So, what do you people do ingame while waiting for factions ? Me, I´ve been recently playing around with the pre-order items for no particular reason I like to go to low leveled areas to play around with the weak mobs there, with the daggers doing almost no damage because of the lack of Dagger Mastery, it feels almost like being back to the good old times right after pre-searing when the characters were weak and the devourers were the biggest problem in the universe





Except of course the enemies don´t do any damage to me either

I've been working on getting my XP on my characters (like you, for no apparent reason). My Warrior now has 1,100,000+ xp, my Monk- 1,400,000+, and my Mesmer(the one I'm working on atm) has 750,000+. I still have my Elementalist, Ranger and Necro to go, which are at about 300-400k each. I may run out of time before Factions, so likely I'll stop on my Mesmer. To get XP, I farm Trolls using Hunter's scrolls (which nets about 6-7,000xp per run). And if/when we have favor, I do quests in Underworld or Fissure. Although high XP is nothing more than bragging rights, it keeps me playing the game and keeps it fun.

I also like helping friends and guildies work on their in-game projects, and keeping up with our guild's website. It isn't that hard to find something to do if you look around in the game.

We've been tying up loose ends:

Titan and SF quests, and missing missions/bonuses. (my quest log is empty, strange feeling)
Collecting materials again for Chapter 2 (gonna need several armor sets right off the bat)

I have made progress on completely de-fogging the map.

I need to work on getting r3 also....

I need to work on getting r3 also.... Final Assault sometime this week? I still need Titan Source, High Priest Alkar, and Final Assault, and then I'll have completed the whole game. Except for maybe bonuses on almost every mission.

Working on materials now, since you mentioned it last night. Been browsing auctions getting nice weapons for cheap so that I'm going in my best into Cantha.

We should do more FoW/UW, I need more skill points for Vilaptca to start buying up skills that he wants as soon as he enters Cantha.

I decided to make my old ingame main character Factions based. Lately though I have been farming Pre with different versions of him. Yep once I get Factions Kill Mur is going to be a R/Me. I also plan redoing my Ele under Factions. I have the Stone Staff that I will use for her.

Characters I have planned for Factions already are: R/Me, E/R and Rit/Mo.

I guess another thing to do while waiting for Factions is to get a new mouse. My poor right mouse button is being a bitch. It is difficult at times to push it down and have it respond at all. So not very good in game since that is my camera button. I may endup playing Factions with this mouse anyways. Gah! Better buy a new one fast.

*cuddles his Logitech Mx310*There there... We have been through it all. Played some wonderful games together too. Er... Whatcha staring at folks? Nothing to see here so move along...

Recently discovered Grawl bombing, which is fun. I played around with daggers as well, but i used a Illusionary weapon mesmer in pvp with tigers fury. Much dmg is done. The plus nrg bonus on the Rt staff comes in useful occasionally as well. Once the ladder is back to normal much time will be spent trying to get the guild under rank 50.

Oh yes, I've also been working on a collection of Mursaat Tokens and Feathered Avicara Scalps. No apparent reasons, other than something to do. But who knows, Mursaat Tokens could have a use in the future...such as the Jade Arcade! Also, having a stack of 250 Avicara Scalps would be a symbol of my deep hatred for the Evil Pidegons.

I'm farming and saving up money for Ch2.
I had an idea to make all my mods perfect but that went outside the window fast enough especially after the FPE and seeing all the new weapons.
No point of making my Fellblade perfect furious and +30 health (its 9% and +28) when an Oni sword is about 3 weeks away

Other than that, I started a new warrior last night on my 2nd account and she's gonna be w/e to unlock warrior and ele skills.

Getting myself mentally ready for my Ele's upcoming death on the 28th... I plan on spending the last 16 days with her and my friends. Had some good memories with her too. In my old Guild we would get our eles together and synch dance in Ascalon City. Oh the memories.

Deaths: 400+
Age: 177 Hours and 16 Minutes over the past 56 Days and still counting.

She will die by being brutally mauled and assaulted by wharthogs too.

As so many other are doing... I waste my time farming.

What I should be doing is finding a group to get my Mesmer through Thunderhead Keep sometime soon. Sometimes I've gotten too busy with UW to realize that, hey, I haven't actually finished the story with this guy yet! But then again, sitting in THK for hours on end looking for a PUG that actually wants a Mesmer is... Well, very boring indeed. Guildies haven't been on much the past few days (relatively small guild, we're very family-ish but yeah, some of us do have jobs and lives), otherwise I would have enlisted them to help me...

Complain about the Monk boss, yet leave the Mesmer behind... People are silly.

As for me, i'm doing everything from going to SF to try and get new greens, to completing the game with my mesmer. Also saving up on golds, items, and materials when chapter 2 is released.
