LOL, I’m sorry, I meant ranger.
Awhile ago I began leveling a hunter through PVE in the open world, but I eventually got bored and put the game down, because I rarely came across any situations in which I was really challenged, and forced to team up with other players. I assume that this is something offered by dungeons, but I never found one in my time with my hunter.
Of course there was the occasional dynamic event that couldn’t be easily soloed, but 90% of the time the region was so empty that it was difficult to find teammates.
Plus, you never really have to team up for those tough dynamic events – you can always just gain a few levels and come back to solo the content. In that sense, it seemed to me that any challenge in open world PvE was made by hurdles that you had to artificially create for yourself, not hurdles that you HAD to overcome to advance.
Maybe MMORPGs just aren’t my thing. I do enjoy some multiplayer games, but it’s because they force you to overcome significant challenges to succeed, like LoL for instance.
I know I can find that in PvP, but I absolutely love the beautiful open world in GW2 – it’s just a shame that I can’t seem to find any real adventure there. Thoughts?
Thanks for the informative replies! I made some tweaks to my setup – I’ll report whether or not it helps.
Other than the obvious suggestion of limiting gameplay time, does anyone have any suggestions for optimal monitor position, posture, etc. for combating this problem?
Simple question. If I get 2 rawhide leather sections with a Crude Salvage Kit, will a Basic Salvage Kit give me 3?
Interesting. Didn’t know about the guesting thing. I guess I’ll have to check out some higher-pop worlds, and if I really want to, I can pay for the full transfer.
I just picked up the game a couple days ago, and created my first character on the default world, which was the first one on the list, with a medium population.
Once I started to move away from my race’s starting zone, I noticed that I was handling most of the dynamic events by myself. When I ran into a tough event that I couldn’t solo, I asked /map for help, but nobody even responded, so I couldn’t put together a team.
I was wondering if I should make another character on a high or very-high population world? If it continues to feel so desolate, it kinda defeats the purpose of an MMO.
When you click the “join” or “invite” buttons in the Party interface without typing a player’s name, this error appears:
The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by a firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network. For additional support, please visit http://support.guildwars2.com. (Error code 10:1001:8008:712:101)
At first, this was very confusing to me, because I didn’t know what I was doing wrong, and I thought that my game was glitching. It would be much more informative to have a friendly message along the lines of:
Please type a player name to join their party!
This glitch also occurs on my system (Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, English), only on the “Large” interface setting. “Normal” and “Larger” are fine.
ANet, this should not be a difficult problem to fix…
