Whatever Anet…..what’s next whenever you log out that character will be transported to the nearest city?
Boooooo…………..
SoulWarrior,
Your last post about leaving the level up is good. I have been playing for years and could be considered a veteran. The following is not a brag just a bit of information for OP to know something about me. You can skip this part to get to my thoughts: I have maxed and play all classes except Thief and Mesmer, multiple-legendary weapons/ multiple ascended armor sets and many other shiny things
There is a lot to learn, I learn stuff all the time…just play the necro and explore the world and learn the class as you level up. Become familiar with the mechanics of the game and the use of the UI, chat, LFG tool, game types like pve-pvp-wvw-eotm etc, etc.
Leveling happens relatively fast, soak up the new information as you go and unlock new abilities. No need to buy any weapons or armor at all for a long time, just use the stuff you get as loot since if you buy a level 40 wpn/armor it will soon become obsolete as you gain levels. Just save up your gold for later. If you are like me you may like to start another character for a change of pace. I know many people “main” one character and don’t “play” other toons but just use them for specific purposes. I like to switch around a lot between, in no particular order: Ranger, Necro, Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist, Engineer, & Revenant, and now with new specializations I can further flavor each of those for even more variety.
The way you play may change over time. I started out playing one profession for about 6 months, then i switched to another for about the same time frame then another etc etc….however, now I am very familiar with many different professions and switch far more frequently.
Hahaha, okay enough blah blah blah to your actual questions. Is the necromancer a good profession for a first character, yes…and moreover pretty much any profession is good for a first character, perhaps any profession really but you are not marrying it so the answer is yes. You have several more slots and even if necro is not the love of your life you will probably want one anyway later.
Later on when you want to also have more level 80 characters I would recommend leveling two at the same time then they can share the loot between them, for example at the same time level a light armor class and a heavy armor class so each can benefit from the drops of gear as you level up.
You probably already picked a server but sounds like you want to be on a US server, there are many EU folks on my US server. I would recommend going with any of the big ones in case you want to wvw a lot—-in no particular order: JQ, BG, YB, TC, FA, etc Servers don’t matter as much as they used to but EU or US does make a difference (although I never played EU so what do I know).
Join a guild, again you are not marrying it so it is not a critical decision and you’ll probably move on, but they can be a big part of the learning process. You can be in multiple guilds. Make your own guild with only you in it for the extra storage space….believe me that will be your biggest challenge in this world STORAGE TABS hahahaha. I could go on and on but just want to say welcome and enjoy, it’s a great game.
Return reset to Friday please, thank you.
Also, don’t add more pve type elements in wvw, put that stuff in eotm.
For all those who want higher difficulty and more challenge why don’t you just equip white armor and weapons, leave off trinkets….you’re happy to be challenged, others are happy the way it is…….win win.
YOU HAVE THE OPTION to make the content more challenging………….is it really that you want other people to be challenged more than they are….. or do you want yourself to be challenged?
You can transmute your stuff for the same looks as spendy gear!
- The goal was to make the Gem Store more like other shopping experiences, and if you think about it, there is more of that feel to it now.
Other shopping experiences: I bought a new graphics card for $349.00 and I was not forced to buy a gift card for $800.00.
Please do something now to reverse the negative trend developing in your EXISTING player base. Immediate action is required to save the game.
Thank you
