I think vanilla Tyria was designed for a top level of rare gear with exotics being a long term goal. That they weren’t expecting the average player to be in exotics (there were no ascended back then).

for a personal opinion, i will reject that claim. Exotics had a very reasonable acquire time. Majority of the playerbase can easily acquire exotics within a few weeks to a few months.

Anet already planned to release Ascended before they even released the game.

Back then they said that people got exotics far faster than they expected. Also, if you’ve ever noticed, you can play vanilla Tyria in greens with no problems.

So, if players got exotics faster than they expected then they expected most players to be in rares and below. If players can play in greens in open PvE without issues, then greens are what the maps are designed for.

Anet already planned to release Ascended before they even released the game.

Yes, they said that. But the game did not have ascended at launch (and therefore was not designed for that gear level).

You can run raids in greens! Some people set a 3g budget and ran the first wing of the raid. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4glido/ivt_3g_budget_raid_wing_1_clear_in_masterwork_gear/

An announcement of an announcement. Yay.

They’re used for Ascended crafting. If you have no interest in them, that’s on you, but some of us want Ascended gear and as such enjoy them as rewards.

That said, any discussion of this sort is going to drift towards “Damage Meter” and the necessity of such a thing ruining the game for a lot of players.

They don’t have to have that kind of statistics/data. Could just display ‘total damage taken ever’, most killed creature, total krait/nightmare court/etc. killed…

What I think WOULD be nice is a recurring-gemstore purchase thing. If people wanted to, they should be able to pay $20 a month to get the 1500-1600 gems. It would be a nice QoL change that I’m sure people would take advantage of.

I don’t want a yam or a potato, I want chili cheese fries.

Not sure about the meta, but lots of things have changed, especially with the April Feature Pack. You can catch up here

Play the Trading Post and farm materials. Beyond that, not much you can do.

For PvP/WvW, go for a staff. Great range, okay cooldowns, very nice effect on 5 (fear). Lets you tag enemies quickly and effectively.

Because of the megaserver, all servers are now highly populated. Except for WvW, server choice no longer makes any difference because we’re all stuffed together on a couple shared instances of the maps.

A condition (DoT) necromancer is very excellent, and all you really need are the weapons of your choosing and the abilities. Axe applies vulnerability, scepter applies bleed.

As for trading and reselling, that’s a trading post thing and the TP subforum can help you out. Idk if there are guilds that specialize in that but you can always ask in the guild recruitment subforum.

Give a pretty nice chest after each wave, make it server only for contests, make it group/guild content with leaderboards…

What server did you choose?

Any server is good for PvP, WvW, PvE. Choose any, though here’s shameless plug for Borlis Pass. We usually do very well in WvW.

Also, you will be able to level 1-80 doing purely PvP, as you will be scaled to 80 in the Mists.

And yes, once you choose a server you are locked to it unless you are willing to pay for the server transfer. I doubt you’ll ever need to unless you have friends IRL on other servers, which in that case you should just join their server to begin with.

Welcome to the game!

If you want outhealing, go play a different MMO. The current system is fine how it is, working as intended.

Also, it’s good practice to keep your passwords across sites different. Don’t use the same password for your email that you do for Guild Wars.

Play a Charr and try to do a jumping puzzle. Plenty of FP mode there. Can’t even see the ground you are jumping on.

Oh Gods yes. I main a Charr and always have to deal with the camera borking every time I do something.

Ooh, I would love that. And maybe a section for notes on that person, like where I met them doing what.

I have never encountered the Queensdale Train, but when I started this game, I learned how to play before I started zerging. Anet, it would be beneficial to newer players if this train was disrupted, perhaps any train in the starting zones.

I follow my personal story. I usually try to stay a few levels above it, and level in the zone it’s in.
