Meanwhile, us lowly noobs who've been mainlining PvE are barely breaking lv 20

People are gonna hit the level cap before the game is even officially released. I thought it'd take a month to get more objective thoughts about the game but at this pace I might get a sober review as early as next week!

 

[pocahaunted]

Who gives a shit about people hitting the cap? It's inconsequential.

How would one go about joining this supposed Codexian guild?

Are you referring to how the game unlocks all skills and gives you all the best equipment when you PvP? True. For a second there, I thought the "RPG" part of MMORPG might actually mean something!

American server is Yak's Bend.

Codex Guild is researching improvements as well. Soon we can design our glorious Guild Emblem.

So codex guild is in yaks bend? Just making sure

there seem to be two at the moment. There's the Codex Decline Squad on Yak's bend if you're in the kwa. You can prolly contact sovard for that. The Kodex Kool Krew are on Seafarer's rest in EU. I can toss you an invite. Or Berekän can. Or suicidebunny.

So is this official? You nigs need to get more organized. Seems like a piss poor effort. Where's the leadership? Do you think you're going to WIN this way?

If I ever play this I don't want to be on the same guild as HHR

is it just me or does double clicking on an enemy only work when it feels like it

edit: i guess right click does it

Yeah, just r-click, or click once to select and choose the skill you want to use, that can be better if you are opening with a debuff/disable rather than primary attack.

 

[DakaSha]

man the cutscenes are REALLY ruining the immersion on this shit. Why the fuck is destruan the badass necro with no feelings talking with these fags like hes a bro. Pissing me off

 

[Zed]

Don't teach a newbie bad manners right away man!

 

[DakaSha]

[Angthoron]

What cutscenes?

 

[SuicideBunny]

i think he means the cinematic conversations. and yeah, they do suck.

Yes they suck HORRIBLY and i do not understand how they think they were a good idea. Obviously they arent important but fuck me do they piss me off

 

[SuicideBunny]

they prolly thought that people skipping all the carefully written text in gw1 was bad, and the carefully written text needed to be more in your face, also more majestic... and cinematic... and fully voiced...

Apparently they also thought level scaling was a good idea

I am enjoying it, although I am only level 20 Human Guardian. There were couple of times when I couldn't find new events or was always late to the party, left running around like a headless chicken so I wasted some time. Nevertheless I like this event / quest system, which feels more as a group activity rather than solo, especially right now when low level areas are populated.

I've selected armorsmithing as my first craftsmanship, but I am extremely short on Jutes and crude salvaging didn't provide satisfactory results so I'll try to switch to journeyman's kit. According to gw2 wiki these jutes can be found on bandits so I'll guess I'll have to dedicate some time to farm them up so I can finally reach 75 skill level.

What does the guild provide for the player? What are the benefits in terms of mechanics of joining the guild? I'll message you in game Ulminati in the evening when I get home.

not that different from gw1's low level cap, though i would have preferred it and the good old hunting for skills over the new system, though hunting for skillpoints instead isn't that bad. at least some are actually difficult to get.

First 80 in this game. Took around 32 hours.

Anyone remembers how long it took for first person to reach max level in previous game of the month, Diablo 3?

edit: Found answer myself, took 43 hours to max in Diablo 3.

Whats bad are the Charr story scenes. Everything is like something out of a horrible 80's action movie. Its all "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum" lines with army/tribe macho bullshit thrown in. If I recall an exact line - "I want a barrel of whiskey and you dead... And I'm gonna that second one now!" said with horrible monotonous stoic voice acting. Yeah... People get paid for this...

Also just me or does the game just throw so much loot at you that its just ridiculous? I mean I'll be killing simple basic enemies my level and its just a none stop items that I would want to loot if my bags weren't constantly full... Is this a way to con me into buy more bag/bank/storage space?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Do you know how long it took to reach max level in Guild Wars 1? Not long.

Do you know how much it meant to reach max level in Guild Wars 1? Fuck-all.

 

[Whisper]

Most of the crowd - since it got so much hype it attracted wow-players and other streamlined target audience - in GW2 wont pvp much, except sticking to zergs, hi.
Once they run out of PvE content and they will run out soon, they will move. Question what would be game of the month for crowds, D3-GW2-next (call-of-duty?)?

 

[Angthoron]

Why do you care, bro? People in this thread surely don't.
