Guild Wars

the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
in Zocalo v2.0
This game has completely destroyed my life!

My primary character, Arkady Svidrigailov (N/Mo20, with about eighty hours of playtime) is at Droknar's Forge saving up for the 15k armor and a Sigil, while Avdotya Raskolnikov (Mo/E), Darwii Odrade (Me/E), and Rabban Harkonnen (R/Me) are still dawdling about in Post-Searing Ascalon. My Guild, Fish Speakers (my geekiness knows no bounds), has only three people at the moment, but we're planning on moving into PvP once we've unlocked some good skills and items.

Anyone else as hopelessly addicted as I am?

    I've been playing it as well. currently lvl 4 on my main charector. Leveling up in Old Ascalon for the fun of it. :D

    Ive got a couple characters, but there is a rather large AQM contingent in Guild Wars. We have characters everywhere, even lvl 20 ones.
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    I got 3 rp characters that are lvl 20, Jaina Kitade(N/Me, 30h play time) who is in Droknar's Forge, Sandra Kitade(W/N, 143h play time) who only got 1 mission to complete left, and Crystal Kitade(E/Mo, 39h play time) who's in Thunderhead keep. I use one character spot for different PvP builds. I don't know how much I've played with the PvP characters because the get deleted all the time.

    I've actually been playing way too much, but it's so much fun to play with my guild "The Foundation" [TF]. :)

    The thing I'm doing at the moment is to get skills and farm after runes. I still want that Superior Vigor run unlocked.

    Been playing it too for a couple weeks now and it's a lot of fun. Still trying to see which type of character is the most fun to play and so far I've found a Monk/Warrior the most satisfying, with a Ranger/Elementalist a close second. Trying a Mesmer/Monk now since I don't care much for Necromancing in general.

    I started with my Ranger and that's the one I'm furthest along in the main plot. Still only a level 9, but I'm not in a rush.

    Overall great game and I like it much better than Anarchy Online even though they are not really the same.

    If you need any help, just contact me and I'll see what I can do. I got almost every minor rune and I got some weapons too, but I won't help you with geting gold for the 15k armour or a sigil. :p
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    I'm a necromancer Mesmur on both my charecters.

    I have more life sucking magic then I know what to do with, lets me take on muhc more powerful foes. :D
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    oh, one little tip. Do as many quests that gives skills as rewards before buying the skills from a skill trainer. My primary character bought way too many and I got a problem with skill points now.

[/B][/QUOTE]I'm heading in the same direction--I bought just about every skill available up to Denravi, and now I'm contemplating which (possible minor, minor spoilers) secondary class to change to for the 15-attribute point quests.

    Speaking of which: can I only do one? Or can I mess around and see what secondary I like best? I really like N/Mo and would like to be able to switch back.
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Too little too late about the skill points, I'm using my first character for testing purposes and will eventually replace him with another since I skipped 90% of the quests in pre-searing with him because I was too eager to follow Tydus into battle. I almost reached the same level with my second character by just doing the quests in pre-searing and there were fewer annoying critters to deal with.

    Not sure about using Mesmers either... I'm a Warrior/Ranger/Monk kind of player and even the Elementalist side of my first Ranger character is pretty weak.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    Mesmer is a difficult class to play until you've got a good handle on the game, and even then you won't find it terribly useful in PvE. Where it really stands out, however, is in PvP--you can completely shut down casters and healers by stealing/burning all of their mana, making them take damage when they cast spells, et cetera.

    Also, from what I've read, ANet is working on beefing up Pre- and Post-Searing Ascalon in an effort to give the game more direction.

    You can change to any secondary profession you want and you will still keep the skills when you change back, same goes for the pet if you were a secondary ranger with a pet. Also, if you change and want to change back you have to do the profession path quest of your old profession. But you can change secondary how ever you like, it won't cost you anything.

    Just got the game today, level five and just entered the post searing. Ranger/Mesmer that goes by the name of Faramir Thornbrook. Any of you play for a guild? was trying to get into the OO one but it sounds like it is full. Any demand for a FO guild?
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Well, I'm already in a guild and I'd have to leave that one before I could join another one. You need 2,000 gold coins to start a new guild.

    Working on my Ranger/Monk... level 7 and still in pre-searing Ascalon. I won't leave until I've completed all quests there.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    I'm also in a guild with some real-life friends. An FO guild would be cool, but it's not worth it until everyone's gotten to the (I think) Deldrimor Bowl and can fight Guild vs. Guild.
  • RhettRhett (Not even a monkey)
    Do you all have friends that play? Is that how you find group mates for the earlier missions? Enjoying it so far, prolly gunna do some grouping later on today.
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    So far I don't know anybody of my friends that plays GW. But it's not too hard to find someone to fight alongside you in a quest though. There are two quests in pre-searing that require a team mate, other than that you can pretty much quest along on your own (or with your pet if you are a Ranger). In post-searing you can hire henchmen that can help you out if you don't find enough players to help you out. I wouldn't recommend travelling alone in post-searing, you'll die often. I found myself relying on henchmen most of the time since they are less likely to abandon you when the crap hits the fan. Make sure to have at least one monk in your team in case you need to be resurrected (especially in critical quests).

    I got 2 RL friends that play GW and we're all int the same guild. I've been in 2 other guilds before this one, but it was back in BETA events. First one had only 5 people and we didn't know what we were doing. Then I join a community guild and from there I left with a group of people to found my current guild.

    If you actually want a guild go to [url]www.GWonline.net[/url] and look through their forums for the GWOnline guild place. It's open for everyone, but got some very skilled players as officers. You may join and leave that guild at any time you want.

    I do mostly quests and missions with henchmen or guild members. Almost allways when I've done mission with pickup groups they all want to do it their own way. But if you need any help, just ask me. :)

    IMO, instead of founding a FO guild we could play some cool explorable areas together when everyone is lvl 20 or maybe make a Tombs PvP team and stuff like that.

    BAH! I never see anyone of you online. :(

    Well, my boss won't let me play at work... which might explain why I'm not as far along in the game. I rushed my very first character into post-searing and I missed out on quite a bit and I lost skill points because of this, so this time around I'm taking my time to play the game. Besides I was experimenting a bit with different professions and so far I'm still sticking with both my monk/warrior and ranger/monk characters.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    I've hardly played at all recently, because I don't want to get too far ahead of my friends with my primary... but they've basically stopped playing (one hasn't logged on for over a week now), so I'm working on my low-level characters and PvP.
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    heh, I was just thinking about those I know the name of and have in my friends list.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    Arkady Svidrigailov. I'm not on your friends list? :(
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    I got you in my friends list, but you can get my character name from my first post in this thread.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    I think you've been on my friends list since the Betas! I have no idea what just happened here. :D
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    Aaallrighty then.
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    You all need to try out Dwarven Ale...and not just one bottle...take atleast 10. :)
    It can be bought from any dwarven merchant.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    You can BUY it? NOOOO! You can get Hunter's Ale outside of Ranik in pre-Searing Ascalon, some friends and I were going to stockpile tons of it and sell it at Lion's Arch. :(
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    I'm Qui Quag or Balefire Boy, I think if you add one you add them all though. :D

    Edit: Not that you'll see me at all...not for another week +3

    anyhoo....

    I've got it, playing a 10th level Warrior/Mesmer named Aleksandr Kerensky (sue me I'm a Battletech fan).
