The two servers I was considering playing on, Stormbluff Isle and Henge of Denravi, are both full right now.
I guess I'll wait to see if one opens up...
I believe transfers are still free, so you can pick a server now and level characters. Then when one of them isn't full you can just switch to that one with all your characters.
What level was that?
Edit: NVM, checking my personal story log I think you still have a good 10-12 story missions left.
Just bought the game today. Install it, hyped to play and then I notice the performance issues.
I've got a gtx 570 (tried older and latest drivers),intel i750 and 4gb RAM. Sure it's not the best computer out there but I can run most new games almost at max. This game is barely playable at the lowest possible settings. I've been reading on forums and I'm far from the only one with these problems.
It's a shame, I was really looking forward to playing this game. Maybe they'll fix this shit sometime soon. But it's definitely the worst 40 euro I spent this year.

Did you get the beta drivers? They make a big difference. Still game runs shitty on Nvidia. GF has an older slower ATI based card that runs the game at same setting so much better.
Yeah, I've tried beta, the newest ones that they just released today and some older ones. Doesn't really make any difference unfortunately.

Anyone want to help me do AC Story later tonight? I haven't done a dungeon run and I want to see how different it is from normal PVE (and how badly I'll suck). I also have mumble. My toon is Hayira by the way.
Urgs
Yes, I'd be more than happy to. What time are you thinking?

What time? I also want to try dungeons now with a fresh set of gear, and practice getting better at being a support-spec guardian.

You should, around med - high. I have the same Graphics card and a similar CPU/RAM and I have med - high myself (using auto-detect)
I'd like to as I haven't finished it yet. My in game name is Grank Kaar.
Hey cool, that's almost a full team!
I have a prior engagement at 8 that shouldn't take too long, then after that I'm happy to hit it up. Send Hawkian the Blade a whisper/party invite.

What time? I did my first one last night and would be willing to do it again. I'm pretty sure kn1ves24 would too. We were already talking about running AC tonight earlier. I'll be on Black Legend.
leaders should begin to trim the nonactives maybe?
Overflow guild is perfectly happy to take you in. You've messaged me?Anyone know if there is room in the GAF guild? I posted on gafguild.com. I get ignored when I message officers.
I play on Stormbluff Isle.
If you can go on now I can add you.
Yup, it's coming.

Yay thanks for the help. I'll be back home around 8 EST and then I'm good the rest of the night.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Just keep in mind that some of us 80s are taking a (temporary) break for bit.
I'm at work but someone search 'dresden' and see if he's still in the guild. He doesn't even have the game anymore so that's a free spot.
Kicked. Thanks!

Try another class. Warrior is meant to be a rather introductory class. If you like melee, try Guardian. They're cooler.
Also, instead of relying on others for hearts and events, wander around and see what you can find. That's what I did, and I was always met with huge events with lots of players. I almost never party up except with gaffers. There's really no reason to unless you're playing with friends.
I sorely miss decent long ranged options on my guardian. Having a melee weapon and then switching to gun/bow on warrior is simply better (IMO). The sceptre has the worst auto attack animation/speed ever, and the staff is really suited for support, not dynamic event damage.
I guess I am a bit of a weapons freak in this game, I feel with the way the skills have been constructed it's a major element in keeping combat from feeling stale.

It's probably too late for me to get on the gaf server but which server is gaf? I asked yesterday, I ended up picking Emerey Bay. Do the other character slots have to be on the same server?
I switched classes from a warrior and it was definitely needed. Not to badmouth the Warrior since there are plenty of people having fun with that class, but I am definitely preferring the variety I've got playing an Engineer.
And for all the good GW2 has accomplished in terms of events and no kill stealing and all that good stuff, it certainly is a fairly quiet experience since you're not grouping up with random people really, and all that. People just tend to converge on things and go about the typical business.
You *never* have to grind mobs.
Things you can do for xp
1. Do dynamic events
2. Go to another starter zone
3. WvW
4. Craft
5. Explore the cities.

Try WvW. It's what I do if I want a break from grinding and you get some good EXP to boot.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
This is just a suggestion because I've seen other guilds do it before but...
If members plan to take a break or something, there should possibly be the option for members who plan to take a break to send a message to either the officers or one of the leaders telling them that they are planning to take a break and that they are not indefinitely inactive.
There should be a period of time when members should do this that starts at the inactive time period (like x time is when you are in danger of being kicked for being inactive).
Maybe even have this be a function of the GAF Guild forums so that all leaders and officers are aware of members taking a break and when they should be back on roughly.
Stormbluff Isle for NA GAF
Gandara for EU GAF
And yes, the other character slots have to be on the same server. I know that ANet was giving free server transfers for the first couple of weeks and they may still be doing so - you could try to switch if it's still free.
stormbluff isle. do the free char xfer
Stormbluff Isle. All created characters stay on the server you chose.
Pretty weird, I've absolutely found 50-60 gear doing it even in story mode at level 60ish.
Think he meant the end chest reward. The hat.

Seen a similar weird bug yesterday, I 100% Plains of Ashford on my second character level 14, and I got level 26 gear not even for my class lol...those rewards for 100% a zone shouldn't be random they should be for your class...

Has anyone done some general write-ups on the explorable dungeons yet? Tips/strats/things to think about?
Here's my write up for Ascalonian Catacombs:
Pick up boulder -> Throw boulder.
Ya, when I saw that I wanted to cry. Everything else I found varied from level 60-80 but vendored for similar amounts so I didn't care. But I'm more excited when I find something I could use than finding stuff I could sell.
Oh, yeah, that's once per dungeon, always the dungeon level. Bizarre that they all look the same too.
Explorable mode has few boulders available to use (if any, can't remember).

This is the best Guild Wars 2 review ever:

Bless you, birgirpall
My suggestion would be to do the plethora of activities on your map around you that give you 100x more EXP than grinding mobs (which the game actually actively discourages by offering very little EXP).
1) Dynamic events
2) Hearts
3) Vistas/Exploration
4) WvW if you so desire
There are literally TONS of things available to you to do, and grinding mobs is the easiest way to play the game and never level up.
