Guild Wars II GAME RELEASE happened a while ago

This forum is specifically for discussing non-Mafia games
(board, card, video, we're not picky)
.

such games should happen in the Mish Mash forum, of course.

I thought leveling was too fast as well, the exp you get from hitting poi's, vistas, etc was crazy, plus gathering..

If you listen to these people, they'll tell you you're not playing the game right, and that you should stop everything you're doing, spend some time doing crafting or WvW or going to lower level zones until you're at the level the game wants you to be to continue story quests and new zones.

I did this during the early level zones pretty consistently. From 15 on I found it really effective to take a vanilla WoW strat of leveling in two zones for each level zone (example: Kessex and wildlands at the same time), bouncing back and forth a bit throwing some story quests in when you can. Only now in frostgorge am I actually having issues keeping up because fuck Orr. Yeah, I said it.

WvW is crazy exp too.

Don't know if anyone else had this experience, but while doing the heart quest for Carmel in Mount Maelstrom, she gives you this fire extinguisher gun used to clear some stuff on the ground, but it kills all the enemies in two hits. I lost it when I went swimming, but if you can get it back, it is pretty cool mowing stuff down like that.

Do you guys do any dungeons? Despite my pretty bad gear they sound pretty cool. Right now I'm level 70, is that high enough to do any of them?

You don't need any gear for story modes, and most explorables are ok, but the 65+ explorables usually have some form of gear check in them.

So I got an achievement for getting 1-shot by a dargen (The claw of jormag, to be precise).

I also realized that I need ten billion everything to get Twilight
Then I'll need ten more billion everything to get Sunrise

And then I'll combine them to get Eternity
(the last two parts, probably not - depending on how much my innate 80% magic find helps me in cutting down the grinding speed)

I'm convinced you guys are never online...

Anyone have any tips/tricks for the lvl 75-80 areas other than get better gear? It's terribly slow going with so few people exploring.

I don't think you need good gear at all - I had mosly level 6x stuff and I did just fine. However, Orr is not designed to be a leveling zone - frostgorge is. Also, get your disciplines to 400 if possible, switch to other disciplines if not in case you really want to hit 80 fast.

I think I might need to redo my skills and add some defensive stats to my gear. Right now I just stack power and crit, but it might be time to throw some toughness in the mix. I'm almost to level 80, already itching to try another char.

What profession does the best AOE damage? I'm a longbow/greatsword ranger now which is a lot of fun, but is not very good against multiple enemies unless I manage to get them to follow me and I can shoot through 3 or 4 of them at a time.

It seems I'm under lvled as well for each area I go too... Guess I gotta do more events or something (I like to clear the area of all waypoints, area of interests, etc.). Also, the game is much harder to do solo, even when you are over leveled. I was about 10 levels down leveled, and I still get killed easily (as in 2 hit KO). Probably has to do with wearing rawhide gear and stacking precision instead of toughness. However, I still love the engineer class w/ rifle and rocket launcher.

For AOE, isn't the elementalist profession the best at that?

So, I'm trying to log onto the Support Site, and apparantly, my Support password is different from my game password for some reason? Also, I don't know what my support password is, and you aren't allowed to recover it until after you've entered it, so am I just fucked?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

It's not like it's a game you literally need to be living on. Even if it is ridiculously awesome.

I really need to level my albino asura. (she's fucking adorable)
but the dialogue of the area annoys me, so much autism

NO way.
I love it.
I love it and abhor it at the same time.
It's an interesting relationship.
