Canada...... Eh!

Yes and if your name was 13 characters long (including the space) it would say that you were lvl 1 too. So long as you were lvl 10 - 19 that is. That guy was yanking your chain. The question you have to ask yourself is this, how could he have been lvl one and gotten enough done to finish the "second profession" quest that you need to finish before you get to post-sear? The answer is that he can't. Good gag though on his part.

In my opinion droknar forge enterence should be blocked if the character is not asceneded and this will stop people running down south from beacon perch, becuase I really hate those people who just get to the forge for the armour and it really does p*** me off when i see any non-lvl 20 people there, who skips two thirds of the game.

The last update from arena.net, fixed a minor detail.
Characters wanting to go down in the Fissure or In the
Underworld, now have to be ascended. So they might
have the droknar's armor... but they still have to do
all the missions to get in the fissure or UW.

i dont thinks they would want to skip the game after getting the armor. the whole purpose was to make the game alittle bit easier and have the edge playing with other character in low level arenas.

I simply don't understand why ArenaNET doesn't block Beacon's Perch -> Droknar's Forge shortcut. It serves no one but n00bs. Why it exists in first place? Tell me some reasons so I might understand.

it should be blocked. there is no reason for that pass other
then to travel from perch to droknar in 3 hours. I would say
to get loot. but there is lots of other places in the shiverpeaks that
is good for that.Ei: north of citadel.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because people like myself who has finished the missions more than 1 time don't want to do all the missions ALL OVER AGAIN?

Never thought about that, did you?

If people go there, fine, let them go there. It doesn't in any way hurt my gaming experience to see a level 5 at the forge... It's surprising, but it's not like we have to group with them.

Well, there is six main professions in this game. The only reason why you start a new game is to change main profession. I can't think any other reasons because it doesn't make sense. When you change your main profession, don't you want to experience the whole game in new way because you have different weapons, armors and special skill line? If it is so pain in the ass to start a game with new main profession then maybe this game is not for you.

They should at least block the shortcut from players who haven't completed the game although I would block it from everyone plus players who are in droknars, should not be able to enter to low level arenas anymore. Don't want to see n00bs in there.

Playing the game easier fair enough but come on most player play through the game been to the desert completed those mission and ascended to have access to the top rated armour.
I've seen lvl 13 in ice cave of sorrow when I was grouping up for the mission, and that really p*** me off and do you think they'll play through all the mission before the forge? The answer for that to me is unlikely. But I still strongly suggest that forge should be blocked off completely to stop any non-ascend character reaching the place for the armour.

The devs put in charge, charge allows you to have balanced stance and a sprint skill active at the same time. But you need to get to Hells Precipice to get it.

I HATE people with the "holier than thou" attitude, get off your high horse. Just cause someone didn't do something your way doesnt mean its wrong. Let go of your ego for 5 minutes and stop complaining.

I've had a level 2 in borliss pass and it made me laugh what i got called. Map cheater, cheater, bot user e.t.c. I find it highly amusing that some people are so insecure they have to degrade(or try to) other people to make themselves look good. Thankfully its only a handful of people that bitch and complain about low levels.

Not only is it possible to have a lvl 1 at that mission, it's nothing special nor is anything wrong with it. Plenty of lvl 1's have been to Droks Forge which is much further.


Low level armor is more challenging and possibly more rewarding.

I dont really know how much time they take to run there,
but it did take me and a group, 3 hours to go from Camp Rankor
to Perch. We took the time to kill everything because we did
this mainly for loot and some elite skills found in Snake Dance

You can finish the second profession quest without leveling. Its entirely possible to leave pre-Searing as a level 1.

Yes, I've never notice before, but now that I took a closer
look I got to say that it could be photoshop.

None the less though, I've also seen low lvl characters in places like
that and I believe that it should stop as well. It almost seems that
people dont play the game to have fun, but to be #1 in all the ladders
with a "one against the world" attitude.

Yes, a Role Playing Game. A game where we choose a role and play it out. I've seen level 2 collectors in the Maguuma Jungle... I mean crap, where are these noobs coming from?

I don't see how it dmgs anyone's experience to see low levels in Droknar's Forge... Myself, I'd love to have the chance to get a newly post-sear character ran to the Forge. I would never pay for it though, and I would never ask a guildie for that kind of time-gift. But after running there I could do the missions as I choose without ever worrying about armor or weapons...

what's the concern here? You go to university at 19 years old, will it seriously piss you off to see someone there who is 16? What about someone who is 45? Who cares?

1) If you rescale the window the name/level isn't truncated. I've still seen a couple of lvl 1's at Beacons and several lvl 2 at Augury Rock and Elona. I don't know if this particular guy was lvl 1 or not, but you CAN find some.
2) It is borderline possible to get a lvl 1-2 char to Draknor etc, provided you plan for it, take care not to capture any skills, do any quests, any missions, or, basically, kill any monsters at all.
What I wonder is WHY would one do this? To farm faction in Ascalon arena as long as humanly possible?

DrSLUGfly: my concern is that it's a hack. I hate hacks, I've seen one too many good games ruined by them. If it's not a hack or exploit, then I've no problem with it; I don't care how people screw up their own gaming experience.

It doesn't screw your game experience when you need to capture skills for your 2nd or 3rd character to be more versatile in pvp. Frankly, i don't NEED to run the jungle, nor do you, nor does anyone. The first time i played through the game i went from bergen, to ToA, to fishermans' to Sanctum cay and i DIDNT KNOW I HAD MISSED ANYTHING.

Oh well, my bad, but it didn't mess anything up for me, i just got a bit of foreshadowing in the plotline, and i had better weaponry and armor for the jungle. I had been level 20 ever since i had hit ToA so it wasn't like i was missing experience or anything.

Honestly, if you want to run all the missions and all the towns again, that's your call, but as for me, i'd rather not spend 3 days fighting charr: i'll skip them and get my character to the ring of fire asap so that i can get the elites i need for my pvp builds.

Try henching from Iron Mines at lvl 12 with non infused henches through ice floe to marhans grotto :P

Best challenge ever, great fun (albeit was wearing my braindown after an hour or so of repetitive suicide killing of mursaat) and the best reward to grab the 15k armour from there too

I thought you can only access to ice floe and marhan's grotto only via thunderhead keep? Can it be access from another explorable? If it is I need an updated map.

I'll tell you how these low level buttplugs can ruin a fair gamer's gameplay...

When you enter Shiverpeak Arena's lvl 15 battleground. Then you fight a monk who claims HE HAS UBER SKILLZ when he uses Spell Breaker {E} and several other Droknar's Forge skills.

He may think he's all that BUT YOU CAN'T BEAT ANYONE with such skills playing the game fairly.

I think it's fine and all to run to Droknar's but you mf'ers should REALLY stop ruining the people who try to play and win through real skill and not...

"Run me to Droknar's plz!!! I'm too lazy and stupid to play normally!!!"

It's fine if you're lazy and what not, BUT DON'T bring your uber 1337ness to the arena, show off how "cool" and invincible you are, and then rub it in people's faces as having no skill when they're using 'fair game' skills... [you know, skills you can ONLY get by playing fairly?]

Again, I have nothing against runners there, but to say that they don't ruin other people's games is far fetched.

And DON'T anyone DARE tell me to not play in the random arena... I can tell you to DON'T PLAY THIS GAME. I like pvp arena combat. I like it no matter what the normal situation. But being uber 1337 droknar's runner doesn't make you the better player... If anything, it just shows one's desperation to win...

I agree
They just dont understand what a ROLE PLAYING GAME is. or the fact that it is just a game. Some people just play to be #1 in all the ladders in all the games. they dont really care about the game itself. Look at D2. that game practicly became unplayable. Some other people just play to sell stuff on ebay. which pisses me off even more. When I buy a game like GW or any other RPG, its because I enjoy fantasy and I enjoy leaving the real world for a fantasy world for a bit. ( in other words: to Role-Play in a Role-playing Game).

Exactly, but a lot of people think that there is only one way to play a game and anything else is just wrong. Kind of ironic...

I agree completely with this.

But when doing the actual storyline(Missions, Quests), and I'm forming groups after Ascension, and I kick someone out of my group that's below level 20, do NOT whisper me and ask me why you're kicked. I don't care how good you are, or how many times you've beaten the game. If you're not ascended, you're not getting into my group. It's simple.
