Re: Guild Wars 2

Is that Eye of the North? Because I'm barely starting Prophecies. XD

But I'll stop asking now since it seems I'm about to jump into a sea of spoilers.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Wait, how is Gwen the reason Ascalon fell? She was too young at the time to have any impact I thought. Plus the Charr stole the land from the humans during the searing...

Anyways, Raydeus, while you're running around with Gwen, before you take your first mission, you should try to earn what's called the "Defender of Ascalon" title by reaching level 20. See here: Defender of Ascalon - GuildWiki, the unofficial Guild Wars wiki

It'll make the first 70% of the game easy as pie too since you'll be way overleveled.

Actually, on second thought, the wiki says it takes 101 days to get it with the fastest method available. Forget it lol you'll grow tired of the game by then.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Oh nice.

It sounds kinda grindy but it will let me learn how to play better and clear all the quests available while I get to 20.

It says 101 days if you don't kill anything and just do quests, but complementing Vanguard with mob farming should make things much faster I hope..

Just one question, since I can just delete and remake my char to save the quest xp for later (have only played like 6 hours so far so I wont lose anything remaking.) If I make another test character to advance the story line can I send the better weapons and armor I get back to my pre-searing char?


and if everything fails and I get bored of it I'll just have a well geared lvl 10+ char for moving forward.

Before Ascalon was there, it was charr homeland. The humans stole the charr homeland from the charr, that is why the charr are so agressive towards humans.

Can't send anything to your pre-searing character.

Ah, yeah, I was unaware that the Charr actually owned the land first. Did I miss this plot point in EOTN or is it just in the lore somewhere?

As for moving items between characters, it's definitely possible but as Takelli said unfortunately you can't send anything to your pre-searing (pre-first mission) characters. Sad. Once you are in the next section of the game you can transfer items between characters all you want.

I would suggest continuing on with this character for now, then create a new character after you've played through the game if you decide you want the 'Defender of Ascalon' title. Otherwise, you'll get bored with using the same skills, equipment, etc. over and over again for 50-100 days.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Hmmm...

I'm actually interested in getting that title for many of the reasons listed in the wiki. Plus I only have 5 weeks before 11.11.11, after that I'm probably going to spend the next 500+ game-time hours doing nothing but killing dragons and looking for rare plants.

So might as well spend my limited GW time on something relatively worth it in.

Or dye trying.

I believe it is somewhere in the lore. I learned about it when I started doing my research for GW2, as the Charr have completly taken back their homeland in GW2, after a few wars.

Crazy! Can't wait to hear even more about the story when GW2 comes out!

Just google Guild Wars 2 forum, and you can find almost anything on there.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Ok, I restarted my Mesmer char and went with Ranger/hunter skills (wont be finishing the second job for a while.)

Someone I met while trying to get the Rez quest done gave me a nice staff with illusion bonuses, and also told me about the /bonus command. Got an imp pet that's wicked strong which made it way easier for me to level up fast (only lvl 4 right now, but no quest xp involved for the most part.) Again, this game is waaaaay more welcoming than others. <_<

Let's see if I can get lvl 20 in 5 weeks. /yay

That's partly why I love it so much, instead of imposing odd restrictions in the name of being 'hardcore,' they make it a fun challenge to achieve the hardest goals. However I'm still not a fan of how much grinding you gotta do just to get a title. Oh well, just the same as in other MMO's.

Eh. There are titles on your way of getting titles as you grind, and you can show those off atleast lol.

Hey, you know, at least all it is is a title and not something else like, you can't get the highest level or best weapon unless you get to lvl 20 in pre-searing... so, in that respect, I don't mind.

So very, very true. That's what I like about ANet. I wouldn't mind if they gave a cosmetic item for doing so, but the tittle itself is enough.

Re: Guild Wars 2

So.... I think I'm going to end up playing Mesmer again. <_<


Also, I still haven't forgotten about that cool title, but with Skyrim out I'm wondering when I'll be able to get it. <_<;
