Yeah, basically what he posted^^

Be warned though, downloading all 3.5+ GBs of data at the same time will take a while...

Welcome to the game BTW.

1. Right click on your Guild Wars shortcut and select 'Properties'.
2. In the 'Target Area' field you will see the location of your Guild Wars executable file: "..\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"
3. Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks, each separated by a space:

Code:
"..\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

in other words...
ur using a command to tell ur game to download everything all at once from launch
rather than downloading each little bit as it goes along

Sweeeet got it .. Hey one more off-topic question, can you target enemies without the left click?? so u can cast a spell before auto-attacking?

Pressing 'c' will select the nearest hostile target. Pressing space after that will perform the default action for that target (which for hostile targets is attack). You can not press space and just cast a spell or whatever before you/your party engage.

Also, you can activate "Double Click to Attack/Interact" options at Options MenĂº (F11 or Menu->Options), so you will be able to select desired target with one click, cast whatever spell you want, and Double Click or Space to attack it.

Another thing, hold in (left, not sure if right works, I always use left) ctrl key to get names of monsters, when I have minion masters and heroes, it sometimes gets hard to click on the monster/enemy you want to attack, the minions and heroes get in the way alot, holding in ctrl lets you click on the monsters name to attack incase your view gets blocked. It also helps when enemies are hiding behind something (or round corners). Usually always a Monk type enemy hiding round the side of a building or a hill etc. that you wouldn't otherwise see without ctrl

you can use the tab key to target enemy's without attacking, if you press tab again u can switch foes (shift+tab for previous foe)

Ctrl+shift+Space (or Double Click) to desired target

Yet another way to select without auto-attacking is shift-click on the target.

To get heroes/henchies to attack first, select your target, get close (so the target is just a little outside of aggro range) and use control-shift-space like Picuso said. This calls out "I'm targeting <whatever>!" and the heroes and henchies will attack if you're close enough. If you're not close enough to the target the heroes and henchies will just stand around and look at you.

Another way is to just target the enemy in whatever way you like and then strafe left or right (or do some other action) to cancel your own attack.
