Guild Wars II GAME RELEASE happened a while ago

This forum is specifically for discussing non-Mafia games
(board, card, video, we're not picky)
.
Playing
such games should happen in the Mish Mash forum, of course.

I should have just googled it. Seems some people are reporting between 70 and 90 fps with a 5850 and an i5.

40 to 60 on 5870 with high settings on 1920x1080.

Darn, was looking four am excuse to buy a 7970 GHz edition.

Yes, it's better than
everything
.
AND LOL.
the game is easily worth the $60 if not more.


Also careful everyone what you say in /map chat.
People have been getting 72 hour suspensions for abusive language/racial/homophobic slurs.
Not really sure if I agree with someone being banned for calling other people "faggots" but whatevs.

when you zoom out of your map it shows the level range of all of the areas (explored/non-explored)
There should be a 25-35 area around somewhere.

There's only one and I ran all the way to one end of it. Lowest I could find was 28.

But seriously...only one area for 25-35? Weak.

In other news, I am finding the Plains of Ashford absolutely infuriating in its layout. Metrica was so good.

Well, that 25-35 area is connected to everyone.
There is also a 30-40 area that seems cool.
I gain a bunch of exp just crafting stuff and doing my personal storyline.

Also it's good to visit the lower level other starting areas, for all the skill points.
I just hit 30 and don't have enough Skill points for my elite.
Definitely gonna run around noob areas now :b

And yeah plains of ashford is my least favorite but I still like it.
Metrica is fuckin boss.

Yea, 25-30 seems a bit lacking. But after that point, Fields of Ruin is my favorite zone I've been to so far. Honestly 20-30 was pretty lacking, but from 30 on it got really good. Blazeridge is where you start to get constant large events (there are 3 major chains in that zone).

I particularly enjoyed 20-30 but mostly because my storyline around that point started getting really awesome.

GUYS
At some point in your storyline you must choose between joining:
Order of Whispers, The Vigil, or Priory.
You will be able to get special armor dedicated to whichever group you join.
Here is what those armors look like:


Priory:

Order of Whispers:

Vigil:

I chose Vigil and I'm glad for my guardian, because IMO they have the best (female) heavy armor. I'd hide the helmet though obv.

So uh

I looked up AC Explorable videos. First,
all
of the path choices involve defending somethingoranother from spawning burrows. The scenery is different, but the event is essentially the same.

Second, there's a trap trigger in the event room. Pulling the lever will spawn spike traps which KILL ENTIRE WAVES OF BUG SHIT at once. We tried to aoe everything down. Whoops.
So high, so low, so many things to know.

Just a tip for you guys, if you feel you are leveling too slow or feel behind, do some professions. Cooking helped me get around 3-4 levels. You can get everything from the shopkeeper dude.

Seems silly to go out of my way to detour from Dynamic Events and Hearts to grind bandits for cloth and pick flowers for cooking though
