Guild Wars 2

Yes, I will sell all that stuff and buy butter. But fundamentally, if its so common that you all are overwhelmed by it……..why do I get none? It’s a common item, needed extensively by anyone that cooks. I had so much in the beginning I would vendor it. But my stacks are gone. Leaving players to the whims of the TP is not nice. Just my opinion.

Back to farming. And still no butter. I am starting to take it personal! LOL

I am glad everyone else is getting butter, but after 1.5 hours in all my MF gear killing every centaur and bandit in Queensdale, I have a sum total of “0” (zero) butters. Yes, once upon a time I had tons. Random is random but it would be nice to get….oh I don’t know…….a vendor that sells it? Anyone want some blood, bones, glittering dust, carrots, or hooves? I got tons of that!!!

u can just grab the gift and run

Umm…….they hit me for 8-9K and I have 3K hit points. It is a level 15-25 zone. There is no running in and grabbing a box. I have tried. Repeatedly. So 6 level 69 princesses x 9k = you aren’t running anywhere.

I am a 41 warrior and opened a gift box in Diessa plateau that released level 69 princesses. One shotted. Tried again, level 69 skritt. One shotted. It’s a level 20’ish zone, and I over level it significantly. Are the gift boxes only for high level players? I can’t set up any abilities I want to use. So I share Morgax confusion. I kept trying to come up with a rotation until I realized the level of the mobs.

What’s the secret?

OMG….I am surprised and very pleasantly so for all your responses. If you think I am an idiot, at least no one said it out loud! Thank you very much for that.

I apologize for not identifying class and maybe I did it on purpose. I have been trying to find the one that matches my play style. When GW2 first came out, I leveled with a friend, on an elementalist, he on a thief. He was fabulous, I was always embarassed. But I managed to do whatever healing could be done to help him and he kept me alive. We explored the game, and then RL wrestled him to the ground.

I have a ranger that I have mostly warzoned with. In the open world I don’t do too badly because….I have a pet as meat shield. But I have never been a hunter kind of player. I am now trying a guardian, frankly because they have lots of healing buffs etc. And its very fun – until I get overwhelmed and overrun. And then I just want to give up.

A significant challenge for me is that I am left handed, so the keyboard is not my friend. But that is true for all games, and I do “figure” out where to put everything eventually.

It is actually nice to hear that I need to not give up yet. I will put in the work. I honestly still don’t find dodge useful at all. But I will keep trying. Thank you all – especially for being kind! <3

Hello. I am almost afraid to ask anything, but I don’t know what else to do at this point. So, please be kind.

I have never played a guild wars game. It has taken me a while to get the hang of the movement in combat, that my abilities work while I move. Have to say I kinda like it. But to be blunt….I am just beyond frustrated with dying. Now, don’t get me wrong. I have played the uber squishy classes in other games, death is part of gaming. Except it is very clear that other people seem to understand the mechanics of survival way better than I do. I have spent a great deal of time trying to find resources on builds, gear, rotations, best traits, best skills, etc. Something, anything that would help me figure out what I don’t understand. I have tried different classes.

I just participated in killing the Krait Witch in Caledon Forest. There were 6-8 people, and everyone died, multiple times. Maybe its not just me. But I am starting to avoid all events. My self heal…..is the most inadequate heal ever. Its half the size of the hits I take. And when I am downed, now all that movement and dodging is gone. I don’t understand this. If I am supposed to avoid damage by movement, how do I do that downed? I wish I could chose an option to just be killed outright so I could get on with playing the game.

I will beat everyone to the punch. I need to L2P. But I need to play guildwars to learn to play guildwars. I know I am not the best player, but I am not horrible either. Is Guild Wars only for L33T ZOMG players? Are there any mature resources to explain the mechanics so I might learn what to change in how I play?

<Gulp> please be kind.
