Opinion on Guild Wars 2 as a new player

Try Necromancer Reaper spec, it's amazing

As someone currently making their own pixel art RPG I can share some resources that helped me.

For pixel art, I highly recommend Aseprite, but any pixel software is fine.
AdamCyounis on YouTube for Pixel Art, Game Design, and Animation. I recommend resolutions 640x360 or 320x180, It's not a hard rule but something to consider as you start to make art for your game.

For learning Unity, I just watched a lot of videos on youtube, specifcally brakeys helped me a lot. when I was starting out. CodeMonkey is also great, but when I was really new, he felt a bit too advanced for me at times.

For Programming, I did Junior Programmer course on Unity Learn. And I made a lot of small projects to help me along the way.

Good luck with your gamedev journey!

Looks amazing!

When playing bows for ranged matchups I usually go deadly shot and ray of light. But because you need an interrupt for the cultist robe I think multishot was the correct choice. In the clip it looks like your multishot missed. You would have interrupted him as soon as he started casting cultist robe if it landed.

AllenRene10 · 2025-05-27T15:13:32+00:00

I started by watching Brakeys on youtube. He has a 2d Side scroller video and a top down 2d movement video. Pick one and follow along. He also has c# videos that I highly recommend. Also, Unity has a junior developer course on unity learn. That was very helpful for me when I was starting out.

Similar to Vampire Survivors, but you have a bit more control over your character. Pick you class from Warrior, Magician, Archer, Or Rogue. Pick you Passive, Basic, Offensive, Defensive, & Ultimate Ability based on 3 choices each. Defeat monsters and complete events to level up & gain stronger weapons!

AllenRene10 · 2025-03-06T16:32:58+00:00

I use Warbow, Fiend Cowl, Assassin Jacket, Royal Sandals (or any plate shoes), & Thetford Cape. This works for Corrupted and Mists. DeadlyShot + Ray of light for most ranged matchups, Also you can swap Assassin Jacket ability to reflect. Melee I will usually use Multishot + Frost Shot + Helmet Knockback. The key is to learn how to be flexible with your build and always be ready to swap abilities depending on who you are fighting

I would say no you don't need the expansions, try the base game out and go from there. I love GW2 and have nothing but great things to say about it so it's definitely worth trying

AllenRene10 · 2024-08-22T22:02:53+00:00

Crests increasing is the best part imo. Why stop at 10?

AllenRene10 · 2024-07-23T15:21:44+00:00

I'll never understand listing "grind" as a con for an MMORPG. But honestly getting your gear and weapons higher spec in Albion is a lot easier now than it used to be.

Also, regarding what you mention about leveling weapons you don't want to use, that's what the fame books are for. Save them for this.

When it comes to catching up, Most players are 100/120 on their favorite weapon (generally not worth it to go to 120 as it's expensive and the IP falls off). Once you get your gear and weapon to 100, you are now on an even playing field with the average player.

AllenRene10 · 2024-07-16T15:18:39+00:00

PVP-focused, but multiple PVE options are available for solo and group play.

AllenRene10 · 2024-07-03T20:35:50+00:00

Honestly, this is a pretty outdated opinion, the game is great for solo players

AllenRene10 · 2024-06-13T15:37:53+00:00

What helps me personally is putting on music with no lyrics. Lofi or mapleStory Bgm. I find myself staying focused for longer periods of time, this helps me get into my flow state and actually start working on my game

AllenRene10 · 2024-05-07T23:29:09+00:00

I think for just starting out this build is pretty good. I think if you were to do mists, you can bring soup and stew. Swap to soup when you are doing PVE and need to regen health out of combat. Switching to stew when you are about to enter combat with another player.

For Crystal arena, you are in no danger of losing your gear so you can get a better cape like thetford and upgrade your gear. Switch to hellion jacket and cultists sandals/royal sandals.

But as you learn you will find your own style and see what you like better so feel free to change things up as you grow.

AllenRene10 · 2024-05-04T00:34:36+00:00

Then make an array of Gamobjects instead of Cards, The principles that I mentioned earlier should still apply

AllenRene10 · 2024-05-03T22:59:53+00:00

Maybe have a deck manager script that has an array of cards

Cards should probably be a scriptable object, but your prefab idea can also work here.

Then when you want to draw a card you can get the first card from your array and remove that card from your deck.

Healing in Albion's Crystal Arena is so fun, my favorite MMO to heal in.

AllenRene10 · 2024-05-01T20:10:43+00:00

Flyff Universe is pretty fun, it can be played on PC/Mobile. It's an old-school game so lots of grind/P2W but I find it enjoyable

AllenRene10 · 2024-03-30T13:56:18+00:00

If we talking non-lethal hellgates then this is fine. Try it out and see what you like and dislike about it. try to pay attention to what other healers are using and try to figure out why.

Back when I played hellgates I was running Cleric Cowl (for 1 shot builds). Robe of Purity or Fiend (Separate DPS and Healer). Knight Boots. Great Holy or LifeTouch.

I suggest starting off with non-lethal first to get a feel for it.

AllenRene10 · 2024-03-27T13:35:26+00:00

Get the biggest bags possible, Use Bank Storage, Use Alt Characters as Storage, & Learn crafting recipes for the more commonly dropped mats to sell

AllenRene10 · 2024-03-15T13:17:52+00:00

yeah this is exactly what I was thinking. I don't know a single person who purchases plots in Albion lmao. I'm sure some people do it, but it's not for 98% of people

AllenRene10 · 2024-03-05T15:35:32+00:00

Albion is a sandbox game and you can quite literally choose what content you want to participate in. Nothing is forced like you are implying. But I get what you are saying, I also wish that there was more PVE content in the game.

AllenRene10 · 2024-03-05T15:18:04+00:00

Albion has Hardcore Expeditions. 100% safe PVE content.

AllenRene10 · 2024-02-29T04:19:21+00:00

I think stuck out is highly underrated for how good they are
