How do you do this?
I wasn't too happy with my Charr warrior either.
Then I found a 2-h hammer.
Then I found fun.
Hammertime.
The greatsword's not too bad either. I found 1h sword very underwhelming.
So I've gotten an engineer to level 12, a warrior to 6, and a necro/mez/guardian to around 3 or 4.
Looking for suggestions on what to try next. Engineer is ok, but seems kinda clunky with the kits and I've been dying like crazy.
The last couple of MMORPGs I've played
WoW: Warrior, DK, Ranger
Tera: Lancer, Warrior, Sorc.
Tor: Juggernaut, Assassin, Operative
AoC: Herald of Xotli
Any suggestions? Don't really want to mess around with a pet class and would like something that's has good AOE and support would be great. I know I want everything lol
If it's a class I've already played, just tell me to quit bitching, suck it up, cause the class rocks once it clicks.
Thanks guys.

Quoted for being lost in the thread. Anyone?
EU digital copies are 20% off at getgamesgo.com right now
Telling where you are in Europe might help.Quoted for being lost in the thread. Anyone?
Cheapest one in the Netherlands(afaik), 40 euro: http://www.gamecardwinkel.nl/
edit: They raised their prize it's 43 euro now. :|
This is how I felt. I love my 2h hammer!
Bear in mind that the classes can take on far different roles depending on the weapon skills and utility skills they have. My Necro is VERY pet heavy (staff+pets), but with a couple of different skills chosen, he becomes very condition-dot heavy with no pets at all (wells+axe/focus).
Same with a warrior. A dual handed guys is putting out good aoe damage, but a sword/warhorn provides more buffs and support for a group. The weapons and utility skills you chose really define your play. Try all the weapons out for the one that feels right for your character and build from there.
Question about legendaries - Does anyone have a link that has which crafting profession is needing for which legendary? Also, is the thing that you craft character bound or account bound? Meaning, can i make a legendary for my man if I dont have that particular crafting profession, but one of my alts does?
Short Review - All i have to say that this is the first time since ME2 (dont hate me) that has completely sucked me in. Now, the first 8 or so levels, basically up until the first Centaur area in the human zone are a bit too hectic, zergy, and spammy, but after that, when people get a bit more spaced out and you can really start to explore and the mobs start to get a bit harder, man oh man, does this game get sweet.
They absolutely nailed exploration. I love the feeling of just doing whatever you want, exploring this and that, finding cool stuff and leveling as well. Other MMOs, if you went off the quest track, there was simply nothing there so it was pointless to do it. Rewarding exploration definitely is the best feature in this game for me, even above DEs and the awesome combat system
My only real complaint is the performance. I get decent fps in Pve and it keeps it up in DEs, but WvW is a huge issue for me. Its simply unplayable. Now, i wasnt planning on playing a whole lot of WvW until i hit 80, so maybe performance will improve by then and it wont be completely packed
Also, what should i make my Charr: Warrior or Necro? I already have a ranger and a guardian so i kinda feel that warrior is a bit redundant, and I did like Necro in the beta (no, im not paying money to buy more character slots)

When does the game actually launch? It's midnight here in the UK and I still can't play it.
Try the Black Citadel, if you would. I'm curious about something.
12:00 am PDT.

You need a comannders cap (or something) to form raid groups in WvW. Problem is, is that costs 100gold.
Without that, yo can only form groups of 5

As much as I don't like playing small characters, the Asura do make pretty neat engineers

Ok yea I just got the new drivers, the one released yesterday and it's helped greatly. Still get some choppy framerates in spots, but no longer is it 5-10fps in many random places. It's at least playable now
Btw, if anyone needs any weapons made... I'll be happy to help. I can make any lvl 25 and lower weapon (sans bows/scepters). Just send me a message in game, what type of weapon and what type of stat, and I'll send you a message of what monster ingrediants you'll need to send. I will supply the iron/copper/wood and all the other stuff, but I will need you to supply the ingredients that actually make the modifier.

Interested in getting to a MMORPG and having no monthly fees seems like a big plus! How short can game sessions on this be? I don't like putting a ton of time into games, but it'd be fun to interact with people online and go on quests, etc. I know nothing about it other than everyone seems to be praising it and never played a MMORPG before....
And then what's the easiest class to go with for a beginner? Human warrior?
Thanks!

Anyone foresee any problems of installing this game onto a fresh 64GB SSD? (with only Windows 7 installed; intention being that Win7 and GW2 would be the only large files.) Otherwise it would go onto the standard 1TB HDD.

Does anyone know a good profession leveling guide?
I only have enough bronze ingots left to make one.
It's armor smithing. Other crafting professions have them too.
This is depressing for me. I have basically the same machine except my CPU is OC'd higher and I have a 690 GTX. Frame-rate is all over the place. Someone start a PC performance thread because this kind of discussion get buried in here.
I'm a weaponsmith and jeweler so I don't think I can make any. I can make bronze ingots, though. How many do you need? And what's your character name so I can mail?

In terms of PvE progression, this is probably the most casual MMORPG ever made. You can easily make meaningful progress even just playing for a few minutes since you are rewarded for just about everything and there is almost never any obligation to actively group with other players in order to accomplish something. Run around and smash buttons and your bars will fill.
You only need to post 3 aspects of your PC honestly: CPU, GPU, RAM. Everything else is sort of irrelevant.
Here are my specs again. I'm running 60 FPS, everything on max. No slowdowns during battles or anything during PvE.
i7-3770k
Gigabyte GTX 670
8GB RAM 1600.

Resolution is a big deal too.
I already did my pre-purchase code through there, do I do the same for my retail code? I didn't see anywhere to log into my GW2 account so it'd associate properly?
10 ingots per bag. Character name is Emilie

Just got my box in the mail and am extremely disappointed with the packaging. The first GW had an elaborate embossed packaging with 3 different versions for the box art. It also a had thick fully colored instruction manual filled with lore. This game is pretty much a DVD case with a paper slip in for an instruction manual. Now I wish I had gone with the headstart and bought it digitally instead.

Go to any of the karma NPCs in town and check their second tab. You should see a blue stone available for purchase. Buy it, click it, and run up the hall to the ghost NPC at the center of the room.
