How I hate you henchies... XD
I guess I'll get Nightfall sometime... But as mentioned comparing WoW and GW is pretty stupid. The simple reason is GW is a PvP-central game. Sure it has PvE, but the game is really more built for PvP... WoW is a PvE-central game, with PvP added. I prefer WoW myself, but that's I like to level up... xD

For being built for PvP, the Guild Wars team sure spends a lot of time on the story and landscapes
This is part of what I like about Guild Wars over other MMO's: if I want to PvP, I've got some great PvP. If I want to bust some monsters, there's plenty of that to go around, too. It has a large helping of both types of gameplay, which is important because I occasionally get on kicks of one or the other, and it's nice not having to switch games. |

I'm not saying GW has no story and stuff like that, I mean when it was made it was really designed to be PvP-focused. The story is there for people who dislike PvP , well that and the fact a game where you could only PvP sounds dreadfully dull...
GW has a nice PvE feel, I just dislike the fact you cap out at 20... Always such a low number. Then again, that's the cap in some other games I'm playing so... Eh...

i like the lvl 20 cap, it greatly reduces the lvling race found in nearly all other mmorpg's and allows one to be able to leave and come back to the game any time they wish to, but the game only really begins wen u hit 20....then u still got most of the campaign left to do e.g the normal skills to aqquire and those elite skills too for the combat stuff, and personally i like the gw plot, they seem more belieavable and dark and the heavy use of instancing really helps to deliver an engrossing story line aswell as make use for npc's for roles other then the static shop/quest/bs role. The main thing i like about gw however is that its core gameplay, thats fighting mobs or other players is far more interesting then all other mmorpg's ive tried, but it also has difficult instances geared for group play as well [making those instances even more interesting to run then they would b if it wer a conventional mmorpg] but thats just my opinion

I love the level cap. The main thing that kept me away from MMO's was that someone who sucks but has been playing every day for years will kill you regardless of how skilled you may be. I'd rather be rewarded for ability than hours sunk into it. |

Where do you farm?
In prophecies, I often frequent the dwarf camp and HoH Since I just got factions, I have yet to finish the campaign and find some good farming spots. Nightfall I typically check out the Kodash Bazaar, and for some challange, the Domain of Anguish. BUT, you have to complete the campaign before you can check out the Domain of Anguish since it's for elite players.

Im still a long time player with all the campaigns. Honestly: Dont get this game if your coming in as a newb. The PvP community is starting to grow older and older, more and more elitist. Their are alot of guilds out their that have zero noob tolerance. You will be spat on by your teamates if you enter a PvP match with the default skills your proffesion comes with ( Literally. They will likely report you for leeching, which automatically dings your account and bans you from entering again for 10 minutes )
If you must, just be sure to PvE alot before entering PvP. You might slip by...but im just telling any prospective newbies out their that things are getting harsher every day. My in game name is: "Blacker Lotus" Im pretty willing to help but as an additional warning Im actually a member of whats currently considered by those in PvP to be the "most hated guild" in the entire game. You might not want to affiliate yourself with me...lol...:P |

HoH is nigh impossible to break into. No one who knows what they're doing will let you on their team unless you're r3 or above, so you basically have to slog at TA and RA for your Gladiator track - praying you don't end up with idiots all the way, which almost invariably happens because all of the decent players are over at HoH. *Le Sigh*
I've been trying to get into HA for a while now, but no one can accept that I might know what I'm doing even without a Gladiator rank yet. After all, "noob" is not a title track - it is a state of mind. |

Tip: Its very easy to sneak into High ranked teams. Half the time they dont even demand your title if the first thing you say when you join is "Give me my bar", because that shows that you just want to hurry up just like them ( It often takes 20+ minutes to set up a good team ). Its kind of an art though, just keep trying. Eventually you will find a way that suits you that makes it seem casual.
Also, only bad players rely on rank. Good players know whos good and whos not and keep each other on their friends list. I got started as an R0 by getting into an R9 team through my guild. I played well, and ever since then I get random PM's asking me to Ha with them. Thats how it really works. In my case, I keep my terrifying glad title on. No one questions me. Im not in [KING]. Think worse. ( Im in "I swear she was 18" [GWEN], which is the same guild as "Kinetic Fusion [Kf]" and "The dunedian still live" [SYKO]. Technically I am in all three of those guilds. We constantly rejoin and switch between the three depending on what we are doing. ) Last edited by Edgewalker; 2007-10-29 at 14:13. |
