Whaaaa? Fort Trinity is like the craziest looking structure ever!
I've really enjoyed my time sneaking around Orr alone, picking off weak groups. With a group of 5-10 I bet it's a blast.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Honestly, I'm an ele and I wouldn't consider myself even close to the best gamer and I do alright with it. I would probably suck at PVP but for PVE I do alright. I will admit that I have been afraid to go with y'all into explorable dungeons and whatnot just because I am afraid I'll suck but I'll probably build more confidence in my skills as I get close to 80.
I think he means the orange circles with shields in them that you stand by for 2 minutes before you realize they're not moving.
Ruins of Orr.
So is there no way to remove runes that are already slotted into armor without destroying the rune?
Slotted some Runes of Soldier last night but now I'm starting to believe that stacking vitality and toughness outside of traits is pointless.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could update us as you play more with your alt. It will help decide my class choice.

ok about to chose a server now:
So the one i pick NOW will be permanent unless i pay to have change it later correct?
also: For the EU servers, does the language change with the server or is that only a setting within the client or a matter of which client you chose to download?
Just making sure i won't gimp myself later...

I'm almost level 50 on my Elementalist and I thought it was pretty badass until I started up a Warrior... then a Guardian... then a Thief. All of these classes seem much more badass, don't require nearly as much running around like a crazed chicken, and don't demand you to juggle 20 hotkeys all while being the squishiest class in the game.
Dagger Dagger Ele's seem to do fine. I can't play em myself though can't stand the cool down management while you can't see the skills.

Well, that's just cynical. They'll get the game to some semblance of balance given enough time and effort if they're competent at it. (If they're not, well, them's the breaks!)
I was just reinforcing it.
Really weird when people assume you're being contrary when you're not. What's up with that?
I'm not sure cynical is the right word but yeah I'm pessimistic that they will. There are just too many variables and options in a game like this for it to ever truly be balanced and not favor certain group compositions. That's a reality of the genre more than anything.
Sorry if I came off aggressive, it's hard to tell when people are being contrary in an MMO thread.

I actually like Orr too, so far - a lot of spectacular landscapes going on, and the loss of hearts is a plus to gameplay, in my opinion
Yeah, the enemies can be annoying as hell, but it carries the warzone feel pretty well. What nice things are there to expect from completing lower level maps with 80?
I'm pretty sure initiative acts like 2 seperate pools of resource on different sets. So you could essentially equip the same weapons and be able to use the same abilities 2x as much?
I don't have a thief, I saw a video of one with 2 dagger/dagger sets.

I take it you haven't played GW1 before. PvP in that game was normally well balanced despite there being far FAR more combinations from the dual class system with 8 skills.
Yeah, I wish drops scaled better to your level. :/
Granted, that means you can still farm up copper if you need it, but I'd prefer to be getting at least level 70 stuff with my 80.

Nothing.
Not saying it to be negative since I know I'll get jumped on, but it's the truth. You don't get anything worthwhile. Nothing scales in this game except for random equipment drops. Trash drops, completion rewards, most chest rewards, exp rewards, don't really scale.
If you havent played in awhile thats good, i feel like this game works best when you take small breaks
What the fuck is up with the laughing and cheering people in Divinity's Reach? It's not like every NPC is happy and cheery, the background sound of that place just insists on playing the sound of two or three people laughing and cheering, loudly, all over the important parts of the city. It's unbearable!
Decent chunk of money, experience, and some materials.
The equipment you get may or not be particularly useful though. I just salvaged it or sold it on the TP if it could be sold quickly for a decent price.
While I'm all for doing low level zones for the exploration, calling the money or experience decent is just mean. You get like 10 silver for those things, they take HOURS to finish. You could go farm mobs in orr for 10 minutes and double that. The XP is about the same as doing a dynamic event. And those 40 soft wood logs are about 80 copper on the ah.
I'm just saying, that stuff is virtually useless aside from progress towards world completion.
Um, no.
Initiative is tied the Thief not the weapons.
Going double weapons is for a build with the Trait "Quick Pockets" from the Acrobatics line. When you weapon swap while in combat you get 3 Initiative. This lets you spam the same moves a bit more.
If you hate fun, just speed run through CoF for the rest of your days. 29s+ per run, 1 skill point every 2 runs, and tokens for a free level 80 exotic set are kind of too good to pass up if you have more time than sense.
Well personally, the completion is just a result of going around and doing stuff, I like to complete maps in games but just for fun, not to get a great reward. I find the money and experience useful on top of what I've already gotten as I was completing the map regardless of my level (mostly because I feel like I'm constantly broke in this game, so I'll always appreciate even just 10 silver), but I could honestly take or leave the rest.
I must admit though, some of the materials were a little useful for me, moreso than they may be for others, because I tackled all that stuff kinda late and didn't do a lot of harvesting until I really got into it.

Oh fuck, what in the hell is this sound the human female makes with a greatsword - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHKYxx7lcsQ
IT'S RUINING MY GUARDIAN.
Topic on the main forums as well - https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/bugs/Female-Human-Greatsword-sounds
Surely can't be intentional, it's completely out of place from the other sounds.

I thought it was awesome. Maybe not inthe right way though? The game seems to have a really oddball sense of humor sometimes.
I need advise on the CM explorable dungeon. As in wat. Did AC story and the ghost eater stuff and it is hard but figure out the point and it is do-able. CM first option line though I have no idea.
I sort of get it, through all the sneaking to get to Frost. But then Frost is insane, hits hard and has that ice torch. Anyone figure this one out yet? We got as far as, Frost gets stuck shooting in a direction once he fires, so try to circle strafe. He does instant 180s though before he fires, so I'm at a loss. Is this just an issue of gear up?

So, I've noticed a couple posts indicating some controller support through drivers. Any good? How is it for PvP? I can't imagine it's as good as a mouse and keyboard.

this game is amazing when I was leveling, but after being 80 for a bit, i discovered that it is lacking in end game content and incentive...
ugh its so bad that i dont even feel like playing that much anymore.

If it's faster I might gear up my guardian with TA.

I just got gear checked for CoF run. Haha. People are really serious about doing it fast. > .>
Is that an acutal line for player characters? Because I already hate it and I stay away from everything human at this point.

Just bought the T2 human cultural for my Thief. Looks so awesome. I could only afford the coat and mask for now:
It's huge and there's a ton of stuff to find. The negatives for me is that a lot of the things for you to find are clearly marked on a map and that there are loads between zones.

GW2 world is pretty big. I have yet to see everything after 170 hours of play. Also, the event system is a great way to lose track of time and get distracted from what you're doing. I was exploring timberline falls after doing an event chain and found a cave. I explored it, found a chest, and got the Only Zuhl achievement. Neat.
Then I tried to find a way out.
I had to drop down into a big open area filled with lava and lots of sharp drops. I ran into a destroyer swarm, an event involving you just "surviving the attack". After that, I walked into a chamber with a massive destroyer boss and a group event started up. Oh man, I had to stay on my toes to keep from getting killed. I ended up dying to a lava fountain popping up under my feet. :/
