Guild Wars 2

I’ve been looking for a guild for a bit now, and I think I’m interested in yours. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to do this on your forums or what, but I couldn’t figure out how to post

Anyways,

GW2 Username: Aureol.2739
Age: 24
Timezone: Mountain Standard Time
Why do you want to join CG?: This seems like a cool small guild, which is what I was looking for. Also, I am at least mildly interested in all content (PvX and RP), though I don’t have much experience anywhere, as I’ve been playing GW2 for only . . . two months? I’ve been doing mostly PvP and some RP lately, but I do want to get around to starting Fractals as well, and WvW sounds cool too

I’ll be looking for y’all in-game.

I hope it’s work on the Mac/Linux OS as well. I have Windows on my Macbook, so I can play anyways, but I’d rather use the Mac OS whenever possible

I would be all for this; even if a house was a bit over-the-top, I think a personal room (living room, bedroom, whatever route they go) would be very doable and fit well in the game.

I can’t guarantee I’d buy it, depending on the price, but I’d strongly consider it.

I’m aware that people who bought GW2 during the first quarter will be refunded… and what about the veteran’s – the playerbase who is supporting the game since the very beginning?

The people who supported the game from the beginning got to take part in everything. They got to do the Mad King’s Clocktower with every other player’s body getting in the way, they got precursors from the Ancient Karka, they got to delve into the Molten Facility to try to get jet packs, they met the new set of heroes that are going to be carrying us into Heart of Thorns as they were introduced, they got to experience Tequatl back when it didn’t matter if he summoned bone walls because everyone stood inside them anyway, they got to experience the tension and camaraderie of fighting Scarlet’s Marionette in Lornar’s Pass, they participated in the epic Battle of Lion’s Arch, and they got every episode of the Living Story Season Two for free on top of all that just for logging in.

You’ve supported the game from the very beginning, and you’ve been amply rewarded for it with what I assume has been close to three years of enjoyable gameplay, seeing as you’re still here. That is what you get as a veteran player. That is your advantage. If all of that is meaningless to you, if that’s something that you’re going to brush off because you’re upset that a new player might get a deal now, then perhaps this expansion isn’t for you. Your interests might be better served elsewhere.

This. I have only played a month, and I bought the game for $20. I don’t know how much it originally cost; let’s just say $50. You might say that you were ripped off, and you might say that Anet loves new people like me. At the same time, I gladly would’ve paid the extra $30-40 to have been a part of this game since the beginning.

You might say you are getting cheated for buying the expansion at $50 when new players get the base game and expansion for the same price. I’m not saying Anet shouldn’t give more to veterans, but what I am saying is think about all the time, fun (hopefully), and experiences you had that will be very difficult for newcomers to have.

It’s different.

Now, whether the expansion is worth $50 in the first place is a whole different question, but that is not what this thread is about.

I would like to see them allow for an equipment slot for one of each weapon type a character can wield (2 for dual-wield weapons) and you then just select amongst those as part of your active weapon-sets.

I think this is the most practical solution. That way balance isn’t affected and we can avoid situations like the OP had.

Thanks everyone for the advice I will be starting today, and what I’ve read has been quite helpful!

Hi! I’m Aureol, and I bought this game today, looking for a good MMO to get involved with. I’m eagerly waiting for the download to finish, but in the mean time I figured I would get some tips to start with.

Any newbie advice is welcome, but I particularly wanted to ask if some classes are harder than others, in what ways certain classes might be “better”, etc. For instance, I find the Mesmer most appealing, but briefly checking the internet, some said this class can be difficult, so it might not be ideal for my first character. Thoughts?

Also, what would be a good server to join? I want lots of people to be in it, but I don’t want to compound a problem with an already-full server as well.

Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever, in regards to character creation or getting started in general
