I've have two characters that are on level 20 and they both took me around 30-40 hours to get to that level....maybe I am just slow.

Just have some good level 20 buddies power you to Ascension.

I had a guy invite my alt monk to his guild...he said he had an alt that was a level 33 mesmer. :rofl:

Don't have any 20s yet, but I know people that do it.

I'm fairly sure your mirror is always lvl 20. You just have to use cheeky tactics with what you put on your skills bar.

For example if your a Ranger, load it up with Nature Rituals which they'll cast (5 second cast each :) ) and benefit you too, and while they're doing that just pump them full of Point Blank Shot etc...

And don't take healing either generally, cause they'll use it too.

Edit: I agree with jmole. Also I've noticed these lowbies who'll join a group for missions when they're lvl 4 (and everyone else is lvl 10+), play for 5 seconds then hide, so they get to the next area without having to do anything!! Don't let these people join your group!!!

What is the fun of the game if you have people run through all the areas for you and completing the missions. I have 100 members in my guild and we don't do that because the other members would never learn how the game works if they don't find out the hard way. Plus they would suck in GvG and HoH fights without the experience of getting through the game.
what kind of skills do you have at level 6. :\

If you've been rushed to Ascension, you'll have been past most Skill trainers, so any non-elite's fairly easy to come by.

Edit: but I do NOT suggest rushing to Ascension if it's your first character!

yea not my first char. 2nd.

so im suppose to buy skills before i fight mirror? or isnt there a way jus past him??

anyways going to fight mirror im lvl 6 with 100hp :\

doubt skills will have any effect? i die anyways

People have done it at lvl 4. Hit points isn't the point- if they're busy casting stuff while you're killing them, they should be near dead before they start attacking you. Or you give em skills that you know won't have any effect on you, like- there's an Ele skill which makes the enemy move slower, but gives them immunity to everything except lightning for up to 15 seconds. If you don't give him Air magic, then you're laughing :)....

No there isn't any other way past him :)

If you think you'll die just spend a few more hours and actually level up.

By the way, I know I need to kill certain mobs for elite skills, but do they come as a drop, or is there something special I have to do?  (I've got no elite skills yet).

You get elite skills by finding the "boss" monsters and using signets of capture on them when they're using that skill. That's the only way to get them.

New Updates are coming.

Check them out here:

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

Increased reward for quest "The Villainy of Galrath" from 500 XP to 4000 XP.

If I knew they were making that change, I would have waited..That quest was far from easier and worth more then a mesly 500xp.

That "running back to the mobs that wiped us going straight through mountains" business was annoying. Also, did you see that now it's easier to use the Signet of Capture? Just bought two last night and I'm determined to go find some Mesmer and Monk mobs.

And the "Villainy" quest in Black Curtain (or dark curtain?) is worth 4,000 xp. my wife and I are gathering a group for it tonight.

When are they likely to increase the level limit?

probably with the release of expansions, alot of online rpg's will up the level cap along with adding content when making expansions, so that players that are already at the end of the game (basically) and at the level cap, will have something to move onto instead of having to do lower level stuff

There is nothing wrong with the level cap. Raising it would just defeat the whole purpose of the game, which is focusing more on skills and how you use them rather then who has the highlest level character and how they can rape lower level characters.

In regards to the recent game update, those rune and rare materials traders are clutch. Now we don't have to pay over inflated prices for items. The only thing I think the game needs now is auction house.

Hmm... hopefully collectors edition buyers will get some benefit again with expansion stuff... and I'm really hoping they won't price it too high... they should make it free :p

I agree, I just hit lvl 20 but still in the Wilds Zone, I am evolving my stragety (switched from pure fire mage to actually chosing choice Me skills as part of my sub) to meet the the challanges of >lvl 20 creatures, work on upgrading equipment / armor and farming for resouces for money / future armor upgrades. This forces people to play smarter and if you don't evolve go online and read up on class combo's and skill choices.

    • 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 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.
