Guild Wars 2

I don’t have access to everything I want yet, but here’s my level 12 Elementalist:

Awesome, that’s the perfect type of answer. Thanks a lot, Xiahou.

You know when you go to an area that’s a lower level than your own? How does that work?

Obviously, I know your stats get scaled down, but what matters when going through these lower level areas?

I’ve tried Googling this and I got nothing. For the sake of the argument, assume that I’m a level 80 in a level 20 area. I don’t need specific numbers, just some clarification. So here’s a few questions.

When I get scaled downed:

1. Does the quality of my weapon and armor matter?
2. Do my Runes or Sigils matter?
3. If the answer to 2 is yes, does the tier of Runes or Sigils matter? (Would I get the full benefit of the level 39 bloodlust Rune in a level 20 area?)

I’m going for 100% World Completion, so these things would be really great to know.

Bleh, I had yesterday off and I decided to dedicate it to trying to get into BG, no dice. This is so annoying. Don’t get me wrong, I get why the system is in place, but yeah, still annoying.

I maybe spent about 12 hours or so on it yesterday. The only Full server I even saw that changed status was SoS and it changed from Full about 8 times. The rest remained full though. Well SoS and DB which I saw change twice.

On the bright side, at least I know that you have to exit out of character select for it to update, so there’s that. I might just wait until the patch at this point…

Thanks for the info though guys.

Oh, a question I forgot:

How do I update my server population screen? Do I need to exit out of it? Do I need to leave the character select and then try again?

I have a few friends playing on Blackgate and I decided that I’m still somewhat new, so I have no problem deleting my lvl 20-30 characters to join them. However, everytime I check, Blackgate is full.

Is this based off how many people are online or how many people have accounts there?

I’ve been checking for a few days now and it’s always been full. What am I suppose to do? Just give up playing with my friends?

I know about Guesting, but I’ve been told that I wouldn’t be able to do WvW with my friends, which is something I was looking forward to. =/

… I would use the dye and get gold from other things. …

Honestly, after thinking about it, I’m leaning more towards this. Just not 100% sure yet.

Thanks for the responses.

It apparently sells for like 40g+ which for a low level like me, seems like a lot. I got it out of a loot bag from my personal story.

Now, the dye itself looks amazing, so I wouldn’t mind using it either.

I guess what I’m asking is: Is 40g a lot for a max level? Could I easily get that at max level? Because if I can, I’ll probably just sell the dye now and then buy it after reaching max level.

But then again, do I really need gold while leveling?
