I’m sure many people made money off of me from this.
I was on the trading post trying to purchase some exotic armor today. Each purchase attempt resulted in an error message that the item I was trying to buy wasn’t available. I logged in a few minutes ago and discovered I am now the owner of 7 chest pieces, 9 leg pieces, and 1 head piece. I never received confirmation for any of those trades. That is 6 more chest and 8 more leg pieces than I wanted. I’m feeling rather poor and duped at the moment.
Wish the checkpoint had been in effect when I was there. The fix is much appreciated.
I bankrupted my thief on repair costs at level 10, same thing at level 12, took her up to level 15 while getting more coin, died a whole lot more, and finally succeeded. How? By only using 4 skills every time they became available – auto-attack, Black Powder, healing, and praying to Kormir. One time the cooldown timing worked to success. Every other time I couldn’t get her below 30% without dying, teleporting outside to heal, and starting over again. My favorite GW1 professions were monk and assassin. While guardian is like my smiting monk on steroids, the thief is a big disappointment.
Maybe I’m naive but I just don’t see the average casual player reading a guide to their class or posting on a forum. And, perhaps my naivety again, I don’t think they should have to do those things to get through the game.
The only time I was rezzed by an NPC was Bad Blood. It couldn’t have been because the other NPCs were in combat because the typical flow seems to be me running to meet the NPCs, dialogue initiating, and them standing safely out of the way until the mob either slips past me or downs me and then kills them. I wasn’t aware NPCs were supposed to join the fights until I started a human, and even then my NPC allies aren’t exactly helpful.
If that Sylvari’s supposed to be my mentor, I hate her now. Go walk across a windy chasm while I fly myself there. Climb some walls while I stand around and discuss my incompetence. Jump through a ring of fire. Walk on some spikes while I offer encouragement.
Finally made it across the bridge. I just want to know one thing:
Why, if the wind is coming from the left side, does my character get blown to the left?
I could not agree more with the 2 posts above me. My Asura gets blown away while standing at the wall watching flags. In addition, these flags are just out of her field of vision, which means I lose time rotating the camera between flag and narrow path I don’t want to run off of.
I spent an hour getting blown away, rallying, running back, getting blown away while hugging a wall, rallying, running back, running on “faith” to watch the flag, falling down, rallying, running back, getting blown to a ledge with a wall, getting blown off that, rallying, running back, ad infinitem. My favorite character is dead in the water.
This is horrendous. As a little Asura, I spend so much time moving the camera to see the flag and then see where I’m running that I can’t get the timing right. Not that it seems to matter because I can be next to the wall and still get blown away. We know Asura are intelligent. If we’re that light, why aren’t we rigging ourselves a parachute to aid in this process?
