I have heart of thorns.) So I switched world with my free switch and it worked! Thank you to all that helped! You need to change your server from the character select screen. If you have an expansion the first server change is free. Thanks, I'll try it with him when he's back. Don't know his world atm. CrimsonNeon.6712. You will have to wait for the relink on Friday, desolation has been full, despite the fact a bunch of guilds left during the previous link. Piken opened up at least twice, during this linking cycle. In the end you may have to find another link or host server, if you want to play on the same wvw server. After level 30, racial story differences end, and you and your friend can begin receiving credit for completing missions together, if you make the same choices at the end of the previous missions . Level 40 & 60 missions are determined by choice of Order. Level 50 which NPC race chosen to aid/study/investigate. Charr are the second tallest race. They are also the widest race and very visible. Norns are the tallest race. They will easily stand out against a clear background. Humans and Sylvari are the same height, but larger than Asura. In terms of visibility, Asura is the best choice. Racial Skills. So, physically, Asura is the best race. I had the same trouble, and wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out only to realize that it was down for the beta weekends. Damnit! I remember there being a command (that didn't work) during BW1 in the world selection screen to "guest" next to "transfer". Here is a bit more info on playing with other players that have chosen a different race: The first question we get quite frequently here is "what server/world should I use". The world, currently, is only important for the PvP mode World vs World in which 3 Worlds compete over 4 Maps over Objectives like Camps, Towers and Keeps with Siege Engines. There's the Ele Piano meme but Catalyst is far less crazy than other eles from what I'm hearing from friends It's not. Catalyst is harder to manage than weaver is, and weaver is often too much. Hell, weaver in just casual play you can pretty much camp one or two elements and do fine. If you get invested in an active guild or WvW server community or talkative raid/fractal static, that's some easy friendship finding grounds. You gather to do a thing regularly and have a chance to get to know people over time, so from there it's just a matter of how well you actually click with the people in 'em. Everyone can meet immediately from anywhere by hitting P and going into the PvP Lobby (must finish basic tutorial first, of course). From there you can go to Lion's Arch through a portal straight ahead and a little to your left. Lion's Arch is the central port city in the middle of Tyria, where all races and players meet to conduct business. Other idea: leave the map, and then return. If the thing is working correctly it should put you into the same map if there is room. Yep! That second thing worked! =D Thanks. Worlds don't matter for anything but WvW, and F2Players can't do that until level 60 anyways. They can play with other players regardless. tftfFNc.
