lvl 9.5 monk/mes right now

Unlocking spells and shit. Missions are fucking cool, that one with the catapults was hilarious.

5/1/2005 1:44:42 AM

necro is a caster to answer the question above

5/1/2005 1:54:27 AM

Was contemplating a Ranger/Mezmer.

All ranged based attacks for the most part. A pet.

Am I correct in thinking this would be one of the best debuffer combinations? Rangers get poison and skills that reduce abilities while a mezmer has spells out the ass for the same reason.

Or would a Mezmer/Ranger be better?

I swear this combination stuff is given me a headache. I am one of those people who like to start with something and stick with it. And I dont want to figure out later down the road that there is a better choice that what I chose for a certain way of fighting

5/1/2005 1:45:47 PM

shrug it aint hard to lvl really and you can always use a premade for the hell of it.

5/1/2005 2:52:01 PM

It seems.....that PvP you cant have beast mastery to be effective. But PvE is mainly where you want to use it.

yeah it really isn't too hard to level which is the fun part.. plus as you unlock any skills/items you can use them in the PvP build to test character stuff out

I'm finding Ranger/Mesmer to be pretty damn good so far... especially considering I haven't unlocked many deeper ranger skills.. but you can survive well and drop people in a hurry and be a total bitch (mesmer spells)

5/2/2005 1:34:45 AM

I started as a warrior and tried other trainer's skills... mesmer was my favorite.

I like the whole "you give me 5 mana and I'll take 60 health... thank you!"



I WANT TO PLAY BUT I CANT! I got the game and played almost non-stop for 4 days... I'm only level 7.5, but I've got friends that are gunna play and I want to make a guild with them, but I dont wanna be a crazy high level and have to wait on them for a long time. I also dont want to travel to the "new world" without a guild of some sort.

5/2/2005 10:46:05 AM

at 7 the new world should be a sinch for the first areas - especially with some henchmen

you can always make a new character to play with anyone just starting

5/2/2005 12:10:53 PM

Ranger/Monk is very good for doing damage vs warriors (high armor), Judge's Insight (mo skill) gives your attacks armor penetration.

5/2/2005 4:10:48 PM

err where should i go at 7. i did the above the wall with some guy but besides the 1 quest to retreive the guy i had no clue where to go. saw a ton of grawl but the combo of only being able to have 2 ppl in the party and them all being lvl 8 (were hitting me pretty hard) was kinda rough. my partner was a lvl 5 healer so perhaps thats why it was so bad, but shrug. is there a town up there or am i missing some other zone?

5/2/2005 11:34:10 PM

talk to tydus in ascalon city

You haven't left the newb zone yet :p

5/2/2005 11:35:43 PM

yeah i knew that much, was just waiting till after exams and whatnot :p game reminds me a lot of shadowbane in some ways. either way i guess ill go see if he has something to say.

[Edited on May 2, 2005 at 11:46 PM. Reason : gd he does, he shoulda had an exclamation point saying "gd ur not a noob anymore get out of here"]

5/2/2005 11:44:38 PM

I finally broke down and got the game.

Working on a "vampire build" or technically, a N/W with a skill concentration in blood magic and sword mastery. I rule.

If you want to join my guild, send me a message in game, my username is "Anheben der Toten" and my guild is "Das Leistungsfaehige."

5/11/2005 4:27:06 AM

I think I am going to buy it either today or this weekend, it looks sweet.

5/11/2005 5:28:27 PM

i'll trade someone WoW for this

5/11/2005 5:29:47 PM

yeah I just got it. I really like the seamless feel of the game.....it's real quirky. I'm a Me/N Lv. 6. I'm not sure if i should go ahead and hit the sear or not

Also, am I the only one that thinks that battle sounds are weird? There's all these fizzles and booming pops that sound unnatural.

5/13/2005 11:51:13 AM

level 11 n/w here -- let me know if you want to party sometime

5/13/2005 11:59:55 AM

I got it the other day and I just can't get into it. It's freaking weird.

How is a game with load screens between every location "seamless"?

5/13/2005 12:08:40 PM

it just moves fast and slick. at least for me. Great presentation, wonderful FPS, fast load times, you pop across the map quick and jumping through menus is fast as hell.

5/13/2005 11:01:46 PM

I want to get in to it, I really do.

I mean, I dropped fifty bucks on it.


It feels like a waste.

5/13/2005 11:09:00 PM

it rules. keep trying , you just need someone to show you around and stuff. I'll group up with anyone , just add me -- my game name is Nix Masamune

5/14/2005 3:32:17 AM

it does grab me like wow did, but it is fun. ppl ive grouped with have been idiots though and ran in when we didnt have a real healer and then all died so i had to try and finish a mission myself.

5/14/2005 7:38:33 AM

well let me know if you wanna group. Whats your level? Im a tad low - Me/N 7

5/14/2005 10:38:48 AM

lvl 8 N/W

"Anheben der Toten"

I think I want to make an elementalist though.... going to make one today.

5/14/2005 10:58:31 AM

R/N 20 myself, however, I don't use the necro spells too much. At the most two. However, I finally have my Dune Lizard up to lvl 19.

5/14/2005 9:38:35 PM

^ k. I added ya.

I finally got a decent Me skill - shit knocks for 8 energy and 48 health. Nice to have

5/14/2005 10:46:28 PM

Gronke's convinced me to give it another go.

My name's Laika Regine if anybody wants to add me, I look like a fucking strumpet.

Lvl 5 Elementalist/Monk.

5/14/2005 11:08:17 PM

5/15/2005 1:30:59 AM

where are the in-game pics from you guys?

5/15/2005 1:49:07 AM

damn spooky. good class choice, we should all party together.


oh and ill get screens soon as i figure them out

5/15/2005 3:00:45 AM

Just got this game, anyone want to show my around? Right now I have a lvl 3 Ranger/Mesmer named Kade Night.

5/15/2005 11:22:16 AM

^^ here ya go.

lvl 9 warrior/ranger


where are the best pets to tame? i'm still using that stalker you tame to become a ranger.

5/16/2005 6:44:55 AM

ive got a 9 r/mo and an 8 w/e just cuz i havent played much. Spicy Bowslanga (i cant even remember the spelling) and Odial Frostreaver.

5/16/2005 1:14:22 PM

Here's a screenshot of my "vampire build"

Necro with focus in blood magic + warrior secondary. I drain life from my opponents.

5/16/2005 3:17:26 PM

from the screenshots

the UI looks horrible

5/16/2005 3:34:11 PM

You can only use 8 skills at a time, so 100000 buttons aren't needed.

5/16/2005 3:36:38 PM

yeah the UI is actually good, simple and effective. The only issue i have with the game is that too much of ascalon just looks the same, possibly b/c it got so thrashed...

I just made it to Yak's Bend so its nice to be in a new territory all together

5/16/2005 3:42:06 PM

I was talking more from a visual standpoint.

Ive not played the game, just seen your shots. The UI is ugly IMO

5/16/2005 4:02:51 PM

So I am not even into the moutains yet, mainly because I want to do all the missions before I leave an area, and I have noticed on the maps online,that there is ALOT of shit to do after the mountains.

I swear I must have the worst luck - everytime we take the HoH I never get a drop no matter what

5/17/2005 5:21:55 PM

how is buying an expansion ($30) every 2 months to get all the new content any different than paying $15/month for other mmorpgs?

5/17/2005 5:57:37 PM

because with other mmorpgs you ALSO buy expansions + pay a monthly fee. gee, that was hard to think about.... moron

Also, most mmorpgs draw out expansion pack dates as long as possible to collect on their monthy fees without releasing much new content. With Guild Wars setup, the only time you have to spend more money, is when you are getting much more new content.

[Edited on May 17, 2005 at 7:42 PM. Reason : .]

5/17/2005 7:39:58 PM

b/c it's an expansion every 6-9 months... so about $3-5/month

5/17/2005 9:23:57 PM

the UI is awsome, i guess you guys play a mac os 10 style mmorpg.

***i dont own the game, i played it at a friends house for an hour ***

5/17/2005 9:34:33 PM

I cant wait to get to the jungle and the desert. The enemies will become not monotonous again.

And you will be able to actually craft weapons maybe?

I have the jaguar from presearing as my pet. Are certain animals better than other? aka the lizard mentioned above

[Edited on May 18, 2005 at 12:13 AM. Reason : pet]

5/18/2005 12:10:12 AM

Just entered post-searing with my level 8 ranger/mesmer. I am loving this game.
