Guild Wars 2

AdaephonDelat.3890:

I also got bored with doing all the hearts etc. so this is what I did when I was levelling my newest Asura -

Starting in Metrica (around level 20 or so) I decided I wanted to go to Wayfarers Foothills as I’d not been there. Instead of just hopping the City portals to Hoelbrak and out, I ran there. Along the way I’d grab waypoints/vistas/skill points as I felt like it. Any event I came along I’d do (sometimes going out of my way if I saw one I wanted to hit).

For me this made exploration a bit more fun, unlocked waypoints and skill points across the world, and boosted my levels. Then at level 30 or so I usually hit a few dungeons, catch up on some story and carry on with higher level maps.

So pick a starting location, then pick a destination that can be reached through level appropriate maps and run there (preferably taking the scenic route). Also as you’re level 34 you can do Ascalonian Catacombs Story mode (the first dungeon). This will give you around 3/4 of a level of XP upon completion.

I tried that once with a low level (around 15 or so) running through a lvl 50 area…bad idea…LMAO
Got downed faster then you can say ’ kitten " XD

Oh oh oh those fantastic Brits… XD (no sarcasm here )

Crafting is not hard at all!! In fact, it helps you raise your levels a bit. You might consider using a guide to get to 400 craft level (gains you about 7 player levels if I recall correctly)

yes, exploring can be boring..but neccessary for different reasons (not all applicable to all players ). It makes you grow in level easily and fast. All hearts, poi, wp and vista’s provide you with XP. Also, harvesting, cutting and mining along the way not only grants some XP, but also provides you with materials needed for crafting (hey..the circle is round again )

LFG to help carry my huuuuge heavy twilight sword…price is negotiable… XD
#trollmode

But seriously..use the appropriate tool for the corresponding actions…or get burned

Azrael.4960:

There was another player who passed away last year and a similar thread was created. I suggested this then and suggest it again now.

I think it would be really great if Anet could somehow create an adventurer’s cemetery, something like the big one in Divinity’s Reach or the gully of cairns in Hoelbrak. Or perhaps in the upcoming Guild halls update, a memorial could be created so that players would remember those who have passed away IRL.

SO MUCH THIS!!!! <3 :’)

OhHaYoung.8057:

I will add you when I reach home!! I can’t remember my region!

You do not know where you live??? WHAAAHAHAHAHA XD

Kogasa Tatara.1409:

Hi there. I am Kogasa, Kogasa Tatara, Tatara Kogasa, and Kyouko Kasodani, Thief, Engineer, Ranger, and Warrior, in that order. This account runs on NA, Sorrow’s Furnace, but obviously with megaserver nothing matters that much really. I already run people through AC Story and P1/P3 on daily basis (Whenever I have time, really.), so I have some experience teaching not-completely-newbies on how to play. I am more than happy to help out newbies, showing them the rope in all types of format, however! My timezone’s West Coast (PST), in case that matters for anyone. I currently have a lot of time, though that may chance anytime, but… Well, ring me up! If I am around, I’ll try my best to help you.

The best thing you can do, if you need to reach me, is to send an in-game mail and add me to your friend list (Press Y, type in Kogasa). When I see the mail, I’ll add you back immediately.

Even Megaserver cannot bring NA and EU together mate..sorry…wish it could

deSade.9437:

“bearbow only”
“fashion elitists only”
“zergburgers only”

and… the one that started it all.

P.S. I’m getting owned by 2 banshees in ME q.q not ready for l33t hardmode yet. Why can I hit people with swords and bows but I suck with guns and rifles?

Cuz you’re a pacifist and don’t like guns? :P

VOLTCIEAGE.3029:

PVE is just broken blame devs not players because they can`t fix pve for over a year , stacking in corners rules !!!!!!! you should be happy that you are not engi . ranger can take gs , spoter+spirit and has META BUILD necro also but engi is crap when you look at his dps .

Imbued Shaman and cornering…I would really see you do that :P

penelopehannibal.8947:

glock.6590:

According to recent PvP thread:

Tier S ( overpowered ) : Ele , engi
Tier A: warrior, thief , necro
Tier B: mesmer, guard , ranger

SAB Confirmed!

(Sorry was a bit off-topic but couldn’t resist!)

I see what you did there….you, sir, are a genius! bows

naiasonod.9265:

Lets make dungeons flight simulators and we can all ride charrcopters around and pewpewpew at enemies. They can use the Super Adventure Box graphic style!

…That might actually be fun. Nevermind.

+1 XD

I roamed these lands once

Then I met a really very healthy centaur warrior

His name was ViTamini..

I threw money to my screen the second I saw the trailer…you might consider that a “yes” :P

Except from people from different areas that is…(no possibility to play with NA players if you are from EU and vice versa.. :/ )

Good guild..been looking for that

Have been a coach in my former guild, so yes. count me in!
I am on EU server, Seafarers rest

edit:
It made me think..we have Commander tags right? Why not create something similar like “coach” tags? (bandanna for example) This way new players can find players who are dedicated to help new ones out
Of course, we have a very helpful community, but you do not Always have the opportunity to help out..a “coach” tag could show you are available for help

Idea?

And also..if you are planning for legendary weapons, you will need the gift of exploration which is granted as you achieve 100% world completion.

Sidenote:
There is an completion achievement which you can reach for exploring all of the areas present…this is however a different completion then the world completion.

Gonna be a longbow thief…pewpew shadow strike XD

I peed myself a bit when i received word today…looking forward to it

Are you an EU player or an NA player?

Galphar.3901:

Easiest thing for A-Net to do is make “totally” dead players not count. Once someone is res’d, then they are added back into the mix.

I think too this might be the most smart suggestion. Dead people should be turned into “non existing” for the specific area of the map they are laying in. Only problem is that a dead player is still an object code wise..dunno how to solve this, probably with some “if” statement on player status ?

Food for thought on people who actually have programmer skills

Release date? [warning..TROLL alert XD]
Seriously, mine was seeing my former guild deteriorate by the cause of fun players leaving it…never had a good laugh again..so I left too

Thank you so much for your time and efforts Thaddeus! Will sure be a nice baseline to start from besides the youtubes I have atm
:)

Overall…oooooh the things you are allowed to learn are massive
Wish you luck and fun

hahaha you understood me a little wrong. I was suggesting not to ONLY get my learning experience from online media but also to have some fellow players who are willing to coach me during a real PvP round. As said, i am a practical learner.
Right now I am studying this: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Guardian_-_Altruistic_Healing_Bunker

If I go into an arena with just theory..I get wasted in minus 2,56 seconds I fear :P

Although I understand this technically..It still makes me sad not be able to play wth both NA and EU friends at the same spot… :/

Ah well..#firstworldproblems XD

I feel a job offer coming

Fantastic and very passionate job mate!

Thanks so far Thaddeus, appreciated

Beldin.5498:

At level 50+ Dredgehaunt cliffs are great for killing yellow mobs. You can really run
a big circle around the zone where you constantly have spots with dolyaks, moas
and other yellow mobs, and when you have completed the route the first mobs
again have nearly full bonus exp.

With 100% birthday booster, killstreak booster and food i make around 4 levels there
per hour i think.

They are back to full XP bonus that fast? Show me the route pleaze?

Harry Foud.1935:

PLEASE after completing the world map with at least 1 character make it payable or something for eth next characters. Doing every map again and again makes you feel very tired. Please do something about it.

Completing is neccessary if you intend to craft a Legendary weapon. Depending on how much you want to craft, I’d say you need more completion. If you don’t planning on craft a Legendary at all..why bother?

Maximus Delion.8719:

Trying to rally while solo and under fire is pretty much a fruitless endeavor, unless your foe is within an inch of his life too and you manage to pull off last second kill.

I can relate. When I was trying to rally in that mission, with the boss constantly interrupting me, Rox yelled, “try using this…” and threw the Sacred Flame right on top of me. Meanwhile Braham yells “Boooooss!” and casts his protection bubble all the way on the other side of the area. Thanks guys, that really helped. :-P Get your behinds down here and rally me, you fools!

Makes you wonder what the “I” in AI stands for, right? XD

I replied to a post called “why don’t you like PvP” on the general forum.
My reply was
“Cuz I suck at it..really..I do… I can be overrun by a player controlled Dolyak. "

It made me think and therefore post this request. Which patient soul is willing to guide me throught the concepts of playing PvP?
And I mean:
- Build for guardian (which I am planning to use) and its use
- Strategies
- gear setup
-etc.

I am a active learner (meaning i do not remember theory very well but need to repeat actions myself over and over to learn). Maybe first start with one on one maybe ?

I dont feel reading or watching youtubes are adding to my skills..I prefer learning on the fly..dont bother pointing me into that direction :P

Add me ingame if you are the noble soul up to the challenge

I am on Seafarer’s Rest Server and Europe based

Cuz I suck at it..really..I do… I can be overrun by a player controlled Dolyak.
#stilllearning
#whowantstohelpmeout?

goes to players supporting players forums now

A hint..if you have these boosters, go and kill the so-called “yellow” mobs. Especially in not common places. They give an exp boost you wont believe! I level the most with those and they give as much as triple or sixtuple the times of the base XP as a bonus (i.e. a normal XP of 200 gives an extra amount of 600 – 1200)

Maybe a ranger for world completion?

The more experienced players get, the more they seem to forget they all had to learn sometime

I am curious about your Siege instruction vid, would you mind posting it or send me a pm?

Actually last week I had the opposite of a double standard as describe above..
I was with a new character getting the Obsidian JP at level 40 or smt. Upon entering, I got blasted immediately by a enemy player.
Imagine my big surprise receiving a whisper when I was trying to get up from downed state again, stating "sorry dude..didnt see you were upscaled that much ? What is a low level doing here? "

I replied that I was gonna try the JP and he guided me instead of making my life miserable at the end.

So, a double standard can be positive..instead of staying in role and kill the enemy, understand the purpose of being somewhere from a player’s perspective andhelp out.
best encounter ever

Best ever way to show “you’re screwed.thanks for entertaining us for the full 15 seconds” XD

Markus.9084:

Novuake.2691:

The players are not in the wrong, ANET needs to fix this.

Both Anet and players are guilty.
It’s obviously an exploit, and players shouldn’t use it.

Imagine : You find a secret path which allows you to go inside a Bank. And then you rob it. Would you say : “Hey, it’s the bank’s fault ! They didn’t see there were a hole in their walls !”

I wouldnt say anything but take a run for it …XD

Thanathos.2063:

But as already stated, you’re not allowed to create 2 actions with 1 key/mouseclick.

Thats what I am thinking about…
I assume the OP means that there are 2 keyboards and 2 mouses, each operating separately on a sole VM client..am I correct ?
If thats the case, then there should be no problem.

Living Story part 359…The Growth of the Asura :P

Alchymista.8192:

CPU
any intel quadcore / i5 is enough //for example i5-2500 shoudl be cheap
amd fx6300 should be enough too

ram
8gb //more is useless, less is not enough

gpu
the best u can get // i was playing on gt560 and got 60fps in pve on mostly highest settings

One thing you didn’t mention..you need a 64 bits OS for that

Welcome! And don’t let anyone fool you
Play with whatever you like as long as you enjoy the game thouroughly

Guardian of Angels.9867:

metaldude.4132:

Playing with other players in a group demands some basic understanding and willingness to step away from your regular play style and build and change your armor/weapons/skills for the greater good of the group you are playing with. But if you like solo playing, do whatever feels right!

Sorry, but what a load of bull…

He can play whatever he likes, wherever he likes with people that want to do the same!
He doesn’t have to change anything for the “greater good”.

It might take a bit longer, that’s all…

Exactly true and my opinion too…but! Reality IS however that lots of parties set requirements for running dungeons/fractals…whether you agree or not

And about being bull..if you read all of my post, I stated that he, in fact SHOULD play as he likes..no need to give in on prerequisities other players demand..its a free Tyria…ish

I think it is against Terms of Service to do that at the same time…not sure. I know people who do that, but they are playing alone and different clients separately by themselves.

Seal.5964:

10/10!
-bro fist-

LOL
Tonight I am rolling a new guardian again

exp.3178:

For the better sake of everyone we could hold them back in one map so the rest of us is safe. Better put everbody who has a Sylvari as toon in one map. In fact best would be put everone who ever played together with a Sylvari in open world or personal story in one map, because we cann’t trust them anymore.

They did something like this about 75 years ago too..somewhere in Poland/Germany… XD

Tom Gore.4035:

According to the laws of Karma your house will burn down.

On a more serious note, congratulations

+1

The rulez are very clear about this..“the player who will have an impossible insane amount of luck regarding the aquiring of an precursor will be severily punished by the other players”
I would seriously consider not to go for PvP or WvW…
LOL

Gratz mate, happy for ya!

Seal, you are telling the same as I do, only you go in detail whereas I point the OP to those sites.. So exactly on what do you disagree ? XD
Meta’s are there for a reason..to inform players from an baseline experience. But my second paragraph (and also my opinion in this) is to choose your own path.
Reality however is that in group events, you are always requested a certain gear and skill set to have the most group efficiency; which is utterly BS, cuz player experience and skills are even if not more important…whats the use of Sword/Focus and Staff if you do not know how to use it hahaha
