[PC] Guild Wars (+ Factions)

Ahh, I just got my copy last week and I've been playing it pretty much nonstop haha. I'm sure I'll calm down soon enough, but seeing as I'm still in Pre-Searing, I know there's a bunch more of the game left to see, not even counting the PvP and GvG stuff, which I hope to get into soon enough.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. I'm really looking forward to Factions as well, even though I haven't finished up with the main game yet either. I've been also following GuildWiki pretty closely to see what I should and shouldn't be doing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just made the jump to Searing today. Bah, it's a lot harder ^^; Of course, that's a good thing, I couldn't stick around in Pre-Searing all day. I found it interesting to see Level 2 characters making the jump so quickly, but I figure if you've done it before, you probably want to get to the main game quicker.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haha yeah, I'm glad that the whole game world isn't just Ascalon. As much as an apocalyptic wasteland makes for a good story, it wouldn't do justice to some of the awesome visuals I saw in Pre-Searing.

Sure, if anyone wants to hit me for some party work sometime, you can find me under "Kasumi Akino" for now. I went with the beginner friendly W/Mo. Just note that I'm still very newbie-ish to the game, so party at your own risk, haha.

Side note, recently, I was very worried when my copy of Guild Wars wouldn't run anymore and kept giving me Exception: 00000005 errors and was spouting stuff about being unable to read a memory address =/ After searching on the net, I found suggestions like upgrading drivers to messing with my BIOS o_O I re-installed GW and seems to work ok now, but I don't want to have to do this over and over. Anyone else have problems like this?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Looking good. I guess I'll have to get off my duff and pre-order Factions soon. I figure I'll buy the game anyway, so I might as well get it with all the cool bonuses they're offering.

Just slowly making my way through the game, hit the gates of Kryta yesterday although I failed the mission when I tried to do it with henchmen (the regular players weren't biting on my LFG requests).

I'm interested in looking for a guild now. I guess until we organize ourselves into a guild here (if that ever happens), what should I be looking for in a guild? There seem to be plenty of people shouting for people to join their guild, but it's hard to differentiate. But I figure since guilds are such an important part of the game, I should get on board soon enough.

Most amazing jew boots

I like how it made me have to do a quest all over, right after I finished ;___;

I succumbed and pre-ordered Factions. Looking forward to wasting more of my time when I'm not even done with the main game yet.

Ahh, to either actually enjoy my spring break weekend or spend locked up inside my room playing Factions.

Haha, it's a tough call.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've been pretty disenchanted with the guild system. The first one I was in was pretty much just a group of friends that I happened to fall into just because I partied with them one time. I left them pretty quickly.

I figured it would be more exciting than what I'm experiencing now. However, I'm only just now getting into PvP since I've finished the PvE campaign so I might actually be able to get into the GvG aspect of my guild.

But for other things, such as for being helpful, it's more dependent on how many people are on at a given time =/ More people = More chance someone has the answer.

For the longest time I didn't know how to call targets >_>

FELIPE NO

Well, I heard they delayed the release of the Collector's Edition anyway. It looks like I should still be able to enjoy the pre-release event since I got the Pre-Order disk but this the whole 10-day grace period makes me wary of investing too hard into a character that might get deleted if my Collector's Edition doesn't arrive in time >_>

My interest in GW has sadly died off. I think I just got busy with work/other games, but I figure a good injection of Factions should help me out.

And why does everyone not want a W/Mo? ;_; (I do know they're everywhere). I was working on a N/Me before I stopped playing in hopes of actually getting into some parties, haha. I want to try HoH, but I got stopped at Team Arenas.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wait, WTF.

I just got a mail from Gamestop saying that my copy would delayed. Where did you get yours?

Aww, I would so be in if you could spread characters among different guilds =/ Maybe after my inevitable kicking ^^;

After the 10-day grace period, if you have not added a Factions (retail) key to your account, you will not be able to create a 5th or 6th character. We will not delete your new characters, items, or skill unlocks after the 10-day grace period. However, you will need to add a Factions (retail) key to your account in order to play with any Canthan characters after the end of the Extended Head Start Event.

Phew! Looks like my hard work will be safe as I wait for Collector's to arrive. I'll have to take a break from Factions for a couple days, but nothing I can't handle. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to still sneak into Cantha with my original characters.

Interestingly though, I've found the game a bit easy to play with my A/Mo. With everyone pretty much playing an Assassin, it's been hard to find a party, so I usually end up going through with a bunch of henchies. I feel that you get to level 20 pretty damn quick though, since all the quests feel like giving you loads of xp (although some of them do deserve it =/ ). I haven't been trying to rush through the game, but I feel like one could just breeze by through it if they had a reasonable amount of skill.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In that case, then I feel like Factions does not merit its price tag. While I understand this is how NCSoft is going to make its money from the game, $50 for a quick expansion seems a bit much, especially if it only promises a few hours of gaming time.

But then again, GW was never really hyping its single player aspect, it's all about the multiplayer, so I understand the direction to go with a (seemingly) shorter storyline with Factions.

Heck, they had some of those insane mob quests on monastery island in any case. There are a few I haven't even thought of touching until I get up to 20.

How ya doing, buddy?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, I'll be away from my Guild Wars for that whole weekend. A shame.

They sure know how to schedule those events. Why must it interfere with me enjoying time away from the computer! Argh.

I was speaking idiomatically.
