Also approach dungeons with an open mind. Don’t expect it to be easy/hard, it’s just different. Approach it with a clear open mind, it’s slightly different from normal PvE.

Oh sorry Spider.
AC = Shorthand for Ascalonian Catacombs
SRS = Internet troll speak for Serious
I can wait Spider take your time and enjoy the game. I still be there whenever your up for it, or any of the others will be there for that matter.
@Ayumi
I won’t be angry as ling as you practice your ninja flips! I’ll show you in game we meet up later. I’ve the patience as long as you’ve got enthusiasm, teamwork and try your best! I’ll do my best so you won’t rack up a big repair bill.
I’ll save you! (You normally catch me in some garish outfit in game)
I suggest contacting Lexy to pair with on Gunnar’s, she’s a lovely person that you want to get to know asap! Once you’re in just stir up a conversation in the chat.
Also just recommend that you read your skills and know exactly what they do. Knowing your class is the key to winning! A person that does well.knows their class very well.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/OPERATION-UNION-Bringing-Players-Together
Warm welcome to you all!
@Ayumi. You’ll fit right in!
This is a casual/social place. At the time being most of our EU players are situated on Aurora Glade or Gunnar’s Hold. If you are looking for more active play go to Gunnar’s or another server other than Aurora. Most players on Aurora my RL friends and family are most active on Fri to Sun only.
I run AC a lot. I’m an AC Vet, however I am the most Elitest Leader! Always looking for MOAR SRS! I’m the worst drill master and ruthless leader!
Ask Lexy how bad I am! I get the job done. No. Fun. Allowed. EVER.
No I really am happy to go through anything AC if you’re up for it. Most likely.doing one this evening GMT 1900/2000 depending on my work.

Guzzi another person’s view is always a valid one.
Dam you! I had a great post typed out and my phone crashed…
I think you might have come on too strongly to the lady or maybe they’re just not very nice? I’ve turned down a lot of women because even though it’s obvious they like mean to me it’s obvious we’re just too different. Sure it can be a good thing but I just don’t see us clicking, and these are drool over women with good hearts to boot! So many factors come into play don’t dwell on it too much as it can eat away at you!
After first contact you need to keep up a sustained, regular, happy, light, upbeat and positive contact. Do this for every first contact that you can. A person is more comfortable around someone that can have a very upbeat, light and happy conversation.
Over time continue doing this eventually they will become an acquaintance which can easily lead to friendship if you desire.
Friendship: Keep up the sustained contact after first contact. Over time they become comfortable around you to talk about most things. After you’ve established trust with the give and take factor, you’ll be relied upon on a lot of matters important to them. You have to be that guy that encourages, supports and advises them. Say it as you see it, don’t say it coldly though use empathy and really try to see it from their point. However you are the voice of reason and clarity so you say it as you see. People come to the ones that can be relied upon for an honest answer. You’re
there for the good and bad.
Dating: As always sustained contact. However once you get to the more intimate stages you become that guy that is not there on every beck and call. (in any situation never become that needy, over eager to please guy. It’s a big turn off)
Okay for this bit you have to establish a pseudo friendship, I’m not talking about a fake friendship for a quick play. You’re the guy that they can come to when things go really FUBAR, you’re not the one to turn to for every little thing but the big things. Keep up sustained contact as usual. Eventually they see you as someone to trust established by the give and take factor. If they come to you for small things redirect them to their other friends, however listen to some as if you’re not prepared to some of their smaller worries they will never tell you their larger troubles.
This so you do not fall victim to the friend zone. If that happens you may never come up on their radar in most occasions. I have some tips if you ever need it if you find yourself in such predicament.
So keep sustained contact light, happy and positive. Most of all keep it regular. If you happen to see them outside class give then a wave or a small smile if you know for sure they saw you. At least a smile even if you’re not so sure. Try to keep this up not just in class but outside too!
As for your interest I really do use it to your advantage! I took music for a gcse and praticed with some good friends. I played the guitar outside whenever (look up Andy Mckee/Antoine Dufour) I had people coming up to us wondering how I even learnt to play like that. Most hilarious bit was seeing their faces when they asked me what grade I was and I said not even grade 1.
I still make my own stuff and play it. Also if you like singing that can really help with confidence too.
(Warning: This attracts a lot of women!
I had a lot wondering where I learnt to play)
So yea, do you uave a hard time wondering what to do to keep that sustained contact? Are you unsure what to do if you see them outside of class?
Rmember keep it light, happy and positive. You’ve already shown me what a wonder person you are, you just got to get it across to people you meet first hand!
Also being an animated talker is not a problem as long as you don’t use it excessively. They are actually great ways to get a point across etc. I know as I had to do a lot of speaking when in my secondary school.
Try it with the other little tips I gave you! Small things make a big impact!
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/OPERATION-UNION-Bringing-Players-Together
@Kunshu
Did you ever see her outside or after class? It seemed that the lady liked you a lot. The thing is you need to sustain that contact. She initiated and probably thought you weren’t interested in being her friend if you didn’t carry on that contact. If that happens again sustain the contact. If you see them outside of class just give them a small smile or wave if they see you etc. Once they’re more comfortable then you can openly approach them more easily etc.
Keep a positive outlook and sustain contact!
@Aleniel
It happens to a lot more than you think, I think you know this a fresh start is a good one. Keep that positive outlook!
Never be afraid to be who you are because that is when you’re the best.
I pride myself on being a Nerd and no-one can take that away from me
As to not alienate yourself from your old friends, if you made a new friend introduce them to your old lot, then they won’t feel that you’re off with a brand new set.
Also things come in surprising places. I know a lot of attractive women that also play video games. Heck some even enjoy playing old school Quake. Never underestimate them as they’re some of the kindest women I know!

^ Save all the Karma that you’ve gathered you’ll need a lot!
As for the trade choose the ones that are appropriate i.e tailor and artificer for an ele or choose the trades that are needed to craft your desired legendary.
Also better get started on those tier 6 mats. You’ll need a lot, you can either craft ascended gear or get it from a drop whilst doing Fractals.
If you want to do this all by yourself:
Tier 6 mats needed
Crafting: Gets the skillpoints needed to get some of legendary components
Karma: Lots needed for the legendary
Good luck!

Well the base stats on all lvl 80 gear are the same the difference being runes. Some folks aren’t really bothered with what they wear so stick with whatever they find. Some are normally scouring places to get the unique looking armour or getting their cultural armour.
Exotics can be obtained from dungeons, the temples using karma, drops and if I’m not mistaken you can get some armour by exchanging badges. Not sure about the tier though.
Most of the different looking armour seems to be from dungeons, crafting or karma. I hit lvl 80 recently running around in dropped armour. Only now have I recently started to take care on my chars looks. At the moment I’ve now found the armour pieces and look that I like, however pieces are lvl55 – 65 with the exception being my ascalon boots.
Over at Operation Union the folks there run dungeons fairly regularly mainly in the evenings both NA and EU servers. I’ve run AC to death since lvl27 so I have enough tokens to buy a full set of armour and the weapons I want.

I had to Google philanthropist! That’s really nice of you and thank you! I’m just trying to help a fellow human out though, there’s lots that also do it.
You have plethora of activities and hobbies so there’s nothing short of what you can talk about!
I wouldn’t say change who you are just how you begin to perceive the world a tiny bit.
Just start feeling grateful and happy about the things going right in your day. Try my advice about being happy about each little thing in your day.
I would never say change yourself as we don’t want to change who you are. I’m just saying you need to get a bit of that love and joy back. Go outside and enjoy the weather and be thankful that it’s there. Small things like that do wonderful and massive changes to your psyche!
If you ever need someone to talk to in game there’s an amazing set of beautiful people over at Operation: Union spread all over certain servers. They’re full of chatter all the time!
So try that out day by day, little by little and see how it turns out for you. Just say it to yourself. If the weather’s nice say: Wow the weather’s nice I sure am grateful for that. Don’t say it half heartedly either say it like you really mean it. After a while you REALLY do mean it and become to appreciate and love it. Do that for everything you come across.

Go advice from both the above. I took statistics never thought it would have much use to what I wanted to really do, but NOW I’m able to calculate some pretty accurate scenarios. Keep up to date with the patch notes etc. E.g with the introduction of Fractals precursor prices were bound to tank due to future introductions of Fractal items becoming the new high end. Now they’re decreased by at least 30%.

Disagreements. This is actually a good thing as long as it is kept calm and under control. This allows you to know a persons dislikes too. Creates some interesting conversations and the lady actually appreciates that you’re not just a yes man saying the right things for a quick bed. You come across as a more genuine and honest person that women seek more long term commitments either relationship/friendship.
Manners and Acknowledgement
Alright, this bit may seem obvious but sometimes you might not realise that you’re actually not doing it! Small things like opening the door and holding it out for others. If they any decent sense they will say thank you. Acknowledge them, comment it’s no trouble and give them a small smile in return.
When having a conservation laugh and smile after a shared joke or smile when you’ve come across you both agree upon or like. Share a small smile and then continue the conversation. I smiling person is someone is a happy person.
Acknowledgement, okay this can come across as awkward if done too eagerly or boldly. If you see someone you met, give them a smile and a wave. Make sure you catch their eye before doing so. People enjoy being acknowledged as it imprints that they made an impression on you and it’s a little ego boost. You’re always around people that make.you feel.good about yourself and the person you are.
You seen like a great person that doesn’t know why everything’s not going right at the moment. First you have to feel TRULY confident about yourself, you have to know yourself first before you can get to know others. Try and vanquish those negative thoughts day by day and start believing in yourself again. The trick is to believe in yourself.
First things first. Start loving your self again, start feeling good about all in life again, start being grateful for everything you have in life again.
Before you can truly start any of this you have to find yourself where you truly believe in yourself.
Take care of yourself, before you take care of others.

No worries, I don’t like offending people when they’ve done nothing to me! Just being how my Mom raised me.
Okay!
Are your comments more short answers or fairly lengthy. You want to find an equilibrium for the spectrum. Not too short, as it can come across as harsh and slightly uncaring even when you would never intend it to be. Not too long as you come across as the vain one and that you don’t want to dominate the conversation.
You need to keep it long enough that you can draw out a more detailed, personal line from them that will lead to a more animated and lengthy conversation. This you just then continue until the person feels very comfortable around you. I also recommend switching topics, ones that relate to the previous conversation. E.g music > type of bands > genre > other interests. Of course where you both share your likes and dislikes etc.
“I generally don’t feel a whole lot” There’s one of your little hurdles there!
I know what you’re experiencing as I WAS that guy a while back. Some things in life had hit me really hard, where you feel like there isn’t much to life anymore and no-one seems there or seems to get you anymore? Do you ever have doubts like that? You start to feel miserable and you just get blue.
You got to STAMP that feeling away!!! Get rid of it as fast as you can! Just start to bring back your positive outlook on life again! Start small like if the weather nice, be thankful that it is. If you’re doing well in class or got a good grade in a test or assignment,FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT! YOU DESERVE IT! Be thankful that all that effort you put in paid off.
Start with things small, even if the tiniest little things is going right in your day be grateful. If you ever feel down look back on the day to find that tiny thing, trust me even in the darkest hours there’s always something you’re grateful for; it might take a bit of searching but trust me it’s there.
As for the lady front, I’ve got that from time to time but not often. Again if you’re a good conversationalis USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE! If they’re nervous you got to diffuse that feeling from them. Talk about another interest you both have, learn more about each other, tell a joke or people watch and make up stories about them.
Women in my experience are more comfortable with a guy that is confident in themselves and that can make them feel comfortable in any given situation.
As for the confidence. Do YOU feel it in yourself, I mean really feel it where you’re in your zone? This is quite important you really have to believe it otherwise it comes off as unnatural and awkward.
I understand life has been hard on you and will change you into a ‘colder’ person, I went through this too. The trick is TO ALWAYS FIGHT IT! If you allow it to overcome you, you become lost and something that isn’t your true wonderful self.
I think you should concentrate on creating a warm and happy demeanour for yourself. This benefits both you an others as others are drawn to people that are truly comfortable with themselves and have that optimistic, positive and loving way with life.
We got to try and get the kid back into ya!
So what else do you love doing?
Do you like watching football? I’m a Steelers fan myself, however ain’t been keeping up with the football as much as I’d like to.
What sorts of interests do you have? Music? Instruments? Writing? Art?
Also it really helps that you’re up to date with general news, the world around you and with what you enjoy of course.
This creates the impression that you’re a very knowledgeable person that has interests all over the shop. This is another breaker that can lead to a greater discussion. It gives the impression of one that takes an interest in the world around them too, without coming across as a know it all.
Wit and humour. This works very well. It eases the person into a comfort zone. A good conversationalist is always an interesting person, previous mentioned also helps with being witty as you have a pool of knowledge to draw pretty much anything up.

When prices rise like that it is to do with a large group getting together and controlling that item. It is always discussed beforehand on what items the merchants are going to push next. The ones that go solo usual monitor the close trends of items on the TP e.g keep spreadsheets and then gamble.
The reliable ones are your regular materials mainly mid to high. Insignias also work fairly well too. Also ores are very good, such as gold ore ad above. Foodstuffs I do not really have a much experience at. Dyes are also very reliable but due to inflation of the dyes the dyes may become slightly unpredictable.
The advice I can give you is look at items I have suggested and keep a spreadsheet of prices over each day for a few weeks or a month. Once you are confident that prices regularly fluctuate from high to low safely then you can try your hand at flipping.
I myself do not actively flip but was lucky enough to profit from abyss and gold dye flipping.
At first you will be making small profits such as 50s/1g but as funds increase you can create more profit.
As always remember risk/reward and always spend money you can afford to lose.

TP flipping requires close watching. It’s a bit late to capitalise on the dye situations due to the mass bot ban. I took a gamble and got lucky with the rare dyes inflating by 100 to 300%.
The thing is to limit spending, being a scrooge stops those little bits of coin spent from adding up.
Aside from what you’re doing now there’s not much else. The ones that are making a ridiculous amount of money are the ones currently controlling the high end items on the TP.

I have seen these types of threads many times. I assume you have good intentions but many who have gotten their legendary by themselves will see this as begging etc. and will jump you and flame if they see this. There is also the skepticism of how can I be sure that you’ll keep your promise etc., again do not take this personally or as shaming or a personal attack, as I assume you are a person that keeps such promises. This is just a warning about potential flaming, I do not really have a personal view one way or the other.
It is just a fair warning that you might want to consider. I am telling you what you can or can’t do so do not take this as a personal attack.
And yes I do run such a club, just not on this particular game.
Again, Union thanks you

Please don’t do this. This will most likely just lead to you getting flamed.
Asking for help running AC for tears is completely acceptable but asking for donations will get you flamed. As you are initially asking for hand outs where you have not help the kind in anyway shape or form. This will how most will see it and flame you.
There have been many threads like this and it has never ended well. I suggest you rephrase your question about only asking for AC run help.
Hope you understand,

You seem like a great person, so lets try to find the source of all this.
Do you mind divulging how you approach the situation?
What do you feel like at that point in time: Nervous? Excited? Skeptical? Agitated? Figidty? Etc.
What do you talk about?
How do you start the conversation?
What are they like during the conversation?
Body language during conversation both yours and the other person? (Quite difficult unless you actively look for it, however it is a very good skill. Very useful, trust me.
Allows to see where you can take conversations etc. and leave a leasing impression)
Ermmm… This IS really impersonal and quite rude, but are you a male or female?
To me the gender allows me to give more specific advice as it is easier to approach situations in certain ways that would not be as suited to the opposite gender.
I myself am male. I grew up (still growing up) with having a lot more female friends but did have my set of buddies to fall back on when talking about guy stuff. Eventually everything starts merging and all just get together.
Since we’re on about making new friends. (Not about how to date and you know…)
It’s good to get a mix of friends from all sort of genders and backgrounds.
Sorry but I think the last little bit of your sentence may have contributed.
You were discouraged and lost a bit of heart. The thing is you CAN’T give up!
If you began to become secluded at the back, it is quite hard for people to approach you. This just leads to you being on your own little island, as people just see you as ‘the weirdo’ at the back (I’m sure you’re not!). Is that how you felt when you stopped trying a little bit and just kept to yourself?
I’m not sure how it is in America as I’m over the pond.
Also how you perceive yourself does have a big effect on how you portray yourself and how people view yourself. (the subconscious effect of how you perceive yourself can show even if you don’t notice it)
Sorry it’s easier for me to help if I know someone’s habits, mannerisms and attitudes well. I don’t like seeing/hearing people like this when they genuinely seem very good hearted.

People are drawn to honesty, trust and kindness in my experience. I think of myself as more of an introvert, however that doesn’t mean you have t always be the quiet one.
No one else can expect you to be someone you’re not, and nor should you try to.
The best person you can be is you.
2. Confidence. Confidence is a fairly important aspect when it comes to socialising. It allows you to start a friendship without others having to initiate it first.
First of all the road to getting back your confidence is to just be yourself (Ta dah! Rule 1) What sort of a person are you? Are you a very thoughtful, caring person or a witty, funny person? (Don’t be shy to ask your family as it is where you are meet yourself I find) Find out what sort of person you are and play to your strengths! (Don’t tell me you don’t have any, I believe you do!)
Play to your strengths, emphasises on your strengths will naturally enhance your confidence. People are also drawn to a person that are confident IN THEMSELVES but I am not talking about the rowdy confidence, I’m talking about the quiet inner confidence.
3. Know who you are/Believing in yourself
This is another aspect in combination with the quiet confidence, in my experience it can be pretty devastating. To make a lasting friendship the combo is needed. Confidence in you, and a positive outlook on life.
Many people above have given excellent advice, I didn’t cover it as it was already mentioned.
First thing is to have confidence in yourself! More than not it’ll make it easier to find some new friends.
If you got anymore things on your mind please don’t be afraid to ask again.
Hope goes well!

@ Elowin, I have no quarrels if you do leave. It is a place for others to get together for more social interaction. I’m glad you have found this as a good reference poiint and it has been a helpful start for you.
We would all to help you but due to the restriction on guesting it is not possible at this point in time.
I wish you all the best in your endeavours,
Union thanks you

Mesmer tips… Umm… Blurred fury is your best friend.
Get the trait that reduces cool downs by 20% asap if you’re doing for a sword build.
I dunno I’m still experimenting with my own Mesmer. I may know a lot of the classes and theory crafting but nothing beats execution.
May have tips as I level. I can’t decide what to lvl first. Mesmer or Guard….
@Hele I quite like the phantasms and clones. To me it’s the opposite as I think the illusions and stuff make for quite a good deciever theme, where you just get so confused on what’s what. Once I lvl my Guard and Mes gonna be a whole load of fun in dungeons running a different class. Mes will still have my melee preference but with more elegance.
Note : I think my bro took all my gold… And is using it on his alt… No fair!

^ Or you could try dual sword Mesmer? Pretty fun build imo.
You may think it’s a bit quishy but confusions and vulnerability make up for it.

Hahah I was like you. Even though I had at least 2 folks to game with, I also kinda got bored and thought that I’d expand my social interaction.
It took me quite a long time to set up Operation: Union but I’m glad I did.
I don’t know I was like that, I tried to help the first folks that came but it didn’t really work out. It took me 2 tries before I got anywhere.
Maybe your just getting unlucky, don’t give up as there ARE folks that appreciate your efforts how taking your time out helping them.
It takes time, the pve content can be completely soloable so folks don’t see the need to form groups or whatever excluding dungeons.
This community I have to admit is different compared to the old GW1. You just gotta keep at it. There are people with like minds, they’re just taking a while to get there. You just have to keep going.

@Lexy: Hey! It’ll be up eventually. Just my bro got some complications on his project. So he’s gonna be working on that first. He normally works on it in his spare time.
I ain’t no liar!
Brilliant pictures folks!
@All the new folks. Welcome!

@Elowin I’m sorry but I don’t think we suit your desires. This is very much a social/casual guild. Though we do have members all over the place population is sparse in some areas.
I recommend that you seek a more active place for what you are looking for. I feel you’ll have better luck with a guild that is on your server only.
You are welcome to stay but I just feel we cannot really assist you fully in your goals.

The Chosen is the precursor for the Legendary shield, currently around 90g on TP.
It’s acquired by random by placing lvl75+ rares or exotic in the Mystic Forge.
Other items with the same skin is the Winged Shield(???) or something by that name if you are just interested in the skin. (Also a few more items with the same skin)

Dungeons and personal stories are the only way to do game with each other at this point in time.
Guesting is still not implemented in game as said before. Something Union has been waiting patiently for ever since launch.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/OPERATION-UNION-Bringing-Players-Together
Please don’t do this again.
Union thanks you.
