Curse

I just bought GW:EN and was only able to play for 20 minutes yesterday. I am at the part in the Hall of Monuments where Gwen, the Asura and the Dwarf are asking me to choose one of them.

Do any of you recommend choosing one over the other two or does it really matter.

Are any of them easier than the other so I can ease into this or just pick one and deal with it.

If it matters, I am playing a R/Mo currently. I have all three full campaigns and all of the heroes from them.

It doesnt really matter, you have to do them all eventually anyway. I would go with the Dwarf simply due to the fact that those missions are in the Far Shiverpeaks, the region you are in now. Getting to the other 2 areas involves going through the Far shiverpeaks, so you might as well complete what is there first.

ssnider75 · Sep 13, 2007, 08:32 PM // 20:32

That makes sense.

I figured I would have to do them all in the end, I just wasn't sure if there was any advantage to doing them in a certain order.

I will go dwarf.

Doesn't really matter which order you did them in, but I think most people followed the dwarf's request their first time through.

Star Gazer · Sep 13, 2007, 08:37 PM // 20:37

aye, i did dwarf, vanguard, then asura...good stuff

ssnider75 · Sep 13, 2007, 08:48 PM // 20:48

Great, thank you all for the input.

Arathi · Sep 13, 2007, 09:57 PM // 21:57

I do Char > Asura > Dwarf cause the dwarf just leads straight within the end areas

OlMurraniKasale · Sep 13, 2007, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Any way is just as good, but doing Ogden's thing means you help out the Norn first, which tends to lead right to the Charr. I've been waiting to unleash holy vengeance on those buggers for years, so I did that next.

Any way is good. If you play for armor though (how odd that is), pick the armor first on guildwiki then go play. There's a LOT of rep points needed to get armor.

If you want to do it by difficulty, I'd say start with the Vanguard, then go Norn followed by the Asura. I personally find the Vanguard areas to be the easiest and shortest, with the Asura the hardest and probably the most time consuming of the three as well. The Norn area seemed to be average difficulty. First time I did it I went Norn, Vanguard, Asura. Of course, as was stated, it doesn't matter which you choose first since you end up doing them all anyway.

MithranArkanere · Sep 13, 2007, 11:32 PM // 23:32

The choice is easy.

If your armor is 80. Go Norn first.
If your armor is 70, go vanguard first.
If your armor is 60, go Asura first.

Whatever you do, ty to get the Dwarf skills first. Light of Deldrimor is a MUST inside dungeons.

hey!

anyway, the norn regions lead to the ebon vanguard and asuran regions. so for first time players, i'd pick norn first as well.

Well, what Mithran was saying was that if you're a Warrior, go Norn because of the skills. If you're a ranger or assassin, go Vanguard, for they have real good ranger and sin skills. Asuran, for casters, has the best caster skills.

kazjun · Sep 14, 2007, 03:39 AM // 03:39

Norn's easy to start with, and not that much travel needed. Also, you can get 6 of the ten new heroes there.

Or Paragon. Norn do have plenty of shouts, and while those shouts are better suited to Warriors than Paragons, the Vanguard and Asura have less to offer the Paragon.

It's essentially a question of the flavour. Vanguard are essentially special ops, so their skills reward a special ops style of play... which means Rangers and Assassins. Asura are spellcasters, so their skills are keyed towards spellcasters, while the Norn just go for brite strength.

That said, Dervishes may be better suited to going Norn first if it's just skills you're after.

MithranArkanere · Sep 14, 2007, 11:00 AM // 11:00

Yeah. And if you have non-max armor. Go GET ONE! XDDD

They are quite cheap in Kaineng.

freekedoutfish · Sep 14, 2007, 11:14 AM // 11:14

You have to do them all anyway and quite honestly, none of them are "hard"! But IMO the Norn are piss easy quests to do, and then maybe the vanguard. The Asura are a bit tougher, but only because their dungeons are more of a challenge.

There is also an Asuran quest which throws wave upon wave of destroyers at you... that one was fun!!

But none of the quest aspects in GWEN are hard. It only gets hard during dungeons and thats rarely that tough!

GWEN isnt that high end....

Who wouldn't want to seek immediate retribution on the Charr? I couldn't wait to fling some arrows into those overgrown cats!
