty the pyroman was born after that. At first I was going for a crazy wizard sort of vibe with the name but after that roleplaying was over the name just stuck and now that is who people know me as.
Q: What have you enjoyed about GW2 and what has kept you playing?
A: I have/am enjoying how the world is evolving with seasonal events and the living story and of course now Heart of Thorns! The community is also one of the friendliest I have seen in a mmo as well.
Q: What has been your favourite memory of GW2?
A: My favourite memory is a quite a recent one and that is seeing the happiness peachy felt when I made twilight for her birthday and then when she made eternity.
Q: How do you feel about the upcoming expansion HoT?
A: I am crazy excited for HoT! I cannot wait to sink my teeth into all the new content with my guildies.
Q: What class do you main/ What is your least liked class and why?.
A: My main is my Elementalist frosty the pyroman, once you learn how to use an ele for certain situations it can be a very fun and rewarding class to play. My least liked class has to be thief, I don't enjoy the thief’s playstyle using stealth, It just doesn't appeal to me.
Q: What is your preferred game mode/Have you been drawn to any other modes?
A: My preferred game modes are PvE and WvW, I never really dabbled in pvp until i joined peachy in a few matches one night. now I enjoy all 3.
Q: What has drawn you to your game mode of choice?
A: Has it changed since you started playing? If so, how?
Q: Why did you choose to make content from this game mode?
A: For PvE I really enjoy to farm gold, so I figured why not stream and invite people to join me so I can maybe help them with tips for farming etc.
Q: Do you have a favourite memory of this game mode?
A: Seeing the world boss events for the first time.
Q: What is your opinion on the lore of the game?
A: The lore of the Guild Wars universe is what makes the Guild Wars games unique. The lore is very rich and rewarding to those who go looking for it in game. The added bonus of playing GW1 and 2 is seeing all the memorable locations again and how they changed over time in game.
Q: Is there a place, theme or person you would want new content to include?
A: With all the Cantha and Elona hype I personally would like to go to the isles of janthir and learn more about the mursaat.
Q: What do you speculate as the next possible race?
A: Most likely the Tengu or Kodan.
Q: What crafting discipline did you level up first and why?
A: Tailoring so I could make my ascended light armour.
Q: What is your favourite PvE content [Jumping Puzzles, Guild Missions, World Bosses, dungeons ect] and why?
A: Jumping puzzles because I like to explore the world and find new areas.
Q: Do you play Dungeons, if so, what one is your favourite and what do you think to the Dungeon clearing meta?
A: I like to do dungeons but only with friends and guild members. I believe that if someone wants to play a certain class or play a different build to the meta they should be allowed. No one should be able to tell them otherwise, play what you enjoy.
Q: Do you do Guild Missions, if so, which one is your favourite and why?
A: My favorite Guild Missions are puzzles because it is rewarding to work together with your guild and complete something.
Q: What do you think of the current Meta, do you think this will change?
A: I hope it does, I would like a bit of flavour and variety to the builds.
Q: How did you get started with the community, what inspired you to get involved?
A: Seeing how friendly the community is to each other is what inspired me to help other players.
Q: Why do you think GW2 has such a great community around it?
A: Because in GW2 nearly everything you do gives you exp, you dont fight other players for nodes on maps and mobs. The events and hearts encourage working together.
Q: Could Arenanet do more to curate and develop its community?
A: keep listening to the community and their feedback for updates and events.
Q: What changes (if at all) have you seen in the community since you started playing GW2?
A: Aside from the occasional bad egg the community has really embraced GW2 and the direction they have taken the story, with the living world updates and seasonal events.
Q: Why did you choose your particular format [youtube/twitch/blogs ect] ?
A: I am not the most creative person so at first starting with youtube did not feel like the right thing to do, so i decided to go with twitch instead. After I realised people enjoyed watching me play games I decided to make a youtube account for side projects and videos.
Q: What content do you create? Anything of note coming up soon?
A: I have a new lets play series starting soon on my youtube channel and peachy has chosen the first game to kickstart the channel, I also am planning a Q&A monthly series to people can better understand the things I do.
Q: How much does the audience and community influence your production/creations?
A: My twitch viewers have really helped get my channel started, things like helping me set up my obs layout and also my autodj. I enjoy feedback.
Q: Do you have any advice for people wanting to follow in your footsteps?
A: Do not be disheartened, It wont happen overnight and you have to work at it. dont give up and have fun doing it. also dont think of it as a occupation, think of it as a hobby.
Q: Do you play anything else which you make content for? If so what type of content? Anything of note coming up soon?
A: Any sort of game I fancy streaming I will play. people seem to enjoy watching me play horror games though.
Q: What type of games do you play for your own enjoyment?
A: I enjoy all types of games, horror,rts, fps, mmo, indie etc.
