The strongest norn ever is probably physically stronger than the strongest charr ever.However we are talking about a battle ,not arm wrestling.Skill and agility matter just as much if not more.
Also a charr engineer would take out any norn.
And if we are talking about a pitched battle the charr win,hands down.Nothing beats a massive volley of gunpowder weapons + canons and mortars.
Everything said till now has been noted and much appreciated.This thread i think turned out to be informative also for other new players or people wondering whether or not to buy the game.
I gotta say this feels kinda strange.The community in this game is somewhat different than in other games i have been involved in,including mmos.Everyone is kinda helpful ,much more than other games,as opposed to just a few people trying to help out a newb.(me not being one of them :P )Not sure what the reason for this is but it is pleasant to observe.
The ongoing mood and atmosphere among players ,here in this thread ,the whole forum and game itself is kinda positive and natural(if you think people hating the game or trolling here are a big deal,you have seen nothing-take it from some1 that has beein a part of the bandwagon of flamers and trolls for years).
Maybe it’s the nature of the game that attracts certain kinds of people or because of the nature of the game the same people behave the way they do,maybe i am overidealizing my new mmorpg of choice ,not sure what is the reason.
I have started a couple of hours after the creation of the original post on a server and i am level 8(Thief) at the time of this post’s making. I wanted to make this update since i am getting PMs from people wanting me to roll on their server and to level with me to show me ropes and join their guild,ect.
Again all the help is appreciated and i am having a blast in the game.This is going to be my next big time sink. :P
Coming from a more static gameplay model like WoW (for me it was GW1 & LotRO), this video about movement might be of some assistance to you in getting your head wrapped around the differences in GW2 style battles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUKWeaXZeOY
Thanks for the link,but this is already known to me since the first 1 month in WOW so many years ago.I was an avid pvper in WOW and am an avid pvper in SWTOR.
If people think you just face your enemy facerolling while you stay in 1 place in those games ,they are hugely mistaken. If you don’t do the things mentioned in that link and much more in wow and swtor you’re just a nooblet and dead meat.Even with the obvious gameplay difference.
So after 6 years of WOW and 2 years of SWTOR i convinced myself to buy Guild Wars 2.
Super excited to be here.This is a absolutely 100% completely new experience for me since i never player the original Guild Wars.At the moment the game is being installed and i am shaking with anticipation to experience this world.I expect great adventures with the Thief i plan to create.
Anyway… just had to get this off my chest.
Any little bit of advice if someone decides to share is appreciated.
