Guild Wars 2

I realize it’s probably really chaotic with all the issues going on at the moment, but I was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as me.

Tried to log in just now (14.00 PM GMT+1) and I do manage to get to my character screen. I notice some of my characters (I just used makeover kits on them actually) have their appearance changed to what seems default faces. I wanted to log in to send a ticket, but none of my characters load in – I just get an instant crash as soon as I try.

I know the crashes are frequent at the moment for a lot of people, but I’m mostly interested in hearing if anyone else sees some of their characters suddenly changed and nothing like how they were created.

Oh god I’m in stitches

This is very subjective and depending on playstyle. At the end of the day, go with something you find works best for YOU.

The whole “staff sux” isn’t a legit arguement. I’ve ran Arah with all weapons, and even though some make it easier than others and some have pros over cons, what is most important at the end of the day (like in most cases) is your gear, build and utilities. I used to mainly scep/focus Arah, but my past few runs I’ve been sticking to staff and I actually found it to be easier simply because stuff just dies faster. Plus, as mentioned, there is a free dodge in Fire (skill 4), and Earth 3 is useful in the Lupi-fight.

Whatever weapon I use, I think every Ele should bring Arcane Shield +Lightning Flash +Mist Form, at the very least for Lupi, as utilities. This setup pretty much guarantees I don’t go down and can avoid most of his crap.

Focus is really useful in Arah, I admit. Earth 5 and Air 4 can be lifesavers, but never, ever brush away a staff’s DPS. Numbers don’t lie. To call it useless it’s pretty ignorant.
