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...

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
