My question:

How do you get the Divine Aura to work because I have never seen it in action! I have got collecotrs by the way :)

Oh and you might as well post about your character!

I have no idea what Divine Aura is nor have I heard of it. What class is it, Messemer?

All I have to say is I am so dead tired today after last night trying to get through the ashes quest in the fire temple. That was toughest mission I have been on so far. I had three members from my guild that were level 10+ with me (Two warriors and two elementalists) and we died 10-15 times trying to beat it. The worst part was when we almost reached the top of the temple one of my party members warped out of the area by mistake dragging us all with him. When we came back all the enemies in the temple were back.

I am trying to do every quest in Ascalon post-seer because I do not want to make the same mistake I made with Ascalon pre-seer.

Divine aura is always on if you purchase the collector's edition of guilds wars only. It's tied to the col ed key just like the pre-item keys (you can add more then one).

It provides no in game benfit other then you glow for paying $80 US.

(edit) you do get audio cd soundtrack and the logitech head phones / mic for team spec or anything else you want it for and a killer art book (hard bound).

I higly recomend millking pre-scaring with as many quests as possible as well as bulding up a good amount of good and crafting materials (at least so you can upgrade some of your armor after you get post-scaring)

Lvl 7 Mesmer/Necro. I have a pic of her in the other thread somewhere.

There should be some type of a confirmation when a party member tries to leave a quest area. That is REALLY annoying!!

On another note, that divine aura is a ripoff. You can barely notice it as only your hands glow from what I've seen. It's not really a glow either. It looks like little sprinkles coming outta your hands.

Level 3 Warrior/Elementalist.

I just bought the game today and so far I'm loving every moment of it.

Could anyone please explain to me the pre-seering (sp?). I'n not sure where to go from getting my secondary profession.

I will try not to ruin anything here. After you take the training academy mission and complete it, the one where the guy in the game by the town gates says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE DONE EVERYTHING", that is when the seering will occur. Until then you will only be able to do things with people in pre-seering Ascalon.

To get a secondary profession you need to look for the trainers throughout the world. The trainer will give you a mission to complete and after you complete it you will get that as your secondary profession. For example my secondary profession is a monk and I had to talk to the monk at the monastary to get it after completing a mission in the catecombs.

Anyone wanna do Althea's Ashes?? Its impossible for me to finish. Always getting ganged

One time was enough! :D

This is weird, I am reading GameSpy's initial reaction to the game, Link. First they said they had installation problems both downloading the client and installing the PC version. My installation could not have gone any smoother then it did. Then they said it took 15 minutes to download the first area and was taking up to 3 minutes when they go to other areas. What kind internet connection are they using?! It takes me one second to load up a single area. I never had a PC game load levels faster then this with this visual quality before. I am convinced they must be using a old computer from like 10 years ago to run this with a 14.4kbs modem with a 4 RAM video card.

this game is, well, just like perty much every other mmo, except the skills have difernt names, and has some difernt classes, but gameplay is perty much the same.

although, the fact that every zone is instanced is cool.

should hold me over till DDO comes out.

as a side note, the chick in TonicX's sig is fine

anyone know how long the game actually is? or does it even end? curious.

also, why do the merchants ALL sell the exact same things?!?! which is nothing other than salvage/ident kits and some other misc junk. I never seen any of them sell any weapons. Can you even BUY weapons in this game? Am i missing something here?

what are you supposed to do with Gwen when she follows you? I got her a flute and a cape already but I think there might be more to this character?

They say when you die your health/energy is supposed to go down but I haven't noticed it changing when I die.

If you are in pre-seer Ascalon then the merchants have identical items. In post-seer Ascalon the merchants around the world have different items. There are also armorers and weapon smiths throughout the world. Juding from your comments I am guessing that you are still in the first part of the game. Until you get to post-seer Ascalon you will not be able to upgrade your weapons/armor, which require the materials you pick up after defeating enemies. I forget if the death penalty takes effect in pre-seer Ascalon, but in post-seer if you die you will lose morale and your health and mana will suffer. It is a pain in the A.

Juding from the size of the world map, and that it took me close to 1.5 hours to get through one damn exceptionally hard quest last night, I am going to say this game is going to take months to get through.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
