Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

Racial elite skills are not usable in structured pvp right?

And also things like the little reward you get from digital deluxe. The wolf summon thing.

If I'm level 30 and I go back to a starting zone, while in a party with a level 1, does the system still grant me exp as per my level 30 and my friend who is level per his level? I know that I would be downgraded to match that level 1 zone, so obviously, I can't one shot everything.

Yes, and yes, though still less than if you were in a level appropriate zone.

Not sure if you guys seen this yet - PC gamer's article on Asura starting area. I know the Asura in the forums are going to appreciate it! Fancy sharing some of those cookies you guys have? Also, that little Asura is so absolutely adorable!

In the Charr theme of conversation... ASH LEGION is the best of the legions! I can't decide if I'm going to play Norn or Charr first. HELP?!

Thanks a great read and really got my asura on.

I respect no authority but the clenched fist of my Legion >:]

I think I'll be a gladium. I respect no authority. Period.

Is there any particular server that EU MMOC players will be joining ? Or is everyone going with Sea of Sorrows regardless of what region you're actually in ? I'm asking mostly because of the time zone, I don't want to be playing alone when everyone is sleeping, although I don't think anyone will be getting any sleep this weekend!

For the beta we're all going sea of sorrows, but on release we'll find an EU servers as well.

I'm not sure if this is something to be worried about with GW2 or not, but it seems like it's built more for casual play. As in it's a great side game mmo with no subscription costs that could possibly tag along with another mmo. You'd have to go elsewhere to get your raiding pve fix if there is no 10+ pve end game raiding and you enjoy that. (World bosses don't count for me.)

And there is no way to progress your character with the exception of leveling right? Gear is just visual. So when you hit level cap there is really no reason to feel forced to log on to do dailies, keep up with anything, or whatever. That seems like a double edged sword to me. Of course, I don't know and I'm speculating so don't poop a shit. :P

[Cherrysoul]

Is it wise to pick sea of sorrows when a hell of lot of people are going to be there, from a standpoint of WvWvW balance i recall one of the last beta's mike b mentioned that when he went into wvw there was a crap ton of people on one server and like a handful on another, now i know there are more people and more servers, but SoS seems to be popular not just with us, but Aussies and others... just a thought a had in the middle of the night, as you do >.< LOL


ETA: Shang i suggest you read up on the "mass info" thread in this sub forum, HEAPS of accurate information in there about this game.

I know the basics, but am not overly clued up on GW2. So, as a little thought that just came to me, is your personal story based around your profession or your race? (Yes, most will probably think that is basic knowledge, sue me ;P)

Your race and the decisions you make while making your character.

Race, and the choices you make when creating the character.

Race and certain story based choices in character creation and throughout the story. Profession has no bearing on it.

EDIT: Hah, I love it when everyone answers a question at once... why am I usually the last?

if that is true it is one more thing that makes me sad why would a thief have the same story as a mesmir?

The Thief and Mesmer or any profession for that matter, don't have any story driving qualities to them in the lore. In GW2 your "profession" is basically how your character fights and nothing more within the lore.

Mif, I DEMAND MY COOKIES! (Does it help that I'll have an Asura alt?)

But how do we know your alt isn't just farming cookies for your main

Cookies... don't grow on trees...

New page! Anyone else excited to use character creation? Think I'm more looking forward to creating a character than actually playing, heh.

i just find that sad just seems like a cop out on anets part less story they need to write even in our world a cop and a cook have different stories to tell but a warlock and a guardian wont it is just sad.

The personal stories are all different depending on how you create your character, so I don't see the issue. There isn't just a single story. A Charr warrior and a Charr elementalist will have different stories, so will a Charr Warrior who is ferocious and a Charr warrior who is charming, and so on.

What are you talking about? In one of the videos or blogs (can't remember which it was) they were talking about having to write so many different storylines for all the different character creation combinations, and had to work hard to make sure they're all tied together through the elder dragons so that every character does, eventually, go after the elder dragons and help the Edge of Destiny do their thing.


Sure, a cop and a cook have different stories to tell, but they both were affected by 9/11.
