Whirly: good to go

Day 2 of our Guild Wars adventure. We kind of hit the ‘what should we do now’ wall. We did a few quests, but they weren’t very exciting. Eventually, we just went for a walk which worked out ok.

Nothing mobs and you’re-dead mobs can be right next to each other. We ran into you’re-dead mobs a few too many times which caused our stats to go to hell. I’m not sure exactly what that does, but mobs we could previously whip started whipping us back. We finally dinged level 5, the hard, slow, painful way.

We headed to town to choose our secondary professions; an honor reserved for level 5s. We are talking two don’t know anything guys here. We had absolutely no idea what to choose. Mark decided on Mesmer as his second profession. I poked around on the net till I found a page saying Monk was the way to go for a Warrior so I chose that. It’s just the dumbest thing. The first page I ran into could have said anything. Anything. At least somebody took the time to write it down I guess. I was going to take a crap shoot anyway. Choosing from some random comment on a web page is the same as a random choice.

I wish the quests showed some kind of level range so we’d know which to do next, which to wait, dump. We play again tomorrow. I hope we can get a little better structure in our progress. Perhaps I’m asking for too much. We are rank newbies after all. We’ve got to expect to suffer.

I’m off to play EQ2.
