I have the game but I'm not really enjoying it.. I'm leveling up a Necromancer and I feel they're just too underpowered, im around level 16 now, the quests are kind of boring and discovering the map sometimes gets annoying although I'm really enjoying the main story
if any of you guys have a guild, then hit me up

I agree with Safo, for me GW2 was also a breath of fresh air, something that felt unique and different from the traditional mmorpgs that i became so bored of. As for the lack of end game, it's a positive thing to know that the developers are constantly working on new content, with the nearest coming out in a matter of week or so (the Halloween patch) so i'm hopeful that exciting content will be released in the future.
DarkNe, What server you're currently playing on? I'm in a guild with some of the guys here (Baddieh, Draguen). As for classes, i played thief and got him to level 15 but never got me super excited so i switched to a ranger and i'm enjoying it thus far. I'm a fan of the ranged classes i guess.

DarkNe0441, we are on Gandara server in a Lebanese guild called Phoenician Lords, you are welcome to join us.
As for the Necromancer, I have a level 80 necro, you just need to learn how to play him. They aren't underpowered, they got amazing survivability, and rely on damage over time instead of burst damage.
Suggestions for you:
1- Go Minion Master, it will make your leveling way faster and easier. Although I went full Toughness and Vitality and wells specced, but for underwater fight definitely use minions or you will have a hard time killing.
2- If you prefer a proper Pet class go ranger, or if you prefer a proper burst class go Elementalist. I also suggest trying mesmer as they look quite fun to play. If you didn't like how the necromancer play style feels try something else, or you will get bored and hate the game.

I'm on Fissure of Woe, I feel I've done the wrong world selection.. My world is really failing on WvW
I know how to play the Necro.. well I guess I do. I'm using a two handed staff which is basically based on AoE spells with DoTs etc.. I just don't know. I have a thief as well, it was fun in the beginning with all the jumping and stuff but then it got boring. I don't really like classes with pets, that's why I'm not focusing on pets with my Necro. I might try Mesmer and Elemantalist then make my final decision
edit: I might switch to Gandara and join you guys :-D
edit 2: okay, I'm on Gandara. My character's name is Xepyth, hit me up when you're online.

Best Professions to play, in my opinion, are: Guardian, Engineer, Warrior. If you have any of those 3 in your group they are major help. Strongest class is the Guardian by far. Stack Healing power stats and goodluck killing him!
I play a necro, I do a lot of PvE (Explorables) and I think they have a high skill cap, so people that play them will get a first impression that they are bad but in reality you just have to get better at playing the class. I play a Power oriented build (Axe/Dagger - Staff combo), pretty much unkillable only to ranged attacks that I have to dodge.
So, no, the Necro isn't underpowered at all. They excel verrry well in PvE and PvP if you play conditions build. Learn how to use Spectral Grasp and you'll make some fights super easy for others :)

Here is a question for all your guys. You're currently playing GW2 with how much ping? Recently my ping skyrocketed to 350 and it fucks up the gameplay big time. I'm with sodetel btw.
Draguen
@DarkNe0441, mate i need your account name to be able to invite you in the guild even if you are offline, mine is Drageun.8674
as for iin game gameplay, i play a necro level 80 and 400 in tailoring, i just can't get to try another class, the necro is just incredibly difficult to kill, either if you are going pet master or AOE (wells) then you're going to give to your enemies a hard time, between death shroud, life stealing and some healing AOEOT, it's just non stop fun against enemy players :P i play with a staff and scpeter/focus, staff for AOE and running away, and the scepter to kite the enemy with it's 900 range and the focus to cripple the enemy
Plus don't forget that either with pets or AOE, you will hit a lot of enemies during combats(WvWvW), which means a lot of XP when they die..... the only badside in my opinion is the underwater combat, just don't try it with a necro, because you will be so much useless than even a level 3 mob could kill you.
@Ruroken, i play with a 1MB connection from ogero, i live in sodeco and usually ping from 100 to 150 ms

I'll keep on leveling my Necro then, haha

Safo there is no best profession in my opinion, every class is good at something. Are you a Guardian? If you fought against a Necro you will watch all your boons turn into conditions. If a Necro uses Lich form, he can push the Guardian to use his Ult way early. As for the Engineer, they got damage over time instead of burst damage just like necro. Warriors got good burst damage but they can end up glass cannons. Now you might think wow, Necromancers are amazing, bring one mesmer and a Necro is done for. The transformation ult of a mesmer can shut down Necromancer Lich form anytime, and using it on a Minion Master Necromancer will make the minions vanish and force them into their long cooldowns. As for Elementalists, amazing burst damage, not much survivability. Thieves, good burst damage, good escape abilities, can end up as a glass cannon as well.
So every class got their strengths and weaknesses.
How are you all able to check your in game ping? The only way i found was through task manager.
safo
using Ogero 1mb/s, no lag unless my brother starts watching Youtube and my Mother using Facebook >_<

Hey lads,i found this website by mistake while searching for helping contents for gw2, so my question is are you guys still playing the game actively ? if yes so i can transfer to your server and join the guild .
Account name :Bresker.1846
Badieh
Hey Bresker, the guild is pretty much dead as barely anyone coming online. I spend most of the time in another guild.
Ruroken
Whenever i decide to put more time into GW2 something comes up in real life and keeps me away from it. Hopefully this weekend i'll get to 80. But as Badieh said, from what i noticed as well, the guild is almost empty at all times.

Does anyone know a way to download the game before purchasing it? according to the official site, i have to buy it first.
Badieh
Well, are you going to buy a key or the original retail DVD ? If you are going to buy the key, it doesn't matter whether you download the game after because there are no "subscription fees." But if you want to buy the original retail DVD, then definitely wait till then because you will only need to patch it, and not download the whole thing.
In either case I would find someone who already has the game and lives close to get the game fully patched.
samdib87
Hello,
Anyone would be kind enough to let me copy the game off of him, I don't want to spend so much money + time downloading it.
Thanks in advance.
By the way - You all got a newbie on your hands :P
Badieh
Hey Sam,
Yesterday a big patch was released, so hopefully tonight ill be patching it to be up to date. If you can reach Down Town, I'll be able to meet up with you and give you the game fully patched.
samdib87
Hey Badieh,
Thanks a lot for the reply. I got it somehow patched and done. I have no idea what I'm doing in game. I joined the same server you guys are in. My name on it is Vauglivan and my account name is Sam.7682 We can meet up online whenever you're free after we both finish work.
And thanks once again for the reply :)
Badieh
Awesome mate! I will add you today when I get back home hopefully. And send you a request to our small and cozy Lebanese guild xD
Opeth
Well I finally got the game yesterday only to find a huge patch waiting for me :P since I live in bshemoon it's downloading at 50kbps for me.
