Guild Wars 2

I, respectfully, disagree. I am very content with the level appropriate salvaging. It makes perfect sense to me, if I want level 50 items, I should go to a level 50 zone.

I am on an NA home server, and my friend is on an EU home server.I haven’t played in a few months, so that’s why I’m asking here if there were any solutions found, since I remember many months ago there was no solution. It doesn’t look like you can guest between NA and EU servers still, is that true? Would we have to purchase gems/transfer gold to switch home servers? Thank you in advance.

Hey! To answer your question about people in different servers in the same guild…

Hi there! Thanks so much for your response and explaining the benefits of being in the same server. I played for a few months, and honestly fulfilling the monthly requirements for WvW was painful enough for me – I was bad at it, I felt like I spent all my time just trying to find the commanders to follow around, and didn’t find it very rewarding for my personal playstyle – I like gathering and collecting and making better armors, so that’s why I like dungeons and events and some of the FOTM I’ve done too. WvW is well done and all, it’s just not my cup of tea

Sounds like I’m not a match for your guild, but thanks for the consideration!

Hi! I played this game at launch for a couple months, then took a bit off to play other games and was busy with other things. Relevant things about me to a potential guild – level 80 necromancer, bit confused and noobish now that there’s so many changes (the last big thing I was around for was the introduction of FOTM), I am an American living in Korea, so I am on a different time zone – so an Aussie guild would be great (or any guild with a variety of members from around the world, I just don’t want to be alone when I’m online) Also, I am a mostly a casual player, I work, have stuff going on, and I definitely cannot promise to be online at a certain time for events. Just want to put that out there. I’m pretty shy about ventrilo/teamspeak/mumble, so don’t be offended if I don’t come on too often. I am a 22 year old female if there is an age requirement, actually I somewhat prefer age requirements, I’m not too good with censoring myself.

Edit: I’m confused about people in different servers being in the same guild – can we still do everything together? What are the advantages of being in the same server?

More edit: I hate WvW, just putting that out there. If your guild is big on WvW, you don’t want me in it. I like regular events, dungeons, exploring more.

Thank you so much ! I was so lost

I guess I should specify – for humans. I play a necromancer and every so often I see people with eerie, white glowing eyes. Looks appropriate I wanna try it out – I was fiddling with the “create a character” and I can’t seem to create that creepy look. Any pointers?

An MMO will never be a replacement for your real life.

Thank you for putting it bluntly (and I agree wholeheartedly with everything else you said). I think that nowadays when people get into an MMO they pretty much expect it to be the new purpose of their life, and of course, they will always be disappointed because it’s just a game. I straight up just didn’t bother with the events this weekend because the abhorrent amount of whining gave me a headache.

@Zaxares: People are really saying that they won’t invite if you don’t have exotic gear?! I haven’t seen that yet in Jade Quarry (but I don’t play an awful lot). Real shame. I don’t yet know how this will turn, but I am just hoping that ascended won’t be ridiculously hard to find if the bonuses will be so large. Another thing, a lot screens show that the gear is account-bound. I hope it’s not – it would be good to sell on the TP to make available to more players (that, and I have the awful luck of getting great items that I can never use, example, heavy gear and bows when I play a necromancer).

Guild Wars was a game that once you hit that max gear ceiling the only thing stopping you from succeeding was your noobness or lack of knowledge/skill.

First, thank you for your response earlier as well. Really cleared things up

I will agree with you on this point, except that I don’t think it should be in the past tense (yet, anyways). – I am a very casual player. I might play 2-3 hours in one day tops, maybe three days a week. I never play on weekends because I have a lot of other things to do, and I still enjoy playing a lot of other games. I just hit 80 on my first character, and have 3 pieces of exotic gear. I like PvE the most, and I actually do find enjoyment in running dungeons, exploring maps, gathering and crafting.

I am not likely to ever spend time “grinding” in order to obtain an item. Legendary weapons are out of the question for me, and that’s fine by me. If I come across ascended gear in a dungeon run, that’s great, but I won’t go out of my way to run dungeons if I don’t enjoy them just for gear (I’m not criticizing anyone who does, that’s just my own personal play style).

My point is, that as long as I can still enjoy running dungeons, and face and “beat” new content with rare/exotic gear, then the ascended gears won’t ever bother me, like legendaries. However, if I ever get to new map where my level is on par with the map and I physically(?) cannot advance unless I get ascended/legendary gear, that will be my dealbreaker. I guess we’ll just see how things play out tomorrow by seeing how hard it is to drop ascended gear

Thank you Ostra.3927, Hilko.1760, Zaxares.5419, and Sirge.8934 . It’s been so easy to find photos of gear, but a lot harder to come across solid information.

I guess this doesn’t really affect me personally as a player too much (not a big fan of WvW), except that I really like to craft things, so it’s too bad they can’t be crafted right now (hope to see that changed!).

Sirge – I can see how this gear may make one player slightly stronger in WvW, and frustrate people as a result since it is competitive, but my question is why do you (and many others who share your opinion) find it concerning that a player may have a few extra stats in PvE? It’s not like anyone is ever rooting for the E to beat the P (okay, maybe with a few exceptions for the especially annoying people out there). Just playing. Also, thank you for your very informative response (and please don’t misconstrue this as trolling or baiting, I guess I just don’t see why people are too upset outside of the effects this may have in WvW).

Hi – this is my first forum post – I’m trying to find out more about ascended gear (and I really don’t want to search the last 187 pages of raging) so if anyone out there knows, here are my questions:

Can ascended gear be crafted?
If ascended gear cannot be crafted, then how does one acquire it?
What are infusions? Can you “infuse” gear that isn’t ascended?

If anyone knows anything or a site with “recipes” on ascended gear or items used to create it, I would really appreciate it. My head is spinning with everything that’s going on

Thank you in advance for anyone who replies!
