Hi everyone, I’m a former DAoC player, WAR player and SWTOR player. Just purchased GW 2 and wondering if any former guilds form those games are playing here. Also any helpful insight to the basics in this game. DL game now, so will be prolly few hours before I can actually play and try things out.

Thanks everyone

Dodging is the single most important thing in this game. This is important. Master the dodge.

After that, just jump in and play the way that feels “right” to you. It’ll change as you get more experienced. Nothing is set in stone, everything can be changed later if it doesn’t feel like it is working well. Except dodging. That doesn’t change. Seriously, dodge.

Experiment often and frequently. Take advantage of the Mists (PvP lobby) where you are instantly scaled up to 80 with all traits and skills unlocked. They can be reset freely on a whim. It can be accessed as early as level 2.

Dodge.

just following up on what bobobe said

if your confused on which class to pick, i recommend starting a thief

this might seem confusing since i just stated on another thread that thieves were harder to play than most classes, but they really will teach you to dodge

Gwaiyn – 80 Thief
Ryfaul – 80 Warrior
Fluene – 80 Mesmer

OP,

Roll on Jade Quarry. That’s the DAoC and WAR vet server. Check out the community page at http://www.jadequarry.com/

there are tons of DAOC players on more the just jade quarry , i play on tarnished coast and there is about 20 in our guild alone with more from other guilds we knew on the server. We even know some that rolled on isle of janthir. Also rimax this game is nothing like daoc other then keep takes and zerges. No meaningful rivalry that made daoc what it is , no meaningful relics to take orbs of power are lack luster and you can 5 man one , and all the maps are so small you cannot run anything other then a zerge. Also the largest thing , you cannot gain realm ranks and realm points , just karma and exp which is less of a reward then pve. IF you love zerging mindlessly , you will def love this world vs world here or if you love siege weapons , but saying this game is anything like DAOC is just disrespect to DAOC seriously.

I wasn’t aware GW2 doesn’t have a RR system like DAoC did / does. What’s the point of WvWvW or PvP then besides mindless killing

…Except dodging. That doesn’t change….

I read this and instantly thought of the start of Fallout 3… War never changes…
