You can always go to the Amazon PCDD thread and beg Tony for another Guild Wars 2 sale. I know I'd buy another copy for my friend who has also been waiting for a price drop.

Not a bad idea!

Anyone interested in a mainly WvW oriented guild (we have the numbers but working at becoming more organized), check out one of the guilds in the NEO Alliance. It's based on the Kaineng server.

In Rethesis specifically, WvW is not mandatory but many of the players are in the guild just for it. We host a fight club in WvW as well (people gather for 1v1 duels on part of the map while members from the servers look on and cheer/jeer.) Rethesis' WvW start time is 4pm PST, its when everyone kinda meets to go zerging together, though you are welcome to play anytime and, again, its not mandatory. Most people in the guild do fractals and dungeons before 4pm and then into the night as they drop off of WvW.

We're at about 350 active members so we've got room for quite a few more people. So if you enjoy WvW to any degree and my guild spam sounded interesting to you let me know your in game name and I can talk to you a little more about it and potentially hook you up with an invite.

Being a newb to not only this game (1 lvl 33 char.) but the genre in general (this is my first MMO) are there any people here that would want to group to do dungeons? Or what is the best way to get a group together? I have a buddy that plays but we don't know anyone else that plays and we wanted to try a couple of the dungeons out. Thanks.

I'm game, but my highest level is 10 at the moment. lol

www.gw2lfg.com

its a great tool/site.

though i do warn you, people may not be so receptive to a level 33 since the lowest dungeon is level 35, and even then most people want fully geared 80s.

AC Story is 30 but unfortunately one of the harder dungeons.

Thanks for the info. I knew I was pretty low, but this is good information going forward!

Which is stupid because the place was fine until they ed with the design. I remember going from 30-40 in about 9-10 runs of that place and it was just a fun, light grind. Then the designer got all pissy because people were clearing it too easily (read: fast) and decided to add silver mobs all over the place just to slow players down. Do you think he bothered to test his rubbish? Nope, and I bet almost nobody bothers now unless they have an 80 holding their hand.

AC has always been considered one of the hardest dungeons, since launch.

Yeah, I was thinking of CM, not AC. My bad.

Do not buy a serial off ebay, I made that mistake a few months ago and then about a week after I started playing they banned my account stating that I bought the key with a stolen credit card which I did not do. They said I would have to provide another key to prove I was legit. Oh I just now got around to buying a brand new hard copy of the game so they can't go and say I bought it with a stolen credit card.

You will very rarely see any group from gw2lfg actually form a group for a story mode of any dungeon except Arah.

So my girlfriend wants to play with me! Yay. It's $30 on amazon download Wednesday, so we're gonna grab a copy and get busy.

My issue. I'm on a full server (forget the name, but it's the unofficial RP server). I believe if I were to switch, it now costs money, right? But meanwhile, I don't know if she'll ever be able to get onto my server. I don't want to bother with the guesting crap tho. I want us to be on the same server.

Also, she's British. We're buying an American version since she's here in the US. When she returns to England, will she still be able to sign on to our US server?

Sorry, lots of questions.

yes, but you'll be logging in to the US, so lag.

I may pick it up from that sale. Thanks for the heads up. Missed that it included GW2. I'm kind of burned out on WoW again. I've been catching up on my backlog, but I may pick this up.

Two of my friends and I just bought this game because of the recent sales. We quit WoW fully after a very long time and we were looking for a new MMO to keep us occupied and this looked like a good bet. We haven't played it all that much so far, we created some characters and only did the intro quest to get familiarized with the races, classes, controls, etc.

We're now ready to roll fresh characters and level together. My question is, is it even possible to do this easily? I found out how to get to a different race's starting zone, but it seems as if questing in this isn't like a traditional MMO. You have your main class quests and then some random event quests around the world? I know you can do the class quests with people of other classes but you don't get rewards for it. Do we have to constantly port back and forth between all of our class quests just so we can all get quest rewards? If that's true, it doesn't seem very party friendly and they want you to level solo. I'm hoping I'm just missing something in all this.

Here is the thing about AC that people seem to miss constantly: It is the first dungeon instance, and for 30 levels most people have not been in a group like what is required for this instance. This dungeon was designed to make you realize the strengths and weaknesses of each class, and how to better work around them with a party structure.

I myself didn't think it was to hard, hell I feel the way about the lvl 50 dungeon story that people seem to feel about AC. I avoided that one with a passion after finally completing it.

It's extremely easy. The personal story quests start to converge around level 30 depending on your choices, but they aren't the only way to level, and in fact it's not possible to level to 80 strictly doing them. Otherwise, wander through the zones looking for hearts, dynamic events, and zone-wide group events for experience. If you stay in level appropriate zones you'll level at a nice pace and still have plenty of content for any other characters you want to make.
