Mesmer
Elementalist
Factions campaign professions
These professions are only available to players who own Factions.1 Role-playing characters may only choose these professions as their primary one if they are created in Cantha, though a character from any continent will also have access to these professions as secondary once they have met the qualifications to change their secondary profession. PvP characters may choose these professions as primary or secondary as long as Factions is attached to the account.
Assassin
Ritualist
Nightfall campaign professions
These professions are only available to players who own Nightfall.1 Role-playing characters may only choose these professions as their primary one if they are created in Elona, though a character from any continent will also have access to these professions as secondary once they have met the qualifications to change their secondary profession. PvP characters may choose these professions as primary or secondary as long as Nightfall is attached to the account.

It's good but it's dead
this going through old zone outposts was nostalgic but you dont see anyone at least I didn't.
Most people I saw was in prophecies starting zone.
Everyone is in Spamadan I mean Kamadan American English districts.
you can use npc party members now if you're not social
>you can use NPC party members now if you're not social
is this it's version of trusts in FF11?
They're a little more competent than 11's trusts. Think they started introducing hero NPCs late into Factions? And then slowly backported them to the base game.
They always had henchmen in the core base game, like Orion, Stefan, Alesia, Reyna that you see in ascalon for example. They use a predetermined skill set and are sometimes lower level for the quests in the area.
Heroes were introduced in the third expansion, Nightfall, because before it came out there was generally a healthy population of players to find for groups.
With heroes like Koss, you can fill a party slot with a character who's skillbar and weapon you customize, as well as do content to upgrade their armor appearance.
It was actually kind of cool doing a 1v1 with 3 heroes as allies because you can tell them to use their skills and control them better.
The customization of heros is amazing
it's even better when people figured out which skills the heroes use well and created entire team compositions to stomp pve
gw1 is less mmo and more card game with you building a functional deck then getting immersed in the confy world
No because the NPC companions were in the game since day 1 and the game was designed around them.
everyone is in the American district, not dead at all just less people and most are focused on endgame farming to keep the prices low ( the economy is dictated by the players supplying the NPC merchants)
ectos are currently 5k which is lower than what they were during peak player count tbh
can't tell if VRC or SL
also where's the HD bits from
>he's not timing the ecto market
>2005
>always online
Why did no one b***h about this?
maybe because it's mmo?
I played it with dial up
because not everyone is an unsocial loser like you
people like you are never worth an iota of time to socialize with.
gw1 was considered very consumer friendly when it came out simply because it didn't have a subscription.
They did actually. Theres no reason for it to be online only when the only online part is the hub towns, everything is instanced.
They were celebrating it because it didn't have a mandatory cuck fee like Warcraft.
Why are you shilling this game on daily basis? I don't want to be reminded of Anet's existence after Guild Wars 2.
Let's hear it then, what makes GW2 bad.
I saw the sale on steam then went to arena net and saw the complete version
do you know when the arena net store sale ends?
Yeah the news page says March 21st
Guild Wars 2 isn't even the same universe basically
What
Visual wise it aged horrible. Only the last xpacs (desert one and the nordic one) are still nice to look at.
Main game and first xpac are looking like some crude WoW beta.
I'm tempted to buy this but... idk, seems deserted right?
I mean you can make an npc team like dragons dogma. I didn’t even think about social shit when I bought it.
It's not populated like it was in the old days, but there are plenty of players. You can do all 4 campaigns with real people and pvp still exists
It is very good
Reminder that
has a regular and active Guild Wars thread AND guild. Right now, some guys are running through the Prophecies campaign again (the guild has played through all three campaigns before + gets together to run dungeons sometimes.)
If you're an old player or want to be a new player, come to the thread and post your IGN for a guild invite. Lots of people to do stuff with.
>that gif
take me back
Come play my lord.
spent my vidya budget on Dragon's dogma 2 unfortunately
>doesn't have $10
I have a budget
whats your budget
10 dollars
It's $10 homie
You could buy multiple good games for the price of that one bad game.
>The way it changes from dull yellowish colors to colourful blue.
Guild Wars 1 had amazing mood lighting.
For $10 you can go back
I remember playing the PVP mode at a net cafe and thinking it was breddy neat. I kinda regret my childhood MMO being WoW and even then not much since I had to fight with an older brother for computer time. I miss when people didn't just sit in their isolated discord bubbles.
Great game
post your UI setups
I always liked the original ui set up. I just scaled the minimap a bit smaller
>fully customizable ui out of the box
insane how few other games lets you do this
>Gw2 comes out
>Can barely change a few things like text size
I kinda could tell it was going to be ass at that point, no joke.
>reset my password because it's been 12 years since I logged in last time
>account blocked
>try to write a ticket
>"log in first"
Their support is really good about recovering old accounts. Do you remember the login, email, character names?
not sure about login but email did work when I was reseting the password
also remember my main character name and have all 4 plastics with serial numbers
They'll easily get your account back then. Your account might be locked because a poo probably hacked into it a decade ago
Nah, I think I let one of my friends play it back in 2013 since I just found emails from login attempts back then.
Do I just send email to [email protected]?
Yeah, that's the email I used when I couldn't even remember my log in. Just character names and professions and they found my account.
its insane how brutal hacking was back in the days
a-net just didnt have the infrastructure
some poo or russian must have hacked me multiple times
It wasn't too bad until gw2 came out and most of the dev and support team left
not in my experience. i named my last address, names of my characters, even the name of the weapon my main wore, and they didn't help me. in the end i just bought the game once more but it hurts to have lost the characters i invested so much time in.
You should try again, maybe you got unlucky.
eh, i made my peace with it. got another account and played through the nightfall campain, maybe i'll finish the other three once more one day.
it's really a shame we never got to see utopia, seemed like they had some really cool ideas.

I actually do
There's a thread on /vm/ for all the noobs/returners to hang out in and find people to play with
Does this game get by with just the 8 hotbar abilities? I always felt overwhelmed in MMOs with too many things to have to press. I have a better time trying to menu on a controller in DQ and FF11 than playing WoW and FFXIV.
in pve it can get a bit samey, depending on your build,
I did GWAMM on a dagger assassin and I pretty much just spammed my 123 combo with a few buff spells thrown in for 500+ hours.
Some builds have more variety than that though. Most of the casters require a little more brainpower.
The fun comes from making functional team builds (if you aren't just following pvxwiki)
The game has a lot of skills, but IMO one of the big disadvantages of the game is about 75% of them only seem usable against actual players, since mobs in PvE tend to get dumpstered by a handful of strong AoE spells and you don't need anything else.
>sin
There's your problem. Let me guess, jagged strike, wild strike, death blossom?
yep
basically never changed anything on this skillbar (or my heroes for that matter)
To be fair that's a bar you only acquire halfway through the campaign on a character that had to go to eotn for title track skills. New players or anons on fresh accounts have alot more variety
that's like the whole point of the game though
your bar has no rupts, no enchantment or hex or stance removal, no conditions, no kds, nothing. all it does is pump out damage and mitigate damage, you play the same way in every single zone, unless you're microing your heroes you're just facerolling the bar and never interacting with anything
actually you do apply bleed, right?
but it's a drop in the bucket, you'd use that skill no matter what it did, definitely aren't changing targets to spread bleed
> all it does is pump out damage and mitigate damage
ok sure but it's 2024 and pvp is dead so it's not like you need to interact with the games systems at all once you start getting the few power elites and pve skills. throwing damage at monsters is more effective than trying to approach every encounter like you're in a pvp battle with carefully timed diversions and blackouts and rigor mortises (i haven't actually pvp'ed since 2005)
>it's not like you need to interact with the games systems at all once you start getting the few power elites and pve skills
it's crazy that people will voluntarily play something less fun because it's more efficient
it's a skinner box, gwamm and titles and all that shit, you could just do something besides completing checklists if it sidesteps the entire reason you're playing a game. just tell yourself "I'm not gonna use broken eotn shit" or randomly draft a subset of skills to use or something
doombox is still around, he did playthroughs of prophecies and factions a couple years ago
Ya, I saw he'd made a comeback several years ago. He was dormant for awhile around GW2 launch
>it's crazy that people will voluntarily play something less fun because it's more efficient
I never said I didn't have fun, just that it got pretty samey.
I tried other builds during the grind, like crit barrage bowsin, but I always fell back on daggers because they felt better to play.
Anyway my original point was the 8 skill bar limit will probably have you leaning towards the same subset of skills that you find are strong on mobs, because a ton of the spells are not that useful in PvE. You know, as soon as you find out what Panic is, you're gonna start using it everywhere. Or when you see what a Soul Twisting hero can do, etc. Then those pretty much never change unless you are deliberately trying to make things harder on yourself.
tldr pve skills were a mistake
so was making everything mesmers do aoe
I didn't say it was no fun, but if you were trying to sell someone on gw1 you wouldn't say "yeah it's great, I press 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3, you hit 7 whenever it's up, 8 when your attacks miss, and 5/6 before you start attacking, and that's it. also you gotta be able to recognize which mob is the healer. other than that it never changes"
yes, I'm saying you should deliberately make things harder on yourself if you can't do it on your own. monster drafts, https://gwrandomizer.com, even just building a couple bars on your own and exploring the game
it's not that it's inherently bad, it's that it outperforms any other sin build by far (plus most other builds), you start using it before the tutorial is even over, and there's 0 thought involved
if it was one of 100 equal-strength builds no one would really care, but it's so good that even some other professions are better off ignoring their actual function and facerolling
Bro NTA but people can play however they want. That was the power behind the skill select system of GW1. The fact GW2 left that trading card like edge will never be forgiven by me. Heart questing was ultimately shallow and the random map events should of had triggers that recognized participating players.
>Bro NTA but people can play however they want.
not outside of basic story completion
>That was the power behind the skill select system of GW1.
i get that it's fun for you and a lot of other people, but a system inspired by MTG works the same way as MTG does. there's a handful of cards that you can build a viable deck around, and the rest is utter garbage. that isn't "power" in the system, it's making you spend hours reading to learn which 90% of the skills you are never going to play. everyone else just copies the good builds like in every other game, the selection system isn't really relevant at all once you find the meta builds, and you run the meta, or you counterplay the meta, or you just lose, and 99% of any player base is in the first or last group. even when people found some new meta, izzy just nerfed it into the ground and you were back to square one.
>not outside of basic story completion
What?
>people can play however they want
yeah I know, he himself said it got boring never changing it up, but the power level was too good to give up
I meant you don't really need perfect builds, and can voluntarily give up some of the broken op stuff in exchange for some joy in buildcrafting with constraints
>you run the meta, or you counterplay the meta, or you just lose
in pvp maybe, even though there are dozens of viable pvp builds
in pve you're just wrong. only the most busted stuff (sf, 55monk) gets counters or nerfs because it's fricking the economy, and even then it still works. there's a power level you have to overcome to beat a pve encounter, and it's not "meta pvx can afk the game with heroes" level. you can run fun less efficient builds and do fine
You get over a thousand skills to pick from and are encouraged to switch things up for different missions along the way, not to mention pvp
Its a balance thing for PvP because the end game of GW1 was always PvP focused. If it were more PvE focused end game they'd probably have gone the GW2 route or something similar.
>f it were more PvE focused end game they'd probably have gone the GW2 route
ah yes the game where you can pic 4 skills instead of 8
>b-but weapons have skills
lmao
Guild Wars 2 is better
Ahem, Black person
Yes it does. The 8 skill restriction is what makes the combat so good. You have to coordinate skill bars with your party before you go into zones. The added twist is enemies also (generally) follow this rule. It also makes pvp VERY good
never really got invested in the whole story of the game frankly
>bunch of cat looking aboriginals somehow obliterate big human kingdom

I'm tempted to play gw again on a new account. Which core class should i roll if i want to h/h HM endgame? I was thinking about ranger.
Ranger is one of the best solo farmers because of whirling defense. Also with a bit of effort, you can trap your way through most areas. Of course splinter barrage is still one of the best ways to clear zones fairly.

I had a account years ago with Factions and Nightfall. If I buy Prophecies on Steam, am I right in saying I can link the key to my old account?
I just feel it will be more convenient having it available on Steam instead of just adding the GW launcher to Steam.
people keep saying this, can't you add any game to steam with an exe?
if you buy prophecies it will launch the same launcher (gw.exe) and give you a key to unlock prophecies on an extant account, yes
imagine WoW but removing literally the best part (the jumping)
that’s basically Guild Wars 1
>jump gays
You have to go through the gw launcher everytime anyway. But to answer your first question, yes
Thanks. Really was more for the convivence to be able to download the game via Steam.
Jumping is for ADHD individuals
Guild Wars was literally made by people who didn't want to make WoW.
They are very far apart.
>people play a game where the best part is jumping
it's not even mirror's edge or whatever, a real full on mmo?
Yes, and GW2. Best MMOs.
who has the video from like 2006 where someone edited video of /jump emotes together and made their character jump around cantha somewhere
Frick, don't get my mind running down nostalgia lane with all those lost ancient GW youtube vids... Do you remember the pirate guild YaRR's music video? Guys like Doom Box?
For me it was farming videos set to obscure music that still lives rent free in my head
It's funny going back and watching those and wondering how in the frick I was able to learn anything from them considering the quality
>240p video of triple axe wammo farming frost trolls set to dj Sammy remix

Touch Ranger
Was there anything ranger BVLLS couldn't do?
anything useful in PvE. They had only ONE build that was good: barrage + splinter weapon. You could do other stuff of course but the hardest content basically required this. Ranger was my main, I used Burning Arrow most of the time.
I kinda appreciate OP shilling this. Guild Wars beats most modern games out of the sky.
Am I the only person that LIKES daggerspam?? I just like seeing frick tons of numbers fill my screen and my game lag from all shit going on. I don't really care if I'm not doing anything else.
Try playing daggerspam ONLY with Factions available, no Nightfall skills, no EoTN skills AND IN PVP against other people with Nightfall+Prophecies+EoTN skills and you will understand perfectly the ineptitude of the daggersin and just how OP Nightfall spells are.
Nightfall didn't give sins that many good elites. Shadow prison was probably the best
>Shadow prison was probably the best
are you serious
I don't think you understand how good shadow prison was in pvp
>when the elite spell doesn't deserve its elite status and is in some ways worse than the normal spell
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Talk:Shadow_Prison
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dark_Prison
66% reduced movement speed is huge
man looking over the assassin skill list i'm remembering how much time i wasted trying to make a caster sin work before EOTN
closest i got was some lightning orb, ride the lightning, shadow fang nonsense that was funny in AB even if you spent half your time waiting for exhaustion to go away
It was good before eotn. But caster sin basically always used dancing daggers, impale, and signet of toxic shock
it was like 260 damage plus deep wound on a 25 second cooldown, mine was like 450 and you could do it twice in a row before you had to go sit in the corner for a minute or two
it wasn't good by any stretch but it was good enough to have some fun with the sort of cattle that lived in fort aspenwood
Did you ever try lightning surge? Gives you a hex and a knockdown. I remember having some janky air attunement/lightning surge kd dagger chain build. Was super fun to catch people off guard
yeah i played with it a bit after the original BoA got nerfed. can't remember why i disliked it, too much setup probably.
Ironically A/E attunement sins are the current pvp meta build
i'm surprised there's enough pvp left for there to still be a meta
It's still pretty active in every pvp except codex
lol yeah gust sins are so busted that there's a gentleman's agreement to only use them in monthly automated tournaments
Order of undeath necro good for party play or are you gonna get kicked for hogging too much healing?
It's good if you're using bone fiends or vampiric horrors and your party wants damage. Don't worry about the healing, make those monks earn their loot
vamp horrors will offset the health loss from order
Vamp horrors are fricking trash
If you want a flesh wall you use aotl because you don't care if your melee minions actually hit something, you just want them to pile on the enemies to block them
If you use OoU it means you want to actually deal damage, you use bone fiends period, melee minions are trash at dealing damage and a waste of both skill slot and minion slot in OoU
what other minion do you use
bone fiends alone are too mana intense
Literally your fault for playing MM without a BIP sidekick necro
You don't use any other minion than fiends
why was playing a 1hp bipper battery so satisfying?
Yes, the game is never on sale so I would get it while it's cheap. The game doesn't have a subscription either.
WHY the frick is 'complete edition' not on Steam? What do they gain from gatekeeping it in their web store?
I doubt they even remember the games on it in the first place.
Kinda wish GW1 was actually dead on the off-chance that it got a City of Heroes style revival with new updates.
same, a fresh restart or remaster ala classic wow would actually make the game alive again. a lot of people like "ladder resets" or equivalent
Is it actually good? Or is it just nostalgic babies? I did not care for GW2 at all.
It is very good, unironically one of the best games ever made. Gw2 plays nothing like GW1. It is a 19 year old game though, so curb your expectations.
Can you compare it to a video game? I remember playing DECADES ago but I can't recall how it played.
it's kinda like if dota had no skillshots and 8 skills instead of 4 and was an mmo with cooperative missions and ai party members (or players)
Only good comparison is DDO and even that's pretty different. It's an rpg before an mmo, focused on team building and skill synergy. The strength of gw is the ability to restat and skill your characters for different situations. Also the lore, art, and music is 10/10. You literally will not find a better game deal for $10
What are your favourite classes?
I love all of them, except mesmer. Favorite has got to be ranger though.

I wonder if Stephen and most of the old people who worked on GW1 know about these opinions. I'd like to put them all in a google doc and present it to them.
Hell I was so pissed when I made Starcraft 1 maps and NOBODY thought of making let's play/videos of Starcraft 1 maps 🙁 not even when it came to high-ranking PvP Desert Strike & Income Wars competitions.
So what I wanted was a video/the replay of the maps I edited & made to watch people play them and how they played them to see if they use any strategies.
Because there was this one Halloween-themed map where I jokingly added Michael Jackson as a piece of shit summoner where you can only deal 1 damage to him cause he had 255+ armour. So I jokingly added a hardmode beacon that raised his HP from 150 to 2000 as a joke and some lunatic told me him and his group killed him... in hard mode. I'm genuinely curious how the frick he did it cause normally it should be fricking impossible, there's not enough heals and damage to go around to be able to sustainably deal 2000 points of damage.
I'm genuinely curious how the frick did those lunatics do it.
im not giving a single penny to the a-net ghouls
Alright fine I'll reinstall. I never did finish any of the campaigns.
Based. Remember if you're purchasing the complete collection, you install the game THEN imput the product key
I actually have two accounts, a newer one with all 4 editions, and a much older one that I regained access to that has just Prophecies and Factions.
>still no response from support
tomorrow I guess...
You're the anon who put the key to the wrong authenticator right?
nah
they still didn't reply
stop impostering me
i bought another key
also apparently arenanet is adding authenticators to inactive gw2 accounts. pretty moronic since i'm pretty sure this is what happened in my case and i've had to wait 3 days now for a response
I'm so sorry anon. I know that pain. Did you try sending a second support ticket?
If only there was a way to change/mod the art style into a cutesy western-japanese hybrid style like pic related just like Starcraft 1's HD remake+cartoon mod.

Almost every single goddamn character had a b***h attitude outside of e-girl Gwen ... albeit most of the kid NPC characters and NPCs had that "woe is me help me and I'm also ignorant as shit" the writing for GW1 isn't very good beyond its lore & world design. (kind of like every RPG maker ever)
Tahlkora was the sweetest person ever. Mhenlo was also super optimistic if I remember right

>"CHARR could be here" he thought, "I've never be in this explorable instance before. "There could be charred ANYWHERE". The warm morning breeze felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE CHARR" he thought. Jeremy Soule OST reverberated his entire inventory, making it pulsate even as the 50gold shamrock ale circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of charr over the wall. "With a fiery dragon sword, you can farm anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
Imagine being the human faction rofl stomping Charr, Sylvari, Asura & Nord threats that come your way. Would of been glorious.
I have alot of nostalgia for this game's loading screens. I only had dial-up as a kid so I'd sit and stare at them for hours.
I was disappointed when Kaineng didn't have a map that looked like the loading screen when I first enter the pier.
I thought it was going to look like this giant pier or airport landing strip... I had no idea what I was looking at was actually the top of many blocky buildings. So I was very refreshed when at least 60% jade sea were open areas instead of labyrinth shit layout (and still pissed off 40% of it was wasted on grassland islands without even giant mountains)
Only thing I can appreciate about GW2 is that it finally put its environment to good use and you didn't feel like an elephant ghost stuck to the ground and the environment yelling at you "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME, DON'T YOU DARE INTERACT WITH ME, OH YOU WANT UP? NO UPSIES FOR YOU >:( "

Kaineng is a claustrophobic dump designed specifically to maximize the pleasure you feel when you first enter Pongmei valley.
I hate to ask, but is there a Ganker guild or anything?
I haven't played since I was a teenager and wouldn't mind some anons as company.
>hate to ask
The game is best played with other people. Ive been forming parties with randos since I started playing again. Yes there is a Ganker guild
yeah post character name
Do not join a Ganker guild you'll be stuck doing nothing all day.
Join [LGIT] instead, it's the biggest and most active alliance in GW1 that basically kept this game alive. They fund the Chinese New Years feast events every year.
The only "problem" is that they're not the best experts at endgame content since they have so many people coming in that haven't played in 15 years.
DoA, UW, FoW, Deep, SoO are b***hfests usually by that 1 tank, but otherwise it's a chill alliance, except it gets a bad rap for being the "oh it's the big non-specialized noob clan" but it's best to stay away from the elitists that aren't even in it for the money, they're in it for the "I NEED TO CLEAR THIS DUNGEON IN UNDER 5 MINUTES FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS, FRICK YOUR LOCKED CHESTS. >:( ".
>you'll be stuck doing nothing all day
We've played through numerous dungeons and all three campaigns together. have a nice day.
>don't join a guild where you do nothing
>join a guild where they can't do anything, run by a moron botter
worst of both worlds. if you don't want to shoot the shit with other anons and play campaigns together, then join [nite] or something
Or heaven forbid join [KISS] *laughing track*
>>join a guild where they can't do anything,
They have a shit load of players that do shit all the time. Except for Mount Qinkai HM clears cause nobody does that shit anymore. And also RIP Arborstone.
>GW1; Mommy can I climb up there?
>GW1: lol you can't even roll over and fall to your death in this game, let alone climb, jump, fly.
>GW2; explore my son, explore as far as the eyes can see, the world is your oyster. Everything the sun touches is yours.
>GW2; explore my son, explore as far as the eyes can see, the world is your oyster. Everything the sun touches is yours.
>but also kurzicks and luxons are no longer a thing, because we're all one race, the human race
>GW1; son have as many build templates as you like, they are free and move the UI anyway you like. customize as you see fit.
>GW2; did you see the new chair for sale in the cash shop? also while you're there maybe buy a few build templates 🙂
Jump gays will never recover
you get like 3 or 4 templates for free
i understand it's more about principle, but why would you ever need more?
>why would you ever need more?
>i understand it's more about principle, but why would you ever need more?
Are you insane? Different builds for different playstyles for different areas for different purposes.
yeah but pvp and wvw is absolute dogshit and fractals/raids are irrelevant content for nerds who have never touched a woman and probably spend half their monthly wage on gems to buy cat chairs and fairy wings for their transmogs
so you basically only need open world builds
You get 3 build slots and only 2 equipment slots, so you're already being pushed to buy a third one from the get go.
Each class has three elite specs and most of them have more than one build. You can instantly tweak your build based on the situation but that defeats the purpose of build templates.
Now, one equipment + one build slot cost almost as much as a whole character slot, meaning you're getting ripped off big time if you want more slots for your main.
Also the overall interface in GW2 has been cancer for over a decade and the devs refuse to even let you customise it beyond "show/hide this UI element in combat". It's unbelievable how much of a technical downgrade GW2 is compared to its predecessor.
>but why would you ever need more?
the new "don't you have phones"
this can't be real lmao, it's a frickin template
>uhm why would you NEED to be able to save or change your build?
>Can kill you with a thought while in ghost form cause he's literally an envoy/a grim reaper
>Other envoys/grim reapers pull the usual "We can't help you cause ... we just can't!"
>Becomes physical and suddenly you can kick his ass.
Explain to me this logic. What the frick were the writers behind Guild Wars on? bad Ganker cliches?
Also it's fricking hilarious how Shiro Tagachi is actually a warrior in disguise, he used warrior animations when attacking. It's clear the assassin was suppose to be some subclass or to be used in combo with the warrior. Or simply SAMURAI > Asscreeds.
Shiro needed this scene in order to make him an imposing threat .... beyond dying over 30 times to him when noobs came unprepared against his impossible odds + battle scars auto healing.
I don't understand why Tagachi was suddenly turning everyone into shiro'kens instead of afflicteds. Was it an advanced form of binding your soul compared to just black plagueing's your ass?
Shiro probably knew he was being used as a pawn by demons.
The Shiro'ken were a more directly controllable minion type than the Afflicted which were a demonic corruption working through Shiro's fricked up spirit.
Afflicted weren't really serving Shiro or something he consciously decided to create, they were just a byproduct of him wandering around. His spirit was so toxic and radiating so much evil energies that just coming near him corrupted you into a mindless blob of meat. Of course he took advantage of this and spread some chaos, but Shiro'ken were the actual army he wanted to create to serve him.
>His spirit was so toxic and radiating so much evil energies that just coming near him corrupted you into a mindless blob
That's him.... The original chud....
>Not posting the superior version

Also;
>Canthans are all Chinese/have chinese names, even the emperor is Chinese
>Villain has a Japanese name.
Wut were they >implying?
>What people expect when they choose Assassin
>What people actually get when they choose Assassin
A/D or D/A were the real deal if you wanted to feel powerful. Pure A is dogshit.
I don't think he could actually do anything as a spirit besides command monsters and take people's lives away though. I guess if you're an evil demon that's all you care about, but still
>assassin was suppose to be some subclass or to be used in combo with the warrior
I remember some dev thing (maybe secondhand) where they said sin was supposed to be attribute lines for warrior. would've prevented a lot of the balancing and planning problems if they'd done that
>Shiro is capable of possessing and taking direct control of Shiro'ken at will
Guild Wars feels a lot like Steven Universe(sorry for making that comparison) and Naruto and other shows and things with GREAT potential world design, but horrible execution. Basically the idea sounds good, but the morons write it worse than someone's fanfiction. At least when someone writes fanfiction he writes it to enjoy it himself instead of writing in a seething "how dare she look more beautiful than me" or "eh it's a living, just a job... IT'S MEANT TO BE BAD just like a shitty Ganker series".
I will never consider Ganker writers+directors human. How can an animation director+writer be almost as good as a movie director, but a Ganker director/writer is like taking somebody who works in a cubicle or watches paint dry as a pasttime allowed to be in charge of these shows?
Naruto had so much cool shit with the different cleans like Hyugas, Uchihas, Uzumakis, pure taijutsu users, special kekkei genkai OCs, and they went unused. And Sakura? let us not talk about Sakura.
Uchiha took the spotlight too much, there should have been a Hyuga/Byakugan-user villain (technically we got that in Boruto with the aliens) but some basic-ass fights like Neji vs Sasuke, Sasuke vs Rock Lee rematch, Neji vs Rock Lee never happened.
Some shit goes unexplained like who the frick is Kanaxai? who the frick is Urgoz?
link to the original post?
Kanaxai is a demon set loose by Luxons digging too deep and too greedily, and Urgoz is a forest spirit driven mad by the Jade Wind.
BUT WE NEED TO DIG DEEPER. What the Fuuu is it? what is a Balrog? where does it come from? how DEEP do I have to dig to find out who his mother and father are?
Kanaxai was a demon from Torment, attracted to and feeding on the misery wrought by the Jade Wind
A GW2 fractal establishes that he was in fact confronted and contained shortly after he appeared, but his influence lingered and drove many Luxons mad over the years, eventually getting them to dig him back out.
GW1 demons ain't nothing to frick with, is all.
Kanaxai still the coolest motherfricker in the entire franchise.
He's giga edgy in his fractal, and I love it.

Zoom zoom here (i was born in 02 but still) the Complete Collection is i guess not on steam and only from the site ? (i would really prefer if it was on steam)
Ok this shit explained it for me https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=190130769
Zoomers really are taught from a young age to respect, eat, wienersuck companies and hate anything physical, local, homegrown, etc.. :/
Just buy it from the anet site. It's a better deal and you go through their launcher no matter what you choose
yea but steam is more comfotable and i can reinstall it more easily
yea its like 12~e on steam
goty=proph+eotn
trilogy=proph+factions+nightfall
you could replicate the complete collection with trilogy+eotn, but it's more expensive
What if I have all 4 already and just want a steam copy? Could I just pay $5 for the steam copy and use my old login to access everything?
sorry by steam copy I meant the GOTY
>a steam copy
?
it's all the same thing, steam is going to give you the same gw exe launcher you get from guildwars.com
Also zoomer here. Stop being a gay.
Zoomer too, bought it from the Anet set the last time they had this sale. Was suspicious but everything worked fine, the game has a fullscreen launcher that works just fine. Fun gaem, very comfy

OH NO NO NO NO NO
Game runs its own launcher which Steam has issues capturing play-information for (probably disabled for some compatibility reason), and then launches into the actual game.
GW1 on Steam is also split into 5 packages for some reason so even the reviews and discussion are broken.
there would at least be bots
i jerk off to naked dancing eles
basic taste
God I hate what GW2 did to GW1 during End of Dragons. Fricking b***hes. Nika was fine at launch and then they done did pic related REEEEEE
launch reference: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Nika_(mist_champion)
Just give her a mask, at least she kept the tummy
holy shit
so bad
frick gw2
It brings up a good question regarding ghosts. Do they take the form of when they died, or do they pick their 'best' look/age? Nika could have just died when she became a mutant freak due to jade radiation
>radiation causes you to lose booba, fricks up your hair and gives you a moon asiatic face
No, the actual answer here is that EoD went the hardest they ever did in terms of wokeness, and that a cute canthan girl with white features and big booba was a big no no and so she was changed to this monstrosity because its more asian or some shit.
I have no doubt they'd change her mist champion form if they had any idea what they're doing, but they're unable to touch that spagetti code from the core game so there's that at least.
Anyway relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxTiwKvp348
>radiation makes you fall apart at the molecular level
>breaks down your genetic code and your cells start doing shit theyre not programmed to do
yes
what the FRICK
This can't be real...
It's not. homies say it's from GW2 but we all know they never made a sequel.
when I was a kid I added livia to my party, went into lion's arch keep, and jerked off once. I didn't even know about flagging, so I kept getting annoyed when she'd reposition outside where I zoomed in
>you now remember Cynn

was cynn a yandere? why did she like mhenlo so much?
Mhenlo just had that chad energy about him.
For real. Even girls in my guild would """joke""" about how hot he was.
He's the Chad Doctor. Despite being a bald monk he just makes that bald look work cause of how young and angelic he looks. However give him bleach blonde hair matching his white clothes and suddenly every b***h wants to frick him.
Chad bald Mhenlo Vs Virgin bald Togo. Learn the difference.
UOHHH gave a small child my flute
Imagine how many gallons of charr semen went in there
>give little girl gifts
>she starts following you around and idolizing you
why did this game have grooming mechanics
why can't westoids design hot vidya girls like this anymore
People like her got hired as early as late 00s, infiltrate the team, and then destroy it from within.
And you let her get away with it to this day instead of "marrying" her and forcing her into a 50 year old+ abusive relationship beating the living shit out of her everyday and calling her a worthless slampig that cannot write herself out of a paperbag machete.
I brought it and then was unable to play or log into the account I made or something. I ended up refunding it, I think it was telling it I had no internet connection or some kind of error what I look up said to contact their support but when I buy a game I want to click play and play it not jump through hops
>support still has not unblocked my old account
Should i just remove gw trilogy from my steam library and buy it again for a new product key?
Can't you refund it ad buy complete version on ncsoft store?
I don't think they pay too much attention, but be careful, if you associated it with your old account and you refund it they might ban you or something
Trying to run through Prophecies with henchmen was tough, so i went across the ocean to import some Black folks.

When's the earliest you can get heroes? When you get to Lion's Arch, or is there another way?
pay someone to run you to lion's arch and do the quest to reach spamadam, go outside main gate and unlock few heroes, then once level 10 go outside lion's arch and get moxx, now you can roflstomp propechies
Was in character creation but had to jerk off because the girls were too hot.
Wait til you take off their armor
I forgot they all have unique panties. Reinstalling.
Ele panties best panties
Still image does no justice to those panties.
/dance
Panties change base on classes. A Canthan Ele will have the same panties as an Krytian Ele.
I want to rub my face on those shiny panties so hard that I make the sneaker squeak sound
I want to give her a wedgie
I forget, do the panties also change depending on the campaign on you make the character in?
for me its the white mantle mages, look at that puffy vulva
Still mad they never let us have that cool as frick WM armour for Warrior.

what support builds should I use
This particular Elite Skill.
well yeah I'll use that. I haven't really touched it yet which is why I'm making a stupid beast mastery team.
I meant more of the auxiliary stuff, like an orders necro or something
Its usually the usual. Order is going to work since you and army are going to do physical damage.
>Aura of the Lich MM always has a readily supply of minion armies at any moment
>Order of Undeath MM have a handful of minions that does massive damage but resource are very scarce
>Jagged Bones MM are just bombers
>Flesh Golem MM just has One Level 32 Flesh Golem following around while he or she spend most of her bar buffing it or keeping it alive
I like how there are like 4 basic playing styles as a MM in this game.
>I'm ready to settle now
I feel like I never got anything good out of dungeon chests
I had strangely good luck. Got a Bone Dragon Staff out of my very first Shards of Orr chest and two Emerald Blades out of a dozen, at most, Catacombs of Kathandrax runs. It was the Underworld chest that always fricked me.
I always get some high req trash skin or the rare crafting material
literally NEVER pulled one of the rare dungeon skins
and I did soosc and bogs for a bit too
>big fan of GW2's legendary gear system grinding legendaries takes a long time, but once you're fully decked out in them, you basically never have to worry about gear on your account ever again
Nah, frick you. GW1 gear system was w>ay better and when they introduced ascended items alot of my mates list interest in the second game
ascended gear is like what, a 2-5% upgrade over exotic gear? it's barely noticable
you can do basically all content in this game with full exotic gear and you can get a full set of exotic gear just with a click of some buttons
>when they introduced ascended items
That was, like, in 2013. They haven't introduced any higher tier equipment in over ten years though I'll concede that they completely shat the bed with relics.
>it's barely noticable
How is 2% "barely noticeable" when the whole point of stats increases is that they all add up to make you stronger? The real problem of pink gear was that it was used to gate fractals due to the agony shit and at the same time it could only be acquired via either fractals or the moronic crafting system.
I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't get into Guild Wars. It was the only MMO whose golden age I missed (I played UO at launch, FFXI until CoP, WoW until WOTLK, DAOC at launch, etc etc), so I got it a while back. I was completely filtered by the janky movement and dated combat. Even worse, I've been playing GW2 for like 3 years and really like it despite its flaws. Forgive me for my sins.
>dated combat
???
It's just typical MMO fare from that era and lacks fluidity. The openness when it comes to builds and having multiple classes is really cool though, unfortunately it's just not fun for me to play. And yes, I realize the irony because some of the aforementioned games were very similar in regards to combat (DAOC especially), but I have no doubt I'd feel the same way as I do towards GW1 if I played those games today. That's why I said I missed the boat; I probably would have loved GW1 had I played it at release.
GW2 is the only reason GW1 even remained somewhat relevant
GW1 was already dying untill they somewhat revitalized it by introducing the HoM reward system for GW2
it's also funny how people used to do nothing but shit on the game's balance when it was still active, while now it's somehow considered like this holy grail of game balance & pvp
>GW1 was already dying
no it wasn't.
t. cried a little when guru died
it was
you could barely find people anymore to do story missions or quests with and had to resort to henchmen/heroes all the time, whereas when i first started playing i remember almost always having full groups of real people for everything
the game just wasn't attracting new players anymore
>the game just wasn't attracting new players anymore
i will agree with that, it hit it's peak and dropped off. the people that loved it staid faithful to it.
>it was
>hurr
>hurrdurr
arenanet announced they would stop making content and started shilling gw2, no wonder it dropped off
I've only played GW2
How's Mesmer and Elementalist in GW1?
mesmer = probably some of the best
ele = possibly the most shit
that being said, pretty much all content in GW1 is group content, meaning you'll have 3-7 other party members with you at all times, making your own class choice not very important
>making your own class choice not very important
I played monk. PvE scrubs used to adore me.
tell me I was great, thanked me for being great and asked if they could add me to their friends list.
t. monk strike scum
>Thunderhead Keep
>/dance
😀
>ele = possibly the most shit

Mesmer ranger and monk are the most thinking you will do, ele is just get build and rotate high damage stuff and maybe cast a ward.

I'm working on it.
It's a consolegay game though.
I never did the raids or any of the really big endgame content besed eotn I guess? Is everybody joining that /vm/ guild? You guys wanna play sometime?
I'm gonna join em. I've tried to play with anons in thread, but no one ever replies. Been playing with randos instead and it's been super fun
>Is everybody joining that /vm/ guild?
Ye, come post your ign and someone will invite you.
>used to spend hours and hours of autistic farming to get enough money to buy obsidian armor
>can now just spend like 5 bucks to get 1000k gold and 500 ectos delivered to you almost instantly
i honestly recommend just buying gold for any new player wanting to try out GW1, 5 bucks will pretty much give you all the money you will ever need
But where's the fun?
the fun is in being able to buy whatever you want
You don't need real money to do that. And most obsi armor isn't even the best looking.
>You don't need real money to do that
no you just need autistic amounts of boring farming instead
i'll just spend the 5 bucks instead and spend my time on the things i enjoy doing (which isn't farming)
>Get the travelers gifts once a week for 3 weeks
>sell them
>can afford anything besides rare skins
???
how much do they go for now?
>spend 5 bucks in 5 minutes
>can afford anything including rare skins
???
You could probably pay someone 5 bucks to play the game for you and just describe what they did with "your" characters.
keep telling yourself whatever it is you want to hear to justify spending your time on boring amounts of farming, anon
MMO's have given you brainrot
>justify spending your time on playing the game
woe is me
more like spending your time doing the same shit over and over again
i've already had this discussion in this thread btw and have given an answer to all your current and upcoming replies
read my previous comments, i'm not gonna repeat everything again
>more like spending your time doing the same shit over and over again
Oh yeah, I love playing JQ and FA, over and over.
That's the good shit.
>just pay to win bro
>just skip the fun journey and buy bro
No
>implying farming the same area over and over again is somehow a "fun journey"
frick off, nerd
farming the same area over and over again
wot?
i said i buy gold so i never have to waste my time farming
you implied i was skipping the fun journey by doing this
i'm saying i actually can spend more time on the fun parts now because i don't have to waste my time farming gold
understand?
>farming gold
You know you get gold by simply playing the game?
if you've played the game you'd know just playing through the stories barely gives you anything noteworthy
No, it doesn't. Even filling the books gives you good mone.
there is not a single thing in the game that you can do just once and get rich from
if you want the big bucks, you're gonna have to farm and/or powertrade
or you can just spend 5 bucks and forget about all that autistic shit
>there is not a single thing in the game that you can do just once and get rich from
Wealth required to fully deck yourself out in GW is nothing. Basic max armor is cheap. Max weapons are cheap. Only by equipping your 7 heroes with sup vigors and sup dom runes you'll need some actual money but that's still far away from need riches.
yes but that wasn't the point, the point was that i wanted to have enough money to buy whatever i want and never have to worry about gold again
>spend like 5 bucks to get 1000k gold and 500 ectos delivered to you almost instantly
moron
does anyone remember what year the last fisherman's haven meetup was?
I think it was 2017. kind of remember it being before the cough.
It still hurts you know. How shit guild wars 2 is. I can feel my heart bleeding. I broke up with girlfriends and it was easier on my soul. Guild wars 1 is still there and it's still good. I replayed it a few years ago again and it was just like back in the day. Unchanged. Still excelent in every way. I even found an active guild of boomers. Full of boomer problems. But it was still great. And now I feel my heart healing. But the momen I think about guild wars 2 it hurts.....it hurts so fricking much. Fricking give us back jeremy soule at least.
WTB air CC any q
hold me, bros...
excellent taste my Luxon comrade
>jade sea had some of the best music in the game
>it's pretty much the only music from GW1 they haven't added into GW2
why
I always thought of the Luxon theme as an elegy for the life lost when an ocean was turned to jade by a madman's rage.
The Kurzick theme is more upbeat in tone, even though they're supposed to be the gloomy emos of the setting.
So GW1-2 are worth it for playing solo?
1 is, 2 is basically collector obsessed soccermom central. Fun platforming but that's about it.
1 has controllable NPC party members allowing you to solo everything so it's essentially 4 long single player games.
2 idk, it seemed a furry simulator when I stopped playing.
Is 1 worth playing if I've never touched the game before? Or is it good for nostalgia only
GW1's dual class + skill system hasn't been duplicated in other games yet so if you like to mess with builds and party compositions it's definitely worth it.
FF11 had a better dual job system
Simply kino
It was amazing back in the day but I don't know whether it still has the player count to truly live and breathe right now, plus I imagine the remaining playerbase must be made up of hardcore fans who know the game in and out so the entire community has to be different. The times have changed too, when I played it nearly 20 years ago or some shit just being able to play together with so many other people was mind-boggling and extremely appealing coming from a perspective where MP used to be a special occasion when you have someone over, take part in some LAN event or go to an internet cafe.
I want to mod bannerlord, so that the world is as big as LOTRO and its all just GW1 again.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBAA
>All I names I want are taken

I know that feeling, 14yo me wasn't the best at naming things.
None of them are even covertly racist.
Got into it with factions and it unironically hit as hard as original wow
It's great, but enjoy the extreme ping
GW1 influenced my love for emo girls and tall norn women. and maybe neat british women wearing 18th-century clothes.
>Rubber banding in a game that takes next to no resources to keep online
????
Anet was never known for making optimised games.
The ultimate sadness I feel towards GW1 is that, generally, it was the MMO equivalent of Quake3/UnrealTournament99: it demonstrated that a fundamental basis in creating a functional, fun PvP system in an MMO genre could then be used to create a fun and engaging PvE system; the opposite is just not true, which is why there hasn't been a (popular) MMO since that has had good PvP.
What other mmo has the same gameplay as ritualist?
Tfw this killed the thread
because rit is fricking boring to death
Factually incorrect
bruh the 2 main rit builds are SoS and ST
the 2 most borings builds in the entire game
you literally never have to interact with any enemy or ally the entire game, just use your shit on cd
You act like there aren't classes that are "boring" to others like the gif you just posted, no one plays monk cause of the APM needed is unnecessarily high, not everyone finds that fun ok? OK.
Don't die on that hill bro
There's not a single class in the entire game that doesn't require at the very least to target enemies or allies to work
Rit is a self-contained minigame at this point, you don't have to interact with anything in the game to fulfill your role, just press buttans
Even E-surge mesmer which is the 3rd most braindead build in the entire game actually has to vaguely target enemies to deal damage
You're wrong and you're allowed to be wrong and thats ok but my opinion is objectively correct.
I fricking hate how easy I am to bait
Frick you have some asura bawd, dipshit
>he doesn't know
I love GW skill icons.
>Shiro Tagachi kills the Emperor and is just sort of a merciless butthole during his life
>In death his soul is so fricking evil that just being near it causes living beings to mutate into monsters
In GW1, fricking with the demon realm and its bad mojo can not ever result in anything but ruin and sorrow.
In GW2, THESE demons akshually dindunuffin, chuds. And if they did, it's because they were opressed by a m*le.
I will never forgive gw2 for ruining mesmer and deleting paragon and rit
Has GW2 expanded to the Factions chinese zone and nightfall zone?
Yes, they turned Cantha into cyberpunk Korea. Elona is pretty much the same except it's full of purple crystals and sludge.
they did both cantha and elona
cantha was mostly alright, shing jea island was nice and echovald forest was great, but kaineng city kinda lost its charm of GW1 and jade sea was hot garbage
elona was overall pretty well done i'd say, although i personally never really cared about sandBlack person/desert areas in general
At least you weren't a Monk main.
What's a good basic 1k female rit armor?
>tfw no Rt gf to mend my body and soul
Anyway: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ritualist_armor
oh my
looks like shit
yeah i forgot to take the whit out between her
i had ONE(1) JOB
Your mom looks like shit, now post pics of her.
tbh I'd love to have all Mesmer and Warrior armor and all of my classes, IMO they look the best.
Dervs+Rits wear nothing but rags, Sin looks like he's wearing pajamas, Ranger is fine I guess, Ele is fine I guess, Necro is nothing but goth,punk,emo shit.
Paragon is just fricking gay looking trying to look all angelic & shit.
Just started playing ritualist. How much grinding will I have to do for that monument armor?
It doesn't require particularly expensive materials, so not much per se
Since it's a EotN armor you'll have to reach rank 5 with the Ebon Vanguard before you get to craft it though, which means you'll have to go through the entire Eotn Campaign at least once on your Rit
Don't forget to fill in the book to redeem it and get your points
Finish EotN campaign and turn in the storybook and you should be set pretty much.

Bots can't. It's an anti-bot patch because bots have dominated PvP for years and years.
Uh, I doubt it.
if you leave a pvp match before its over you get a hex in town, cant enter pvp for 10 minutes or something cant remember
Is this the same homosexual that nerfed every viable build after guildwars 2 came out to push people into 2?
I think that guy was called Iggy , he's the homosexual that "nerfed" Shadow form, gave exhaustion conditionals to Eles, nerfed Dervishes in a way and made Mesmers the meta for PvE because of all the AoE.
Izzy
THE IZZY?
>year's
For a jack of all trades homouniversalis aquarius Leonardo Da Vinci(bet "Izzy" isn't even an aquarius) he sure knew how to frick everything up like a commie.
The icon for the Mesmer skill called Frustration is literally Izzy.
I sure as frick wouldn't have wanted the job as guy in charge of balance, but someone had to.
I wouldn't want to do it when the game was in it's prime. also, he was a different guy back then, if you know what I mean. then around..well yeah when that whole gamer/journo diarrhea happened, he did a 360 and changed.
bonus: all skill icons with people are devs, friends of devs, family members etc etc
Pretty sure shes trans now
You can now easily farm the suicidal RA bots for faction and Gladiator rank and they can't do shit about it!
What does that mean for JQ.
why did she do it?
Idiotball plot demanded it. Commie writers have this mentality of "I can't do it, you do it" most arab princes/sultans have this mentality of "I can't fetch my own glass of water 🙁 Wut? no sparkling water with bubbles? you're useless >:("
I'd seriously do a personality test before I ever hired a writer.
Can someone tell me the most coomer class pls
female warrior or female necromancer
then female ele female mez
Ele easily
Female necros have some amazing armors and are pure sexo but their dance animation is shit
Yeah Michael Jackson's thriller isn't very hot.
I still wonder why didn't they just use the dance animations from other classes, it's the same damn rig/skeleton.
Male paragon
this and they all look really nice with the wreath hat
Male necro is the randy marsh of gw1
Every class is sexo, but Ele really are the Stacy turbobawds of GW
Then what are the Mesmers?
The trad wives
Manipulative prostitutes who will gaslight you into thinking they love you while fricking half of Ascalon behind your back
>-oomer
You're too young for Guild Wars.
I'm 18 and enjoying it
Post your belly
I'm a twink
Post it
Not today you lecherous old homosexual 😉
I'm 29 and look 18 and behave like a weird mix of a 80 year old and a 5 year old >:) which would be normal if I was asian, but I'm not asian.
All these threads gave me the urge, the need, to go through pre-searing again. Necro or Ranger?
Yeah it's fun and a lot of content for that price
kys
kissmyass, darling.
I have unironically bought the Complete Edition three days ago because of some anon making a similar thread recently. played about 10 hours, currently level 11. Made some returning player friend and we did most of the tutorial zone with him, good stuff.
I do have my gripes with the combo profession system though. I picked Mesmer as main job and Necromancer as secondary job, I tried around various Mesmer builds but I seem to be doing much better by just dunking all points into Blood Magic (Necromancer). Do you have any recommendation builds/tips as a mesmer early game? I currently just use 7 Blood/Death abilities and 1 Inspiration ability which shields me from fire damage and gives me energy when I get hit
If you're playing Prophecy, mesmers take some time to develop, you still don't have too much Fast-cast points and the nature of the class makes it naturally more useful against tougher high level enemies rather than low level shrimps who die too fast
I know most of the useful Domination damage spells come from Faction and Nightfall campaigns though, so you'll probably have to suffer until you reach Lion's Arch and travel around to unlock more skills
I am doing the first campaign, but I lowkey wanna try the new classes when I do the other two campaigns because they look unique as frick especially Paragon/Dervish. When you go for Nightfall or Factions stories are you forced to create new character? Or can you respec?
If you want to fully play other classes you have to make another character
You can bring your main Mesmer to NF and Faction, and you can unlock the new classes as secondary, but you won't have access to the class' identity attribute since it will be just as a secondary for your main
I assume the game prioritizes you playing one character as far as endgame goals go or is it a relatively alt-friendly experience?
>a relatively alt-friendly experience?
Very much so.
Do not attempt assassin endgame content, not because assassin is not(he's too Ganker for the job) but because as a tank you have to learn you have to LEARN A LOT, how to pull, ball enemies, learn every dungeon layout, what to do, when to yell at your DPS to AoE those suckers. Blame it on the ping, learn to not get hit by enemies rather than relying on +75% blocks and armour. You'll turn into an elitist.
Mesmer atm has been the meta since 2012. Everyone wants DPS and DPS is braindead easy to play.
Monk again requires some brains to play, not as much as the tank, but still a bit of brains.
It depends on the campaign
Faction is extremely alt-friendly : you level up fast, get your bonus attribute point quests on the tutorial island, and you access the main HUB on the continent with the endgame-ready armor sellers right after you finish the tutorial
NF is a little less so alt friendly because NF is full of dumb tedium : shitty non-cutscenes dialogues that you have to wait through, title grind, lots of annoying back and forth....
Prophecy is either extremely alt-friendly if you know someone who can ferry you to the end of the game with a runner character and if you have enough cash to straight buy the best armor from Droknar and skill tomes to get an optimized build, or extremely slow if you have to re-do the entire campaign from scratch.
I paid $240 to have all 10 classes unlocked with all EotN finished + the 4 PVE titles. Guy told me "listen if you want me to catch all 300 elite skills that'll cost you in the $700+ range"
I was relatively happy with the account he built for me outside of the fact a bunch of DoA wasn't unlocked for all characters, but again only assassins and mesmers belong in DoA, which he did.
He basically min-max optimized it. In that $240 he also had to buy me a shit load of consets cause I told him "speedclear ready account" I NEVER EVER wanted to ever hear "we already have a tank for this, we need a tank for that, you don't have the skills needed" so I got all my elite tomes, all the necessary skills to do end game. Shit was cash.
With that being said as a depressed crypto entrepeneur I ended up only doing Nick Sets once a week and treated GW almost as a job. Doing the anniversary weapons for April gave me some motivation to try all classes.
Warrior is still fricking fun to play with. No aftercast delay, no accidental interrupting yourself like with the elementalist.
and Derv ... derv at first feels weak until he magically spikes the living shit out of everything through a series of combos my brain cannot comprehend + his ability to self heal unlike most melee classes. Derv feels like warrior and assassin had a child or a ranger's stances. Assassin also has some powerful self-healing abilities compared to warriors.
Not sure if to doompost you this early...
You're still in pre?
I'm going to tell you the reality of the "multiple classes" BS. Only very few skills that do not depend on attribute can be combined properly with another class. Skills that do not take a lot of points to be effective.
Even as a lvl 20 (with 2 extra quests that give you +20 points) you still feel like you're better off going PURE.
Secondary classing is for gimmick builds and PvP such as a secondary ranger can use charm animal to get a pet companion. (unfortunately you need to waste ANOTHER ability on your skillbar in case your pet ever dies during your match in order to revive him. Normal ressurection skills do not work on pets/allies/minions).
Gimmick builds can be fun, EXTREMELY FUN, just not capable of beating metas.
>just not capable of beating metas
*blocks your path*
Neat, if that returning player was a female Necro then it was me, lol.
cap, what's the name?
>Empathy
>Backfire
I am your GOD
I don't know if they removed it, but back when I made my Mesmer, the end of the tutorial area was an arena fight against another randomly selected player, and I got set up against an obvious newbie Ele spamming Flare.
I still feel dirty about what I did that day. The first taste is always the best.
yeah they removed that pvp encounter after the playerbase dropped but I rememer it, thought it was npcs until someone started swearing and I was hype as frick
>removed that pvp encounter after the playerbase dropped
nah you just have to queue into people, did it like 2 weeks ago
some people messed up queueing and we ended up split 2v4 and fricked though
>nah you just have to queue into people,
wow that's impressive that its still in haha, nice
I remember getting bodied by a mm necro the first time as a level seven ranger. I dont know how the frick i functioned in pvp as a moronic kid all i knew was to interrupt casters.
I really liked stuff like that in GW, it introduced you to PvP early and later would incentivize you to participate in lower level PvP arenas as you played the game, before having you move on to the max level stuff.
was a crazy idea having all the arenas in the world, with endgame pvp after you ascended
sad they leaned away from pvp with nf and eotn. maybe it was just too hard to balance, but it's easier to play a pvp game forever than a pve one
>maybe it was just too hard to balance
they made too many different pvp modes and cornered themselves, it was impossible to balance skills for AB, jade quarry, HA and RA
and with guild wars 2 they just flat out made pvp shit from the get go so nobody played it
They need to reenable those arenas and scale the players' stats down to those of a character at the arena's level cap.
>reenable those arenas and scale the players' stats down
nah, it's too much to balance
max armor, perfect weaps (40/40 and so on), available skills, and you already can't get population for RA which is one place where any lvl 20 char can play
I have played all expansions and even had legendary cartographer title on ma main mage hero (seriously - frick cartographer title form faction, it was stupidly difficult to get) but I lost my account years ago
should i get back? i played only as dps - should i return to playing mage or try something else? during my times dervish was most popular and looked fun but i heard that now ritualist is new meta
is farming obsidian armor even possible now when they changed opening obsidian duneon with title gains rather than pvp battles?
>seriously - frick cartographer title form faction, it was stupidly difficult to get)
Huh? Factions is the tiniest campaign, how can it be the most difficult?
You need to swap builds every instance
because even during my times factions battles were dead as shit and you needed to roll that one arena you could only roll when Luxons were winning that day and nobody wanted to play them to push border enough to roll that arena
also this
Will they make GW3? Really curious to see how it will look
I'm not really a GW2 player though, i did early game and realized this mmo was fricking dead with only the nolifers remaining, and I stopped
But technically the game is really good, the mechanics, the artstyle is quite literally perfect, the animations, looks very professional and high budget with the voice acting etc... very soulful MMO
Only thing i found shitty was the UI visual design in particular the HUD, especially the health bar, looks fricking shit and could be polished more with ornaments, frames etc...
>Will they make GW3?
they squandered every resource they had until NCsoft stepped in and cleaned house
What's the point? They could just make a new IP with zero whyte pipo
>Will they make GW3?
They can't program for shit, GW2 is still living off the mechanics laid out during development. Every new "feature" is pretty much a heavily edited copy of something already in the game, and after the layoffs from a couple of years ago there is no one left who even knows how the code looks like, much less how it works.
The last programmer to quit was a QA guy who got "promoted" when every other coder left and spent years doing a team's worth of development until he had a nervous breakdown and left the company.
The current one is some other promoted QA engineer who introduced a graphic setting to filter out some invasive vfx. Said filter didn't work on release and made party content almost impossible while not hiding the actually invasive vfx.
You could pay a dozen of pajeets to make GW3 and it would be a better product than anything nu-ArenaNet can make from scratch.
>Said filter didn't work on release
the Effect LoD toggle is still broken to this day and hides some really fricking important spell effects in PvP like the Harbinger shroud 5 big CC spell, nothing quite like getting floated for 3 seconds because you accidentally touched an invisible AoE.
>A bunch of skills where their power doubles against an entire specific species

Glorious.
thought you posted asura can in ur pic anon
Sometimes I wish GW1 could have continued to get updates and refinements over the years, but seeing the shambling horror that WoW has become I guess it's better that my favourite game of all time stays frozen circa 2012.
I started this quite some time ago and was told I was playing wrong for choosing monk even though I couldn't die. Do idiots play this game or something?
It's "bad" for PvE in the current year of full hero parties because you don't have a lot of direct control over a battle unless you go full damage dealing smite in which case why play Monk in the first place.
Overall, Monk is one of the core pillars of why Guild Wars was such a good game.
pvxwiki is worse now
aside from it looking worse which is also important most builds are like 3-4 skills and the rest are "optional" with each of the other slots having like 4-5 "options" each
why dont they just forget the skills, just list attributes and call it a day
apparently there's 1 autist admin who removes anything he disagrees with and fricked it up
Frick, no wonder a lot of the builds I liked in the past are missing. Why the frick did he remove Assassin's Promise ele nuker? It's a good fricking build.
>Why the frick did he remove Assassin's Promise ele nuker?
Because it's like literally every other assassin's promise build : it's not an ele build it's a PVE build
Frick PVE skills

Poor femsin getting hard mogged.
As a flat chest supremacist, female assassins are a treasure.
Do I buy the steam version, or from the website?
website is cheaper, doesn't matter where you get it for the game itself
brothers and sisters we are in the red.
