Serious Internet connection Ping problems.
Over the last 3 or 4 days my system has been having serious internet ping problems. Have GW been doing things to drastically slow internet connections and ping

My Characters are seriously struggling to go where I ask them without going backwards and forwards and sideways, then slowing down, running on the spot etc

I cant go into a mission as my characters are going all over the place Any Help please? --172.142.72.158 22:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think you could be getting the lag from any of ANet's servers; not anything nearly that bad, at least.
 * There's a few things you can do on your own system to try to speed it up. Off the top of my head, I would suggest going to "Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup", and use that to clean out temporary internet files. That can sometimes cause lag if there's too many files clogging up your system.
 * What sort of internet connection do you have? Dial-up, DSL, Cable... wired or wireless? Perhaps someone here has a suggestion... --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  02:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

guild battles?
can u do guild batles if u just have nightfall? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Sungsu (talk).


 * Yes, GvG doesn't have any restrictions on campaigns or anything. So long as you're in a guild, and meet the requirements to start a battle (you'll need a Guild Hall for one, and at least four guild members to start a battle), then there's no other important things you need. Check the article I just linked, it should answer any questions you've got on the subject.
 * On an unrelated note, you can sign your comments by typing four tildes ( ~ ). That way people know who's posting what. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  04:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Repairing Data Archive?
Instead of normal downloading of updates, loading data and starting the client, the program started repairing the data archive (My Translation, original (german): Datenarchiv) a minute ago....this happened once befor, a few weeks ago.

well, it says in the quest page that u can get a bug where mhenlo does not follow u so the afflicted wont come, it then says to try to make sure that mhenlo doesnt get stuck. but i can't get him out from behind the guard, what should i do? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:81.157.200.218 (talk).
 * If he does get stuck like that and you can't seem to make him move (talk to him, run away, maybe try to "push" him), then just restart the quest (go back to town and head out again). I've never had the bug happen to me, so it's not a very common bug; I doubt you'll have the same issue twice in a row. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  00:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Charrslayer Sword Bug
according to the wiki the charrslayer sword you can have crafted at the eye is bugged. my question is: is it still bugged and if so what precisely is wrong with it!?


 * I assume it's still bugged; nobody's removed the notice from the article, and none of the updates have mentioned it being fixed.
 * From what's written on the article, the weapon does minimum damage against non-Charr foes, even if you meet the requirements. Still works just fine against Charr though.
 * When in doubt about stuff like that, check the bug notice in the article, it should explain a bit. And check the article's talk page as well, you can generally find discussion relating to the bug.

multiple players
How Can u play with more than 2 players other than being in a town?--68.7.181.26 00:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If you add people to your party in a town, then they'll still be in your party when you leave the town and head out into an explorable area. Party size is generally limited to 4-to-8 players, so you should have no trouble getting more then two players in your party. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  13:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

GETTING banned
Do you directly ban a player if a "modertaor"(player) claims you've done something wrong? because ive had threats of that, like one of my borthers got mad at me one day and out of no where he starts yelling i stole his money.Then a "moderator" came up to me and said im sending a report to anet to get you banned for stealing his money.What i want to know is do you just directly ban someone like that, with jsut the trust of a moderator seeing how they might not jsut liek a player and just do that to get them away for good. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:99.142.53.71 (talk).

Boreas Seabed is not accessable
For some reason, this place can't be reached for me. It always stops at the load screen. There was one instance in which I got in, but had massive lag that made it completely unplayable. I was hit with an 007 error once during the loading screen, then 058 error. I'm sure my connection and firewall are not the problem. I've been trying for about 15 min, and I'm wondering if this isn't my end. Can anyone else confirm, or if it's me, tell me how to fix it? -- People of Antioch talk  03:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Nope, but I have a horribly vague memory of something similar popping up before. Just try again now (as it's been almost 9 hours). Most likely was a routing issue from your ISP to Boreas Seabed's server, since your connection worked fine and Boreas Seabed did too. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 11:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You can call out your build in towns and outposts by holding the control key and clicking the skill bar, but it doesn't work inside combat areas. -- Gordon Ecker 06:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you call it before you go out into a combat area, you can scroll up, look at the build and click "send to chat", and it will send the build to people in the combat place.

PvP Battle Question
Can you choose who to play against in PvP battles? Are your opponents always randomly chosen?--128.226.221.85 04:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In short, no - you can't really choose your opponents. Most PvP in Guild Wars has an aspect of random to it.  For GvG you can do a planned scrimmage but only for those in the same guild (and their guests) or alliance. A scrimmage can be 1 on 1 if you like.  As to randomly chosen, no not always - the final stages of tournaments have planned matches for the teams involved.  GvG and Hero ladder matches attempts matches of opponents based on the ladder rank.  Heroes Ascent is random-ish but in later maps you get placed against the teams at the same stage as you.  So you don't have control over who you play against but there is method to the selection of the team. --Aspectacle 04:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Using artifacts and energy items.
When I get an item such as a Healing artifact and try to put it in the off hand of a two handed weapon there is a red circle and bar across it. What does this mean? Does it mean the artifact is non-operational? I am a new player.98.199.122.161 17:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Aye it is not operational. You can store an artifact there whilst using a two handed weapon, but as a staff is two handed, you are not actually wielding the artifact and do not get the effects of it. To utilise it correctly you need to use a one handed weapon in your right hand, like a wand/sword/axe etc. -- Lemming [[Image:User Lemming64 sigicon.png]] 17:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

my character is a necro trying to get his armor in pre-searing ascalon and the skull trader is not in the catacombs where he is suppose to be. it shows the icon in the radar but he isnt there is there anyway to fix this???

Elite Tomes
I'm trying to obtain an elite assassin tome. As i understand, i need to kill an assassin boss in hard mode. Can someone please confirm; Will any assassin boss do? Do i need to kill with a char of primary or secondary assassin prof? How random is the drop of elite tomes?

Thanking you kindly SaltyOldSeaDog 11:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Any primary Assassin boss can drop the tome in hard mode, your own profession doesn't matter.
 * I don't know the drop rate, but it's fairly slim. I've farmed other tomes before, with varying degrees of luck... farming an elite Elementalist tome took somewhere around ten tries, farming a Mesmer tome took longer then that (actually, it never dropped and I got one from a chest instead). Best bet is simply to find a boss, farm him (solo) for a few times, and see if you get lucky. (chances are you'll get his green drop in the process, or something of the sort.) --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Drunkard title
I know that you need to drink 3 lvl 1 drink to start getting credit toward the drunkard title, my question is, do you drink all 3 drinks in that one min, or do you drink 1 after each 1 min ended for a total of 3 min for the 3 drinks? I know that it cap is lvl 5 intoxication, so does that mean I have to stop after drinking 5 drinks or does it means that don't go beyond 5 drinks, so drink 5 drinks, let the 1 min end and drink another lvl 1 to stay in between lvl 3 - lvl 5 intoxication? thanks132.239.90.242 20:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Drunk levels decay at a rate of 1 per minute, so if you only drank a lvl 1 every minute, you would stay at level one. You would need to drink all 3 at once, which would give you 1 minute of drunk at level 3. Then you could keep drinking 1 per minute to maintain your drunk level. --Valshia 21:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Finished one of the secondary-class test in the desert or switched to a different secondary than the one you had when leaving Pre-Searing.
 * Started and finished "The Hero's Journey" (as in, no longer in your quest long)-

kilroy stoneskin
A quick question.... Anyone out there having this issue with the Irontoe dungeon in hardmode:

Kilroy always runs out in front and aggros all of the bad guys and dies, which leaves me without his shout to assist in the battle. The one spot before the room where there is like 20 of them in a semi circle is where he always aggros the ten or so baddies. I've tried to run ahead and pull 1 or 2 at a time, but he just blazes on by and commits suicide :P I end up getting ko'd while trying to clear out his body and its getting annoying.72.24.236.77 22:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Repairing/ new builds on Guild Wars
I have noticed that an increasing amount of repairing and new builds keep coming. Almost everytime I log in to play, there is either a repair or when I start to play, the continual annoucement asking me to log off because of a new build seems to be more often.

Ursan bleedthrough
Does Ursan blessing revert everyone back to a common armor level before adding the armor buff, or is there a definite advantage to using a warrior or paragon to achieve higher armor levels?

Also... if using a mesmer and having the insignias that give armor buffs per signet, will those insignias still give the armor bonus AFTER switching to bear form?

 * It's +20 armor, so it should stack with other skills up to +25 and stack with everything else with no limit. -- Gordon Ecker 09:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Armor stays as it is when you use Ursan if I remember correctly, so Warriors do have higher armor then other classes while in Ursan Blessing (if that's what you're asking).
 * The Mesmer insignia will still work, but it will count your current skillbar (the Ursan one), not your "old" skillbar. So it shouldn't give any extra armor bonuses overall. --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Is presearing stand-aloan?
Is presearing stand-aloan or does Factions, Nighfall, Eye of the North or Bonus Mission Pack expand the presaring game? --166.128.11.219 17:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In the sense of being just one big block, yes, it's stand alone, so having the other expansions will not change the content of pre-searing. But you can still leave pre-searing (can't return, though) and play the rest of the Prophecies campaign (from which Pre-Searing is a part of).--Fighterdoken 18:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

White Screen
Ok, I've been have some trouble with the game since about the end of February. I'll be playing and the screen either goes half white or entirely white. The only way for it to go back to normal is if i restart my computer and enter the game. It's really been a pain in the but when I'm halfway through a mission and I can't see what I'm doing.
 * Turn down the level of graphics; it's probably your computer freezing because the video card isn't good enough to display some parts of GW.  Calor  [[Image:User_Calor_Sig.png|19px|Talk]] 19:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Presearing most powerful sword
What is the name of the most powerful / damaging sword that can be acquired in presearing.

I want to thank all of you, that has helped us on this site. I have lerned a lot from this site. --166.128.16.162 22:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The most powerful that exists there would be the Glacial Blade (bonus weapon only attainable if you have the EoTN pre-release bonus) or glitched gold/green weapons if there still exist some (but they would cost you an arm, and eye, and your first born). I think the highest (non-glitched) sword that you can get your hands into would be any purple that does around 10-16 in damage (specially with a +18% to charr mod). You can find more information about max stats for weapons and equipment on the Pre-Searing community webpage.--Fighterdoken 22:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Crystal Desert/Droknars Forge
Hey. After doing the mission The Dragons Lair, and going to Droknars Forge, I quit playing on Proph and moved to factions. After beating factions I want to go back and do the Proph missions. I figured I had to talk to Glint, But all she says is "Your Ascension is not the end, but rather a new beginning. Those who have hellped you get this far are now in great peril. Go to them. Put right what has gone so terribly wrong. I will be here when you return. When you have fulfilled your destiny." So does anyone know where I'm supposed to go now? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:63.175.4.119 (talk).
 * Talk with Captain Hugo Bronzebeard for acquiring the quest Seeking the Seer. After that, is just a small travel to the next mission.--Fighterdoken 17:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

armour
what wuold be the best warrior armour in the game? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.183.3.19 (talk).
 * Any armor with 80 armor rating. The only real thing differing the armors in the latter parts of the game are appearances. See Warrior armor for the various armors and their appearances. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 04:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

well i mean since primeval armour is 75k and theres no other 75k armours for warrior, does that mean its the best for a warrior? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.183.3.19 (talk).
 * There's other armor sets with the same crafting cost, and Vabbian armor and Obsidian armor are significantly more expensive if you include the material cost. -- Gordon Ecker 04:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The only difference between max armors is appearance. That's it.  If you think it looks the best and you're willing to pay that much, it's the best for you. --71.229.204.25 04:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

so no 80 armour is better than other 80 aumor
 * um... if "better" means more protection, yes (as in, 'yes, no 80 armor is better than another 80 armor). why would one armor with a rating of 80 be better than a different armor with the same rating? expensive armor is only there as a gold sink, i.e. to make rich people spend their money on stuff that doesn't give them an advantage to other players. - <tt>Y0_ ich_halt </tt> [[Image:User Y0_ich_halt sig.jpg|18px|Have a look at my page]] 21:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
