That PvP would one day be Politics and not skill, so that way I could build rep with as many high enders I could find so getting a group would be 10 minutes instead of 45.

that Anet would abandon their original statements that this wasn't a game spent about time spent playing and that they would continually introduce more and more focus on grind into the game.

Same here lol.

Other than that, that collector armor existed. Honestly, I think that's it. :P

haha so true. I thought what a useless piece op drop is this when I got the dyes in pre.

That taking a break from GW to play WoW would not be worth it ... does that count?

Yawgmoth · Feb 22, 2010, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Nothing. Everything important to know BEFORE even STARTING to play was already public information. And everything else I was able to learn as everyone did when everything was new.

I could say I wish I knew how many thousands of hours will this game take from my life, but having played just 1 beta event I just knew it was going to be a huge lot.

i wish i would have known that all of my max q8 gold items would someday be worth a fortune.

I merch a 15^50 q8 brute sword that at one point was worth 300k 2 years later.

That it was so much better than Ragnarok online.
I got up to great northern wall, then quit because I couldn't find the lever to open the gate (SEE: Lever was right next to gate). Delayed my best gaming experience by close to a year.

that elementalists should not be running around with swords. i had to run around as an E/W until i ascended.

that Shield of Regen on an ele as an elite is not good.

WoW used to be a good game... Blizz has been shooting themselves in the foot lately. But I'd say it counts

How bout wish I knew how much loot I'd get from Killroy's punchout thingy in hardmode. Seriously reminds me of the days I ran a 55 monk.

EPO Bot · Feb 22, 2010, 08:03 AM // 08:03

That black dye is expensive.

TheRaven · Feb 22, 2010, 12:01 PM // 12:01

There isn't much that I wish I knew. I enjoyed my newbie days and it was alot of fun running around in a brand new world exploring and learning new things as I went. Sure, my builds weren't the best but they got the job done and my friends didn't criticize.

My worst mistake was customizing a weapon. My first character was an Assassin/Ranger and she used a bow. Not the best idea in the world, but I thought bows were more fun and kept me away from the action and alive. (No it wasn't crit barrage, but that's what my assassin uses today). A guildie set me straight on builds and gave me a set of gold daggers and taught me how to use them. The daggers were a gift so I customized them. It seemed wrong to sell a gift.

Flashforward 3 years.....that assassin has since been re-rolled, i've changed guilds and the guildie that gave me the daggers no longer plays. However i found those customized daggers buried on a storage mule. Req 8 Oni Daggers, 15% over 50, perfect mods. Never give a newbie anything expensive.

Today I never customize my weapons. Just isn't worth it IMO. In PvE I don't think i need the extra 20% to succeed and i risk losing a weapon i may sell later.

Only reason that sucks is the req 8 and the fact that the 15^50 is probably inherent rather than an inscription. In most cases I just use green weapons, which I have no issue customizing, that and anything req 9+ as they'll never be so "rare" that you can't find them again. It would be nice though if customization was account based rather than character.

I wish I had known that dervishes were outclassed in everything they can do worth doing, so that I'd have made a warrior instead.

Maybe so, but something about running my dervish with 2 dervish heroes, and all of us hitting Chilling Victory at the same time is strangely satisfying.

I wish I'd known what Soul Reaping was for, I remember my first character being a N/E with all fire magic spells. Once I got to pugging the jungle-missions, one of the people in the PuG I joined asked me how much points I had in Soul Reaping, I replied; 0, I have no Soul Reaping skills.

Other then that, I wish I'd known about the THK monk strikes, and how fast they'd be over. I deleted that first character there because I couldn't complete the mission.

Oh, and I wish I'd known that by the time I got to playing a monk, that the 55 Protective Bond griffon farm was outdated. Deleted my second character there because somehow 'the build didn't work

' and I misspelled the ingame name.

Fun times.

DBMan · Feb 22, 2010, 02:34 PM // 14:34

Wondering where everybody was outside of outposts.

Shake N Bake · Feb 22, 2010, 04:30 PM // 16:30

That there was a Gwwiki and Pvx Wiki.

DigitalFear · Feb 22, 2010, 06:21 PM // 18:21

That the game was actually fun back when I played my first two hours then thought it sucked and quitted...

I came back like 15 months ago, far beyond the low reqs, rare stuff and more than three districts in HA...
