  1. Well if you haven't decided yet, you are right that sometimes most go by the most obvious when they are selecting the ele class usually you see Female in no mater race and to be honest it looks kind of cool , but given the idea you have for the tribal/shamanistic, I would personally go by Charr even though most would make a warrior a Guardian or or a Revenant with a male Charr. The main reason why I would choose it is because of the pvp or wvw gear you can get a gear matching the exact description you need. Now if you have HoT you can find the Bladed or even the Leystone gear again matching the description you are mentioning and i think you might be able to unlock it with just the story line. Now as for the Norn a reason why I wouldn't choose it, it's because most of the times the gear looks like a priest honestly if Anet ever decides to make a specialization based on that Male Norn with the light gear sets would be a huge match. But yeah, overall its up to you to choose the race and the looks just be creative that's all , the class will always be the same.
  2. Hey everyone I hope you are having a great day so far. I was taking a break from the game for a month or two and I jumped back in the game today, I remember most of my years playing the game, Silverwastes was my number 1 go to farm map even though they were a few that quickly got nerfed or whatever. Right now I am on a goal to get some gold up to buy some quality of life items since we probably going to have an expansion coming up. I was wondering if there is any map that is currently the most preferred for the effort/time/reward! Now, except of the events you might have a cycle of events in mind that if done correctly and continuously you can get some profits there. Honestly after the nerf of the "Domain of Istan" farm that I was able to get up to 60-70 gold per round I hardly ever found any map that could possibly give me such gold, I don't know if I am doing anything wrong or something. I know many people are doing different events that can possibly give you items worth of 1k+ in the tp but honestly I was in the same train for a long time with no rewards what so ever, so I stopped doing it. Right now I would love to know what is everyone's favorite way to get gold in-game and to be honest am mostly a fan of PVE so I would stay away from WvW and PvP, for now, I mostly prefer to be in an open map with a bunch of people rather than going out in raids and staff like that, is not that I don't do it but is not my thing that I do the most. Finally I would love to see what and how people are doing their farm right now and what is possibly the "better" not best way to farm, I would like to have choices if you guys know and if there is any guide online anything online that shows things like that I would like to see it. Thank you for your time.
  3. Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day so far. I recently did a reset on my laptop and I had to re-install the game and scanned it in Nvidia, now once I did that the settings were optimized based on the preference in Nvidia so it was hard for me to remember what I had before. After that I got in to the game and changed a few things that make a great impact on the FPS such as player model shadows shaders and other few things. Now I think I am with the settings that I had before which is mostly high-Med settings with most of the above set to low-medium but, I remember doing something in the Nvidia control panel which I can't recall right now as it has been a long time since I've done anything there. To be honest I think I saw a video while changing a few things in there. Right now the only thing I changed was the global settings set to high performance and I also done that for the game specifically, but I remember changing a few things in there as well for better FPS and performance. Either way I don't really remember that's why am reaching out if anyone knows a few things that if changed would benefit the performance and the FPS. What am aiming to have is a balance between quality and performance as I mostly run the game with the textures and environment set to High and I turn down everything else, at least most of them. As I said before am on a laptop and I will add my specs so I hope this helps Asus ( ROG) with Win 10 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz ( With a reach up to 3.8) Nvidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB 16GB RAM. I hope this helps, I am not a professional nor I know a lot regarding PC's and Laptops but if anyone knows a few things and is willing to share the knowledge it would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
  4. To be honest I love this type of questions it goes to show that the MMO genre keeps on building up even though we had some rocky years. Base from your title I would definitely recommend the game even if you are an WOW vet or a newcomer in this type of games GW2 for me was something that I've always recommended to anyone who was looking for an MMO RPG game. Now to answer some of your questions. 1) As I said above GW2 is a game that a lot of people can get into and get used to it in a short time. Especially if you already played a few MMO games you will see that you can get used to it. Now as many MMO's when it comes to Raids, World Bosses and Dungeons ( which gw2 dungeons are not so populated lately) you will have some mechanics that you ll need to learn first but is nothing should worry you much. As for rotations or combos, I would highly suggest when ever you are trying a build just test it in a higher lvl location or in a training section in fractals or the in Raid training section. Also there are many good builds either you find them online or in MetaBattle in Wiki or even if you just do your own I would suggest downloading some addons that will show your damage if you want to go that far. But for the beginning this shouldn't matter. 2) Honestly, I played this game back in 2013 for a year by my self even without a guild and I was having a blast of a time. Even if you run solo you ll have a wonderful time in the game there are many populated areas, Meta events or World bosses to get into so you won't feel alone but its 100% better if you are in a guild or you play with a friend. As for the guild I think you can get a few bonuses from xp in the open world or xp for PvP and WvW. But yeah, I would't suggest soloing dungeons or anything else because most of them have specific mechanics that would need a team to be completed so to me if I would say that I will solo a dungeon its gonna end up a waste of time, but overall its definitely better to play with friends or a guild you can still meet some new people from there as well. 3) At first once you start I would suggest to join a server that is highly active in WvW the reason behind that is that it will help you later in the game now another suggestion would be doing what I did, I took the time and played the starting stories of all races and classes. The starting story is the one that you immediately jump once you get in the game. The reason why I would suggest that is that I believe it can give you some idea of how a class feels now of course once you reach lvl 80 everything will be different but you at least checked it. Now if you are going for Free to Play account I would say try to find some events to get the feeling of the game probably until lvl 10 once you get the first story episode and a good feeling of the game I would try to find a guild that can help me a bit with WvW. That't where the first thing that I mention comes, the reason why am mentioning WvW so much its because of the "Tomes of Knowledge". These things once you use them they can lvl up your player quickly up to lvl 80 ( 1 tome per level) and that here is when the fun starts. Yeah... the game does have a few things to do if you want to naturally lvl up but it will take you much longer. Now if you are going to buy the game you can immediately start WvW once you finish the starting story, but either way I would first suggest to reach lvl 10 or even a bit higher and find a guild then go for WvW because everything is fast paced and everyone is running especially with the mounts. 4) There is no specific number to that but I can give you a genera idea by my experience. First year it took me 6 months to lvl up to 80 just because I wanted to enjoy the game and lvl up my character naturally. Even though I was in a guild I wanted to take my time. Now once I did that back then there was the "Edge of the Mist" then I created another character and within a week I lvl it up at 80 ( goes to show that WvW or Edge of the mist might be a great choice if you want to lvl up faster. Now as for the gears it depends on you and what method you are choosing. Thankfully with the Heart of Thorns Expansion the legendary crafting became a bit better and easier as you are given the recipe and then you have a series of a lot of events to complete some easy others not so easy. Also you can just buy your way to legendary weapons which I would never do that. But over all to me GW2 its not always about the gold but mostly about the materials, yeah gold makes everything better but once you join a Meta event you will see that you can get some materials and gold at the same time. Personally to give you a timed idea I crafted most of my legendary weapons with the traditional way now it took me a few months and the reason why it took me that long its because I wanted a break from all the gathering farming and etc. Now as for the raids it might take you a few rounds to understand some of the mechanics some people take it seriously but with some practice you should be okay. Also teher are guild focused on raids and the do raid training so you should join such guilds with WvW and Raid activity. 5) There are a few annual awards such as birthday awards or Christmas themed awards but as for the birthday awards and the beginning its nothing really you get a few things that you can use at the spot but they don't affect you that much. I think once you reach a year and above that's when some serious things come in handy for example the lvl boost to give an idea here per year the scale goes like this 1y- 20lvl boost, 2y -20lvl boost, 3y-30lvl boost, 4y-40lvl boost, 5y-50lvl boost, 6y-60lvl boost and so on. I haven't reach 7-8 years with a character since i deleted all my starting characters but I would guess it goes with the same idea. Also expect for bday boosts there are few other things that you can use and you can optain without any annual events that I personally activate them in Meta-events, Raids, WvW or depending on what you are doing that's when you should activate them. Be careful though because sometimes once you activate a boost in PvE and jump to PvP or WvW you will probably lose it so just pay attention if the boost is accepted in other game styles. 6) As mentioned above I would highly suggest buying the whole game including the expansions, there are some bundles in discount sometimes but what I would suggest if you don't want to buy it now just start a free to play account play the game for a few days or weeks and since summer is coming up we will probably going to see a discount so you can get in on that what you are going to do you are basically upgrading your game from Free to paid and thankfully GW2 is not like WoW that you have to pay every month you just pay once ( if you want) and you get to enjoy the game for how long as you like. Now another thing that am not 100% sure is that the game is close to a 3rd expansion soon ( I might be wrong) I don't know how long it will take and I don't know if it will ever come any time soon but I would definitely suggest buying the game either way since it gives you a few more benefits, such as more Characters lots, I don't know if some classes are disabled for Free to Play accounts, but in payed accounts you get them all anyways and more access to more staff earlier in the game honestly in general I would't say is not worth paying for the game since you don't have to keep on paying more and more the only problem you might face is that some of the preview story lines might be locked for you just because you didn't played them on time ( Once they came out) but in general as for the base game story and the expansions stories you get them anyways. I hope this covers your questions glad to see new people having more interest in this genre and in the specific game more and more people joining the fun, So I hope you have fun in-game. Glad to help !
  5. So after the latest patch `19/11/2019 i started the client everything downloaded and it was 100% but there was 1 file remaining . I sat down and wait for it but it took 30 min so i turned off the client and started it up again and the 1 file was still there ! Any ideas to fix that ?
  6. Been playing the game since 2012 and it's the first time am feeling that Anet is trying to steal money out our pockets ! First of all I know that you can turn gems to gold and personally I haven't spend any money on gems but what worries me the most is that I've seen more content being added in the gem store rather than the actual game it's self. The game features a lot of game modes from PVE/PVP/WVW and then you can find your self in dungeons (dead feature) Fractals Raids WB's Metas and so on. The main reason why am mentioning all this game modes it's to realize that there are a lot of ways to implement more rewards in the game. On the other hand all the flashy good looking armor sets or weapons sets are found as skins/oufits in the gem store and in the game the amount of actually good looking armors are really small compared to the outfits of gem store ! Now what I hate the most is that there are actually some armors without using any gems but you have to either sit down and grind for hours just to get 1 piece of the armor ! Also most of the times if you want a good looking armor you have to follow this way because there are no good looking drops for armors . Going to the other point, the amount of times I've seen a precursor or at least a drop was only 1 time after all those years is like a 0.0% to get it ! Am mentioning the precursors because if you want a good looking weapon in the game you have to go either legendary or skin ...or an actually good exotic that has a rare effect on it !Many people end up buying a skin from the gem store. And as for the precursors you just buy them too from the store. Also one thing that I really hate is that the game starts to minimize the ways to get gold it almost feels like Anet is forcing people to put money for gold ! Now I know there are a lot of people who know a lot of ways some of them though they are sitting in front of trading post and just flipping up prices ! I am not that type I tried it I got my gold but it wasn't as enjoyable as actually playing the game and getting gold ! I would prefer to have the broken Domain of Istan farm where you could get up to 100g the run but actually play the game ! Now that is a reward ! Last point not that I really care about a mount skin but since PoF came out all of the skins are found in the Gem store ! I would prefer to have all this different looking mounts be part of the game and have a collection ! Not a huge one like the skyscale but a fairly easy collection ! But then again going back to the top it start to feel like the devs are trying to make the game a low key pay to win ! Strong words there but we don't have to hide behind our fingers !
  7. We want more choices as a game has multiple type of characters some love the WvW PvP or Raid and Fractals others love the story lines and free roaming ! But if you think about it both are equal ! Of course an mmo need to have PvP or WvW or Dungeon content (which right now dungeons are dead !) but they could do something that is more rewarding at least to make them feel alive again ! On the other hand Free roamers prefer farming instead of competing so you have to give them some content to have them in the game other wise you will lose people !
  8. If am not mistaken they told as months ago that for now we will keep on going to living story from living story ! Some people don't like that but I think its cool the fact that they give you "free" content and it build up the excitement ! Many said that the next season will be a fail before even playing it but I feel like it will be a build up for a new expansion ! Obviously a LS season takes up to a year from start to finish so for the next year 2019-2020 we will have LS episodes but not to promise anything if there's going to be an expansion there is going to be a teaser/trailer for the expansion at the last episode of the season ! I mean ok this year they did almost the same with aurine flying away but didn't really showed the upcoming "dangers" ! Personally I have high hopes and I feel like the next season is promising but I wish for it to be good in terms of content !
  9. So I opened up my game today and I saw the mail from Anet and they gave me this things ! At the beginning I didn't knew why and since I lost today's live stream I wasn't able to understand some told me is for HoT and PoF veterans others asked me where did i got those ! But after searching in gw2 pages I was wondering what is the point for those things !Some also told me that i had to wait but I didn't knew why ! So does anybody knows what these are and why did anet gave it any explanation !!!??? OR is it just another gift ??
  10. So I've been tried to gather up some mats mainly for lege and get some extra karma for my skyscale ! I remember the last time I did a legendary was back when Domain of istan was actually alive but after that I am struggling to find a good farming map like Domain of istan used to be. The fact is that there are not a lot of groups there anymore so I tried to join some SW Riba farms and also went back to HoT for some Tarrir farm, but still I haven't felt the rewards to be the same. One thing that makes me sad about farming in event maps is that most of the event maps that the devs created are pretty much dead, even if we go back to living story 3 and even with the latest map was all the hype the first two weeks and then everyone forgot about it. Last but not least am surprised to see that HoT is much more alive than PoF will ever be. It's sad to see an expansion like PoF to be that empty and its even more sad that devs are more interested on re-adding festivals and things that existed for years now. Any way bakc to the main topic ! In terms of numbers and better rewarding which map is considered the "best" or "better" to farm currently in the game ? Also If anybody knows any other method or cycle to gather up mats and karma I am I would be pleased to know !!
  11. So I am a bit late on doing the skyscale saddle and am all out of karma so it's much harder for me to actually get all the items needed for the achievement. I downloaded the "Taco" overlay to see if it works but I haven't had the luck i wished for ! I wasn't able to track down map items for living story season 4 maps ! So here I am searching for any clue if there is any way that I can make this grind easier by having an addon that at least show me where the items are on the map and not having me wondering around hoping to find some . If anybody knows any information I would be thankful to know !!!
  12. Hope u guys like these ! Any tips for better looking pics :P ??
  13. Been trying for hours now to get my deadeye as a daredevil I went to PoF and I almost completed every Hero Point there because i first reached deadeye and there are no more hero points left there and I went to Auric Basin to do more and there is no chance for a thief to solo the hero points there I mean in PoF hero points can be reach with either no fighting or just a veteran in HoT u need to kill a champion every time ! Why doe sit have to be that way ? Can;t the devs make it easier to at least be able to solo some of them ?? Also the hardest part is to gather people to help u At the end I started to feel that HoT is even harder than PoF am I the only one here who thinking about that?
  14. Hello everyoneSo first of all I will like to mention that I crafted some legendaries before but I have never tried to craft them using the method that was introduced back in the HoT where you could buy the Vol.1 do the collection craft somethings and then do the Vol.2 . Now personally am more of a fan of the old way of doing it such as getting all the mats together then crafting the needed recipes and then get the precursor or buy it and then craft it. Now sadly with the HoT way you can't buy the precursors so you will have to craft them by following the Vol. 1,2,3 etc but because I've never tried it I have some questions . 1) I know that the HoT way only lets u to get the precursor which it could take more time , but how much does it costs in general to craft the precursor and to finish it to a legendary ?2) Also because crafting a legendary means spent some time in-game . Which way (HoT way Vs Old way) is more worth on doing based on time, mats and also gold ??3) Now this question might be difficult to answer but is there any other way to get HoT precursors ?
  15. To be honest I some how agree with you but not fully I played this game from launch and they were some serious down times for getting bored of the end game . I mean og WB are not a solo thing neither any other raid fractal wvw pvp and so on but the point i thing is not the solo end game is more like the reward of it if you play in a farminf pve group you probably be ok because of the reward for ex. gold and mats . I personally believe that is not a solo problem but more of the reward any of the game optiosn you have will give you many useless rewards that by the end of the day you will salvage them and 9 times out of 10 your inventory is full of them ! If you check on othe mmo even if you do a simple WB you can get a huge amount of gold and a good weapon/armor rewards ! In gw2 this happens rarely only in tequatl and in triple trouble and raids ! So again i believe that is not the fact that you play solo is more like you know what you will expect of the game after yo do a specific event.
