There's a way but personally I cannot stand doing it cuz its virtually a torture.Those guys do the "Across the Wall" quest over and over again.that gives them XP,at some point killing non boss charrs gives no XP so only boss killing has some XP but they have to go for those 5 or so charr bosses a gizillion times.

Wow...I would gouge my eyes out. Talk about boring and pointless. Why on earth would anyone want to waste their time doing that? Yeesh.

hell yes. when i FINALLY get my laptop, ill be getting back on some. i will be busy writing my book, but i will keep playing guild wars. i cant resist that game. and klye, ill hook you up with some necro stuff if you want. and some ele stuff if i have any, which i should
Wait...where and how do you get to 20 in pre-searing? I thought the highest level monsters were some 6 or 8s in the "over the wall" mission...and by level 12, you get nothing for level 6 monsters and like 8XP for level 8 monsters...and since you can't attack NPCs...
Believe it or not, this is how people did it... (I don't think it can be done anymore now that baddies won't follow you forever). People would aggro some charr and drag them back to the entrance. They would let them beat up on the academy monks, who would get ressed by the res thingy, and this would continue, and the charr would actually level-up, and then they would kill the charr for good experience.

Yeah, I have to admit: that's pretty ingenious. And thank God monsters no longer follow you forever...that would be such a huge pain in the ass.
And thanks Paul. Just let me know when you've got your laptop...we gotsta play, yo.
When I first start up and go into GW sometimes one of the characters in the city is just a bright white cube...is this a bug? Just noticed it since I started playing again. It has happened with 3 of the 81.xx drivers and tonight with the 82.12. Usually is gone when I come back by.
OMG I am the biggest f**king newb!!!! Guess what I did???
I found some black dye in pre and unknowningly applied it to my crappy shield. Now I'm level 8 I've left for post and see its worth like 7 Plat. WTF!!!
On a side no I found out the game doesn't support surround so if you're getting it must be the Creative settings.

On the day of the release of the game, at lvl TWO i picked up TWO viels of Black Dye. Know what I did with them? Sold them for a few silver because I didn't need and the fact that I liked the color "red" better.... :(

Ouch man…ouch. When I first got the game, I got a few vials of green and orange and just sold them for the one gold they were worth at the time (this was in pre-searing) because I had absolutely no idea there was such a high demand for them. Meh, you live and learn.
The best I’ve found was a red, I believe, which is the second-most sought after color. I sold it for like 700, which was fine, because I only needed like 300 to get my last piece of 1500 armor.

Good to hear man. :) I look forward to ruining some Charr with you again. I work until 6 or 7 CST, but I don’t think I’m going to go out this weekend at all, so I should be down for a nice long session of gaming.

good times klye. amber and i usually dont have plans on the weekends, but we just kinda wing it, so i have no idea what i'll be doing. but i'll find some time to play. besides, i have always wanetd to sit on the coach and play that game wirelessly:) but on sunday... football day.. no dice buddy. amber is the BIGGEST seahawks fan ever born, so i get to watch her be silly-excited all day.
I just finished all the missions and now im not sure what the hell to do in the game.
Theres a few "super quests" from Glint and little side quests, and those 3 "uber" zones, but other than that theres just PvP and my guild that I created only has 2 people in it so PvP turns out to be not so great GvG :(
Join a guild that GvG's. It's all I do anymore. I PvP, that's about it, I do need to work on my PvE monk though.

I just logged in and saw the new menus... it was so awesome I was basically kicked in the balls... so much better looking now.

Wait...they updated the interface? Sweet!
Mr. Hunt

I had a big post but I lost it all :(.
Basically...
New main menu (character selection is way different)
New PvE area where the Tomb of Primeval Kings was (supposedly new green drops after you finish all 4 levels)
New group of islands south of Lions Arch used for PvP battles

My brother IMed me and told me basically the only thing that's changed is the log in screen and not the actual UI in-game. :(
I was really hoping they had added detailed stats like chance to hit, chance for crit, chance of being hit, resistances, etc...
I'm still upset they don't have that stuff. The game feels half finished without a stat sheet giving all that info. And it just seems like it's one of those "duh" things that should be in any RPG. Grr! :mad:
maybe stuff like that will be added on with factions.

I hope so...and I hope it's backwards compatible into GW...even though it's a stand-alone expansion. :-\

Ummm...hmmm..I just logged in and I'm really digging the new menu and everything (and the music, which is amazing), but what I'm not digging is that it says I'm using DX8 as my renderer.
WTF?
There isn't any option to change that that I can see...is there a .config or an .ini somewhere that I can change?
