i just got the game about 10 min. ago and i'm installing, im excited about it! :p

The fact that you have to counteract higher level runes with runes of vigor is kind of annoying >_<

[Chad.C]

Just made it to Elonas..

Damn is the mission hard or what...

Everything just seems to want to fight you and you can't avoid them..

[quigley0]

Yes, the latest update has made the game much better.

I have a PvP question: I have a Ranger/Mesmer, but for PvP I primarily use poison and trap skills. Can you make a Good Beastmaster PvP player? I have been training my pet, and he is 18 now. I was thinking of Beastmastery/Expertise/Domination (i am a R/Me)

Use DOM for BackFire and Empathy, while my pet wolf goes after their mages. But, the Wolf just doesn't seem to do enough damage. (No elite skills obtained yet for beastmastery)

Any ideas? I mean, Backfire sure puts the hurtin on thier mages. and I was hoping the Wolf could finish them off...

Maybe when he is lvl 20

(I do like the trapper though.) People get SOOOOOO [edit]mad[/edit] when I put a trap on a dead body :)

Right, i've applied about 3 minor runes of vigor before i figured out you can only use one and i have a major rune of vigor now... what do i do?

can you remove previous runes? or apply over?

What will take priority? The highest?

[piercehead]

you can overwrite one of the minors with the major

it is possible to salvage runes from armour too.

the highest will take priority

[Kerm]

Thanks mate.

/goes off to apply Major Vigor.

[morsmordre]

If you delete the character that created your guild, will the guild be deleted too?

[dud]

Just promote someone else the guild leader before you do it.

This game was a serious dissapointment basically for the following reasons:

Instanced world (defeates the whole point of MMORPG)

I can count the number of game items on one hand.

I can count the number of monsters on my other hand.

Invisibe walls... everywhere.

Level cap of 20, i can get to half that in about 2 days.

Killing monsters for XP is pointless. (Monsters give like 20xp and to lvl you need like 20K)

The zoning is so obvious and segregating.

The patch content is pretty crappy, this is however minor.

Im no newb to MMORPG eigher, i've played more of them extensively then most people even knew existed, and GW isn't up to standards.

your right in a lot of ways, but those reasons also make people like the game over normal MMOs

Your right in your assessment of it being not up to standards as an MMO, but most of the items you have listed exactly the reasons I love it :) I got sick of the daily grind, molestation by higher level (or greater numbers of) players of the opposite faction, and three to six hour instance runs in Warcraft. Now I have multiple characters that are easy to bring to the level cap to enter into PvP battles. The tight paths don't make me happy, but it's the only real gripe I have with the game. I prefer questing for XP to grinding endlessly on mobs.

This game wasn't really designed (as someone mentioned before) to hit higher levels and rape lowbies, as some others are. It was designed so you could become the most skillful PvPer you could be. Nobody else is going to design their character quite like yours, which gives it such a personal feel to each one you create and mold.

By the way: I have a completely unused copy (as in I haven't even registered they key!) of Warcraft I want to trade for a GW account. Let me know if you're interested; I'm serious!

When's that? I've met her after the 7 dragons.

[psybapunk]

I was fairly disappointed with GW, and thinking about reopening my WOW account.

thatd be valid if the game was an MMORPG. It isnt and the developers say it only has simularities to one

mosters increases as you go, although its very diablo ish where each area has set monsters. And I hate phantoms stupid things stopped me getting the bonus mission *mumble grumble*

[fortun2kk]

GW sux get wow

[Nocstar]

I would but i dont have enough time for wow.. I like that fact that i dont have to grind as much in GW and people arent super godly.

[LOC Veteran]

586071424[/snapback]

when you come up to meet her, if you steal one of her eggs, she'll attack you.

[Kerm]

Ahhh, i'm guessing she's pretty nifty?

Yap shes level 30. When I touched one of the eggs she became all angry and I thought that I would have to redo the mission all over again becuase of touching her eggs. But it said it was a bonus mission. I had 7 hench, and me, and we got her to about half health when we all started to get owned, badly and eventually all died. But than she lets you go, "forgives you", and you complete the mission.

[sin-ergy]

Apparently the bonus is easy with just rangers and a few monks. I don't know tho o_O What makes it so hard is that she uses exhaustion on you. Not only do you lose energy but your overall energy goes down as well. By the end of it I only had like maybe 10 Energy points and I couldn't even cast any spells.
