A Monk refuses to be bullied by a Warrior ...

Nice idea - but bad method.

I'll leave the aftermath to your imagination.

I farm solo ... Mo/W, Mo/Me are good farmers. I've heard good farming builds with Warrior and Elementalist primaries, too, but I never farmed with them.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but once I saw it I completely laughed my ass off. I'm glad that Guild Wars has a sense of humor.

For those of you who don't know where that's from or what Killroy Stonekin is refered to...you might want to google Leeroy Jenkins. :)

Lmao indeed.

Donations excepted! (Jaina the Princess) =P

JK! :P

longbough 12-08-2005 10:15 AM

lol - yeah I noticed when I first saw that dwarf.

Here's another easter egg:

- In the Ice Cave mission ending cutscene Evennia (in white) is escorted by 7 dwarves.

dun_ask 12-08-2005 10:36 AM

haha wow I didn't notice that, I wonder if there are anymore eggs like those?

Aaaaah, that bitmap picture is insane. 2.3 megs for 1 picture. Please try to post jpegs instead as they're a lot smaller.

Funny pic though :D

just open your BMP file in MS Paint and save it as a JPG. Then send it back to whatever online photo album you're using and edit your post with the new file.

so i've had the game for a lil while, but only recently started playing it, whats the top level in this levle 20? and if soo how do u get better if ur level 20?

Coppertop 12-20-2005 04:31 PM

Yes, 20 is the current level cap, but you can still gain attribute points after that. You'll also most likely to hit level 20 long before reaching the later cities & areas in the game, enabling access to the best skills, arms & armor.

dun_ask 12-23-2005 10:30 AM

xmas season is here, and ascalon actually looks PRETTY!

After level 20 you still have skills you can acquire ... after that there isn't much more to acquire other than equipment and money. But it's not as bad as it might seem ... because your skill as a 20th level character depends on "building" an effective combination of skills and character subclasses (you can only equip 8 skills at a time)... everyone has their own style of play and their own theory ... so no two 20th level characters are alike (unless both are copycatting builds they read online). You learn weaknesses and strengths of other players' styles which you must consider when playing against others or when supporting other players in a party.

I like this method much better than games that allow people to grind up to level 200, or something. GW forces you to think and plan ... also you can experiment with different builds all the time. My primary monk character has several "builds" that I designed myself for my style of playing ... Through experimentation I have some "secret" strengths that give me certain advantages in many situations (no doubt other people have their "secrets" too).

People actively debate on the best way for, say, a monk to use his skills - whether he's mainly a smiter, a healer, protector or any combination of the above ... and which skills are best to emphasize in each area ... then there's the role of the monk's subclass (mesmer, necromancer, warrior, ranger, elementalist ....) and how that might help a monk to maintain high energy (mana) stores - or how to use those skills to make his/her other skills even more effective.... the power of combinations is almost limitless.

If you're a level 20 who defeats someone else (also level 20) in PvP it's much more satisfying since you know it's your skill as a player that allowed you to dominate - not just who has the better hit points, damage and armor class.

SiNai 12-25-2005 09:20 PM

Another quick easter egg- I'm sure most of you have already noticed- All the Rodgort's spells? Spell it backwards. :)

hehe never knew about Trogdor, but you learn something new everyday :)

GW sure does have a good sense of humor.

Of course! I knew that was oddly familiar! Though in my defense I havn't had seen or thought about trogdor in quite awhile.

Apokx 12-27-2005 09:03 PM

Anyone have a link to reliable info about the upcoming expansion?

Krycheck 01-30-2006 12:06 PM

I just got this game this weekend and I'm hooked!! I'll have to read thru this whole thread now! :crazy:

I didnt know what to call my character so..

hey Kostya did you get a chance to try out GW: Faction?

Kostya 01-31-2006 03:30 PM

I tinkered a little, the Assassin looks like a great profession I must say.

Krycheck 01-31-2006 04:03 PM

I was wondering. Is there a Tfp guild of some sort? I need to get hooked up with one.

Kostya 02-03-2006 07:30 AM

Ah the sweet embrace of Guild Wars addiction wraps around me once more. I totally almost forgot how great this game was when I gave it up for two months when I was writing my thesis. Basically I haven't played since just after Sorrow's Furnace came out. I haven't done the missions for Sorrows, but I did get one of my characters to Deldrimor War Camp. I'm hoping to get my Ranger through the basic storyline and cap his good elites before Faction comes out.
Right now I just need to get to Dunes of Despair before completing the desert missions. I did them all with henchmen last time, but a ranger isn't quite as easy as an elementalist.
I love rangering, but I still think my original N/Me was the most fun ever, minion after minion after minion, I used to love altruistically helping out people in Ascalon as a level 20, just so I could minion the hell out of those early missions for fun.
After three roleplaying characters, I don't think I'm up for doing it all over again, plus I want to leave an opening for a PvP character for when I want to compete.

Kostya 03-03-2006 10:37 PM

Another Easter egg I only just noticed.

I've played every profession except Warrior, nothing against them, I just never got around to it I guess, but during a PVP match my opponent used a move called 'Bonetti's Defense' which is what Westley, aka The Man in Black, aka The Dread Pirate Roberts uses against Innigo Montoya during their duel in "The Princess Bride"

I love that movie.

dksuddeth 03-07-2006 03:03 PM

My son and I have this game but we've been unable to play for a month now. Seems that we're unable to connect to the GW servers but I cannot find any issue at all on my system and GW tech support says it's a network issue. Anyone on Comcast experiencing issues?

Only thing I can think of would be a firewall issue.



So who else here got in on the trader reset? I got 13 Superior Runes of Absorption, 10 Superior Runes of Vigor, and 20 Obsidian Shards for less than 10k.

And right now I'm stuck on a load screen because the servers got overloaded.

MageB420666 03-13-2006 03:39 PM

OH MY FUCKING GOD! I am soooo pissed right now its not even funny.....

Just so yall know, that was me that posted the above statement. I was on AlmoundJoy's laptop and couldn't remember my password.

Turns out the trader reset was a server error, and instead of letting us keep the stuff, they are reseting the game back to before the error. I just LOST all that stuff.

Krycheck 03-13-2006 03:40 PM

I need help with the Dukes Daughter quest. I keep getting my ass handed to me 90% into it!!

Anyone wanna help me?

Kostya 03-14-2006 01:58 AM

I'd be happy to help, but being in Australia I'm usually on at about 5am US time.

Siege 03-14-2006 09:24 AM

I remember that quest. It indeed was a tough one. I remember that for some reason, I had an extra Spoiler: urn of althea's ashes and i managed to sell it for a pretty high price :D

dun_ask 03-14-2006 10:28 AM

I hear ya bro, I got owned with the server reset too. SUCKS! Dude I bought so much shit that I didn't even need.

MageB420666 03-14-2006 03:54 PM

This is AlmoundJoy18 and me hanging out after I showed her a run.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...id21/gw005.jpg]

Kostya 03-15-2006 03:29 AM

Where are you guys there?

MageB420666 03-15-2006 01:32 PM

Near the first portal on the run from Grendich Courthouse to Yak's Bend. AlmoundJoy just started running and I was showing her how to go through that area without having to deal with any gargoyles.

Kostya 03-16-2006 04:25 AM

Ah thought it looked like Old Ascalon

Never done any running myself, since I've never had a Warrior, and because I'm one of those 'just do it' kind of annoying types.

MageB420666 03-16-2006 05:37 AM

I used to do a lot of running, I can run most places in the game... except for the Several of the runs in the S. Shiverpeaks. Now I mainly farm, either for greens or Superior Runes.

MageB420666 03-18-2006 05:11 PM

I love farming Ettins......

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1...4custom7sh.png

Kostya 03-18-2006 11:11 PM

If only I could muster up the dedication to farm...

pacaveli 03-19-2006 12:10 PM

what exactly is farming?

dun_ask 03-19-2006 12:45 PM

farming = going out and killing mobs over and over waiting for stuff to drop

Kostya 03-19-2006 12:58 PM

I've tried farming before, but the repetitive aspect of the whole procedure really kills my enthusiasm pretty quickly. This is probably the reason why I only have about 40 grand total at any given time if I'm lucky.

I must say I am pretty stoked for Factions when it comes out. It'll be good to see the whole game get a bit of a shakeup, especially in PvP. I can enjoy being a n00b once again in PvE as well yey.
