Thanks. I meant to ask more should I grind vs. doing quests etc? How much time to allocate to crafting etc? Sorry I'm completely ignorant of the PvE system in the game.

I like it - I'm going double dagger instead of sword/dagger, and it's quite a bit better.
At least it was... while I was actually able to play... >.>

Didnt wow crash for 2 DAYS! when it released? surely Blizzard the all might god of gaming couldnt have messed something up - guess they didnt use BETA or Stress Tests at all. EVERY mmo will have issues at launch, thats just the way it it it is IMPOSSIBLE too have a 100% perfectly working game on release with no bugs, issues or anything else

Imo from the betas I was in, fastest way to level is to go event/heart to event/heart until you are at least the rec'd level for your class quest and then do that. Kill stuff along the way but main exp is completing quests/events/hearts, so always focus on that. Take the most intuitive path that will lead you to the most events. Also don't forget to get the waypoints smile.gif

Escatore is just mad, not like he has the slightest idea of the difficulties of an MMO launch (hint: the people showing up UNPAID to stress test to play a char that is not permanent is alot less then people showing up for headstart/finished game... a lot, and that is just the intuitive side of things)

Buck up!

The stress tests were to see how bad it would be at launch. I'm guessing that Arenanet had no intention of upgrading servers. Why spend the money when they already have ours?

Also, I think the "official" game release will be as bad if not worse than today's launch.

Reached level 11 before getting too tired (EST). Only got 3 hours of sleep but now can't log back in. mad.gif Was extremely smooth and bug free for the whole time I was playing. They also optimized it a ton as my laptop played it even better than that last stress test.

Just be patient guys.
