Anyone want to organise a dungeon run? The story mode of the Ascalonian catacombs preferably.

I'll do it at around 10:15 your time, Corpses.

You guys are 6 hours ahead, right?

I'm in GMT +1 at the moment due to daylight savings, so probably 6-7 hours ahead depending on what timezone you're in.

My highest leveled character is 20, so not likely.

That and I'm still on Whiteside Ridge.

AC is level 30 for story mode, 40 for explorable I think.

As always finding a class is a pain..

Question though.. For pvp, is there a point to even level the character ?

From what i can tell you cant use your PvE Armor in pvp.
PvP Armor/everything is Free to have.

So my point is.

Play 1 Character PvE and level to 80
Play 2nd Character PvP and not level him.

Playing Spvp there is no point in levelling a character.

Is there any of the other types of pvp where its woth it ?

Wvw you get a small advantage with your lvl 80 gear vurses the rest of us "80" with our lower lvl gear but not by much. You still die quite fast. It's hard to tell sometimes when theirs so much going on. I'm glad that abilities auto target the closest enemy's.

So, beat the story mode. Final mission was all kinds of awesome... right up until the final boss bugged out and got stuck.
Kind of disappointing after that. At least Zhaitan looked appropriately awesome, although he could have been bigger. I'm hoping Ziggy's one of the smaller big bad dragons.

STill wondering, can we organize a guild pvp run?

we can, but who would want to do so is the thing.

I'd go for it on any of my chars, but especially my necro or warrior.

The advantage of an 80 is a lot more than a little. True 80's in WvW are capable of wiping as many as three non-80's with full gear and proper trait placement (and smart play). Being true-80 is a huge advantage.

I think aside from smart play, it's mostly the trait placements though, because some of them really scale well with level (others don't, mind you). For example, a Warrior's "bleeding duration increased by 50%" trait... that is pretty damned useful to any bleed heavy build, lets you stack bleeds much higher and faster. And naturally, the more you have, the more synergy between the traits that you can build up.

Is the Heart of the Mists PvP lobby multi-server? If so, I'd be happy to join any PvP stuff.

Pretty sure it's not multi-server, sorry :/

I'm actually not sure on that Corpse. The SPvP servers are their own cluster and are numbered. I can double check with the PvP junkie I know. He'll know for sure.

EDIT: The SPvP servers are multi-server and you can play and team up with other people from other servers, however the lobby's themselves are tied to a specific server (this does not prevent someone from say Anvil Rock forming a team with someone from Desolation you just won't see one another until the match actually starts).

I'm not really into PvP so fair play, I just kinda presumed it wouldn't be multi-server.

Well, that sucks.

My account got hacked about a week ago, and customer service still hasnt responded to my filed report. I might have to send some more emails.

Hopefully I won't have to start all over. I'd be pretty pissed.

Pity, mate. Hope it gets resolved soon.

By account being hacked, do you mean you suffered a phishing attempt somewhere, they got your password, and took your account? Or do you mean that they managed to get your account through a keylogger on your computer? Or what?

Gotta be more specific. Because it won't help getting your account back if you still have a keylogger on, for example.

99 times out of 100, you were never actually hacked. You probably just got phished, or clicked something you shouldn't have.

Near the game's release, a bunch of phishing emails were sent saying that someone was trying to change your password. If you've never attempted to alter your password, then you should have never (ever) clicked them. If you don't know what it is for absolutely 100% certain, don't touch it. You basically invited some Chinese goldseller to have full access to your account.

Thankfully, Anet has been doing some decent damage control, by temporarily banning compromised accounts, to halt any further damage. Hopefully it clears up soon.

I believe it was phished, and Mel, I shouldn't have a keylogger.

Thanks for the update Fafnir, hopefully they can get that kind of stuff fixed soon.

Felsi, you douche. "Oh gee, I know what will be fun! I'm gonna invite someone who has never done a pvp game before and trick them in to a 1v1 against my uberleveled up, geared up, pvp-focused player!"

Seriously man, if you want to turn someone off of doing pvp, that's the best way to do it. Jerk...

At least in world PvP we could have grouped or something.

You shouldn't judge PvP based off of of 1v1 in any way. The entire balance of PvP was built around teamplay. Otherwise, you'd see nothing but Guardians and Mesmers in PvP. I'd suggest giving it another chance.

I know. I'm more commenting on how much of a jerkass that Felsi is.

Felsi, no beating up mel.

Felsi, being a jerk?

Say it ain't so.

Not been on that much due to sorting university stuff and my lack of a functioning gaming computer -.-
