Guild Wars 2

Any help would be appreciated!

1) Is there a de-facto Oceanic server, or one with guilds welcoming to Oceanic players? I am interested in PvE (primarily), WvW and perhaps sPvP…

2) So far I’m looking at a dual pistols Thief (seriously, I fell in love the second I heard I could ). But browsing the forums, quite a few people say that Thief is a PvP only class and impossible to level/not wanted in PvE…true?

3) Does anyone play GW2 in 3D via the 3D vision Nvidia setup? Any good?

4) If there was one thing that you wish you knew when you first started, what would it be?

Sea of Sorrows is the unofficial Oceanic server. There’s heaps of Australians here.

Haven’t played a Thief extensively, however I believe their combat style revolves a lot more around active dodging than other professions. Dodging attacks is harder for Australians than US players. Keep that in mind.

I don’t use 3d vision (I instead have 2d surround), but a mate of mine does. He reckons it’s awesome.

I’ll only answer #2: Thief is very much possible in PvE. It plays very well in any general PvE situation (from exploring, to events, to dungeons). I haven’t played much dual pistols because I find that weapon set pretty boring, but I’m sure they’d work. For parties I’ve never been kicked for playing a Thief.

1: Sea of Sorrow’S seems to have a lot of Australian guilds: http://www.gw2guilds.org/guilds/us/sea-of-sorrows

2: I just started a thief (dual dagger and shortbow though) and had a tuff time the first 20-25 level’s, but now i have invested more in vitality and thoughness and im doing awesome.

3: no

Thanks! Define tough time – are we talking Dark Souls on NG+++ tough, or ‘you will die sometimes if you make mistakes’ tough?

Don’t really have any problem dodging on my thief. I am in the US but play on a EU server. Is there some thing specifically bad Oceanic connections? My ping to the server is usually around 150ms.

Well, playing from Japan mine is 200-300ms which is fine for micro in Starcraft and most WoW stuff, but I know people with pings in excess of 800 who used to raid with us. That would be difficult.
