PvP characters

Aha I've sussed it.

That last step - where you choose where to go - is NOT final.

Just press M to get the world map, and then you can chosoe either

a) Competition Arenas (Random)
b) Team Arenas (pick a 4 person team and play other random teams)
c) Tomb of the Primeval Kings (pick an 8 person team and play other random teams to try to get to Hall of Heroes)
d) Guild Hall (where the officers can set up an 8v8 Guild Battle)

(c) is for the elite - so obviously we got trashed yesterday

(b) Is the place for us right now I think.

Obviously we are all at a disadvantage at this since PvP builds/tactics are different from PvE builds/tactics. Experience and reading the PvP boards will help.

Those who are jumping in with PvP characters without any prior PvE experience of their chosen classes are at even more of a disadvantage, but will probably learn quicker from experience/reading PvP forums because you have no pre-conceptions.

(BTW I won't be on until at least 8:30 tonight - leaving about 10-10:30 again.)

See you later.

RIP Monkey Dust who I deleted to make my PvP character. Sniff.

Thats why I got two accounts, as I liked playing my warrior, but wanted to try out pvp toons, so I have marked her down for deletion.

Currently have her clone on the second account, and she's just ascended :)

Hey we won the first game !!!

I did find it kind of hard keeping up with everthing that was going on, but probably helped I was healer and focused mainly on health bars....

We have to find out what killed everyone so fast though. I'm guessing it was some sort of hex.

Dur I should have realised some of the points you found out as I remembered being able to take my PvP character to the guildhall but forgot all about it last night :pop: Hopefully we can try a few of the easier PvP battles when I can get PC of the youngest one night soon

I have got PvP called Bishop Lightfoot . Have won afew random battles. Are faction rating is about 947?. But it is very tricky to get very far. Have managed to win about 5 times in row in the random teams.

The casters (monks) may well have had Backfire (mesmer) cast on them so they killed themselves as they healed others. And then the rest fell afterwards.

The hexes cast on you (and conditions e.g. bleeding) are shown as a row of icons (hold mouse over to get a description) on the screen. Obviously its important to keep an eye on those. Far more so in PvP. And of course good teams will be using combos by various team members at the same time.

It's something us PvE-ers are used to doing, to a degree, but not as much as is really required in PvP.

I can't guarantee to be on tonight- in fact its unlikely. Like last night. Two interviews in two days. A bit tiring.
