How to Play Games on a Linux System

As I've never used a Linux box, I have no idea how accurate this information is, but it is here in the hopes it'll help someone.

Flame Temple Tombs (Guild Wars 2)

An unwary player who wanders into this dungeon can get stuck inside the round room at the beginning with no way out.  After 24 hours you can probably teleport out after the game decides you are no longer in combat.

Here is help with the Flame Temple Tombs puzzles.  First, a summary of what's going on.

(Here's a longer version from the GW2 wiki for those who like details.)

Here is a video that outlines the solutions to the puzzles.

Guild Wars 2 Map Zones by Level

This site lists map regions and dungeons by level.
http://www.guildwars2hub.com/guides/exploration/cities-explorable-zones-and-dungeons

Here is an interactive map that shows levels.  It is incomplete but is the best I've found so far.

This goes directly to the map.

Dungeons in Guild Wars 2

There are nine dungeons currently in GW2 (and some that are available during various holiday events only).  You have to be a certain minimal level to enter each.  Each dungeon has a story mode and an explorable mode which you can do after completing the story mode and advancing you level.  It looks like you run dungeons in groups.  Here's more information but once you hit level 25, the game will send you a letter explaining how you will be notified about dungeons that are available to you.

This guide to dungeons in Guild Wars 2 has a list of eight of the nine (but the guides are finished for only half of them).  There's a map of their locations, but it isn't too clear.

The same website also has a guide to farming dungeons for tokens, which you trade to the dungeon's vendors.
