[PC] Guild Wars (+ Factions)

Hey guys, good to be back. I see everyone's getting ready for Factions. After seeing the trailer for it, I'm pretty excited for it as well. Can't wait to play an assassin. I had one during the beta event, but since i don't PvP alot, I didn't have any faction to unlock skills beyond what the template build. I'm usually around so look me up on my characters. I'm currently working on my monk so gimmie a holla if you need some help with anything =).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The strike is still going on? I thought it was over already. Last few times i went by THK, I didn't see anything other than groups forming for the mission. Honestly though, the mission is pretty easy if you know what you're doing. Why some people have so much trouble with the mission I can't imagine. Now, Defend North Kryta Province...now THAT quest is challenging. =d

Most amazing jew boots

Same here...but now my monk is at Amnoon now so maybe we'll meet up since everyone seems to be hanging around the desert. =p

Most amazing jew boots

Eh, not really. They don't really cost too much now-a-days. 30k at the most. However, I can understand 30k can be a bit much especially since you have to start over from scratch. I'm sorry that had to happen, I feel for ya. =(

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Funny enough, I don't like to be ran unless I'm using a mage character. I had gotten my monk ran to all the outposts in the desert area because using henchmen is a pain. It'll probably be the same thing with my mesmer once I get him out of Pre-Searing. However, as far as low-level areas, I don't mind fighting all the mobs. It gives my character more exp, and it gives me a chance to break him/her in. As of right now, I can't really do anything because my video card is fubared, =\. So until that's fixed, I can't help anyone.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh nice, new armor for Factions. Taken from GWOnline forums:

Warrior:

Female


Male


Ranger

Female


Male


Elementalist

Female


Male


Mesmer

Female


Male


Necromancer

Female


Male


Monk

Female


Male


So what do you guys think? I see potential in the Berserker Armor and Legionniar's, however Sentinel's is pretty hefty to get the full 100 armor. My warrior hardly uses strength, let alone 13 of it. The ranger armor could be useful as well. Not sure what sets of armor to get rid of to make room for these new armors. This'll be a problem. =o

How ya doing, buddy?

I've been following up on what happened and basicly something happened to the gaming server that caused the traders to reset the values of all runes and items. People saw this and took advantage, causing the most popular of the runes and rare crafting materials to sell out. In a nut shell, the economy went to hell in a hand-basket. In order to correct it, A-Net rolled back the state of the game to right before the error happened. Everything that was bought will be put back on the shelves, prices will return to normal, gold spend is refunded, and any kick ass drops that one had gotten in the time period will be lost. =\

FELIPE NO

Basicly. Merchants would be the NPCs to buy salvaging kits and the like from while vendors/traders are where you can buy runes, crafting materials, and dyes from.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Woo! That was pretty awsome. If I must recommend something about Factions is that the Alliance battles kick so much arse. 12 on 12 free for all, I was on the Luxon side and we won 502-310. It was great being able to use my warrior from Tyria to aid their struggle ^_^.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whew...took a while, but I got my Luxon 15k, along with a new pet :biggrin: .



There's nowhere I can't reach.

That is a phoenix. You can grab one after you finish the last mission. =)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ah....I shouldn't give a way spoiliers =p. Let's just say either way you go, it'll be the same ending.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sucks to be that kid. =p

I was speaking idiomatically.

I havn't experenced a lot of disconnects, just massive amounts of lag. The worse are the House zu Heltzer, Cavalon, Kaineng Center, Breaker Hollow, and Brauer Academy. The House is just unbelievably laggy, I can't move 3 feet without experiencing lag, nor leave the area without taking more than 2 minutes. x_x;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What is the allegance of your guild? Me and my friends are looking to either join an alliance or recrute more into our guild. We're allined with the Kurzicks so let me know if your guild is interested in forming an alliance.

FELIPE NO

Hehe, so I take you guys havn't gotten far enough to reach the Kurzick territories yet right? I'll be on all day tomorrow so let me know if you guys are still interested in the alliance. We joined up with another guild of pretty cool guys, we have Team Speak and whatnot so let me know what's up. =)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ah I see, I'm not 100% sure you can change sides once you've chosen, but it's alright. Maybe we'll be seeing eachother on the battlefield =p. Outside that, I'm always avalible to help with PvE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, W/Mo is a good starting combo. Nice self-heals and playing a warrior doesn't require too much difficulty, just becareful with how you play, you're not invicible. Most W/Mo's in the game seem to have that in their heads >_>;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well...I would say it's a question of weither you want to learn how to play the game vs power leveling and jumping straight into the game. Granted Factions and Prophicies do have their tutorial areas, it's just with Prophicies, the learning curve of the game is more friendly to the new players; plus the quests yeild free skills (provided you don't get run through the game as Bishop mentioned.) Factions however works differently: true there is a step by step tutorial on how to play the game, but the learning curve is too sharp and new players that don't know the feeling of the game will get put in high level areas early and with little experience on how to handle those areas. Most quests don't give you free skills, but instead, high amounts of experience points. So the choice is this: Prophicies offers free skills with quests, takes longer to level up, more friendly to new players; Factions offers high experience quests, more friendly to experienced players, and a quicker run into the higher level areas of the game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
