To Former Ruling, and everyone: I appreciate your putting that on this page, however, I already stated this in my original post. All you are doing is putting what I said on a different page. Please actually READ my original post.
To Clawdius and everyone:All games take after some other game(s) in one or more ways...the same way Windows Vista is taking after Apple with their scrolling menu thingamagig. And how almost every RPG takes a LOT from D&D...there is, of course, people taking from others, especially with the cost of actually making the games, they don't want a high risk of the game sucking. Seriously, you are basing your question off of a thread that is basically a laughing stock. Why is that sort of question even in a thread like this?

On the other hand, there is no point in time where your post will ever have any use.

I'm guessing that all the people that said they found this thread useful were just lying? And are you expecting that I post a thread before I get the game? Because a year ago, I still played Runescape. If it was posted a year ago, it wouldn't be facts, it would be the future. If YOU don't find them useful or already knew them, so what? Not everyone knows everything, as seen in people in ascalon or pre going ?dance because they don't read the emote list or bother asking anyone. Besides, it's JUST Guild Wars facts, not Useful Hints. Some of these facts aren't USEFUL, but then again, what is the USE of playing Guild Wars at all? The same reason some of those facts are there: they interest us. Guild Wars isn't my diploma, it isn't my degree, it isn't my job, it's what I do for fun. Thanks for the free bump, even if your post wasn't exactly accurate or well thought out. Nice display of ignorance.

No, your post said (and still says): "If you switch from a regular bow to a different bow, the arrow that hits from attacking with the first bow will be considered as if it was from the bow you switch to."

Which is really only 1 peice of what the whole point was about bows...So my post added on the (Frankly More Important) fact that ALL situations pan out at the time of arrow hit - including Conditions/etc on your ranger that effect the hit, most important of which probably is Blindness.

----------------

You might also like to add about Rangers:
At Nightfall release the Primary Attribute "Expertise" was reworked and reworded. It used to effect any Non-spell skill in the game. Many still assume it works like this. [From threads here on the forum, and posts on the Wiki many assume the new workings of Expertise are a "bug" in certain skills because of how expertise used to work]

Expertise now only effects what is SPECIFICALLY mentioned in its wording. Which for reference (not part of the fact) is: All attack skills, All Rituals [both nature and binding], any skill with touch range (more on this in a minute), and ALL ranger skills no matter type.

Meaning it no longer effects most of other profession's skills (only the before mentioned attack skills, rituals, and touch range skills), and now can effect SOME Spells (One's that are Touch Range of course like Mending Touch, Restore Life, and Starburst).

I'm surprised how many people DON'T realize that Expertise is changed now, given the number of edits to the Wiki calling it a bug that Expertise effects Mending Touch (a spell), or doesn't effect plain "skills" from other classes now.

you were never allowed to bring candycanes/ghsot in abox, snowmen to pvp.

it is impossible to be at hells precipice at lvl1. this is because the least amount of xp you can get to post is 230 i think, then assuming you rage quit the pvp arena and go back in to post, you get ran to THK there is 1,000xp for mission. since it only takes 2kxp to get lvl2, youd be lvl2 right after the compleastion of ring of fire mission

Flash Sp · Dec 20, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Ok, so I missed a little bit of the message. Didn't register the condition/hexes part I suppose, so i changed the original post to make it all-encompassing. Added Stig Figger's little piece of info.

Transmogrifier Potions don't stop. They last so long as you don't change the district or go to an explorable.

Flash Sp · Dec 22, 2006, 01:35 AM // 01:35

Transmogrifier Tonics last for 30 minutes, unless inturrupted by the mentioned methods.

Exactly, having a new idea is completely dangerous on any martket. How ever this idea could possibly make a good stand, or just suck. So when it comes to ideas, you need to take ideas which are well known and approved by the general users of the product. Which is why i'd like to see things from WoW and Oblivion and so on in Guild Wars.

Added some interesting information about Grognard and his misnamed green drops.

Oh no, Eldred used to farm Zelnehun back during the glitch as a N/R

I could not stop laughing when he did that.

As a noob, I've learned some neat things in here.

One that I haven't seen mentioned, that a lot of my guildies didn't know, was about runes. Most people ID them then salvage them; however, if you then ID them a second time after salvage, you can get a better price from the rune trader for them.

As for cutscene shenannigans...

In one of the Factions missions, where you see Shiro's ghost, we killed the last afflicted before we killed the last of the enemy minions. The last afflicted dying triggered the cutscene. Also, several people had minis. Someone didn't want to skip. So while the cutscene went on and on and on, we were all frozen in place while a couple of minions attacked some of our party, a mini Shiro and a seige turtle wandered around, and a mini jungle troll kept interrupting the dialogue with RAAAWWWWWRR!!!!. It was probably the silliest thing I've seen in GW yet.

Flash Sp · Dec 30, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

Is it ranger PREPARATIONS, or are you talking about nature rituals? Cuz my Necro as an N/R used RTW, and nothing unusual happened.

Jeff Highwind · Dec 30, 2006, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Yes it is preparations. You have to stand still while doing the prep though, don't move for about 3 seconds.

Mini-pets area affected by Varesh's Frost Vortex. This can be seen by getting the mini-pet close enough when Varesh activates the skill. The mini-pet will have the skill animation caused by Frost Vortex but shows no signs of it being affected of slowness or damage.

All Ascalon Guards in Old Ascalon will have the dialog of a male even if it is a female who you speak to. Gets very odd when the female guards talk about their children and wife.

During the Sunspears in Kryta quest, recently added are the town npc's being attacked by the Torment creatures while you close the rifts. While most of the NPC's are warriors, some like Jiaju Tai are Mesmers.

This is true - however, be cautious! Check and see what the trader will give you BEFORE IDing the rune a 2nd time because the trader will give you the ID amount instead of the last paid amount. I Learned this the hard way. I IDed the wrong rune and it dropped from last paid of 2k to the IDed price of 56g.

In the Deep elite mission, after u clear first 2-3 areas, there is a gate that closes, and if u have 2 necros (one with bip and the other consume corpse), u can have the bip sac himself, and when they monk on the other side of the gate uses rebirth, the other necro can ride the necro to the other side. which is pretty fun to do

but requires very very good timing
