level difference - Guild Wars Forums

will the casual gamer get left behind by the power gamer in PvP? It's been said that alot is player skill based but how does that work? Also, is there level ranges you can group with and how hard is it to get groups?

Thanks

I dunno....I can't think of a game where the casual gamer DOESN'T get left behind by the

POWER GAMER

. I mean... there wouldn't be a difference between the two otherwise...

fron GW

Guild Wars, in contrast, is based around your skill as a player. Our maximum level is twenty and you hit that very quickly, after about 20-30 hours of play. ,We call that 'The Point of Ascension'. Almost all of the content in the game and in the future Chapters is only available to Ascended characters, which means we don't have to worry about providing different levels of content. All the good stuff will be available to everyone. It's not our intent to force people onto the levelling up treadmill, so the level cap in Guild Wars is almost meaningless.

i solo but have heard grouping is easy

free henchmen are available as well

Since the level cap is only 20 and you can quickly hit it just doing the missions and small quests the powergamer in Guild Wars only advantage is really putting experience under his belt. I'm not talking about character experience but the knowledge the player gets from practice. It's akin to the comparasion of a casual Quake/Counterstrike gamer vs one who plays Quake/Counterstrike a lot more.

As far as grouping, any level of players can group together. I, at level 20, have grouped with friends that had level 6-8 chars in post sear Ascalon to help them get through missions.

You can solo by yourself, group with henchman (which is like soloing since no other real person will be with you), or find a group.

Finding a group really isn't that hard as long as people are on and in that zone. Some zones, particularly mission zones, are almost always packed with people. Outpost zones are sometimes empty depending on what NPCs are there and how useful they are to people.

I've never had a problem finding people who want to group. Make lots of friends and/or join a guild to assure your chances of getting groups and increase your gameplay fun
