About Us
Your journey into the fragmented, hidden parts of Guildwars 2 starts here. From bustling Lions Arch to the deserted Highlands, I intend on showing you this astounding game - from another angle.
Instead of usual screenshots portraying the front end of the MMO game, screenshots you can find anywhere else on the web, you will find a different viewpoint showing the hidden away areas that the devs and artists locked behind invisible walls, sub-ocean and inpenetrable deathfields.
I also intend to share some of the secrets and techniques they use to make the world seem more vast and inhabited than it truly is.
The scenery and the character design, whilst not perfect, is a unique and beautiful take on a fantasy world brimming with war, dragons, bloodstone-crazed beasts as well as the King of the rats stuck down a well. On top of this, most things are interactable and at this moment in time - that includes the chairs! As of the April 2018 update.

"Ever wanted to just take a break from all that killing and saving-useless-civilians-from-another-centaur ? As of April 1st 2018, you can now kick up your feet and relax on every single one of Guild Wars 2's brand new, patented Sit-able chairs! Have a break! Have a sit down." - Rytlock on Charr-nip (Probably) |
Jokos' aside (get it?), a surprising amount of their work is hidden from the normal players view - behind rocks, cliffs, impenetrable sub-oceans and sometimes even in separate instances all together.
Here at From Another Angle I aim to bring you a little closer to these amazing pieces of art, to show you a little more perspective of their work as well as bringing to light the sheer amount of effort crafted into the very soul of the game.
I am also working hard to add as much of the lore of each location to their appropriate pages, to have as much information and context about the locations as possible. As I find them I will also add in in removed areas and POI's that were originally planned and then subsequently scrapped (or possibly even to be added in a future update, who knows? ) such as the area in Dragons Stand.
Some of the images you may be aware of already, we have posted them to other sites prior to coming up with the idea of this website, so we hope you can excuse us for reusing our images here. Please rest assured that all images taken were indeed taken by us, but if you feel any other images here were not then please feel free to message us about it and we shall look further into it .
Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with AreaNet or Guildwars. We are ourselves players with knowledge of game building, who merely wish to bring a small insight into the hidden workings of Guildwars 2. Please contact us via the "Contact Us" page if you have any issues. Please note we willl NEVER disclose how to exit a map - especially as most of the time is it accidental. We do not condone map breaking for any reason, especially not for cheating. If cheating is your main goal, please go and find another game - Windows Solitaire may be more your style. We keep everything in compliance to Areanets ToS (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-content-terms-of-use/) but please let us know if you find anything that breaks it.
Please note: I have tried to take this website dyslexic and text-to-speech friendly, If you still have difficulties with reading, I suggest the OpenDyslexic chrome extension! I had originally set the website to that font, but realized most do not have it downloaded and thus it wouldn't show for most. This extension however will set any website to this font and make it far easier to read! I use it myself and can vouch for it !
