Guild Wars 2

Hello all, I’m new to the game (played it for a bit and now returned to it again) and would like to try some WvW gameplay.

I tried reading up on weapons and armour used in WvW and what I understand is that we now use PvE gear in WvW. Is that correct?

So if I’m using low level green armour and weapons from PvE I will not stand any chance against players with higher level armour and weapons?

And then I also need to consider trait system, as I understand my level 20 character will not have any points in traits and characters over level 30 will be more powerful then me due to traits.

So, do I need to level up to 80 and get high level armour to be effective or are there any tricks I could use to not to be cannon fodder in WvW?

I find it satisfying.

I also have a .dat file in my Guild Wars 2 folder which is 10gig. How come the installer is not updating this file?

Hi all, I bought the game two days ago and I have been downloading the client for past two nights and days. As I have slow internet (Australia) I downloaded about 10gigs and I had 90,000 out of 225 000 files left.

Then, my laptop battery went flat and laptop turned off. I plugged it in, re-started the client download and I’m back to 0% downloaded and back to 225,000 files to be downloaded.

Is this for real or is this some cruel joke?

P.S. the free space on my hard-drive is 10gig smaller, which means that those 10gig did download somewhere. However, instead of having only 90 000 files left to download I’m back to 225,000.
