TBH I wish you could turn off the screen shake (or can you?). These mass events fry my brain.

We are only talking about stomps whilst stealthed. Otherwise it's fine in that typical annoying invis fashion.
What's the problem with the camera? I remember that I hated it during the beta weekends but since the launch it works basically like the camera in wow which is ok for me. I think it was more of performance problem because it worked normally after I upgraded my drivers.
From Twitter:
Login issues should now be resolved, enjoy your time in game
For those of you that may still be experiencing login issues, please close your launcher and wait a few minutes before trying again! ^AT
Screen shake can be turned off under the camera options.
Do you have to do it all on one character to get it?
Crafted level 80 exotics or karma gear from Ruins of Orr merchants I think.

So I hit 80 on my Necro yesterday. After wandering around Orr a bit, I decided to get started on my Guardian. Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that there are CLEARLY classes that are meant to have a group when exploring/gathering/grinding - I think Necro is one of them. I've got pretty decent gear, a nice trait setup, and a skill setup that has worked pretty well for a while. But a good amount of my leveling was done with a friend or two...Now, I can't really even traverse the landscape without fearing for my life - I just can't put out enough damage or control the mobs enough.
Has anyone else felt this way about their Necro/squishy class? And if I'm just crazy, any tips?

Can see it for those attempting to 100% everything, as it becomes more of a chore than actual fun. Some people will just force themselves to do it when it's totally optional.
Ah, thanks. Found the Karma gear here, if others wanna have a looksee. http://the-darkhand.com/guides/exotic-karma-gear/

I have put a good amount of time into this game and I would agree. In a way basically every place feels like nearly the same place. A bit of personality would go a long way.

Loving it at the moment - Level 30 Warrior : Psudeo : Sea of Sorrows.
Love Dual-Axes and Greatsword equally... also Axe+Shield... so many combos.. so little time.

You are supposed to go to orr with people, or at least follow some people around.

Yeah, but I guess I'm also alluding to the fact that any of the 70+ areas are unmanageable. Necros, for whatever reason, are aggro magnets. Even in dungeons, I get targeted immediately. I was out leveling in Orr as a level 76 Necro with my level 80 Thief friend - I was ALWAYS getting targeted, and I know he was doing more damage than me. I guess Necro was fun to level but has been underwhelming since cap.
Yep. Think of Orr as Mordor (Morrdorr?); it's the domain of the game's current big baddie. You won't last long wandering around unless you're very lucky.
This build might help you, but i haven't personally tested it yet cause im lvl 63.

Dual axes is the greatest thing ever.
I think they are going to open digital sales very soon. Issues are being resolved in daily patches, so maybe its better that you wait a bit for a better overall experience.

Ya I fell in love with Dual Axes on my Warrior over the weekend. So fun.
I still don't fully understand the combo system I need to look it up today.

Interesting...I may give this a go tonight. Thanks! I need to make some money so I can afford to play with gear options and upgrade my staff, but this may work.
E: Speaking of money, is the "best" way to make money simply grinding events for gear to vendor? The TB is SO over-saturated that I can't sell much to make a profit at the moment.
As much as this sucks for people trying to get the game (and really, it's incredible so I really do feel for you), I would like to say that ArenaNet's policy of turning down/off the flow of new players is a ballsy move.
Most MMOs open the floodgates and keep them open to capitalize on launch hype, creating huge server queues, high pop servers and all sorts of headaches but pocketing much more cash than they would have by responsibly managing their population.
It's also quite ballsy because ANet has no reliable source of income other than the initial purchase (since gems are entirely optional), whereas most MMOs have a subscription to rely on.
So yeah, it sucks for you folks who can't get in, but it shows what ArenaNet is willing to do to make sure the game is as smooth as possible. That speaks volumes about the kind of support they'll have for this game in the weeks, months and years to come. When you do get in (and you will), it will be a much better experience for it.
just wanted to say, glorious avatar sir
yeah, im hearing ghost eater is a lot easier.
I had went in last night with a bunch of gaffers and did this exact path. We eventually finished it, but not until after an insane number of attempts were put in on that damn burrow room. Aside from the burrow room (which needs to be retuned slightly, imo, or fixed so melee is not seeing a bunch of miss strings), the rest of it was actually not bad.
Cheers. One of my all time favorites.
Also quite a coincidence you talking to me. Was just looking over a list of films you linked me a few months ago, in the Asian films thread. About to start working through some more this week. Cheers for that again.
Also to stay on topic. Looking forward to trying this game with a friend. Like what I've seen so far.
That room is where my team had to give up, too. Interesting that if we all go ranged we might have better luck.
Ghost Eater was definitely easier. I'm curious about the third (first?) path.
Quick Engineer question: I rolled an engineer last night and got up to level 8 the class is a lot of fun.
When I made the char I picked one of the goggle sets for him to start with, however the question did pop into my mind, can I ever get a bomb backpack for him or is that only give to you when you start?

You only get that at the start and it doesn't appear anywhere else in game. Likewise with the goggles and monocle, so make sure you keep them. Thus, you can only ever have one of those three.
Can someone explain something to me? Yesterday I did the Citadel of Flame, story mode, for the first time. It was me and four random people. We ended up finishing the dungeon after about 90 minutes, and we got our asses handed to us the whole time, except for the dungeon boss, who was a cakewalk. Are these dungeons meant for only 5 people to complete? It just seemed like we were way overmatched. I wasn't sure if it was just our playing skill, or if you really are supposed to get killed that much on the way through the dungeon.
Thats a bummer but good to know. Is there a wiki page that details the bonus for each item [goggles, backpack]?
That's the point yeah.
Yes, they're meant to be done by only 5 players.
Yes, they are meant to be difficult.
Exploration mode is even harder.
You might want to try doing dungeons with people you know (Friends, GAFers or just work on making friends in game) rather than just 4 random nobodies. Your runs will go much much MUCH smoother if everyone knows what they're doing, and start to veer into easy if you get a feel for what your friends' playstyles are.
While this may seem like a bad thing at first, the alternative is dungeons that are short, linear hallways with loot pinatas that you snooze your way through. Plenty of those in other MMOS, don't need them in GW2.
There are no bonuses attached to starting equipment, the decision is purely cosmetic.
Bah, loved nearly every minute of this game until I had a game breaking bug in my personal story (
-- had to redo it 4 times (basically an escort mission and running back and forth) before it went through to the cut scene, which amounted to around 1 hour of wanting to punch the wall and giving up on the game. First time I've ever filed a bug complaint to a game developer, I can see how others feel now.
Other than that, nearly level 70 and loving WvWvW!
Tower Down after the last tower was blown up and clearing the beach, nothing triggered).

Just did two dragons in about 15 minutes with a bunch of GAFfers, was fun and got some nice loot. The Technogciagahdig the Sunless fight is way more fun and interesting than the Shatterer. I'm creeping up on 60, but no way will I be able to afford the grandmaster trait book for a long time.
I think we all would like a loot pinata.

Why did they allow us to use all craft materials from the bank besides cooking?

He tightened up the timings for the camera/pointer mode switch in this one.
I am as well. Has anyone heard if it was bugged? If its not, then Im down to try this. For curiosity's sake.
Im also game for CM story/explorable runs. I only got the last 1/3 of the story in CM due to pugs.
Also did TA story last night in a pug. That one was....interesting. The 2nd minion boss was a pita with all the damn poison flying arpund. :/
