Not only do you not, you can't. That very concept is antithetical to the game's design.

It was some leather bag recipe that you can purchase with karma points. Im trying to figure out where the bloody hell it was.
Its in the Charr zone somewhere. Am still searching wasting a ton of copper warping around lol

The launch is just fine, and your issue doesn't seem widespread at all. So...it's nothing like D3.

That's why I state it's the worst lauch I've ever experienced.

I have zero problem figuring out what's going on. Why are you clicking on enemies with your mouse? You should be using tab.
Fair enough!
What's your error anyway? Did you try contacting support?
So far the only area that my PC is having trouble with is the Black Citadel, did some of the beginning story missions for my Charr character and I had to get inside of the Citadel up to the commanding officer.
Game slowed down to a crawl and the weird thing is it was even doing that after I entered the instanced area...

I did two days ago. Also through facebook and twitter as they're very active. Basically told me to wait. Still waiting. I guess they have a huge mass of tickets.
If it's a recipe I think I'm right in saying you can discover it if you put the right collection of mats together. It's how I discovered Runes of health and crafting bags.

Purging flames + Symbol of Wrath = bad day for the bad guys when you throw down both at once then do that spin attack with the greatsword.
Today it happened somewhere around 4:30 PST.
I would say around 10-20 minutes.
But there are some "chained-events" that contain multiple smaller events that lead up to a big finale.
Those take longer to reset because ofcourse the whole "chained-event" takes a lot longer to finish...
Solo friendliest MMO I've ever played. I'm only about level 15 or so though, so things might change later on, I don't think they will though. I've spent the whole day yesterday doing the sylvari starter zone and I never had to search for a group. Events scale to the number of players anyway so you can do them solo if you want. Can't remember a lot of events I did solo because there's tons of people around and everyone generally participates in ongoing events.
A question for people playing thief: How do you handle multiple enemies (PVE)?. I did a story mission yesterday where tons of enemies spawned and trying to melee them was impossible because I died too fast. I usually go dual dagger or sword/dagger with dual pistols, but I had to swap in a shortbow to AOE the mobs down from a distance.
Is there any way to handle multiple mobs with melee weapons?
Is this a special bag or bigger than the normal 8 slot bags you'll get with some professions?
Spookie said:
Could you please eleborate what these bags are and how to make them?
Playing Sylvari Thief too.
I use dual daggers and a short bow. What I normally do vs. multiple foes:
1. Start with laying down some of your traps (skills, I picked calltrops and other slows/stunning traps and I use the plant skill sentry.
2. I use the bow first, shoot that explosive arrow to aggro them.
Then lay down the posion field in the area where my traps are.
3. They run through the traps, getting slowed/stunned and poisoned while I keep shooting arrows.
4. They recover and start running towards me.
Just before they reach me, I use the 5th bow skill to teleport behind them (maybe laying down another trap/poison field if it's off of cool down.
5. I switch to dual daggers. First use the 4th skill to throw the bouncing dagger and hit multiple enemies.
Then when they get close I summersault using the 3rd dagger skill and attack them .
If needed I can use my healing skill or use the 5th dagger skill to go into stealth and walk up behind for a nice backstab doing lots of damage.
Basically this way I never die and get in a lot of damage before even having the need to go into melee combat.
Melee combat does a lot of damage and I usually spam that 3rd skill when in melee.
Hope this helps

Thats what Im trying to figure out currently. Actually will see if I can switch my profession and check. I forgot if I purchased the recipe or not though. Will write back.
I still cant find the bloody NPC though. Its driving me up the wall.
I shoot them with my bow.
You don't actually purchase recipes in this game... very very few you do. You discover the recipes yourself.

I have a question in the Charr starting area:
How do you get this point of interest? I've looked everywhere! I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the way point next to it being contested.

Sounds like I'll have to swap my dual pistols for the bow. I think I'll go back to dual daggers as well. The sword is nice but the second sword skill with the teleport doesn't seem all that useful in pve. What other skills are you using? I'm currently running around with Spider Venom and the precision sigil and using the default healing skill. I'll try out the other healing skills today, I really like the stealth the default heal provides though.

Ahhhh! Ok! I'll go hunt for some stairs down then! Thanks
The on hit healing is really nice. If I wasn't going with a backstab build I'd of used it instead of the stealth heal.
But ya, sword is really crappy in PvE... hell I think it's crappy in PvP too. The whole teleporting around doesn't seem to really be of much use.
What's your backstab build? I'm running around with as much precision gear as I could find/craft and have so far dumped all trait points into the precision line (can't remember the name).
I imagine the teleport sword skill can be quite useful in pvp. The range of the back teleport seems quite large so it could be really good way to get away quickly.

Though not using wire, or the stealth trap in pve, not worth it. Using the RUN FAST signet, precision signet, and spider venom.
Poison build might be better for pve too.

Is there a list of GAF folk to add and play with?
Thanks again for pointing me to it, Anno (Hasemo here).
Haha, glad you found it. That thing drove me bananas.
Yeah, it was such a pain. And a tip for everyone looking for it - be prepared to face/run past 3 or 5 ghost bosses while in there.

Haha, you're supposed to re-enter the tomb where you fought your first boss in the tutorial stage.
From there, you can access this POI.
Holy crap, I had no idea.
I really dig the traps to slow/stun enemies while I just keep shooting at them with the bow.
I use the 2nd healing ability because I really dig the backward lunge to get out of the heat of battle. Maybe I'll try out that on-hit healing skill tonight, see how that works..
I like the "turret" skill because the plant turret actually aggro's enemies as well (which will keep it off of you for a couple of seconds in which you can heal and lay some more traps). Also stopped using the swords as I found the skills not that useful. The dual pistols are nice, but I think the bow is a better option to attack foes at range.
Explore, do the skill events, join those world events and do the view point quests..
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. It is amazing how this game invites to exploration. The Visa's and jumping puzzles, the interactive NPC's (yeah SWTOR I am looking at you), and the variation in the landscapes, really draws you in. I feel like part of a world instead of just part of a game.
This kind of immersion has not hit me in an MMO before.
Same, and I also just found out what ''vistas'' are.
