    there seem to be two at the moment. There's the Codex Decline Squad on Yak's bend if you're in the kwa. You can prolly contact sovard for that. The Kodex Kool Krew are on Seafarer's rest in EU. I can toss you an invite. Or Berekän can. Or suicidebunny.

    So is this official? You nigs need to get more organized. Seems like a piss poor effort. Where's the leadership? Do you think you're going to WIN this way?

    If I ever play this I don't want to be on the same guild as HHR

    Yeah, just r-click, or click once to select and choose the skill you want to use, that can be better if you are opening with a debuff/disable rather than primary attack.

    they prolly thought that people skipping all the carefully written text in gw1 was bad, and the carefully written text needed to be more in your face, also more majestic... and cinematic... and fully voiced...

    I am enjoying it, although I am only level 20 Human Guardian. There were couple of times when I couldn't find new events or was always late to the party, left running around like a headless chicken so I wasted some time. Nevertheless I like this event / quest system, which feels more as a group activity rather than solo, especially right now when low level areas are populated.

    I've selected armorsmithing as my first craftsmanship, but I am extremely short on Jutes and crude salvaging didn't provide satisfactory results so I'll try to switch to journeyman's kit. According to gw2 wiki these jutes can be found on bandits so I'll guess I'll have to dedicate some time to farm them up so I can finally reach 75 skill level.

    What does the guild provide for the player? What are the benefits in terms of mechanics of joining the guild? I'll message you in game Ulminati in the evening when I get home.

    not that different from gw1's low level cap, though i would have preferred it and the good old hunting for skills over the new system, though hunting for skillpoints instead isn't that bad. at least some are actually difficult to get.

    Whats bad are the Charr story scenes. Everything is like something out of a horrible 80's action movie. Its all "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum" lines with army/tribe macho bullshit thrown in. If I recall an exact line - "I want a barrel of whiskey and you dead... And I'm gonna that second one now!" said with horrible monotonous stoic voice acting. Yeah... People get paid for this...

    Also just me or does the game just throw so much loot at you that its just ridiculous? I mean I'll be killing simple basic enemies my level and its just a none stop items that I would want to loot if my bags weren't constantly full... Is this a way to con me into buy more bag/bank/storage space?

    Do you know how long it took to reach max level in Guild Wars 1? Not long.

    Do you know how much it meant to reach max level in Guild Wars 1? Fuck-all.

    Most of the crowd - since it got so much hype it attracted wow-players and other streamlined target audience - in GW2 wont pvp much, except sticking to zergs, hi.
    Once they run out of PvE content and they will run out soon, they will move. Question what would be game of the month for crowds, D3-GW2-next (call-of-duty?)?

    Because caring is good for your soul, bro.
    Also this is nice setup for drama "I thought it was AWESUM game" a month later. Look at D3 topics. As it was not clear it was totally crap from the start.

    You missed decent game. Despite it having same name tag, its as different from sequal as D3 from D2, for example.
    About complaining and grinding, not sure how you got this conclusion. Its mostly about anticipating fun to had when another game of the month go flop. If you think a bit, if you want to label me as complaining, it would not games, but streamlined dumbed-down audience. To which they cater since they need huge sales to profit.
    Industry will bake out games like this each month at least, there is no point to complain about particular game. It is one of many - and it just caters to existing TA.

    For someone so butthurt about the game you sure seem to be obsessed, Whisper.

    The worst part is that you focus on things that are utterly irrelevant. The stories suck? No shit, it's a MMO. If anyone was expecting any different, they're either naive or clueless. Second, who gives a shit if WoW drones move on? That's actually good for the community. Not to mention that those types of players are usually so hyped after gobbling up all the bullshit PR campaigns and media write-ups that there's no way in hell that any game would ever satisfy them.

    As for your other points, you seem to be implying that unless a game has a massive audience that doesn't drop over time then it's a flop, but then you go on to complain about streamlined dumbed-down content(TM). If there's a game that will ever achieve such an user base, it will probably be the most streamlined game ever envisioned.

    Anyway you're just grasping at straws and attempting to construe things that have been known and expected about the game for quite some time, if you had bothered to do any research on it, as these massive implementation failures. Your wankery about the time it takes to reach the level cap is pretty amusing, even, considering how any developer can mimic the exponential xp growth common in Korean MMOs. It doesn't relate 1:1 to content at all.
