Thank you for the advice! I would have moved on last night, but hubby was playing as his elementalist/ranger; so, tonight is the night I get to cross the fence. WooHoo!

FYI, the patch just changed the capture signet. Now you use it when the boss is dead! Much easier..
Anyway, I play this game like it's my little dirty habit.. Me/E ingame: Lazy Juan

Well, I finally made Yak's Bend... (I'm slow, but hey, I had a thesis to write)
Anyone else laughing at the whole Ascalon - Gondor parallels... Now there's some very Bantha like creatures in Yak's bend... Sweet... Dwarves are incredibly hilarious by the way... |

I dunno, I just can't help remembering Fry thinking he's a robot in Futurama whenever they talk to me:
I'll show ye! That being said, I'm going to have to recruit some real peeps to do these Yak's Bend quests, because the henchies died about five metres out the gate... |

Just make sure you don't get the enchanter henchman. I've noticed that he doesn't do much aside from dying..

Enchanter henchman? Is that the mesmer?
Here's a question. How many people out there actually know when their teammates are helping them? I mean, when I play with Coppertop, the only way he knows that I'm helping is when his health suddenly increases or he gets like 7 arrows of health regeneration. But I was reading on a GW forum that mesmers aren't usually noticed for their abilities, but their teammates have a harder time fighting enemies without them and can't figure out why they're having such trouble. And even as a healer, I know my team thinks I'm asleep on the job when I'm trying to negate 5 arrows of health degeneration from some of those Charr. I keep telling them, "Hey, it's FIVE arrows of degeneration. The fact that you're not dead seconds after they cast it is a sign I'm doing something." |

Mesmers do go under the radar a fair bit, as well as Necros. As a Necro/Mesmer, I find that my spells do a lot of damage without a lot fanfare. Sometimes people notice, but more often than not they're just off to the next group of enemies. Killing a guy when you have Dark Aura on you and Empathy on him is a whole lot easier.
Then again, some people seem to be really appreciative, especially when putrid explosion or necrotic traversal goes off and drops the four Axe fiends hammering on the Elementalist... Don't get me wrong, melee is important too... I guess... |

Yes, I do know that mesmer effects don't do insane amounts of damage, but at the same time, they make the job much easier. But the difference between a real mesmer and the mesmer henchman is HUGE. As i've said before, I notice that the mesmer henchman is the first to die and even when he's alive, my fights aren't that much easier. It's easy to see if a Necro is doing their job. Either a) You shouldn't need to heal them because they are stealing so much life. b) They have loads and loads of summons c) They are doing fair amounts of damage to enemies (their spells are totally visible) If at least ONE of those things isn't happening, get a new necro on your team It's also easy to see if a Warrior is doing their job. Either a) They're dying b) They're dying c) They're dying and screaming "OMG MEDIC!"

Did anyone get the Prima guide to this? I got to say, (I haven't read the mission guides and stuff cause I still haven't finished the story with my first character) it's pretty damn comprehensive. Tells you what salvages you get from what and what the expert vs basic breakdown is and everything. So far I've just been using the drop and salvage guide to get what I need for armour and stuff.

How much does a major hammer rune go for anyway? I never get runes that I would find useful....
My inventory is full of runes and upgrades that I won't use...

That's what happens with games like this. At first prices are low because no one has had time to get a lot of money. Then it goes up, since all the "hardcore" or whatever people that have to be the best first, they offer vast sums of gold for rares earned from farming all day. Then once those people get what they need, things will even out, and remain stable until the next patch messes up the economy. They also seem to be doing something about farming, though a little too late as most have already gotten a ton of cash.
Just to give an idea for how much an avid farmer might make, it would be something around 100+ plat. My warrior who made it through all the pve missions except the last two has only amassed 7 plat to his name (nor have I made any big buys to deplete my money). |

OK, don't through bricks at me, but this game hasn't caught my imagination yet. I've only played a couple of times, but it seems like it's only about chatting through an expensive and very nice to look at interface. Tell me I'm goofy, tell me I'm dim, but I don't get it. Do I need a frontal lobotomy?

Oh, and I also feel I should explain what I meant by implying farming is bad, since it's not a bad thing in all games. What they would do would be to figure out a particular few skills to keep them alive and do a lot of damage that normally wouldnt work in any other situation (usually monk, if youre creative just looking at their skills youll see what I mean, think lots of enchants), and then kill a certain group of enemies. And/or they would find a particular mission that had wreckage/chests near each other that were dropping an abnormal amount of rares (think 2 or 3 purples every 5-10 mins with a chance at a gold item just for running through a certain part and opening them).
Now, normally doing these missions you'd be in a group of at least 6 (since they would obviously farm in higher level areas) so normally doing the same thing you'd be getting 1/6 to 1/8th of what a farmer would. Plus not all class combos can pull it off. So it borders on exploiting and really messes up the economy for people who don't farm. And since farming=boring for 90% of the population farming is really bad for gameplay. |

We just got done playing our weekly game and it went well. We defeated Garfazz Bloodfang and need to do Althea's 2nd quest.
Here's a question, is the best way to find the other cities just to wander around? Or are there people that give out quests that direct us to those cities? |

I suppose theoretically, if you wander around enough, you COULD get to another city. But doing the co-op missions will get you to new cities real fast.

I've gotten to so many cities by just doing the primary mission with people I meet. I have yet to get anything good out of an expert salvage myself.
I have so much money tied up in rare and common crafting materials I don't know whether to just cash out or hold onto them. It is getting to the point that I'm almost giving the stuff away. I can't make anything else worthwhile - I have yet to get a decent monk wand. Now a lvl 13 mo/mes, Calypte Anna, smiting/healer monk. Put me on a friends list if you wanna go adventuring.

I am Me/R 15 Oberon Skyhanger. As a primary mesmer, I have often been particularly excellent against defeating spellcasters and healers (Backfire and Ether Feast own, and with me the group usually takes them out VERY FAST). As a ranger, I haven't really liked my pet very much. But my Beast Mastery skill is pretty poor, as I preferred to boost Wilderness Skills so the Troll Unguent keeps me from needing too much healer assistance. But I also usually equip Empathy and that works against everything. Domination Magic is my big thing.
I think I'm going to start a new character. Probably do a Mo/Me, Mo/N, N/Me, or something like that.
