I remember when I first got out of Pre-Sear lol. Post Searing looked like a piece of crap compared to it that I nearly lost interest heh.

Yeah. Old ascalon really looks like a dump. But then you move away from that and you get into the shiverpeaks, beautiful.. Then Kryta... the jungle, the desert...The game really turns beautiful.

Haha yeah, I'm glad that the whole game world isn't just Ascalon. As much as an apocalyptic wasteland makes for a good story, it wouldn't do justice to some of the awesome visuals I saw in Pre-Searing.

Sure, if anyone wants to hit me for some party work sometime, you can find me under "Kasumi Akino" for now. I went with the beginner friendly W/Mo. Just note that I'm still very newbie-ish to the game, so party at your own risk, haha.

Side note, recently, I was very worried when my copy of Guild Wars wouldn't run anymore and kept giving me Exception: 00000005 errors and was spouting stuff about being unable to read a memory address =/ After searching on the net, I found suggestions like upgrading drivers to messing with my BIOS o_O I re-installed GW and seems to work ok now, but I don't want to have to do this over and over. Anyone else have problems like this?

hey guys i ahve question: if u put a rune in a piece of armor, is it possible to override it with another rune (i.e. a minor fire magic rune, and then u put a superior fire magic rune in the same piece of armor)? cuz i don't want to be stuck with a minor fire on my elemenetalist.

and if anyone wants to pvp, msg me at Pandaren Beermaster, (im kind of noob though).

Ya, you can override that rune with any rune, that minor fire rune armor will be a superior if you put it on. Just remember that you can't stack runes of the same element, for example, have a earth superior on your helm and earth superior on your shoes, won't work plus it'll be a waste on the hp consequence.

I'm usually on if not busy with work IGN: Longcat Is Long
Sometimes I'll make random pugs with some friends for the hell of it and go to hoh lolling, if anyone wants can come along =p But gvg is what I do most of the time.

Although with the nerf pvp had some interesting builds, iway's pretty much done, now you see some with stupid barrage iways now. Pretty annoyed that ranger spike still the same but ah well =| Necro bloodspike, and rainbow spike is what people run most of the time this time actually anything spike wtf

Usually, as far as runes go you can't stack them. Like two health runes will only give you one bonus, not both.

I'm not on there that often, but you can add me too. But that's only because I'm playing City of Heroes at the moment. Once I run out of money, I'll play Guild Wars again.

I started playing this again after who knows how long. While I can't promise I'll stick around, I do seem to be enjoying myself so far. I'm taking things very slowly; I feel extra nubcakes-ish this time around for some reason. >.>

My account got stolen.

I had two lvl 20s, both with best armor in game, a lot of green weapons (Victo's blade, Bludgeoner, Gold Staff) a GOLD MAGMA SHIELD, and like 125k gold.

I just learned they won't be able to roll back my account, and I will basically have to start over.

What pisses me off is all the shit I unlocked...

I can't stop playing, though. My 5 best friends in real life just got the game 'coz I told them to, and we were gonna start a guild... Long way 'till I get a celestical sigil for us now. ;__;

Eh, not really. They don't really cost too much now-a-days. 30k at the most. However, I can understand 30k can be a bit much especially since you have to start over from scratch. I'm sorry that had to happen, I feel for ya. =(

When you have a level 20 you can put 5k on storage and have your lower character ran whereever you want. That makes the game go like that. When you start all over... Man, gonna take a while.

All my friends, and I myself, have gone through the same thing. Playing Post is just such a terrible, ugly experience. It's also added to the fact that you're now a total noob in a not so nice land.

I didn't like post ascalon.

Funny enough, I don't like to be ran unless I'm using a mage character. I had gotten my monk ran to all the outposts in the desert area because using henchmen is a pain. It'll probably be the same thing with my mesmer once I get him out of Pre-Searing. However, as far as low-level areas, I don't mind fighting all the mobs. It gives my character more exp, and it gives me a chance to break him/her in. As of right now, I can't really do anything because my video card is fubared, =\. So until that's fixed, I can't help anyone.

Oh nice, new armor for Factions. Taken from GWOnline forums:

Warrior:

Female


Male


Ranger

Female


Male


Elementalist

Female


Male


Mesmer

Female


Male


Necromancer

Female


Male


Monk

Female


Male


So what do you guys think? I see potential in the Berserker Armor and Legionniar's, however Sentinel's is pretty hefty to get the full 100 armor. My warrior hardly uses strength, let alone 13 of it. The ranger armor could be useful as well. Not sure what sets of armor to get rid of to make room for these new armors. This'll be a problem. =o

Looking good. I guess I'll have to get off my duff and pre-order Factions soon. I figure I'll buy the game anyway, so I might as well get it with all the cool bonuses they're offering.

Just slowly making my way through the game, hit the gates of Kryta yesterday although I failed the mission when I tried to do it with henchmen (the regular players weren't biting on my LFG requests).

I'm interested in looking for a guild now. I guess until we organize ourselves into a guild here (if that ever happens), what should I be looking for in a guild? There seem to be plenty of people shouting for people to join their guild, but it's hard to differentiate. But I figure since guilds are such an important part of the game, I should get on board soon enough.
