Guild Wars 2

You promise? Well I beg to differ. Have you attempted to reach out to others? Have you joined a guild? Have you used the LFG tool?

This game isn’t going to hold your hand when it comes to grouping. That’s entirely on us as players to decide for ourselves. I would suggest making better choices.

I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that if you make the effort then you will eventually build up your friends list and you might not ever play alone again. It does take time though as I’m pretty sure that the other game you played didn’t drop you into a group right out of the gate. I’m pretty sure that it probably took you a bit of time back then to get to where you were grouping wise but might just not remember how it was when you first started playing 8 years ago.

tl;dr give it time & effort…it will come.

Just my opinion of course but I make no promises.

Warrior was my first 80…shelved since then due to being too easy (read: boring) for my overall tastes. It was a good way to learn about the game mechanics before moving on to harder professions but for me that was about it.

Elementalist was my second 80…you should know enough about that. Although, they are really squishy at times but a lot of fun to play.

Thief was my third 80…lots of fun with a difficulty between the Warrior and Ele. There’s lots of ways to mix it up when the actions become routine (like the ele) and he’s fast, very fast (at everything). I don’t find him very squishy though since part of the fun is staying away from damage so a mix between melee and ranged is a must as far as I’m concerned. Stealth is a fun mechanic to play around with and to see all the different types of situations that it can be used in.

All in all, I’d say go with a thief. The race doesn’t matter…it’s all a matter of personal preference. Except, it’s easy to jump around as an Asura so I could imagine an Asura Thief would be a blast.

IMO the Thief is the second most graceful profession to play next to mesmer.

lol…so a game made you be a jerk to other people? Why stop at blaming the game? Why not your parents, teachers, or even the government?

Why can’t people take responsibility for their own actions any more?

Your point is that the game screwed up so you screwed other players to get what you wanted without a care for anything that they may have wanted. Good job. Point well received.

You do realize that not everyone can afford their own tower, right?

Actually…the more important question is…Why do you care how other people game?

They built the wiki into the game to work as the “detailed” option you speak of. Just type /wiki <search term> and it will automatically minimize the game and bring up the wiki for you with the more detailed info you seek. That way everyone wins and they don’t have to code a bunch of extra info into the game.

EDIT: That’s not to say that I wouldn’t like to see more detailed tooltips. That’s just to say why they don’t feel they need to spend resources on such things.

I really miss the huge open world in LOTRO but for some reason even though GW2 is a step back for me in this regard (more like EQ from years ago) I still enjoy the game. Having said that, I agree…the waypoint and portal system definitely takes something away from immersion and potential. Not so much that I’d complain about it myself but it sure would be nice to see Tyria as one big open expanse where you could walk from one end to the other without a single loading screen.

I’m starting to get the impression that the use of the word “grind” on these boards is overused, misrepresented, or both. Anyone else starting to feel that way?

Oh, and same goes with the word “manifesto” as far as I’m concerned.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

Awesome!

This is the sort of shameless self-promotion that I can get behind. Thanks so much for this.

It might be natural, but this is a game. It’s supposed to make fun.
Is it fun to get less when you ask your friends/ guild to help you?
If you want to do everything solo, why do you play an MMORPG?
Play a single-player game if you want to, don’t try to ruin the fun for everyone else.

Its not fun. You dont know what fun is, you think if everyone gets everything itll all be fun, its not. The fun comes from having more than someone else. Wether you know it or not, thats whats going on if you were honest about it. Obviously you dont know whats going on if you think everyone having everything is going to be fun for everyone.

Holy elitist Bat man!

Besides, what do you really care what other people have in this game? Does it really affect your game play?

I’ve gotten 3 accounts setup on TC and I found that the best practice is to continually log out and back in to refresh the list. If you just back out of the list and come back it may show a different order of servers but the status for each is the same. Logging out is the only way that I’ve found to be reliable in this regard.

Having said that…my first account was around 8pm EST…2nd around 11pm EST…3rd around 3am EST.

Not sure if any of that helps but there you go.

Oh, and none of my accounts took longer than 20-30 minutes for a spot to open up. The first was within 5 minutes, the second within 15, and the third within 30.

RNG is never random. Ever.

I did read your thread thank you very much. It’s just that the quote from you was the only thing worth replying to.

Why do you keep making these threads? What are you trying to gain by pleasing both camps? Leave that to Anet and if you have any specific suggestions for them, well there’s a forum for that.

Sure, if I was interested in crafting them, which I’m not. That’s like saying that I could get more for my extra tire if I wait until I have all the parts to build the entire car. Well, duh!

Just took this one last night. First time on this quests and it made me smile.

The second one is currently my background for the season.

No offense but the warning are there…it’s called research. The FAQ and the Wiki both confirm this information and I was able to find it on both sites in less than 1 minute flat.

Lesson to others…if you’re going to do something as drastic as transfer a character in a person guild then read about the specifics before doing it so there’s no surprises. It’s all there in black and white, just need to look.

It’s Bigtime people…he’s just trolling. Let him be.

woutterr.5974:

very helpful answer!

How do you like playing a thief end game ? And do you feel like contributing in a dungeon?

I might not be the best one to answer that in regards to absolute concrete info since “my” endgame tends to be a bit more casual. I see all my characters as being viable at the normal idea of GW2 endgame just depending on which one I feel like playing. On that note, I feel like playing my thief all the time and when I do, I have a lot of fun without any complaints from others.

I also don’t hear a lot of negativity about thieves in dungeons in general…it’s usually rather positive.

If you like the ele and you take the time to learn the thief (really learn) then I can’t possibly see you not enjoying yourself as well as being revered by others as a good thing to have in any group.

Just my own opinion of course so take it for what it’s worth to ya. If you have any questions while leveling a Warrior, Elementalist, Thief, Mesmer, or Engineer you are more than welcome to contact me ingame at any time.

I’ll just leave this here:

Props to Turbine for pursuing what could have been just a figment of some deranged mind and eventually coming clean on the entire issue.

Every dev could learn something from that example no matter who they are.

This is how I would handle my inventory as a brand new player to GW2 based on my personal needs and experience…

1. Buy bigger bags. 10-Slot will only cost you @ 1s each so I’d go for those right out of the gate.

2. Use the Deposit All Collectibles button in the upper right hand corner of the inventory window (Gear Icon). *Better described by Grassrab above.

3. Go to a Merchant and click on Sell All Junk as those are useless otherwise.

4. Sell or Forge

• Whites & Blues = Sell (or salvage with a Basic or Fine Salvage Kit if crafting is an option)…I usually salvage anything under a certain sell rate such as 50c and sell anything above.
• Green < 70 = Sell
• Green > 70 = Forge
• Yellow < Ectoplasm TP Rate = Master Salvage
• Yellow > Ectoplasm TP Rate = Sell
• Orange = Sell (more often than not)

5. Create a “Mule” Alt…call him Sammule…stock with 10-slot Bags…transfer long-term items such as boosters for later use.

6. Create a Guild (even if only for myself)…start upgrading towards guild vault.

But that’s just me.

Tommyknocker.6089:

be left behind.

Where exactly are you headed in this game that you feel as if you will be left behind?

Tommyknocker.6089:

my MMORPG!

Hows that going for you? Do you have a release date yet?

Combo field dailies were only an issue for the first 3 hours this new system was in place. Let’s not fall back to complaining about things that no longer exists. Please, there’s enough negativity on the boards as is. Let the fire that has died remain as such.

Lighten up people…we’re playing games here.

The issue is that they are one of a kind items (some of them). I do not mind the Fiery sword that much as there is Jormag’s breath for GW2 players – a perfect substitute. The Mask however, is one of a kind and is only available through Halls of Monuments. You cannot get a Heavy-armored mask or anything remotely close to it if you haven’t played GW1. That’s my issue with it. I am not saying that the exact same thing should be available, but a satisfying substitute.

Again, there are plenty examples of exclusive items in the game already that are gated to other methods of acquisition. This is no different other than there’s something that you want. Like everyone else, you have just as much potential to achieve these items if you so desire.

The thing is that they make you buy an entirely different game to do so. Money is one thing – if you want it, you pay for it (Like League of Legends). The problem I have is that in order to get them not only do I have to pay for it, but I have to spend time (Like a previous comment even said years) in order to get everything I want in an entirely different game. That’s the problem I have with it.

Which is exactly what everyone else has to do if they want those items as well. This was a system that was announced 3 years ago. It’s a bit too late to argue that it’s the wrong system to have implemented. I highly doubt that you’ll see any changes anytime soon.

This has to be the most circular of all arguments on these boards…

Absolutely none of the “official” statements prove either side conclusively. None.

There is only personal interpretation mixed with personal experience and we all know how individualistic those can be.

If you click on the gear icon in the right top hand corner you can send collectibles to your bank. That way you don’t lose them and free up space. You can access your bank in any of the major cities as well as from crafting stations.
You can also buy or craft larger bags.

Thanks, managed to bank a lot of items with this! But of course my bank might fill up next instead, what exactly are those items for I don’t find the descriptions very clear.

Those items don’t actually go to your bank but rather your collectables, which is accessed via your bank and can usually hold up to 250 per stack of each item. They are used for crafting and once you get into that each ones use will become more clear.

How about 27?
