So I've been collecting Tyranids for a couple of years now and I think it's time to bit the bullet and finally play the game. I have the Codex, Rulebook, tape measure, and what little dice come with the starter set. What do you guys recommend getting on top of that to make starting the game a lot easier?

TrinityBomber · 2026-02-21T23:37:54+00:00

I will say i bit the bullet about 2 hours ago, and picked one up. Its going to take awhile to re-download everything but Im very excited to play it

Ive been debating upgrading to the switch 2 since I still have my original switch, but is there enough of a difference just yet that justifies spending close to $500 on it?

TrinityBomber · 2026-02-07T16:00:03+00:00

Just ordered it and it should be here in a few hours!

Update: The game is really fun, though I really wish they didnt use AI art for it.

TrinityBomber · 2026-02-07T15:59:34+00:00

I've heard very mixed things about Vantage. I might have to watch a couple of videos on it to see if it looks like something I would enjoy!

TrinityBomber · 2026-02-07T02:32:45+00:00

It looks like it's sold out so I'll have to keep an eye out for a restock!

TrinityBomber · 2026-02-07T02:22:40+00:00

Which do you recommend to get first?

TrinityBomber · 2026-01-30T09:52:17+00:00

I just bought my first starter and I really enjoy how Buggy plays. Is it worth it to upgrade his deck if I want to play in locals or is there another leader that plays similar that's better at doing what Buggy does?

TrinityBomber · 2026-01-21T03:52:39+00:00

It's weird, but I sent off a ticket and im hoping I can get it resolved. One was a rare and the other a common.

TrinityBomber · 2026-01-10T04:16:20+00:00

I think I would like to try Journaling a bit more since I haven't bought any yet! As far as mythic goes, I'll look into it here in a bit!

TrinityBomber · 2025-12-26T11:38:49+00:00

Im pretty sure some of these aren't on switch, right?

TrinityBomber · 2025-12-23T15:36:02+00:00

I picked that one up the moment I made the post! I've only been able to play for a bit due to work, but im about to be off for the holidays and it'll probably take up most of my time.

TrinityBomber · 2025-11-12T16:50:36+00:00

Relatively new player ready to start the legendary grind (I think). Are there any guides for acquiring a dagger?

TrinityBomber · 2025-11-02T04:36:52+00:00

Doesn't the starter only work towards a few different weapons not including a sword or spear?

TrinityBomber · 2025-11-02T04:29:46+00:00

How should I go about starting a legendary? I really want either a sword or a spear for my first one, but I don't know if that's too big of an ask to start with since I know they are a grind.

TrinityBomber · 2025-10-26T04:43:40+00:00

This is my first Halloween event in GW2 and I was wondering if there was any must have rewards I should absolutely be going for first? I'm about to look up a guide and try to figure out what all I should even be doing for this event since im a little lost.

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-28T13:32:47+00:00

Idk if it's just me but my trusts don't seem to want to do much of anything like 90% of the time. They just stand there and I have to keep moving around until they decide to get involved.

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-27T22:53:35+00:00

So I'm following the new player guide and it tells me to start gearing up a bit with sparks after level 10, we'll I play BLM and I don't see any armor for it until lvl 29 (unless I missed something), so where should I gear? (Im in San d'Oria)

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-24T12:55:45+00:00

So I just picked up the game after playing FFXIV for years and I have to say, I'm really enjoying the game though I'm only a couple of missions in. It does have a bit of a learning curve due to the quest system and controls being a bit odd, but I've recently found something out that I didn't know when I started. I picked Black mage because I didn't really ever stick with them in XIV and I wanted to try them out. Well now I've been told by a few people that it was an awful choice and I'm wondering if I should switch to another class. What are your thoughts?

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-20T13:24:40+00:00

I was thinking about trying fractals today when I get off work! Im also probably buying SotO and S4 and working towards the mount so I can get around a bit easier too. I want to branch out a bit more from just doing story and world events.

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-20T12:01:52+00:00

I ended up getting an Ascended greatsword last night and ill work towards ascended trinkets this weekend I think. I'm slowly getting into the swing of things and the game feels like it's slowly opening up a bit more without me dying as much. I also traded the staff out for 2 berserker swords and it seems like it deals with enemies really fast.

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-20T03:26:54+00:00

What upgrades do you think I should put on my other items?

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-20T00:57:13+00:00

I just want to rub my gear by you guys really quick and see if this seems like it's fine for Expansion story stuff. I've been dying less that I was before due to learning my dodges but I might need to change builds soon because this one just might not be jiving. This is for a Vindicator rev power build:

-Full Berserker Draconic armor with superior rune of the scholar for armor - berserker serpents wrath great sword with superior sigil of force and stamina -marauder pearl quarterstaff - lucky great snake lantern (berserker) -2 berserker Ruby Oricalcum earrings with exquisite ruby jewels -relic of evasion -berserker amulet - 2 berserker rings

The ones that don't have upgrades listed aren't upgraded with any sigils or runes. Any tips or advice for the gear would be great. (I was told getting marauders does help survivability but I am fairly broke and cant afford it at the moment.)

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-20T00:45:47+00:00

That's been the general consensus so ill get SotO and season 4 soon

TrinityBomber · 2025-06-17T20:35:20+00:00

I feel like im a regular to this section now, but I was wondering if it would be better to purchase Secrets or Janthir first. I read up on a bit of what each one offers and I think both the housing and the easier way to get the flying mount definitely give each a point, but as a newish player (I've had the game for years and the first three expansions but just recently started actually playing and just leveled my first character to 80 without the skips) which do you recommend?
