Guild Wars 2

the only one that can actually be sorta helpful is the healer role, but then even the healer would be hurting the party, because thats 1 less person taking the bosses health down. people tanking and healing are bootable offenses imo, run with a guild for this and dont waste my time.

I think ALL heal abilities should be self-only.

Please.

I’m having a heck of a time trying to decide which Server to transfer to from Yak’ s Bend.

Tarnished Coast is ALWAYS full, so I am looking elsewhere, but server forums would allow me to get a little bit of a taste of the server communities and would help make the decision easier.

Plus it would allow the servers to form more of a bond, without the need to create a separate website that the majority of players won’t know about.

Finally got my hands on a 2H Hammer. Kinda diggin’ it.

Wanna switch servers though. Looking for a bit more social interaction. I know i’m still low-level and most everyone is level 80 and whatnot, but I mean c’mon son. I see players running around all the time, and nobody responds to anything except LFM.

Tarnished Coast is always full. so I don’t really know where to go. this forum needs some Server-specific forums so a newbie can get a feel for the community of each server a little bit.

Surname, specifically.

is such a thing possible?

Never been much of a Crafter in MMOs, always been more of a Harvest then Sell kinda player. partially because I can harvest while i am killing stuff, and partially because Crafting in MMOs tends to be pretty dang boring.

is such a thing, pure harvesting really profitable in this game? or do Crafters tend to do their own Harvesting? there any Harvesting goods that are more needed than others?

Is Crafting in this game unique and engaging enough that its really worth me looking into?

just to update this…

I tried a Sylvari for a little bit, but i did not like the Thief Class as much as I thought I would.

so my second character attempt, I made a Charr Guardian.

Charr are awesome. their whole harsh atmosphere, and the “survival of the fittest” vibe from all the Legions is very nice. there is some awesome humor as well (the Legion Soldiers perpetually arguing over whether the Meat is done is one example), and the variety in activities is great, its not all "kill 10 of these and come back(diffusing the Bar Brawl was interesting). wondering why more people don’t play Charr.

kinda liking the Guardian class thus far, but i am only level 8 or so. still wrapping my head around the combat differences from what I am used to, and dying a lot. but it is fun. I keep forgetting that I can do a barrel roll.

I’m on Yak’s Bend for now, but for some reason nobody there talks, maybe its cause everyone is in high level zones or whatever. but the only chatter i’ve seen in the Charr areas are “lfg AC EXP” whatever that means. I guess its a high level dungeon or something.

I guess I’ll look into moving to Tarnished Coast when I can. I’ve yet to see TC less than full. I had read somewhere though, that Stormbluff Isle had a decent RP population. was considering moving there since its not always full. I’m not a hardcore RPer though, its just that from my experience in MMOs, RP servers tend to have the best of kind and friendly/kitten player ratio.

This game does not have one?

been sitting here for 10 minutes typing in every name I can think of, and they are all taken. every single one. every single variation. god this is a popular game lol.

I’m terrible with coming up with original names, thats why I use the game’s random name generator to make my names. but this game apparently does not have a random name generator.

sad panda.

I see. Tarnished Coast is full though, is there a decent secondary option for an Unofficial RP Server?

I see. wondering what server I should play on. guess I’ll just eenie meenie miney moe it.

Hey, game finally finished downloading. Is there a designated “RP” server?

so I can still play quest/storylines from the other races right?

or at least have some interaction with the other major cities, if I so choose?

You can’t play storylines from other races, because a storyline is your character’s personal story which pretty much starts at character creation. What you can do is join someone in an instance of his personal storyline (storyline missions are instanced).

You can go to all cities as soon as your character has left the intro sequence — which only takes a couple of minutes.

but if I go to the other cities, there won’t be anything for me to do there, since I can’t do their questlines? or am I missing something?

Narrowed it down to Charr or Sylvari.

Most popular choice for thief is human.

Thief human female.. with human culture tier 3/ named armor.

I suppose every Thief is running around in a thong and a bra then? bleh.

is Human the overall most populous race?

what is the least?

Hi, I gave in to my urgings and purchased GW2 just now. It’s downloading.

as I read over the Lore and such for the 5 races in the game, while the game downloads, I am looking for some impressions based on experience with playing the races.

which is most/least popular, which has the most interesting lore/characters (no spoilers please), etc. (i am a casual RPer and a Lore Junkie if that helps any)

I’m pretty much set that my first character, regardless of race, is going to be a Shadow-Stepping Thief with dual pistols(or at least a Pistol and a Dagger in the offhand, if thats possible). I liked the Assassin in GW1, and thats what I am shooting for, except with GUNZ.

(incidentally, as with every MMO, there is a supreme abundance of Rogue Types, and no healers right? or are the classes pretty balanced here?)

thanks in advance.
