What's a way to make this somewhat more challenging? GW2 isn't really designed for you to sit around and grind through mobs 'til 80. The XP from killing mobs is okay, but it's not much different between zones. So you're much better off doing map completion in level appropriate zones because a lot of that stuff requires you to kill mobs anyway. So while you're killing the mobs you're supposed to be completing some kind of slightly more interesting bonus objective that's going to give XP. If you want to increase the challenge for yourself then there's no reason you can't go into a zone above your level and start doing map completion there. You're not going to get any bonus XP for mobs above your level, but it does feel like more of a game than steamrolling through Caledon in 2 hours. The only thing I was annoyed by is that WvW with a good commander is the fastest way to level in the game. So somewhere around 60 I stopped exploring because it felt like a slog compared to the fast leveling I was getting in WvW. I was having a decent amount of fun exploring new areas and doing content until then, though.

Do sPvP, get Tomes, level up! sPvP does have balance issues though, well only if you play Warrior.

When I first played, my PC struggled to handle the WvW stuff and kinda gave up on the game after a while. I've since upgraded my machine but I'm curious to know what the state of the WvW part of the game is. Is it still populated enough to be fun?

Unfortunately it's the kind of problem they might not notice even if they had test servers, because there would be less people running around and they'd likely be more 'in the know' types anyway. But it's the same thing that annoys me about the HoT map meta events, there's some times where you just have to sit around waiting for poo poo to re-cycle over two hours and then hope an effort map comes together. And then spend an hour and a half actually doing the thing if you want full participation, because I guess they were trying to avoid the Silverwastes LFG metagame of hopping into 70% complete maps for full rewards. If there were any form of small group, semi-casually accessible content that required a bit more consciousness than mining iron, I'm sure they'd find a way to make you have to clear out a bunch of dumb events randomly to get into it anyway.

Adhesive Gamin posted:On the other hand, "hey I organized this map full of people so we can get our sparkle pistols, please don't ruin it" is an open invitation. Think about it from the other perspective. The event is there. Maybe you've completed it a bunch before. Then someone comes into map chat demanding you not complete it for a reason that seems pretty crazy based on your past experience. To give the benefit of the doubt to the party saying "dude, don't complete it yet, I'm almost there," cedes a lot of weird control to random people in map chat dictating how the encounter should go. It very well could lead to anybody voicing an opinion about the event being ceded control even if they don't know what they're doing. People say crazy poo poo in MMO's all the time. People try to take control of situations constantly. The idea that this person saying this thing should have been listened to is kind of a dangerous precedent to set. Yeah, this time they were right. Most of the time they are clearly loving wrong. The blame goes to ANet for designing an encounter that would make players antagonistic toward each other without sign-posting like WvW that makes it clear that it makes sense to be antagonistic.

This is one case where I think roleplaying wouldn't be totally lame. "I am a mercenary hired by the Lionguard to kill so-and-so. I have 100G riding on this mission. If you can double their offer, I could look the other way."

What's a way to make this somewhat more challenging? Truly, the only game types capable of constantly surprising me with good times and close-calls are sPvP and less so, small group WvW. Both are good for leveling characters. Another thing that makes the game more interesting (not more challenging) is working together with people you know. ...And that is why any Goon interested in PvP should join Eurozone Danse Party (UNTZ) the premiere Goon PvP listing, contact Germany in game for an invitation.

I'm coming back to the game after about a year away and was wondering how necros fared in the expansion? I struggled to get one to level 20 at launch and soon ditched it to play other classes but reaper looks cool as hell. Also, have the elite specs done wonders for their respective classes or is it hit and miss?

This gets repeated every couple of pages but the general consensus is the daredevil and berserker are lackluster but all the others are good. Reaper is quite fun and can be built a few different ways. You can go tanky, minion heavy, power, condi or hybrid.

Try waiting for the drawn gs idle animation to cycle to the part where he lifts it up, pats, it, then holds it out in front of him For instance;    Also reaper lets you scream corpses out of the ground, which is something I wasn't expecting when they announced it
