Guesting is not live yet I believe.
If he's simply server hopping, he can do that for free until Anet decides to end the free transfers once populations balance themselves out. It'll cost gems after that.
Are we looking at the same armor, because T3 cultural is like 30 gold for the body and 25 for the helm or something crazy.
Oh damn. I just looked at the vendor when I was level 30 odd something and it was dirt cheap. Either it was increased or it was priced after my level, perhaps even downgraded? Maybe I'm just mistaken.
Was bumbling around last night as my warrior and was just feeling pretty bored. Just don't think the profession is clicking with me like I wanted it too, definitely not going to last the long haul. After making what seems like a dozen characters, I figure I had a lot of fun with the Ele in the beta weekends, I'll just go with that again. Created an Asura again and bolted over to the Norn area. Perhaps I just miss the snow. lol

I think he's talking about the Vigil/Order/Priory gear.
The Orr temple karma armor are exotics with superior runes vs the Vigil/Order/Priory Rare gear. The stats on the Order of Whispers gear is pretty meh to me.

Order gear was increased in price too, wasn't it?

Yeah, but I dunno if it's the same price as Cultural Armor, I haven't checked since.

Yes, from 15-20s a piece to 1.4-2g a piece. Cultural armor is pricier.
You bind your extra mouse buttons as a "keystroke" and assign keys in your mouse profiler, then map those in-game. This goes for any PC game.

All of these are INCREDIBLY important, but the bolded one in particular stands out. I switched out one of my damage skills for a skill that converts all conditions to boons in a pulsing area - it wasn't the MOST helpful skill, but it's things like that that can turn the tide of battle in a SUPER heavy team oriented encounter.

Did you just mash your face against the keyboard when the "character name" prompt appeared?

yes,but you wont' have 1 as autoattack.. I think. just try ;P
Only 1 auto attack at a time. Just keep it on "1". Use your skills selectively.
which is OK, I can manually press 1 while I'm attacking I just want to ensure that the boons I get from call of the Wild stay active as much as possible, without me managing it.

Talking about Destiny's Edge? Well, it's been a rocky road for them. They show up during dungeons, too.

AC isn't indicative of the rest of the dungeons. I've done CM and TA so far (along with AC), and AC is still the hardest of the three.
GW2 is available in other languages than English. Crazy, I know!
Considering the buffs are only 15s and you will have downtime - I'd save it for when you need to line up some hard-hitting abilities. Skill management is part of playing the game effectively.
Fury, might, etc are things you want when you line up cooldowns for maximum effectiveness. Don't just toss that shit on for the hell of it. You will be gimping yourself and your group.
I might hold off on "For Great Justice" if my burst and other abilities are going to pop soon - I want to take advantage of the buffs to maximize my throughput while they are active.
I think TA is hardest, at least until we figured out how to defeat the 2nd boss. After we beat him it was smooth sailing.

What brand of mouse is it? Some mice have their additional buttons act as aliases for existing keyboard buttons, but some are entirely new buttons.
Bought a G600 friday, absolutely love it, was a bit afraid for the "palm" grip (I'm claw grip) but it's working out great, mouse makes me lol when I look at it though.
Had a lot of fun playing with the gamepad but when I was playing spvp with my friends I felt a bit slow with the pad, it's probably all in my head though but it felt sluggish. I was messing up targetting and it wasn't really clicking with my pistol/dagger thief.

I see where you're going with that, thanks for the input
Branding isnt the issue. Most programs only recognize up to 4 buttons. Most mouse profilers have "keystroke" bindings and are the only way to bind in-game after setting "Mouse 6" to a keystroke like "/" or any other unused key.
At least in my experience with several brands over the years it has been this way.
Which is stoopy poopy, IMO.

We had someone who had done it before, which made it easier.
Just because some people use made up crazy people languages doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer!
It's a HP mouse. I can set up button 4 to act like Space or End in Windows via the configuration tool, but GW2 doesn't recognise it when I do so. I tried other games since and they don't recognise the extra mouse buttons either.
I've put in a support ticket with HP, hopefully something will come out of that.
I'm finally seeing some impact of the level scale down now... And I'm not digging it. What's the point of leveling if you never get a chance to absolutely mop the floor with those low level bosses that gave you such a hard time earlier. Need something that will scratch those itches, is there some item that let you disable level scaling?
Also it's interesting the way they do trading post, it's nice seeing invisible hands so clearly at works (match highest, match lowest, set custom, see currently available quantities/prices).

Quoting for next page. Hoping to do TA after dinner and considering I hear some bosses are difficult, would really like some tips before hand
Another thing to consider is group boons - its more effective for me to pop on my entire group if they fall in range than it is to only pop on myself.
4 other players (dungeon example) will output far more than I can if I just pop it on myself. Timing is key. Just another point to consider. I play as suppprt on my Warrior so I'm in that mindset

The level 25 trait under Virtues for Guardian is so perfect. "You deal extra damage the more boons you have".
Popping all of your virtues makes you into a god damn powerhouse.
I love guardian.

I haven't played a single match of sPvP yet. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if using a gamepad is a bit of a disadvantage for very high-level play.
To counteract the problem of feeling sluggish, though, you may want to adjust the camera rotation speed further in-game.
Your traits are still active. It wont be faceroll but it will be easier, to an extent.
thetrin

The point is exactly that. Everything remains a challenge. What's the matter, don't like a challenge?
Yeah, if you play with a gamepad, you will be at a disadvantage. That's a fact of life, unfortunately.
Just realized it'd probably be worth it for me to swap out Signet of Shadows for something for my dungeon loadout. Hmmm.
And you still get relevant XP. Nonetheless, you should be able to roflstomp low-level stuff when you go back to a lower zone to some degree due to better gear, more skill options, traits and having improved your own skill. I can solo like 15 harpies at once in the Plains of Ashford event by the dungeon without breaking a sweat if I go back there now.
The one thing that really disapoints in this game is personal story... my character acts and talks nothing like i would. I wish it was more neutral, kinda like those mute jrpg protagonists, or at least letting me choosing what im going to say, like mass effect.
I want to stay away from personal story, to avoid being reminded that my character is just some random guy with stupid friends trying to act like a hero.
If at least there was no voice acting...

Virtues is the +toughness tree right? I've been pouring all my points into that tree. Which level 10 skill did you pick? There's several useful ones there.

Decided to experiment more, this time with super-sampling, no-compression shots, and a tighter focus. Discarded quite a few attempts, ended up settling on this one. You should check the full-res one.
FULL RESOLUTION (3840 x 3752 - 20MB)
Man, I'd kill for a first-person view. Or a way to make creatures stop moving around.
It really is uneven. My Charr, Iron Legion, acts exactly how I expected him to, considering the choices I made.

Only for shooters!
I'm still not convinced that I'm at a disadvantage for this game...unless I need to tell someone "watchout!" and I have to throw my controller aside to type it.
I also say thanks for rez'ing me by jumping up and down. Stupid comfortable controllers.

If you don't play PvP then you're not really at a disadvantage.

No, Virtues is the bottom tree. I think you're thinking of Valor.
Just for PvP. PvP, you will be at a disadvantage.

This is true for every dungeon, bring at least one weapon with range attack. But for TA, the first and third boss are both easy and straight forward. For the second boss with the spiders(nightmare), you have to attack him while strafing. If you kill any of the spiders, they will release poison gas, so just run around kiting him and ignore the spiders. Just keep running and attack him. Do not stop or run into poison. Bring at least one condition removal skill is a good idea since he got skill that fear you into the poison cloud.
100% true.
Can't stand the personal story one bit.
Why is my rogue who deceives and shots/stabs people back treated like a hero? Why the hell is he so cheerful too?
thetrin
Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I took Stand Your Ground with me, which works on the whole team, and it made that fight a cakewalk.
I'm pretty sure he's only cheerful if you picked charming in your character creation.
