i will never forget this...

My question was... how come guild wars doesnt total up the total armor u got (came from wow) and y does the hands and feet piece cost less materials than chest and legs if they have same stats?

thot total armor was each piece adding to each other so when i was wearing my knights armor i thot i had 400 armor. Then a person taught me how armor works in this game and now i know y chest and legs cost more :P

"How do you make an armor?"

I didn't ask this question out loud (thank god) but I reached the Northern Shiverpeaks and a Dwarven Armor dropped for me. Upon realising that it said 'Armor: 19' - higher than my armour - i tried to wear it.

I thought to myself: "Why the hell isn't this going on," after minutes of double-clicking and draggin and dropping. :P

I had the same thing happen. I was in Pre on my first char (a mes nonetheless) until I was like lvl 8 or 9. Took me weeks to get there, and I thought that this new game Guild Wars was pretty cool, the world seemed to be huge, and I wouldn't run out of things to do very fast, some of those quests were freaking hard, and those charr outside the gate were impossible!! I finally got to Post and looked at the map, and I was like "crap........" I couldn't believe that a game could be that huge. I had no idea how anyone could travel that much land.

Me and my husband started playing together last year. Luckily he asked all the stupid questions, and I asked him. I think the worst was " What is a build? "

And my most stupid mistake was when I got a Green Weapon and I could not sell it at the merchant. I thought to myself that's stupid so I discarded it. I want to kick myself for this one.

Experience is very difficult to gain, because you first write the test and then learn your lessen.

I never felt like asking any questions, so i was in a party heading oout to nail Galrath, when someone asked me why i, being a necro, was running around with a hammer xD

I got my first character to the Wilds and couldn't figure out why I kept dying so often. Turns out Pre-Sear armor was not meant for the Jungle. Who knew???

Also in Pre-Sear I bought Gwen a stupid flute, but hit the button too many times so I had 4 of them. The stupid merchant wouldn't buy them back from me, so I had no idea how I would ever get them out of my inventory. A few days later I noticed the trash bin on my inventory screen. Heh. Oops!

A guildee picked her character based on looks and outfits alone, she's such a girl. She picked mesmer for her character, and a hammer as her weapon, took hours to get that damn hammer away from her...lol.

Same guildee needed people to help her get through Fort Ranik cause it was just impossible, yeah she tried to fight all the char instead of using the catapults. So we help her out, and she gets all excited when she realizes catapults can kill from a distance, so she starts clicking madly on them, not realizing her teammates are directly under them. GRRRR....

Finally, and this was after she had been playing for over 6 months, we get her to factions, we are helping her do a quest. Suddenly we see her character just go running off and we ask her, "where are you going?" to which she states, "I'm following you guys." Um....

Turns out she followed some random canthan peasant to god knows where, after 10 minutes of looking, we finally found her body and I rezzed her under protest. Ah the good ole days.

The guy i was teamed up with two years ago when I started playing is probably still laughing because I asked him...

"Can I pick up some of the gold so I can get a fair share?"

I, umm, didn't realize that each gold drop picked up was automatically shared.

If I put attribute points in Swordsmanship, is it permanent?

Hobbs · May 22, 2007, 05:17 PM // 17:17

After seeing "WTS: Purple Long sword 3k" I asked "Why are purple weapon worth so much? Purple dye is only 200g from the trader"

Ouchie · May 22, 2007, 06:40 PM // 18:40

"Where do I get glittering dust?"

One person tried to sell me some for 1000g each

another person told me about the material trader

Later I found out about salvaging it for myself.

Even farther down the road I found out about guildwiki

It's easy not to know things when you first start out, too bad there aren't more nice people to help new people out.

Where is everybody? I was in Sanqua Vale lol.

Destinyy · May 23, 2007, 11:35 AM // 11:35

I see no-one has mentioned this one yet...

Not so much a stoopid question, but more a stoopid statement...

(in Trade chat) - WTS - Many blue weapons, whisp to see!!!

The odd thing is, I actually sold a few of them too... hehehehe, 200g ftw

I'm not generally the sort to go into an unfamiliar gaming environment and start asking stupid questions. I prefer to just watch people and pick things up myself....
... but after despairing for a while with the then-young Chae Soon on Shing Jea, I asked in the monastary:

"Could someone tell me some good solo-skills for an Assassin?"

[Some griefer nasty had told me that Assassins were good for soloing when I'd asked on GameFAQs before buying the game. That was the main reason I started playing as one in the first place. If it weren't for herohench now I'd probably have given up the game entirely.]

I think perhaps one of my classic idiocies was noticing some people around Shing Jea making strange comments... and I tried replying to them....

... and I only found out later that they were going for the Drunkard title and the automated comments were just a side-effect of drinking booze in-game.
Yes. I spent about half an hour trying to have a one-sided (and very confusing) conversation with drunkard automated remarks.

not so much saying something but i changed districts because my friend was on the other side of town and i thought that he was in a different district, even though we were both in dist 1

Painbringer · May 23, 2007, 05:16 PM // 17:16

If you die do you have to start over?

Ouchie · May 23, 2007, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Here's some more I thought of -

if we can rez when we die ---- Why can't Rurik?
Will we run out of rezes one day?

June 2005, somewhere north of Surmia: "Do we ever get to see a green place again?"

I randomly wandered from the Courthouse to Yaks. I can't describe how good it felt to walk that last few hundred paces in the Ascalon Foothills and see the scenery slowly change to white snow and green trees.
