Ugh finally home so I can start downloading it. Hope all the good names aren't taken.
Traits is the most important thing. That determines what you want character to progress towards. Remember you will have 80 points at level 80 so you won't really mess it up much. Just invest in one that you know for sure. You can invest in two complete lines and part of another.
so in the end i went artificer/tailor on my mes... so far not regretting it. i've probably gained at least 2 levels from discovering things in artificing. so far i haven't made anything that i'd want to use, but i'm also only at 25 right now. i did actually use some of the last stuff i made with tailoring. +cnd dmg baby. love it.
Damn, thia game is really fun but a little confusing at first...
The menus, the skills/traits, equipement, quests...
All is presented in a unique way it's really cool but for me it took some time to get used to.
-Like the quests...they're not really quests they're events that occure in which everyone in the vicinity can participate in. Great idea! And from what I saw, you get a kind of "Culture" quest that you can follow that reminds me of the one from Age of Conan. Probably a cool reward at the end?!?!
-Character creation is another cool featuer where you chosse some background aspect about your toon. But as I understand it, on level up you sometimes get Skill Points and sometime don't? Anything else you get when you level up apart from auto stats boost?
-Exploration is somewhat rewarding with skill point "challenges", Vistas, POI scattered around the map and events everywhere.
I started a Norn Warrior named Cromnar on Stormbluff server/world. I'm gonna try my hands on Weapon and Armor smithing.
Anything else I should know about this game?
Can you simply venture around and do events with people there and do nothing else?
At what level can you start PvP/WvW?
10 jute + 3 glittering dust = 8 slot invisible bag.
discovering that will bump you around 3 or 4 levels in crafting, depending on when you do it (maybe more--I think you can first use dust at level 25)
spam the insignias, as each is worth a decent chunk, and use them in discovering. discoveries tend to be better than the given recipes, anyway (and of course greater XP)
10 jute + 3 glittering dust = 8 slot invisible bag.
yeah that's essentially what i've been doing... just making insignias and then making every type of weapon with every modifier for the discovery.
Got my tailoring to around 40, and see I can't even make wool bolts til 75?
It takes a ton of Jute to make the parts... am I looking at farming lvls far under me (all I get now is wool)?
Has anyone had problems with character creation? It won't show the player model when making the character. Unfortunately the GW2 forums are down so I can't get help there.
I have a 6870 with the latest drivers.
pvp isn't about soloing... it's either zerg or small group taking keeps.
