Any tips for me and CoolerUk on starting our guild?

Not done any Pvp really, and would like to start.

We have guild+cape+hall etc.

Just need members. But then we're not really sure what to do... :)

Cheers, lol.

Get some more members so you're eight men and then build a nice team, like 3 monks, 2 AoE dmg dealers, 1 warrior, 1 necro, 1 mesmer (make your own build). Then do some runs in the Tombs to get a feel of PVP and then do finally GvGs :D

Good luck!

I just bought this game...looking for tips on character creation?

Any classes I should stay away from?

I generally like caster classes, priest or mage type guys, any suggestions?

Thanks :)

Rangers and necros seem to be the least desirable of primary classes (from what I've seen) in groups; they make better secondaries. If you want to be a bow user, you can be just as good with a bow without taking ranger as a primary.

Mesmers are great PvPers, and awesome for shutting down enemy monks/casters in RP or PvP.

There are a jillion warriors, most of which are Warrior/Monks. Good soloing class (as is Monk/Warrior with the right build), but there's never a shortage.

If you want to be a bow user, you can be just as good with a bow without taking ranger as a primary.

Just to clear this up- you will be much better with a bow if you're a Ranger primary, as all the skills are cheaper with Expertise (Ranger-only attribute) so you can pump out special bow-shots near-continuously. And don't neglect the Necros either!

Ok, so I havn't played in months..Almost 4..

I log on and its changed so much in player dynamics...Less people are actually doing the missions properly and are now paying people to do missions for them, same with hired runners to get you places..

Is it just me or have people seriously, just made the games worse. No one tries anymore..Its all about getting ascended quick with little effort..Maybe its just me, maybe I'm tired..

Lets hope the Guild Wars I came to love doesn't end up ruined..

The people paying folks to do their missions are usually the ones that got bored with doing it themselves (they're on their 4th level 20 or something).

And you're right, it could ruin the game.

Here's my idea: they need to give you a chance to transfer all your XP to a new character, then just go buy your new skills or capture them (transfer price being, say, 15-20 plat). I think it would save people boredom, and would siphon money out of the economy instead of giving it back to players that hoard it, which would have a positive effect on the game, driving down ridiculous prices.

Yes there are many runners for hire nowadays, most peeps who pay for them just want to rush their char and get all the skills&elites as quick as possible, like me, i dont mind paying them 250g ? 500g for a small run or 2k for a droknars run, i got enough money for that. As of now i?m rushing my ele and ranger real quick for pvp/hoh/gvg, dont wanna play most of the mission over while i have finished it with my warrior and monk.

Most people i meet help me for free and take things slow to show me everything i'm now level 11 and this completly random guy i met gave me an icy war hammer of enchanting 17-32 purple max damge weapon for free it gives me 14% longer enchantsment as well it rocks out louad this is how it went.

Me: Hey nice armour

guy: thanks

Me: where you get it?

guy: this dunegeon place (i can't remember what it was)

Me: will you help me out

guy: sure what mission

Me: ruins of surmia

guy: ok lets go

(in mission)

me: i could do with a better hammer

guy: i'll get you a max dmg one

me: thanks man your the best

and then he traded me the hammer and i try to stay away from people who want you to pay them and is there any news of an update so like you can get to level 40 and do some more quest or whatever because level 20 is a little low

Monks definitely have the best healing ability with divine favor (which adds 3x whatever rank you set it to; e.g. 6 Divine Favor = +18 healing every spell cast on an ally), and they have a spammable elite skill--Word of Healing--that heals for tons. If you wanted to be a good alternate healer, it would probably be best to pick a mesmer (for speed) or Elementalist (for a deep energy well).

There probably won't be an update to up to the maximum level cap any time soon simply because it would mess up PvP. Developers have already said that the Chapter 2 expansion will still keep the current level cap because of that. If one person can get to level 40 and one person can only be level 20 because they didn't purchase the expansion, it isn't really fair. That expansion is rumored to be out the first half of 2006, so an update AFTER that is possible.

Funny how you both have "max damage" hammers, yet both have different damage. Max damage for hammers is actually 19-35...

    • 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.
