I beat the "mirror" yesterday :D it took me one try, and probably a bit of luck too. Its a questt you do in the crystal deserts and i have heard many people say its really hard and a friend said it took him 20+ tries to beat it. Well i beat it straight away :D in a very short time. I was on 510 health and in about 5 seconds my opponent and me were on half life, pretty fast. Eventually he bled to death after i used my "sever artery" a few times, but the funny thing is, 3 seconds after he died, i died :laugh: i also bled to death.

@D3ft0ne well the first farming spot i found was at the Beacons Perch, south. I t has some good monsters to fight and sometimes good drops. I first did this with a level 15 warrior/mesmer and 5 henchies. And i got plenty of loot and gold and xp, every mosnter i killed gave around 50+ xp, and i found some good bows with 13-27 dmg, which i would usually sell for around 500 gold and populated cities like ascalon. I becma rich quite fast too :woot: Kryta i heard has good drop by the level 18 Drakes, i tried it a few times and didnt get lucky. The missions at crystal deserts are quite good for loot. I found a dragon sword and a purple stats bow and a purple sword on some of the the missions. I havent really found any other good farming spots yet, its all luck, Hydras can be good for loot sometimes. Come with me sometime if ya want i will show u the beacons perch farming spot. I sometimes go on raids with henchies killing everything i see and get some useful things but i am not in the part of the game where very good drops occur yet.

I wonder what the purpose of the gold storage could be. Its not like Diablo 2 where you lose gold when you die. Unless if people want to carry it over to PvP characters.

Its about time they changed the linen squares thing. I spent 3 plat to get like 10 squares of linen because it was so scarce.

PvP characters can't buy or trade items so gold isn't of use to them.

It's just to be able to more easily transfer gold from one PvE character to another.

The weird thing is, there is a storage area at the HoH. I guess she is there for people who make it there with their PvE character. I am slow and discovered last night that you can fight with PvP and PvE characters in a PvP game.

I don't understand the PvP and PvE things? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?

As far as I can see these people are very good, every complaint i've seen on this board is already being adresses. If customer support carries on like this i'm going to end up loving the game creators :$

PvP characters are super powerful, but you can only use them in Player vs Player areas, can't do missions

PvE charasters start from level 1, and you gain skill while you do missions and quest. you gain loot, sell it, but new armor (or make)

As an RP character you can make it to the arena where the lvl 20 pvp guys are and they are not that much more powerful... Better gear maybe.. But impossible no, I won at least 13 rounds until we finally got defeated. My team was awesome.

This is minorly guild wars related: My Xfire thing isn't showing how much gaming I've done. Will it only show when I play at least an hour of a game, or do I need to play the game online or what?

Says I havn't played any games but today I've played Doom3 and NFSU2.

I wan't it working by tomorrow as I want to count my Guild Wars time.

You need to online in xfire. Also go to Tools > Find Installed Software. Then when it find something, click the game name and then click the install path bellow. Then click Apply. You have to do that for each game. Then after you run the game minimize it and check if the status says you're playing it.

Also the stats are not updated instantly, its done once a hour or so on the Xfire servers.

thats probably becuse of experience,

and PVP characters people sometimes make then just to try it out, and they don't know how to use all the new skills

It did all that automatically, I think it wa sjust the need for the servers to refresh as it says less than 1 hour now. Thanks for the help.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
