Guild Wars 2

So I deside to check back in on the forums in a week an HOLY kittens another giant forum board from glitch. Kudos on the idea.

Main Character: Currently Nitwoo my lvl 20 Asura Ranger
Current Server: Tarnished Coast
Interested Activities: RP, PvE maps, PvE personal stories, WvW, dungeons. Sadly I do not enjoy sPvP

Additional Comments: I LOVE my Rp’s so I will usually be in-character in /say. Hopefully that won’t turn anybody away <and hopefully it pulls people in>.

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: I fully support the project but I can’t help, I have to much on my plate as it is right now. T_T

I’ve had a pretty discouraging experiance recently and I’d thought I’d post about it here. And also hear any ideas for improvement. I began over the weekend offering help with a variety of dungeons, AC, CM, and SE to be exact. I refuse to do TA without atleast someone I know… I hate knights… <twitch.> But anyway, I offered and asked around and got no responces. Either way i’m feeling a bit down by the results and wonder if I can do anything different other than routinly message Lion’s Arch and the dungeon zones.

Any advice would be lovley.

And on another topic, if anyone is on Tarnished Coast that enjoys this forum post I would LOVE to run/speak with you.

I… have no idea. I only have the one guild and I don’t plan on un-repping them to test this.

I’ve no idea, what I DO know is that when the mac client comes out we are gonna get a big player increase. Or I hope so. So THAT should improve the amount of people LFG

Ok the way this works is that you can “join” any number of guilds that you like. Guilds joined are shown in your guilds page. Now, when you “represent” a guild you gain access to their guild chat and begin to gain that guild influence… atleast I think that’s what the currency is for buying guild releated stuff. You can un-rep and re-rep at any time. And yes you can get guild style skins by speaking to the guild armor or weapon vendors, they are usually by the banks in the major cities.

Well if you absolutly MUST HAVE new armor try going into the next zone. They should have a town somewhere that sells appropriate level zone armor there. Though to be perfectly honest I once ran around in level 20 pants at level 50 before I got a new upgrade, it wasn’t that bad. >_> <_<

Just a warning this post is completely biased as I love my necro and it’s my only level 80 character! But, with the build I have running now, and throughout my leveling journey I was pretty much average. By the time I hit about 25 I tended to just steamroll over just about everything, and if I didn’t steamroll I out-lasted them. Right now, while i’m in orr i’m able to do what I don’t read about to often, that’s kill a path through it. Most people just run for their lives. Not trying to scare you or anything!!! But yes, I <3 necro and how hard they are to kill later on in the game. Or atleast mine is due to the current way I have her set up.

I’m not being sarcastic when I say this so please don’t hit my little asuran necro face but…. become a tailor. Better armor, not that hard to make and not THAT expensive. I just hope your lower level so you can create items that are your level right away. And the other incentive to doing this is that crafting gives a MASSIVE exp boost. That is of coarse if you want that. >_>

I figure I may aswell post on this too. I have a level 80 and I find myself in the lower level zones ALOT because i’m trying to get 100% map completion. Now as far as DE’s are concered I have noticed that I tend to explode them quite quickly. Problem I face though is that I want to hit as many mobs as possible as I do love my crafting and them mobs drop materials I need. To strike a balance I’ve been using just my number 2 skill on my scepter, Necromancer BTW. It’s a large AoE bleed which still does enough damage for loot but easily allows the lower level people to grab tags on the enemy. The other thing you 80’s could do is prehaps run around in your “Magic find” gear. Magic find gear generally sucks as it’s only good for one thing, farming. So perhaps that will assist in nerfing some people down to a not-so-bad uber killing machine.

This thread gives me a great idea. I’m going to wander around the level 1-15 zones on my 80 and say in map chat that i’m now available to any in game questions and am also there to help anyone new to the game with any difficult vistas, skillpoints, or Story mode. I’ll also be doing “tours and lessons” for AC.

Opinions?

As i’ve been doing this with most of my friends if you are on the EXACT SAME story quest whoever intiated the quest will have all the cutscenes. Afterwards the other person, or persons, will have the option of moving onto the next story section if they so choose. At times I have chosen to not move on and re-do the event as my friend made a choice in the event that I did not agree with and thus created a diffrent story from his.

From what I can tell grouping dosn’t help. You still need to do X amount of damage to a mob to get loot. Sence your a mesmer <and I don’t know mesmer skills> if you have anything that’s an AOE confusion it should massivly help in the DE loot department.

Well, I’m going to go on a limb here and assume what your trying to accomplish is waiting for a certain condition to run out so you can apply a new one right after to maximize it’s efficentcy. This would be a good idea on most MMO’s but on Guildwars it’s a little pointless. Most conditions have stacking durations <poison/cripple/burning> or stacking effects <Bleed/confusion>. I THINK the only ones that don’t apply to these rules are stuns and dazes, but those don’t generally work on raid bosses anyway. In my experiance there is little downside to just spamming my own conditions as much as possible. <nodnods>

I’m reading this and I think your problem can be simply answered by perhaps taking a break from the Norn and making another toon, perhaps a human. You obviously enjoyed the Norn a little, otherwise you wouldn’t have gotten to lvl 71, perhaps all you need is a change in race/story and later on you can come back to the norn and get the things you want for that character aswell

I wish this would be implemented in game. I’m sick and tired of summoning minions in a dungeon, and the one trash mob that can aoe just snaps his/her fingers and ALL my minions esplode cause they can’t get out of the aoe. T_T
