Guild Wars 2

Oh, it was loads of fun! I also appreciate the fact that everyone was so ready and willing to come kill them all!

No complaints here. I was just curious if the respawn was meant to be that fast. I did not even have a chance to review all my shiny new loot *got some nice stuff too!

So I just found a splendid chest in Harathi Hinterlands. I hit people up on the map and they came running

We had to kill a champion and two veteran centaurs to claim our prize. They re appeared in less than a minute after being downed.

I am not sure if this is a bug, or if it is working as intended.

Anyone else have this issue with respawns?

I suppose with the level scaling this is a good option. I appreciate the tip. Still learning my way around the game

Level 40 as of today, so I guess I am not doing too bad!

Looking for some tips here.

I seem to be running into a problem.

When “questing”, I do each map to 100% and then craft with whatever itmes I collect along the way. The trouble i am having is that I seem to be anywhere between 3 and 5 levels too low for a new zone after all that. Am I missing something along the way?

I do not disagree that it can be fun. But lets look at it like this:

If PvE content had a similar reward system…it would be pointless. I like to play with the thought that I can become more powerful from my time spent. This seems to be a common theme in most games.

I like that arenanet tried something different here, I really do. And I do have fun. I just don’t find myself thinking about PvP much at all. It just does not have the same appeal for me as PvE content in this game.

Arguabley, if you need good gear, it would take skill to get it (in theory).

Playing in that type of environment, the better gear / stats is the reason to play.

In this game I have yet to see anything that PvP is good for. Now don’t get me wrong, it is a balst…but there is NO point.

Hmmm, I don’t really know if that’s enough incentive for me…I guess I don’t really care what my character looks like, so long as its powerful.

A quick question about PvP gear:

Is all the gear that you can buy from glory vendors just cosmetic in nature? I have only purchased a couple chests so far and all the gear stats seem to be the same.

If this is true…what is the incentive to obtain glory? Is there something else that I can purchase?

Thanks

@Cavalorn: Thanks for the info, this makes perfect sense now!

Excellent thank you! Are these runes crafted, purchased, or found?

I am seeing some armor with runes. As an example, I have shoulder with:

Minor Rune of Lyssa 1/2

What is this? I did not attach anything to the gear, so I don’t know how I got 1 of 2 nor how I would get 2/2.

Any help in regards to this system would be appreciated

Thanks!

So which is the preferred method as an engineer? I am currently just exploring PvE content, so it prob doesn’t matter much at this point but eventually I would like to start running dungeons and doing PvP and I am just curious if one is more powerful than the other.

Thanks!
