Guild Wars 2

A big thank you to the both of you Think I’ll just have to fiddle around a bit and keep what you said in mind

I’ve been thinking of making myself a Norn ranger, who will most likely be a male. The only thing that really puts me off is how huge the norns are! I have been trying to fool around a bit in the character creation screen etc, but it just doesn’t give me the right feel of the size. So I was just wondering if any of you knew if it is possible to make a norn that is somewhat close to the tallest humans and without the unpropotional head/shoulder region. The only experience I have of norn size is the ones I meet every now and then, and they are HUGE compared to my human, and even my charrs!

Some help would be much appreciated

Another thing that is worth trying is rebinding all the F1-F4 skills to shift-1, shift-2 etc. I find it much more convenient than streching for the F-keys and you also avoid the hassle of changing the settings

I was in the middle of an escort quest when I got a pop-up saying the game will restart in 3 minutes due to a new build. This is the first time this has happened to me as a GW2 player, but as a former WoW player I figured it would just close the game down normally. I was also closing in on the goal for the quest so I took my chance and hoped I was able to complete it before the restart (for the record, I didn’t).

When the game restarted, my screen went greyish for about 30 secs, then I was sent back to the main log-in window and had to retype my password and log in on my Mac as if I had just turned it on. In addition to this, all my programs etc. was closed down without saving. I apologise if this is a know issue, but I figured it can be quite bad in some cases and therefore felt like pointing it out!

EDIT: I’m running 10.8.2 and the normal GW2 Mac Beta client without Wine etc.

I’ve always been more of a Charr person in this game, but I’ve just started a Guardian and I feel humans are more suitable for that proffesion than Charrs. As you would expect from someone playing Charr I am fairly used to clipping problems (horns coming out of helmets etc.) but when I created my human guardian I went for the full beard option and when I “tried” the helmet on in the character creation, there is a lot of beard coming out through the helmet! Is this a problem with most (heavy) helmets in the game for bearded characters?

Cheers!

Wow, this response was much more than I had expected, cheers guys! And yeah, you’ve really helped me a lot and I am definetaly giving guardian a go now!

I am delighted to be a part of the “we”, and sorry for the prejudice regarding the class!

I’ve been switching a bit back and forth between my engineer (25) and my ranger (15) and I am a bit uncertain if I should continue playing one of them or start a guardian. I was just wondering if some of you more experienced guardian players could give me some input on how the class is around higher levels.

I know that ANet got rid of the “holy trinity” of tank/dps/healer and all that, but I am still under the impression that the guardian is more or less just a tank with supporting abilities. As a guardian, are you still able to kill things relatively efficient on your own, and how is the class in pvp? I don’t need to hear “the class is kittene and they keep nerfing us blabla” since that’s just forum bias and likely to change anyway. I am more interested in how the class works, are you more of a defender that holds a point on your own and support others, or are you able to also kill someone?

Any advice/input is much appreciated

That’s brilliant! Thanks a lot for the help everyone

I started playing GW2 yesterday and of course I had to play an engineer. But after I had played for some time I noticed the skills and skillpoints system, and it got me thinking that maybe I am unable to get every skill. I tried searching on the GW2-wiki, but I only found “prices” for each tier of skills, and then I noticed that the last elite skills cost as much as 30 points., and with 220ish (correct me if I’m wrong here!) skill challenges and 75 it all ads up to 300 points.

So I was just wondering, will I be able to unlock every skill for my class with every skill challenge and skillpoints from leveling? And if not, is there some sort of “respecc” function?
