18. Do you have a favourite character from the lore?

I’m still not hugely familiar with the lore; having not read the books or seen the lore imparted through raids; nor having played gw1. But from the lore I do know I’d say probably Caithe if she’s too new to be considered lore; then Ventari.

37. What are the top three tips you would give someone just starting to play?

1) Ask questions. I found it had a pretty steep learning curve as it didn’t really explain much; so ask questions. Either to friends or on a forum or possibly in map chat as a last resort.

2) Level characters the hard way the first time at a minimum. Don’t use that level 80 boost you may have. You need that levelling time because one thing it does do nicely is build up mechanics nicely so that you aren’t immediately confronted with 500 options for how to do specialisations, skill selection etc.

3) Don’t believe the reddit posts that anyone can get into raids super easy like. I tried. I have not got the time nor skill to do raids for the forseeable future. For some people they can do it quickly, but for others you will struggle to get the DPS numbers.

21. Favourite weapon skin?

Nevermore. I love ravens ok.

Bifrost would be a close second. Because norse mythology., And rainbows.

17. Whats your best guild wars experience?

Doing anything with friends; but preferably content we haven’t done before. Alas we rarely have the numbers for a full party for fractals or dungeon paths. (still need those arah explorables for the lore!); and we definitely don’t have the numbers to start raiding as a guild

4. Whats your favourite race?

Sylvari! So much love for Sylvari!

I really love their character designs, they’re so unique among the fantasy genre and look amazing. I also really like their culture and morals.

15. Have you ever been really angry at the game? why?

There’s been times where i’ve been frustrated at things but it’s hard to remember any specific examples - I think usually when encountering a bug after a lot of effort? Some of the more complicated jumping puzzles can also be fun and rage inducing simultaneously.

17. Whats your best guild wars experience?

I think some of the first times doing dungeons/fractals with friends. It felt like a fun, cooperative group activity but with an element of challenge and strategy - not just sitting and executing your attacks, but actually having to strategize.

19. Is there a class you like the idea of but the gameplay doesn’t match up for you?

I’ll admit, i’m pretty poor at playing classes other than my main (Engineer). I find other classes have a lot to keep track of which can make them tricky to play. If there’s one particular class in particular though… possibly Thief? I love playing stealthy characters in other games, but GW2′s stealth mechanics are somewhat… weak? I think that’s understandable because of the nature of the game though.
