Guild Wars 2

artfish.6854:

Yesterday I played with a friend of mine who bought the game only recently. He made a Human, so I went to Queensdale to play with him. I was on my Sylvari Warrior (27) and Queensdale was unexplored land for him too.

Now to the point: it was kind of an unpleasent experience. Despite of downgrading, my character was so totally overpowered, he could oneshot the most enemies, for some maybe 2 to 3 swings were needed. Veteran mobs and even Champions, like the 2 troll Champions in this Zone or the Bandit group event boss in the cave, were easily defeated.

Maybe (hopefully) it’s just in the starting zone and later on it’d get more difficult being downgraded, but so far, I felt/was totally OP, even to a point where I thought I was ruining the game for all other players participating in this events, which made me sad.

The fact of playing a warrior amplified that “overpoweredness”, since the Warrior profession is already overpowered in contrast to other classes in PVE. Compared to my Mesmer (80) or my Hunter (20), he mows through the enemies, especially in dynamic events with a lot of them, the more the better, and gets 3 to 5 times the loot of my other chars.

Well I agree here, open world I do feel OP, I’m mostly referring to dungeons I guess, I don’t feel OP there at all (but than again I’ve only been to AC)

I like that things scale and are challenging… but man, I’m 80 and still get owned going to a lvl 30 dungeon (could be me, could be the PUG, I don’t know) at any rate, I never really feel that sense of “the man” is that possible in this game, specifically in dungeons?

On average, how many different armor sets do you plan on getting, seems like there are so many different sets, each taking a while to get (either lots of gold, karma, or dungeon tokens) … do most folks set their eyes on one and grind it out, or do folks get different ones (if different ones, how do you manage them – given that transmuting destroys items)

Are there only weapon lengendaries or are there lengendary armor sets as well?

How many are you willing to create?

The answer lies within you…

Don’t look at the finger or you’ll miss all the heavenly glory

I found this:

Good question, I’m a level away from 80, my best guess right now is Orr area, but I could be wrong.

*What I dont know about the orr area is if the better loot comes from karma vendors there, trash mob, or world bosses

At lvl73 I got to Straits of Devastation (now lvl75), but I noticed that my leveling speed took a hit, I’ve been to other areas like sparkfly where events are contanst just about and really close together, fast leveling, and most importantly I knew what to do

In Straits of Devastation I’m kind of lost, I’ve spent more time killing individual monsters instead of doing events, doesn’t seem like the big orange event is up often, and if I do see it, it seems to far away and no-one around, amd I doing something wrong? How can I be part of the zerges I hear so much about?

I can’t seem to be able to buy anything, for instance I see there are plenty of eggs I enter my quantity, but the buy Button is grayed out… is this a know issue?

Any good area to do event chains over and over and get a quick 4 to 6 levels? I did that in Fort Salma at lower lvl since that chain was always up, I mean always, maybe just a 1 minute between the event started all over again, I must have gotten at least 5 quick lvls from there.

Anyone know if such a place exists for lvl52+

In my previous MMO, once I got to dungeon level I was able to hit max level just running dungeons, is that possible in Gw2? Does it give good xp running a dungeon?

I’m about to hit level 35, any good tips on how to join my first party? Should I stand outside the instance or does the looking for group tool work pretty well?

I ask because I’m at work and can’t wait to get home, want to waste as little as time possible getting my dungeon on

Can I remove a component from an item?
