I am now a Guild Wars player... any tips?

[Bahamut]

I purchased GW yesterday... and man oh man I am enjoying it already. I am playing a ranger and I was wondering when do I get my pet companion. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And what time do you guys play? I am GMT +8.

Any tips would be appreciated as well

You get your pet companion in a quest in pre-searing (pre-searing = Ascalon before the charr invasion)

The quests name is The Ranger's Companion and the quest you obtain from Master Ranger Nente in Regent Valley.


I'm GMT+1 and i play pretty often during the day. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I play as Elementalist/necromancer and have finished the game with this character.
I have a level 12 ranger which goal is to get to the dessert part of the game in as low level as possible, and i'm pretty close to do that. Just one mission away and i'm there.
Last time i got to the dessert i was level 20.

My name is Bubbe Gubbe ingame (yes i know, very silly name [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) so you can contact me if you want. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not silly really [img]smile.gif[/img]

How long's the game RPG-wise?

Can I have more than one animal companion? Hehehe

Right now I am a lvl 5 ranger/elementalist. It's fun! I think the Ranger/Mesmer combo would do better though but I just want to have fun anyway so I picked Elementalist

Sure I'll search for you!

My tips to you: Enjoy the game while it lasts, and don't get run anywhere. Play the game through from mission to mission, and don't listen to those arseholes who say that it's only doable 'one way'. It's fairly easy to do the missions before crystal desert using almost any kind of decent build, as long as you play intelligently.

Unfortunately, I play usually at nighttime, GMT-5h00, so it'll be kind of hard for us to play together.

How long's the game RPG-wise?

There are 24 missions in all, each taking about usually a half hour to an hour to complete. That's the 'main storyline' in other RPGs. There are many quests, so don't sweat about levelling your character; it'll level up plenty fine if you just go about the game normally. But there really is no roleplaying in this game that I could find.

"While it lasts"? Yikes... I hope that will still last me a long time... (after all i got this game late)

Well so far it is interesting

Hey welcome to the game!

Ranger Mesmer is a kick ass combo and I have one sitting @ Yaks bend at the moment.

You can have only one Pet at a time.

And this night I played from 2pm to 6pm in the tombs.
A PvP arena which you reach Hall of Heroes if you are good enough.
You can se a message sometime in the chat
"Team has won a fight in Hall of heroes etc"
I manage to join a kickass team but we never reached Hall of heroes.
I got 17 fame points, had 32 before, now i have 49. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyone here want to play the tombs sometimes? msg me ingame. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Bahamut]

Thanks guys for the warm welcome!

Now, I'll just invite you in-game by typing your character names right?

Yes I want to join your guild T-D-C. I want a cape too! Hehehe that's all.

Right now I am on sembreak so I can play pretty much whenever I want so I'll probably see you guys sometime

Please add me guys because I don't know your names besides Bubbbe Gubbe (I'll search you). My character's name is Elyssa Shiftarrow for what it's worth [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey Bahamut,

I'll add you to the Shadowsworn's ranks now. Just hit "G" on your keyboard and it should say that you've been invited. Then all you've gotta do is accept.

Hopefully you can catch us all online at some stage soon.

-Dave
