Guild Wars 2

I named my asura “Zshar” because I was sick of staring at the blank character name line for 40 minutes….

Yeah, I know exactly where you’re coming from.

Only problem is, I’m a noob and haven’t got any good armor yet TO dye nicely :P
All I would suggest is using colors that compliment each other, without completely matching, if you know what I mean. Or you could pick 2-3 colors and stick to them.

Me and my husband just started playing back in October, took a long break, and now we’re back and still noobs. For us it’s:

1.) Our own storyline. We like to be able to level our character and have a backstory the whole time to go along with it. This is nice because we just finished the last walking dead (game) episode, and this feels similar in that our choices reflect our personalities.

2.) For me especially (after having had previous wow addiction), the game is fun enough to keep us occupied and wanting to do things, but not to the point of total, forget-I-even-had-a-life-before-this, addiction. It’s nice because we can be casual, still get whatever we want done in daily life, and then sit and play a while without feeling like we’re falling behind because we don’t play as much as others, don’t have the amount of gear they have, etc. Maybe it’s not a problem for my husband, but for me I definitely don’t need another wow repeat. I want to love the game, not live it.

3.) When they say account wide, they really MEAN “account wide”. Talking about wow again here. Since I’m new, I just asked some people earlier about whether or not my achievement progress is shared among all characters. I was happy when they said it was. You see, on wow stuff is “account wide”, but then some stuff such as your bank isn’t, and then you have to farm all the stuff individually on each character. It’s not good when you just want to immerse yourself in one character’s story but not feel like you don’t have any real progression because all that ore you mined was on another character. The reason I asked specifically about achieves was that on wow, say you have 45/50 kills on one character, but you log into another and it shows 0/50. You have to earn the achieve before it’s shared with all characters.

All in all, since I’m one of the people who left wow eventually, I didn’t enjoy it much. That means I appreciate guild wars so much more because of their unique (to me) take on the game. Like I said though, I’m a noob so I know almost nothing about the game, but this is just what I enjoy.

ISSUE RESOLVED.

Sorry about that, I browsed for a trading post section earlier when I posted this but I missed it. Anyway, it WAS an antivirus after all. Avast set it to allow guildwars but block all ports except one. Avast has changed since I last had it, so the setting to enable it again was hard to find. I’m still not sure why my husband’s works and mine did not, as we use the same antivirus program and just bought it yesterday, so presumably all the features were the same.

Regardless, fixed now.

I think it’s a patch issue – my husband and I have it happen to us a lot, and I’ve read posts from others saying the same.

Hey, I’m new around here so maybe I’m doing something wrong, but whenever I open up trading post or visit one in a town, nothing shows up. Once in a while, I’ll get the loading circle, but then nothing will appear? I’m not sure what do to about it; I’ve googled the issue which has brought me back to threads created here (and I’m not sure if posting in them would be necroing so I made my own), but every step in each thread has not fixed my problem? My husband also plays at his computer which is right beside mine, and he has never had an issue opening up trading post? We use the same firewall settings, so I doubt it is a firewall thing.

If anyone can offer some idea as to how I can fix this, I’d be grateful.
