It could be your server, I was on a low population server and it felt like I was alone out there, especially when I wasn’t in Queensdale. I moved to Tarnished Coast and there are a ton more people and I enjoy the game so much more now.
Also try and find a guild that suits you. I prefer my small guild (we usually have a bout 6 or 7 on most nights but we all know each other really well) and we all run content together most of the time. But there are obviously a lot of advantages to large guilds too.
It’s like a concert t-shirt. It’s proof you were there. This can be seen negatively (ie, it’s cool because you don’t have it) or positively (it’s cool because it shows I was there). I think the later is what Anet is shooting for. The former is just an unavoidable fact of human nature that you shouldn’t stop you from doing stuff that sane people will like.
These are, after all, just skins. It’s not like any of the rewards give you an in game advantage. (Though the skin drop can make you money, but that’s not different from many of the other rare drops in the game already.)
This is pretty much exactly how it is. I think a lot of people confuse prestige with elitism. No one is going to lord their SAB GS or Shield or whatever over anyone else. It’s just a skin that will sit in the bank that I’ll take out every once in a while, like my wintersday backpack (not the skins because I didn’t really care for them, well staff was ok), that I’ll use to remember the event. I certainly won’t feel better than anyone else because they were very easy to obtain for the people who were able to play the game during April. And if you weren’t able to play or just hadn’t started yet, then no one is using their SAB skin to make themselves feel better than you. That’s dumb. Some people have some pretty cool gear from Halloween. It’s neat and I’ll be honest, I’m a little jealous that I wasn’t here for it. But I never feel like people lord it over me. It’s just fun novelty (from a PR perspective that’s probably a better word than prestige) stuff few will use a month from now and I feel like the vast majority of people get that.
9/10. I really like Saveth. Darkwolf is ok, seems a little charr-ish.
Solberg Skjeggestad is my Norn warrior and Magnus Baerenklau is my Norn ranger.
Solberg Skejeggestad Nordic, obviously. It means sun (sol) place (mountain) and Skjeggestad means bearded one’s place. The meanings are very secondary though. I just really liked the way it sounded and wanted to go very Nordic with my Norn’s name.
My ranger I’ve only played on a little bit, and I went with a more Germanic name. Baerenklau sounds like bear claw, but it’s actually the name of a flower whose genus is named for Hercules.
Pretty good 7/10. I like Dante but kinda eh on Strife. Seems a bit too obvious.
My thief is French-inspired in look and name, with Yves Mallette (ievs malleh). My ele is African/middle eastern inspired with Mahir Nejem (mah-heer neh-jeem). Majir means ‘skillful’ and Nejem means ‘star.’
8/10; 7/10
I have 2 Sylvari. Female is Brryher and male is Padraic.
Tried to use Celtic/Irish names, which both are.
I was lfg yesterday wanting to do fractals for the first time (I’m pretty new, but I’ve been reading a lot of forum guides and videos and have a fairly good grasp on the game for my level) mainly for the monthly achievement, and someone told me that I was having a hard time because no one wants to group with a level 22 guardian. Is this true? Should I wait on doing FotM before getting to level 80 or was this person just being rude?
The only real success I’ve had with it is in groups of 4 or more. Otherwise I swoop in, get the gifts and get outta dodge.
