Guild Wars 2

Telstra, wanting heaps of money for oceanic servers to be installed in Australia is a total myth.

Internode have for years approached numerous mmo (Blizzard being the big one) and offered to foot the bill for setting up and maintainin servers here in Australia, just as long as they can say ’ Internode host official <favourite mmo name here> servers ’.

Most mmo companies just don’t see it as viable, due to the amount of Oceanic players who will still play on NA based servers regardless.

I’m starting to wonder if its something wrong on my end, but in every zone I’ve gone through from 50 upwards it seems that 3/4 of the zones dynamic events are broken.

This makes an extremely boring leveling experience being stuck at just doing hearts, collecting mats and grinding mobs endlessly.

Should I report these? Even though they may have already been reported numerous times already.

For a mmo that revolves around these dynamic events, it blows my mind that the above problem has progressed this far.

It’s all in the movement, I was dying heaps as well on my warrior initially. The problem I had was that I am so used to the WoW stand and deliver method that I tried to approach mobs the same way in gw2.

You have to strafe around the mobs in a continuous circle and occasionally dodging through the mobs. The mobs in gw2 are actually quite slow, unlike WoW mobs where they always face you no matter which direction you strafe, gw2 mobs are not as fast and seem to get confused if you continuously strafe and dodge through them. So now I treat each mob like a pvp player, always strafing and trying to get on their tail end.

Axe/Axe and Longbow is the combo I use with full signets. The Axe/Axe is best for continous movement whilst still putting out decent damage. Longbow, I barely need it’s mainly there for boss fights where staying in melee range the whole time is suicidal.
