I wasn't aware one could disable them. thanks for the heads up

Oh, thats what they mean by Pre-Searing Ascalon and Post-Searing Ascalon. Here I was thinking that it had something to do with cooking in the game. Silly me.

Instruction books are for kids.

Its a checkbox in the main chat window. You still see the visual emotes just notthe text line that accompanies them.

I'll admit it... I do that all the time

It is amazing how nice the game is with emotes, trade and local chat turned off. I run around and see a bunch of people dancing, I get my business done in town and head back out. I saved up to make a guild for 3 of us to avoid the 57 guild invites I get a day.

The only maintanence now is clicking the decline group button 5 times per visit

What a wonderfully quiet MMORPG :P

Just me my lil girl and best friend, ohh and our friendly Monk hirling.

I love it!

Maybe we could make a nice "RTFM" section on this site for people to go to.

Guy: "Hey, what button jumps? How do I get to Lakeside County? Why can I only make parties of two people?"

Me: "www.guildwarsguru.com/rtfm.html"

Well... it would be funny anyways.

Good Idea...people don't look around or bother reading. It was the same in WoW people get a quest look at the objectives and spam general looking for where random mob x was or where random dude y is. It got really annoying, so most of the time I told them wrong info.

The IOU · May 04, 2005, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Ninja invites can be annoying. BUT in coop mission areas I expect them and hopefully other people do as well.

Houdini · May 04, 2005, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Does anybody else find it annoying that you cannot see other people countryside? I've always found the ability to constatntly interact and run around other players to be the entire reason for playing MMORPGs. Maybe its just my lack of guild or grouping so far though... or did i just install it wrong lol

KillersKarma · May 04, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

a few things i find slightly dissapointed in this game are, the inability to enter buildings, and how they dont have an auction house/ bizzarre setup where you can sell things when your away from your computer like ffxi had...im not sure if i like the lvl cap or not, havent reached it....

All I have to say is: "Where is Buzzbox 411?!"

Yeah, that's a WoW joke. I'm sad.

oNEYUS · May 04, 2005, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after you complete all the primary quests, and return the respective quest givers for the rewards, Sir tydus no longer has an ! over his head. I myself was wondering how to get into the academy having completed all the quests, I looked at Tydus who did NOT have an ! overhead and clicked on him to talk. He had an option to go into the academy which I took and there i was in post-searing Ascalon.

They need to put in a ! over Tydus' head so people know to talk to him again after all of the primary quests are done.

---to my knowledge this is not an MMORPG.

I agree and had the same trouble. I had no clue I needed to talk to him because of no "!".

See other people contryside? Not sure what you mean? When you zone to Old Ascalon, etc. (other then the teleport areas) you are given your "own" copy of that zone. So no one (other then your party members) will be in that zone with you. I think you are talking like EQ or something where you can see people in zones outside the teleport areas? if not I don't know what you mean...

Grim_Grom · May 04, 2005, 07:27 PM // 19:27

He's right, lots of people do all the quests, and have no idea where to go, remember Sir Tydus, dosen't have a question mark above his head to do the Post Searing quest thing.

Merarite · May 04, 2005, 07:38 PM // 19:38

I have to say I found a little bit of confusion with PSA also. But after reading Tydas saying something to the effect of 'when you accept this theres no turning back' made me make sure I had done everything before I left. Its not that difficult really I dont think theres much problem with it. If you read and involve yourself in the storyline your fine. Even if you were just to read the couple of lines Tydas says your fine.

So the moral of this story is err read :P

Elythor · May 04, 2005, 07:47 PM // 19:47

Correctly me if I'm wrong....but don't they have a quest that says "Enter the Academy" or some such?

If not, then Anet should keep that quest at the top of the Quest list (and mark it as primary) all the time until the player has actually entered the academy.

Zai · May 04, 2005, 07:51 PM // 19:51

Yes he does have a ! over his head. You get a quest from any guard to talk to him, he gets a ! over his head, you finish that quest and he tells you right then about the event and how you should talk to him again when you are ready. From that point on he has no !, but if you had read what he told you there would be no confusion.

In a RPG you need to read everything a NPC tells you.

Devil's Dictionary · May 04, 2005, 08:22 PM // 20:22

but reedng is so har d!1 1!
(Haven't re-read the above like because reading is hard

)

ESRB is missing the picture: it's not the question whether you can show female breasts to a 15 years old but the question of whether he'll be able to read the game manual. I believe that only people able to spell "someone" (it's not sum1, dammit!) should be allowed to play RPGs.

C-Tzar · May 04, 2005, 09:17 PM // 21:17

I think it's fine the way it is. Actually, it should be more obscure than it it to weed out even more of the l4merz that won't read so we don't have to put up with as many of them outside the noob area.
