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?

Edit: http://www.guildwars.com/news/gameupdates.html

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.

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.

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
