lol I have like 89% of the map unlocked. Not looking forward to this next area.
Oh and three areas (don't remember the names but it's the lvl 70-75, 70-80 and 80, might be even more areas) don't have Those hearts. Also gooooood luucckk with them. Risen. Risen everywhere. You will have to fight your way to each place sometimes. Mostly cuz there's so many around that you need to do it so you don't die lol
Also leveling isn't that bad in this game. If you just want levels then do events. Events give damn good exp. In the area I'm at, you get 12k+ exp for events. Even bronze gives you 10kish.
You or your friend need to keep in touch with me because I'm tempted to jump ship and join a guild with my JP Classmates or jump to the server these guys are on and join them. I'm tired of all these guild invites from people I don't know.
I'm also tired of broken events. I need 2 more *** skill points in this zone but *** Lyssa is broken and one other event (for the SP south of Ilya) is broken.
Also sooooo many contested waypoints it's not even funny.
I made a guild last night, I can invite you and you can invite whomever you want :3
Won't be on til later. Try sending me an invite right now, I think I can get them when not logged in cuz sometimes I log in and see i was invited while logged off.

Ha this is a lot easier for thiefs because of stealth healing ability, 25% speed signet and Clock and Dagger ( another stealth).
Just run around and when stuff agros you just out run it or hit stealth and keep on running. The hard part is there is so much garbage and stone everywhere its hard to get around sometimes or the POI is on another level or something. I wonder why they decieded not to put hearts in those locations.
I still have no *** clue what I am doing, just that I am running around doing story quests... I haven't really seen anywhere to upgrade armor or weapons... I mean the NPCs are all over but ... nothing better at all.
Not really worth worrying about your armor until 70+ tbh. Just keep your weapons updated every 5~10 levels or so and use whatever armor you find on monsters.
I had 5-10 armor until 25ish, then that armor til 40ish then that armor til 60 then 72 and now 80 lol
Also I finally found out how to use the rune *** (for the 4/4 crap on that rare armor) I thought I had to put the runes on the same armor, then i realized it's a set not stack-able upgrades)
For exploring or doing story missions, yeah it's ***armor. You die quickly thanks to it.
For just getting to level 80, sure, it'll work out.
No.. maybe its job dependent, but as a thief I got to 80, explored over 50% of the map before I just decided to stop and ding 80 and im current on the final story mission. The only armor I have ever gotten that wasnt from a random drop was the body Dracondria mentioned to use as a skin. While I may have had some trouble on a few story missions it was never impossible. 90% of the time it was due to a bug of NPCs not following. But even soloing 7 Risen and the boss on one of the 70+ story missions (Trahearne glitched and wouldnt follow) was doable with shitty blue gear.
Edit: 7 Risen were all at once. Boss was seperate.
on my Elem, I upgrade armor every 5 levels, but I have it easy because I craft that armor since my cloth-craft is on par with my level, so I just make what I need, assuming I don't find something better out in the field. (cause Elem is squishy as ***).
Ranger, I dont really upgrade armor unless I find it, rarely die as well, unless I get careless while exploring, or go join a crazy event without backup. My Polar bear does a really damn good job at tanking mobs, can even hold down 3 at the same time without a problem as I just wail at them. heck, I can just afk and bear can just kill agro by himself lol.

Elementalist is one of the toughest classes when it comes to survivability if specced/geared properly.
And yeah prolly depends on class too cuz, you know, everyone has invisible.
The only story boss I had a problem with was (Dameshi, close your eyes if you're reading) a huge *** spider. Mostly cuz it was in a small area and he had 10000 minions. Was a bit hard. Most of the other bosses didn't do much to me.
btw how many story missions are left (about) after the mecha-ownage part?
I didnt get to do the mecha mission for some reason :/ I must have chosen a different route, but from 72 I think there was about a mission every level and then like 3-5 at level 80 including the final one which apparently is in a dungeon and requires a party. I tried to solo it as there as NPCs in there, but after wiping several times I figured I would just do it right with a group. Also.. if the giant spider you are refering too from the skrit path (actually I think it might have been Queen Destroyer) I had a very hard time on that one cause I was taking my time killing all the normal mobs so when the queen suddenly popped I had a field full of mini mobs and the boss and they raped all my NPCs. I had to use pistols and kite.
You said everyone has invisible. Do they? I started a Mesmer yesterday and kept thinking about how much I relied on stealth before and how I wouldnt have it now.
And yeah it was the skrit path. That *** queen. Urgh. She, herself, wasn't what was bad. It was the douchbag posse that were with her that agroed alongside her. I had to kill some of those first then kite cuz the queen came out of *** nowhere.

I don't know how many fans of Guild Wars we have here, but for me it will always have a special place in my heart. Guild Wars was a fast based CORPG (Co-operative RPG) with no subscription fees, and really fun PVP.
Well Guild Wars 2 is on the horizon, and BOY does that game look good.
Following the same pattern of having no subscription fees this game is going to take place 250 years later, on the content of Tyria.
The game is based around the same fast paced combat, with a few small changes ofc.
Here's a cool trailer to get you in the mood for it.
*Note: Everything is real time, Even though it looks like A cutscene, it's gameplay.
