Is there a list of officers who can invite for the Gaf guild on Dominion, Orias server?

Just dinged 50. ~7 Days, 1 hour and 28 minutes. Took my time while leveling. I really enjoy readING the quest text and dialogues, and while not necessarily 100%'ing the zones, I still took my time and explored, etc. Still loving the game.

7 days!? I got it in 50 hours, but didn't read any quests or lore.
Now...about your 95p, I'm stuck after the Architect nerf.

Not mine lol. It's a screenshot I grabbed off of reddit.

For those doubting warrior's power, I'm 47 now and the tier 8 boost for relentless strikes pretty much gives you sustainable, good dps. Completely changes the warrior game. Also scaling pretty hard with my weapons, able to destroy a lot of classes quickly in pvp. Anticipating hitting 50 tomorrow.
Also pick up festering strike and power link, I think those two are the best pvp amps for a warrior by far.
Anyone have a good checklist of things to do at 50?

Just as a warning to everyone, gold spammers are starting to send 1 copper with the mail so you can't delete it. Do not take the 1 copper, as it might flag your account as accepting money from a gold seller and someone on reddit got banned for it. Instead, just do /ignore spammername and it will remove the mail from your mailbox even with the money.
Wow, really? I hope I don't regret taking the 1 copper I took yesterday then. I've had 3 in my inbox so far, 2 yesterday and 1 today.
Protip: They don't read mails.

I love this game I just wish I had more time to play. Every time I log off I wish I didn't have to. Have a lvl 16 Mechi Engineer and he's pretty cool so far, haven't died too many times.

That is pretty decent. A similar thing happened at 45 to Stalker. Once you can max Shred and Neutralize you really start bringing down the house. On the 5th hit of Neutralize you have the potential to burst for about 18k tech damage, if both the neutralize and the 5 stack proc crit, all of which is aoe. At about that same time your AW comes off cd and you can have all 3 together to gib someone.

I wish I liked warriors. Awesome damage and they look bad ass. Got one to 18 and just started getting bored of the combat.
Actually haven't found a class I really like so far. Played all but the stalker. Esper is the closest. Hoping the Devs come out and say what changes they have in mind for them. Supposedly it will be in patch #2 whenever that may be. Really like the game but may have to bail if I can't find a class soon. Maybe starting over on a Gaf server would help. Playing solo specially doing adventures is always a chore.

I'm Exile on Widow. Perhaps it's just the time you play. I think it's far more even than you think. Also you guys have way better settlers than we do. I have to personally power every settler deposit I get to. While the dominion ones are always fully powered.
Warrior or Stalker is my choice, although spellslingers do look appealing, I haven't tried them. I don't think you can solo Adventures. At least not that first one, that last boss was hard even for a 5 man team.

Yea I've should've done that, but I didn't. I just grinded away like I did with Tera. SWTOR kind of spoiled me. The story quests were very good, things like the imperial agent, assassin, and even the guardian were all good stuff. Not exactly KOTOR as they claimed, but still enough to keep you engaged. A pity the rest of the game wasn't up to par. That isn't here. Despite what some zealots want you to believe. Fortunately it seems like the game excels in other areas.
That's the problem, I gave the game the benefit of the doubt. I read EVERYTHING, from datacrons to little journals. I read it all. I am a lore junkie. I'm also level 50. About 3% of the questing is "fun side stuff", the other 97% is go here and kill this or go here and click/collect this. That isn't hyperbole, if I'm off in that percentage it is not by much. That isn't good questing. I have few problems with the game, but to defend the questing is just blindly defending the game despite it's faults. There's a lot the game does right, the questing is not one of those. Once you get into the 40's and every kill is 3% of 100%, or in the most egregious cases a pack of three mobs is 7% of 100% the grind really starts to bring you down.

Wildstar has some mind-bogglingly obvious additions that I haven't seen in other MMOs:
A sprint key!
Phonecalls to NPCs!
Objective markers for everything so far!
Active combat!
(Edit: Forgot that defeating boss-esque enemies in caves makes all other enemies there neutral, as well as the small little mini-games throughout the game. Both are nice additions.)
Chua!
The last MMO I played, Star Wars: The Old Republic, made an enemy of its players through its quest design and overall structure, whereas Wildstar seems to be the opposite, at least so far.
Maybe I'm just out of touch with MMOs, but it seems like Wildstar is one of the few that actually tries to make the gameplay fun. It just seems like there's a whole big world out there with lots to do. It's exciting, interesting, and comeplling in a way that few MMOs are.
Overall, I'm liking it so far - but I am still on the guest key right now. Leaning towards pulling the trigger and becoming a cupcake.

This is one of the most completed MMO's at release. At endgame you have 5 veteran adventures, 4 veteran dungeons which are hard, 20 and 40 man raids which feature different bosses. For PVP you have BG, 2v2/3v3/5v5 Arenas with ratings and Warplots which are 40v40 battles where you build your fortress.
The amount of content is crazy in this game.
What do you mean? They're cheap at Auction House?

I'm starting to wish I started a Stalker. I'm so sick of having to stop and deal with trash mobs all of the time. It'd be nice to breeze on by them all of the time.
How much time do you think it takes to earn enough gold to buy Credd?
Yes.
2 hours of farming at max level, tops. At least on my server. I've heard some have much more expensive credd, lower pop ones mostly.

Uh...no, there's things to do, see, share, earn; lots of things to potentially do.
Wow...feel like I should buy the game now just to stockpile game time...
trial just ran out
Ballin. I still think Engi tier 1 looks the best, that robot face man.
3 days off work! Time to get to 50 from lvl 10?
Edit: Hell far, server maintenance
How much are they on yours?
Edit: Hell far, server maintenance
About 2.5-3.5 plat depending on if you want to buy order or instantly buy one. fluctuates throughout the day. It was like 6 plat the first day and dropped fast.
Going for 5p on mine.
So, my feeble attempt to make future plats was buying 2 Raidin' Handwraps for 12 gold total. I'm hoping the set pieces will become super rare as we get further away from beta. I won't lose money at least. I have all my money to play with locked out tho since I'm still level 10.. Too bad I couldn't by a chest or helm to sit on. Maybe I'll wait 10 years!!
I'd suggest buying the whole set to sit on. Those of you that have multiplats to play with would have considered that already tho.
All of this is in The Secret World. But yes, it is a very good additions to mmo's.
A highly underappreciated game - GW2 did literally all the same shit but worse. Still love TSW.
I really enjoyed questing in TSW, and should go back as apparently they added a whole new zone (Tokyo). I played TSW as a grandmaster since early beta for about 8 months after release.
the major drawn back (for me) was the terrible PVP, they tried to change it three times while I played - first changing the way the cap points worked, then limiting the number of people that could participate and finally nerfing the hell out of the "marks" you would get for spending time in the zone instead of for capping/defending.
I also think the customization of the characters with the hundreds of abilities is much more detailed and flushed out in TSW although when I played there were only a few builds that really worked well.
I'm really enjoying wildstar so far and hope it will resonate with me as TSW did.
I'm still mulling over buying a 12 month sub for wildstar. I like the cheaper if you buy longer concept but at the same time if it doesn't hold my interest then I've chosen the wrong thing to do.
tldr: TSW pretty great too, might buy a year sub to wildstar.
Dont forget double jump. I dont know why, but it has changed everything for me. I am loving the double jump.
They nerfed Engineer Bolt Caster/Bioshell combos, I guess it was going to happen anyway. But I'm a bit pissed they still haven't commented on fixing the bug where Bolt Caster will reset your BS cooldown if it goes into the negative.
Ok thanks, I'll try to pm someone when I'm on. (not too often these days because exams)

Nerf is okay, the thing is ridicolous.. but fix the goddamn bug before going through with the nerf, dammit.

And most of it was in Age of Conan before that. Poor Funcom... no one understands them.
