Guild Wars 2

I’ve gotten my Portal to the Heart of Maguuma now what?

So it appears you get an in game mail sent.

I did not have a beta character slot appear, and I have not yet received an email.

I signed up to the newsletter again just to make sure I didn’t miss the chance, and even added the newsletter email address to my contacts to make sure I didn’t miss it even though I’ve been getting the newsletters.

So, now I just wait?

That seems to be the case, at least until the portal race is over.

For those interested, I was 12+ hours into the search when I finally got my portal.

It dropped during a rebuild the wall event, as I was killing a couple of jungle tendrils on the blue fort.

We had lag so bad tonight we had to cancel our dungeon run. Anyone else experiencing this? Any idea the cause?

While I love the movie Tron, I have to disagree with you. I have a cleric build guardian, and I find the shield is very good. Like any other tool, you have to get used to using it, but the shield can deal a substantial amount of healing.

I’m sure most of us will have to agree to disagree, but here is why I love the shield:

64 defense – the only item that has it. It also effects agro. It is noted as one of the items that effects agro. My goal is to hold agro, as I use the Invincadin build.

Knockback heal – Not only does this allow me to control my enemies, keep them pressed up at a wall or wipe a control resist charge on a high end boss, fully charged I heal for 1715 when I use it. I use this all the time to interrupt enemies, control them, etc.

Like any other tool in your belt, if you know to use it correctly it’s awesome. Today I used it to knock wandering enemies back into the grind stack (SE first boss they started running out, I rolled out popped shield and it knocked them back into the pocket and healed my teammates. – when used well …..

Shield of absorbtion, this reduces all damage taken by my teammembers by 33% when I line it up right. What isn’t there to like about that.

I’ve already tried to buy it, but unfortunately anet is not yet willing to take my money
