Guild Wars 2

Oh nightmare, what a stupid thing to do

Thanks I’ll go back and try again…this time exploring a bit before I rush out

I wonder if anyone can clarify the following for me, as I may have misunderstood how this works. From looking at the ‘things you need to know’ sticky it stated that it was possible to travel to another races starter zones (circa level 1-15) and you would have your level scaled down as appropriate.

I have levelled a human thief to 18 and wanted to look at the Norn starter area. I jumped across there via Lions arch and when I left the city (Holbroek??) I expected to be in a 1-15 zone. I was surprised when a level 43 animal pounced and wiped me out. Mousing across all ‘monsters’ I could see, showed they were in the 40+ range.

Is the ‘visit any starter zone’ information now out of date, is it a racial thing that has made this zone a higher level for a human or was this some bug I hit. Any advice on what similar or lower level zones I could visit and adventure in would be appreciated.

I’ve just bought the game a few days ago and was very pleasantly surprised when I created my first character (Norn) and played with zero problems for a couple of hours or so. I then entered the town for the first time and….. crash after crash. I’m running a High End 2013 iMac (24 gigs memory, 780m graphics card) with latest OSX updated and used the auto detect to have the client set my graphics options. After an hour or so I jumped into Bootcamp and played for hours with no problems at all. Definitely a client issue, not hardware. I much prefer to play on OSX, so any settings suggestions to stabilise the client would be a good start, but at the end of the day the ball’s in AN’s court to up their game from a tech capability and quality release point of view.
