overall i really like the crafting dynamic. something i generally hate. Its even nice i can salvage the useless items i create leveling up and i now see that discovering new item combos is the way to boost my level, not making the same thing over and over. And i like that if you keep it up you can actually get use out of what you craft. Something i'm not use to from playing wow. But you have to have means of getting the base materials in a non random way. And so far when the base tactic of leather is DE random armor drops, there's a problem.
my friend doing armor crafting is flying by, since he's mostly dependent on mining and wood as the basis of materials with the random mob items to spice it up. The leather is those PLUS the other drops.

Oh god thats so disney hahaha
Server instability is terrrrrriblePlease tell me it gets better the further out I get from the starting zones.
I think 1 day headstart people are just able to login. That might be why it's getting laggy

Very cool. Currently am going insane trying to get more poultry for one of the stews? Also running around still collecting veggies.
I found a karma reward recipe for a leatherW. bag so am wondering if that is more than the 8 slot starting one.
Am looking forward to cooking once I feel like I have enough ingredients to waste. Most def will be a huge help for doing dungeons and raids. Using it when wandering around I found to be a waste so will stop doing that to myself lol
One of the G. Leaders said they are still having issues with the various guild functions which also includes problems as already invited members getting kicked out. Also no new invites to the guild untill / unless you are on the list which they still need to go through before they will open it up again for registration.

Well as I head to bed my Norn Guardian is level 34. Got Hoelbrak, Wayfarer Foothills, Snowden Dritfts and Gendarran Fields 100%. Also have a level 10 mesmer in there too.
Haven't worried about a guild invite yet but I'll try to grab one over the next few days if there's room and people keen on WvWvW. My friends are all down in the 20s too so if anyone wants a dungeon tomorrow hit up Groff.

I'm sure it will get better as the initially rush of players dies down, but for the time being I don't mind being placed in the overflow server. My problems are...
1. Stupid message telling me there is a spot open now. It really should just be a small icon somewhere that turns green when there is an open slot. Click on it to join. That god damn message every few minutes if annoying as hell.
2. You get thrown into the overflow server when teleporting or entering new areas. This is extremely annoying because of point 1, but also if you already joined the main server then you really should stay on it until you log off.

It was in the charr area. Ill run around a bit and post back to you with the location. Will send you a PM with it also just in case you dont see the post. Will check now.
I got some chicken just not a lot like 3 pieces. Got a bunch of red meat from those drake things that are in the water though.
Save it for when launch happens. Since a larger pool of suckers with cash to peddle to.
I know I need to sleep...but I'm contemplating getting up early and putting another hour in. Gah. I think the addiction is taking hold.
I have yet to try sPVP and I prob want to rethink my key bindings and some specs for a mesmer before i hop right into that hole. That said, the few WvWvW runs I did today was damn fun (a shame I never got to experience the RvR from DAoC) and addicting... not to mention very lucrative.

Ya am the same guy with a lv 45 fighter in DQX. Both are good games but right now this is solving my needs for the want to explore and pwn random monsters
I have no idea what the issue is. But when I'm playing with a friend of mine, we can find eachother after a bit of floundering. But as soon as we try to play in the human areas it never works. We can find eachother pretty easily in the city, but as soon as we step out into another place of the human area, we never see eachother. One thing that is weird is that in the party "menu", you can see where your party mates are. Well, it seems like it is lagging behind, for example my friend can be in the human city, but it says that he is in Queensdale. Then if he steps into some other area, it may say that he's in the city now. I wonder if this is what may be causing our trouble with playing with eachother. It is all really strange.
The Join In thingy is weird. Sometimes nothing happens when you click it, other times it seems to work and loads the map again, but you don't find eachother (and you might see your friend on the map, but he doesn't move), and sometimes it works perfectly.
Really great game when it all works though.
EDIT: I wonder if things will work a bit better at launch?

I think that's happening to me, too. But I've been doing a ton of dynamic events to make up for it.

What race?
There's a lvl 52 in the guild already. Pretty sure he'll make 80 before the game launches. Watch it be news somewhere too that ppl accomplished this, nvm that it shouldn't matter that much.
As for me, I'm taking my time, making sure I visit every building and try to talk to every NPC in a new area. I'm about to hit 30.
You don't get karma for hearts. Just events.
I'm getting 100% in each section of a region before continuing on. Because let's be honest, I am getting 100% map completion with my Norn. The only reason I wouldn't would be because I stop playing before then.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Sure, if you're playing solo. Try doing it in a group. You don't automatically get put together, joining your friend doesn't work half the time and even then only works if you've already been in the same instance. So if they log in you have to meet in a town without an overflow or you likely won't ever get in the same overflow. It's a disaster.
Seems like you can't pick up Crafting in the starter areas? Are you guys just running to wherever you have to go, learning Crafting, and then heading back to the starter zone? I'm not really into the idea of just running straight through an area just to get to the Crafting trainer (I'd rather progress naturally) but my bags are getting clogged up with mats :/
Has anyone else been getting strange lag while playing in certain zones? While in Dissae Plateau, my story instances, and now the WvWvW borderlands map, I've noticed that the faster I move around, the longer it takes for my abilities to activate. If I move too far, too fast, I just get disconnected from the game.
If I run away from whatever is attacking me during combat, I'll still take damage from the enemy, leaving me completely defenseless. It's as if my character's actual position is several meters away from my point of view.
The oddest part is, I can see everyone move around me as if there were no issues.
The effect is also permanent, so I literally can't play large portions of the game. Already sent a ticket to support and started re-downloading the game, but I'm curious if any of you ran into a similar issue.

You can pick up crafting in any capital city or Lion's Arch. You have access to all of them from level one.
Just get your gathering tools and gather. When you head to a city or come across crafters out in the world, then you can train what you want and use what you've gathered and deposited.

You can send mats straight from your bags to your collection, which is basically a mat bank. You can do this at any time from anywhere in the world, just click the little gear in the top right or right click on the mat itself

Am still searching for who had the bag recipe D:
Which bag recipe?

Are the crafting XP tied to the character or to the entire account?
My guess is per character, but then why wouldn't you want to focus your crafting professions on only one character?
Are there any benefits in splitting up the different crafting professions on all of your characters?
EDIT: And while I'm at it, since there's a crafting tab where you can experiment with raw materials. Is there a collective site / wiki with some working receips yet?

I have an exam in about 17hours and I still have 30pages of economic problems to go through and I haven't even started yet. God damn mmos
Is there an emote system? I've tried messing around with a few commands - just looking for something like a "smile" or a "thanks" that I can give people who help me out.
Are the capital cities those areas you start in after completing the tutorial? Are they marked with a specific symbol or appear as merchants?
Whoa! Thanks for this!

How solo-friendly is this game? I read there are area quests, kinda like Warhammer. Do I need to be in a guild and raid for hours without pause to enjoy the content?
When you get out of your tutorial TURN AROUND. Your capital city is behind you. Why you don't actually start the game inside of it I have no idea.Is there an emote system?

It's very solo friendly. Every dynamic/area quest, a load of players will just group up by instinct and help each other.
