I keep reading on various GW forums that condition damage is the only stat that applies to Engineer turrets, but no one can confirm it. I've been playing a turret heavy engineer build, but focusing on power and precision and using a rifle while putting points into Firearms and Inventions. If condition damage does apply to turrets, I guess I should switch up my stats and weapons, as I've read that using pistols is better for condition heavy builds. Can any Engineers here comment on the relation between turrets and condition damage?

No queues at all in gw2 other then wvwvw.

Servers don't have queuing. If the server is full, you get pushed to an overflow server, where you can still play the game and do your quests.
I was up until 3:30 this morning bitch slapping JQ and Henge with some other gaffers. Hopefully it was worth it.
I don't know if you're referring to wvw specifically or not, but for the regular PvE world, whenever you would normally queue up, you go to an overflow server insttead, where you can still play and progress until the main server is ready, at which point you can hop back with little delay.

I got the quickness.
I could tell that the human story was crap in beta. I enjoyed some of the Sylvari story in beta, mostly for Caithe., The Asuran story is a lot of fun. It's full of fantasy goofery, but there's some good, humorous lines. Reminds me a bit of Skies of Arcadia. More light hearted, more fun.

If I liked GW1 (before expansions), would I like GW2?
mind you that GW1 was the only MMO that I ever played

Not necessarily. It's very, very mechanically different. It's a real MMO, with a persistent world and massive quantities of players at some points. The combat is much more active and position-based, and you can jump.
I loved GW and I love GW2, but besides the world/lore, they have little in common (which I generally applaud; they tried to do something legitimately new).
edit: WvW for an hour last night was outstanding fun with our group. First time I ever didn't have to queue since launch.

I was doing a lot of WvW yesterday for my Monthly (I'm on Henge) and I'm surprised I didn't see any Gaffers aroundkept an eye out for the GAF tag lol.
Still, my first experience with WvW was fun enough that I expect I'll do more WvWing soon
Yeah, WvW is an absolute blast. Once I get my dungeon gear, I'll be doing a lot more of it.

I would add to what Hawkian said by saying by saying you may not like it BECAUSE of GW1 but what drew you too it will likely only be amplified in GW2. The took the spirit, made it fresh and stronger.
Definitely agree.
Mechanically it's a world of difference. As a spiritual seuqel it gives me much the same feeling.
Though there are a few things I do miss, I find it to be a much stronger game overall.
I recommend trying the SweetFX injector.

How are the queue times on Henge? The only way I can console myself from constantly losing to you guys is by assuming your queue times are way worse.
Im having way to much fun with my thief Sylvari.
Iv been messing about with the crafting system and it seems pretty cool but I find myself buying gear and weapons from the TP since its far cheaper than working up to making my own(unless I farm all the Leather). Im just going to assume that this will even out as I get a higher crafting level.
Also what happens to an item when you click "deposit collectibles" while in your invintory screen?

goes to your bank playa, you can access it right from any crafting station.
An hour last night for Eternal Battlegrounds but I hear some are as bad as 3 hours. My theory is that it prioritizes party members over single people in the queue.
Anyway, just found the Claw of Jormag event (while I try to find out how to get into the Fireheart Rise area where CoF is), it's got epic music but it's also bugged :/
in my bug report, I put at the end "ps. epic music" >_> seriously, surprised me when I entered the area

scepter/dagger ele seems really good. (in pve)
It's so stupid easy to run that it hurts. I don't even want CoF armor anymore because everyone is going to be wearing it.
Do you need to complete story first to join an explore run? I want in on this easy armor.
I don't think you actually do (though I can't be sure), but you definitely need to complete it to lead one.
Got some flabbergasting moment, was playing my level 53 human engineer, decided to hunt down some skill points and visit the dungeon in Ascalon. I fought Ascalon people ghosts, I was fighting for them in Guild Wars 1, that's a little weird, but fine I guess. Then when I started going to the dungeon, it's like someone throwing a bucket of water at me. The asshole Charr won't stop talking shit about the massacre human. Not even a words of sympathy... Jesus H. Christ, my noble engineer shouldn't be standing still while the foul mouth trash go on and on about how they genocide my ancestors. >=[
Me: "Oh my noble king, I fought for you and...", Asshole Charr "Your people are dead, your kingdoms is gone, lolol. GET OUT" THE FUCK
Yeah, I know I accidentally brought in a few people into CM Explore without having completed story mode (them I mean, they hadn't completed it), I was tired and clicked explorable mode by accident. Was surprised that the leader could bring in people to explorable mode if they hadn't completed story mode.
They need to make that path comparable to the other two. The other two paths are pretty tough, but the second path is beyond trivial.

They'll just make it harder.
Just started playing this, only real gripe so far is i dont know how to deal with infinitely respawning mobs. Go in cave, kill some bandits, kill some more bandits, first bandits killed respawn, second bandits killed respawn. It's a war of attrition and with no respite from the respawns, i get shit on.
I support that- although, for future tweaks, new explorable paths, etc, I wouldn't be opposed to different runs through dungeons having different levels of token rewards- the faster/easier ones giving less of course.

Hey, if there are speed runs, I have no issue. Flame Legion is the armor I need.
Making it harder would be better than reducing tokens if it has to change.
In fact, if they had a difficulty for each path, and offered more tokens for higher difficulty paths, I'd love that.
Are you in Beggar's Burrow? That place is notorious for its spawns.

Why yes it was, right first time. Me and some other guy were doing pretty good, then suddenly 20 bandits.

Same reason why some people say it's a good area to farm jute scraps. Beggar's Burrow appears to be designed for groups and not intended for soloing through by players just starting out. It's also located in an area where waves of travelers don't pass through. There's even a treasure chest.
I love making TP money off those fine mats XD

Certain areas have really odd respawn rates

Anything I can do about certain areas suffering really badly from the strange transparency issue?

AMD graphics card? I have had issues in lower levels in enclosed spaces, but nowadays I don't come across them.
What transparency issue?

Yep. That's where I farmed jute scraps in the first day of the game.

It's an isolated issue. That isn't the case across the board. There are a couple other places with insane spawn rates, and it can get a bit grueling, but it's not everywhere in the game.
If you're on this evening, send a PM to Ashodin Venteal or Hawkian The Blade and they'll be able to squeeze you into one of the guilds.

I dunno, that ore-rich Ettin cave next to the group of Oakhearts in Queensdale is in contention. We were so happy mining away we didn't notice 8 Ettins breathing on our backs. A random group of 4 of us didn't make it out of there alive.
Edit: ah, saw your edit.
there's another path in AC (Ghosteater) that Achtius showed me, which is also rather farmable.
No more iPad version for me anymore! ^_^ I bought a new video card today. nvidia GTX 560 ti, which is much better than what I had before, and this game looks beautiful for me now
All explore modes are pretty fast once you get it down, and that's for good reason. It's still An insane grind to get a set you, especially if you include weapons. Even CoF. There's two parts that I imagine make cof faster than most, fix those before you start to give less tokens. Theyre Already a pain.
