Let me introduce you into todays world of MMO hacking and phishing. I want to start off by saying that the fact you said that you think email/pw combos have been taken from Anet shows you dont pay attention to gaming news. What is happening in gw2 is the same thing that happened to d3. Next, the % of accounts that have been compromised is in the tenths of 1% of total game accounts, and they have all been compromised becuase people dont follow day 1 kindergarten account security suggestions. ALL of the MILLIONS of email/pass combos that these hackers are using are from the same list they have recently used against wow and d3. ALL of those name/pw combos where taken from ill secured fan sites, forums, and even non-gaming sites that had security vulnerabilities. In fact, there are MANY hacking groups out there that have been sold the original lists and nearly all have been secured. Out of those MILLIONS of accounts, very very very few have yielded an actually hacked account. And ONLY if you are using the same email/pw combo you have used on other ill secured websites! Dont be a chicken little, and dont use the same password for everything. If you want a secure account, create a new email address with a unique pw and register it. there ya go. Play the game. edit; they didnt stop digital sales because of security concerns - they stopped becuase of server population concerns, They didnt want to give players bad service becuase there where too many of them. That being said AFAIK only the digital downloads bought at guild wars are turned off, other retailers, as long as they have cd keys left, should still be selling them. Try Amazon. |

So, I just picked this up on Sunday (BestBuy had it in stock...woot!)
Anyway, fired it up and logged in. First thing I noticed, I need to upgrade my rig LMAO (which is pretty good right now) to take advantage of all the graphic settings. Very anxious to do that. Rolled a Charr Thief. Combat is VERY different, but very very entertaining. Honestly, I thought I would absolutely hate to have to 'dodge', but I actually quite like it. Combat takes some getting used to so I am still learning how everything works. For example, my main attack (button 1 by default), when I hover over it, it lists several different attacks and I am not quite sure when/how they work or are used...little confusing. It DEFINITELY is different from traditional MMO's, but so far, it is refreshing. There is a learning curve, but thats cool... I tried out PvP (I am a big time PvP'r...PvE is meh for me, but i still enjoy it). I was floored when I saw all the different items you can get for PvP. Its like two different games really. PvP and PvE. Did a few matches last night and so far, after a few hours playing, i like it. I like that you cant just steamroll somebody due to gear difference. Combat is actually challenging and entertaining. I tried to queue up for WvWvW, but I had to log after waiting about 10mins because it was full. Definitely want to try that out. I tried a Thief and Ranger. Both are fun. Want to try a Necro and Mesmer. BTW, can you only have a total of 5 character slots across all the servers? |

For those of you still wondering if you should buy this game, here's a pretty comprehensive review that was posted just yesterday on YouTube. It's reasonably long, but if you're even remotely interested it ought to hold your interest.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ax-_06Acj8Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Incidentally, if you have this game, make sure that you have a UNIQUE password for your game account. My password was pretty complex, but it was the same as a password for something else that had apparently been discovered at some point, so I got hacked. Hoping that ArenaNet will restore my account soon, because I'm itching to play more of this game! |
so is this correct about PvP? You can only get better looking items, not better items like with more damage or more armor or whatever? They are all going to have the same stats? But are there different runes? I made a few PvP items at the mythic forge and they had an open rune slot, so maybe you can make runes? I still don't understand how it works.
So that's when skill selection and actually player skill will come into play, I like that. It's not just a gear check, thats cool with me if that's the case. |
Quote:
You can buy more slots with cash/gems or gold, but you better be an epic farmer for that. |
Items CAN have different stats, but basically all items are the same statwise. Ie; they all have a stat pool that can be a myriad of different things, so that you can specialize in one stat or another, but once your in the top tier items, they all have the same amount of total stats/damage.
All gear is absolutely even in Spvp. The same goes for pve/wvw. While there is a top tier you can reach, after that, anything 'better' is based purely on cosmetic and what works for your particular build, nothing is inherently more power than anything of the same tier. I think it goes like Normal - white Fine - blue Masterwork - green Epic - yellow Legendary - gold |
Level 400 - Armorsmith
Let me know if you need anything made. |
ohhh sexayyy - what server?

How's everyone's experiences going? Got my Necro to 80, Ranger to 35 and Mesmer to 26. I've yet to hook up with an experienced group doing dungeons. I work too damn much can't seem to hook up with my guild mates to give it a go.
I've been enjoying PvP more than I've ever in any other game to date. I've never been an avid Pvper so this is quite a feat of change. So now I'm in dire need of better FPS. Time to build me a new system. Been a couple years since I've built my own. I built a wish list up on newegg watcha think? http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Pu...umber=28591328 Need to find a good liquid cooled heatsink, any suggestions? Anyway, again... how's everyone's experience going? |

I've always used AMD CPU's, never had problems. I havn't compared benchmark tests but would like to see how they square up to each other. |

Twice as much as the AMD chip, is it really worth it? |
Quote:
Here are some benchmarks (yes, the FX 4100 is there, it's just way down in the list). You can look at the other charts on that website if you feel like it. As far as GW2 goes, I'm still enjoying it. :D |

I understand this to be used primarily with onboard graphics which I care less since I'm adding a PCI-E graphics card. So I'm assuming it doesn't matter then with my build. Edit: Glad to hear you're still enjoying GW2 :thumb: |

I'd still get the 2500k and put that $80 into a quality mobo, but that's just a personal preference. I never skimp out on mobos and PSUs. |

Will second the recommendation for the i5-2500k. Built mine last year and very happy with it.

I've got a level 26 Ranger, have fallen way behind in my crafting (leatherworking and jeweler). If anyone has any items they would be willing to part with, I'd be forever thankful.

So is this game worth a shit?

Quote:
1) Much like WoW, the world is so huge and interactive, that you'll need a few months just to become acclimated. This keeps things from becoming boring and repetitive. 2) Crafting is FUN; I usually end up gathering while playing WvWvW, as the Battlegrounds have some really high-level stuff. 3) Having a guild keeps me playing on a more frequent basis. Whereas I didn't benefit much from the guild structure in WoW due to my low level, GW2 offers an immediate benefit by allowing ALL levels to immediately enter WvWvW at level 80. 4) WvWvW can be INCREDIBLY fun, especially when the servers reset and new matchups begin (usually Fri. night) Here are a few cons, just so I can be fair and make sure I'm not misrepresenting my overall experience: 1) The currency system is far different than that of WoW. I spend most of my time with < 1 gold, and repairing my armor (I spend most of my time in WvWvW) can become very difficult. This can be alleviated by doing some PvE (dungeons, etc), but I do feel like I'm always strained on money. 2) Three of the four battlegrounds have the exact same layout. Literally, they are the SAME MAP. This can produce a very homogenized experience after you've spent enough time on the maps; defending a particular keep that you've had to defend 50+ previous times can become boring. If GW2 introduced three separate battlegrounds, and had a rotating server system (ie, Server 1 gets map 1 for a few days, then map 2, then map 3; same for Server 2 and Server 3) it would lead to a far more exciting and fresh experience. Overall, I'm really pleased with the game. I'm having a lot of fun, and I still feel like I've only hit the tip of the proverbial iceberg. |
Quote:
Every Hall hall will be unique. I'm really looking forward to that update. |
Im still playing some, have a 80 necro and 54 ranger.
As for heatsinks make sure you get the h100~ Its the bomb. An i52500k is a good budget processor. Pair it with a 660ti and extreme 4 for a pretty killer budget system~ |
The Lost Shores release will kick off with an event this Friday. The content looks interesting, especially the endless dungeon. I'm not sure how I feel about the new armor -- some people on the official forums are angry that it appears to be the first step of the genre's typical loot-grind treadmill. I think I need to see how it's implemented, but that is a concern.
I'm still thoroughly enjoying the game, though. I missed most of the October event, so I'm really looking forward to this one. |
Quote:
There needs to be some kind of a loot grind in the game. I have all the best shit possible in the game (outside of legendaries, which I won't even try for) so there's not really much for me left to do. I do WvWvW occasionally, but there's only so much of it I can do before I get bored. I haven't played GW2 at all this week because there's nothing for me to do there, really. |
I have been playing off and on still, just cant stick with a character and basically abandoned my necro as soon asi hit 80~

For example, look at how they improved questing significantly by moving it from NPCs to real world events. I'd prefer they find something innovative like that for the end game. |
Quote:
Mike O'Brien and his crew are quite creative. I'm sure they have many ideas waiting in the wings. So much more of the world (map) has yet to be opened. I'm wondering what's in store for the Ring of Fire area. |
I dont play. My comp can barely run it at low resolution, but all the requirements and "canurunit.com" had me believe I could run it optimally before I purchased it.

Im running maxed on a gtx 670. Its a CPU intensive game though. And unfortunately the game is not made to take full advantage of multi-core systems. Even though im running 6 cores if I wast OCed so hard I dont think I could run it maxed. It needs optimization still pretty badly.
I have been playing guardian lately, just dicking around a bit. |

Make sure your using the 306.xx WHQL drivers. Any of the beta drivers beyond have drastically reduced framerates |

I did alot of messing around today and found the 306.23 drivers are definitely the best for me. In fact, its a marked difference the newer I get from there.

Game of the Year 2012 from Gamespot On a side note... anyone enjoying Wintersday? I've been following Tixx from outpost to outpost as much as I can this week. Damn work getting in the way Grrr! |
i have been collecting randomly, but am not much for grind events. I did level a guardian to 80 in only 58 hours of gameplay, including lots of screwing around and learning how to play it.

If you look closely you may notice my level 18 THIEF i started today. His name is Fire Pioli, and without the mask on, I think its a dead likeness~ |
I'm having a lot of fun with Wintersday. It's a big improvement over last month's event. The daily dungeons have been fun, and those cute little mini-monsters are surprisingly tough. The "Bell Hero" game is a great idea, and I hope they implement the autogrouping for other instances.
I haven't managed to finish the jumping puzzle and I probably won't, but other than that it's been a blast. |
Do you all play on the same server? I originally pre-ordered this game but haven't played it much because i've been busy. I want to get back into playing it but i'd rather play with people from cp.
|
Im on yaks bend. not sure about others. anyone can add me Falx/Geno Smith/Fire Pioli etc
edit; found my acct name Falx.3758 |
I'm on Northern Shiverpeaks with a guild I've been with in other games over the past 5 years. Hopefully, they implement guesting soon and we can all hook up sometime.

I took a break from GW2, but guess its time to get it rolling again. Oh, and you put 18 levels on your Thief in 1 day? I must be doing it wrong...took me awhile to get to 18 on my Thief...whats the secret? :) |
Quote:
As for leveling, on the guardian I read up on leveling one, and the guy had done it in 65 hours. I did it in something like 58. I just used his build but followed the same strategy I have been using. Just do hearts and stop and do every dynamic event you can, while mixing in the personal story quests at the appropriate level, as they are worth a ton. Once you get higher than 20, you can stop and do crafting on 2 crafts every 15 or so levels, and if you take 2 to 400( i did weapons and armorsmithing on my guardian) thats actually 20 full levels of experience. I recommend the crafting guides at http://www.gw2wiz.com as they are the fastest cheapest way and lay out so it is very easy to follow. If you want to level even faster, start with cooking first and take it all the way to 400 at say.. double the pace of the other craft you are working, (so get it done somewhere around 50-60 level) when it is 400 (its cheap and easy) then switch to another craft and level that to the point of catch up with your original non-cooking craft skill. That's another 10 level in little to no time with crafting. |
Nwes on upcoming changes/direction of GW2
I am still playing quite a few hours per week of gw2, may be worth checking out if you haven't or if you haven't looked at it for a time. Also for those of you sticking to the older nvidia drivers, I was able to fix my stuttering by turning shadows to medium, with every other thing maxed and play fine, its a rendering bug rather than a hardware issue~ |
Free weekend starting today. Not to mention reduced pricing on the game.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/t...d-april-19-21/ |
If anyone out there is no longer playing this, and has plans to no longer play this, I am looking for a second account to use! Please PM me! Can work on compensation!

Well, even though I have about ten invites out there are only 4 people That have accepted.
Myself, PRcapone, and Canofbier are on Yaks bend, though Im the only one who plays, and Chasedude is on.. northern shiverpeaks? Methinks. Add me to friends and shoot me a PM~ Falx/Geno Smith/Fire Pioli/Falcks etc etc |
I will look you up. Gonna hyjack my son's account. Him and his friends play a game for about a month and then move on.

So.. guildwars 2 is back with a vengeance. Of course they have constantly updated the game through living story, but in the month before the HoT expansion is coming out, they have made all non-expansion content FREE to play. Heart of Thorns releases on the 28th (?) with new PvP and WvW modes, new storylines and open world content, a new class, and elite specialization for all classes. As well as 3 new ten man raids, and a new squad UI to go with them. Exciting stuff in what I consider the best MMO ever behind Ultima Online.
This game is not pay to win my friends. Its an amazing amount of content for free, and best of all, you can jump right into PvP and WvW without any restrictions on a free account. If anyone is playing, hit me up! www.twitch.tv/falxftw or falx.3758 |
Meh, feels dated at this point. Didn't have the same impact for me as GW1. Played the shit out of GW2 and beat it the first month it came out, had the "you got 100% map completion but don't get the reward" bug, filed a support ticket, was told that they released a fix but it doesn't RETROACTIVELY fix any character that was already affected.. hated how the separated arena PvP with PvE, WvW felt like a theme park/zerg fest which was the breaking point for me. Competitive PvP integrated with my PvE character which I poured a ton of hours to is what hooked me to GW1, now competitive PvP is completely separated which is a huge mistake. Makes playing feel pointless to me tbh
