A Hopeless Guild Wars Addict

[mattpraisner]

Hey, I'm Matt. I'm a buddy of Nokrev's, and I'm a hopeless Guild Wars addict, as the title implies. Anyone else in the same boat? My IGN is "Matt Jenkins". Give me a holler in-game, I'm playing most of the time. I have (just on that character):

Fissure of Woe Armor
a little under 2.1 million experience
Rank 3 (eww)
924 hours just on that character, but 1,379 over the account

But I need help getting more titles (both protectors and some explorer) and I'd like a partner (or more) to come along. Anyone interested?

[Vexir]

Hah, how could you possibly get addicted to GW when theres WoW? Obviously haven't played WoW at all or enough, because it blows any MMORPG out of the water.

Too much grind :td:
Not oriented enough toward PvP:td:

Guild Wars you can hit max level in about 15 hours of play (with very good help):thumb2:

Constant global tournament :thumb2:

And of course, just throwing away your life, not your money AND your life :thumb2:

Graphics that are about 10 times better than WoW :thumb2:

Oooh. He's got a point. WoW is pretty commercialized while Guild Wars is friendly and down to earth :D

Okay, obviously you know NOTHING about WoW, because if you did you wouldn't play GW.

----------------------------------------------------------
a) there are THOUSANDS of quests in WoW, only the Korean farmers do all grind.

b) Not oriented towards PVP? You obviously know nothing about WoW, there are battlegrounds which are insanely fun and people are always in there. You can actually FIGHT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, the entire thing isn't a friggen instance like Guild Wars, theres actually a concept of a world. In guild wars, theres no element of just running into the opposing faction and having an all out duel with them, world pvp just doesnt exist in GW, and thats why WoW has like 6.5 million subscribers where as GW has nowhere near that amount.

c) Max level in about 15 hours? What the hell is the fun in that? In WoW, half the game is leveling, half the game is end-game content.

d) Constant tournament? What do you think the PvP rankings on WoW are? Each realm has ranks, each faction has ranks.

e) Money and life? Heck, its worth the $15 just NOT to play GW.

f) Since when have graphics made a game good? I don't see the 5 million people who play WoW and not GW complain about the graphics, besides, in large world raids or dungeons like 40-mans, higher graphics would just make the enormous places in WoW lag, unless you had a really high end system.

g) WoW is commercialized? GW friendly and down to earth? Yeah, WoW isn't friendly at all, thats why people of ALL age ranges play it, not just addicted teens and adult gamer nerds. I've seen whole families play WoW, not through addiction, just because its friendly fun and still a bit competitive. GW isnt friendly to all, its clearly mature themed, you can just tell by the skimply dressed girl on the cover.

--------------------------------------------

WoW > GW. Face it.

I agree that the PvE portion of WoW is much more entertaining. But the PvP in Guild Wars, 8v8, 4v4, 12v12, takes much more strategy. You get eight skills, and 200 att points. The game is based around the PvP, and the PvE is more for the unlocking. The "giant instance" idea is something I don't particularly care for, but it makes it more accessible for the casual gamer. As for the alliance battles, those are in GW too. Kind of of GWified. There is a frontline that shifts based on outcomes of battles between the opposing forces, etc. As for dueling, you can invite someone to duel anytime. Also, the tournament I spoke of earlier is global, with a "championship" every 6 minutes, which, if a certain country wins 5 consecutive, they take the favor of the gods, opening up higher level areas to all players in that territory. Your guild, with enough standing with your allied side, can even own the capital city of that faction.

But enough of arguing. Does anyone other than me play? Or am I alone in the midst of tons of WoW fans?

[Vexir]

How can a game even be CALLED an MMORPG if theres no WORLD?!!?

PvP in WoW is excellent! Warsong Gulch, its pretty much CTF with a cap of 10 vs 10 players.

Arathi Basin is collect the bases and collect resources, you get 15 vs 15.

Alterac Valley? 40 vs 40 :thumb: Kind of hard to explain, these can go on for HOURS, like 8 hours, people keep coming in and out, its insane fun. Loads of honor too :)

PvP rewards also keep people pvping, PvE is i'd say about what half of the 60s in WoW do. And when theres no 40 man PvE raid there all in the BG's or world pvping, going in huge fun groups and raiding opposing towns and cities.

WoW isnt BASED around any one aspect of MMORPG's, it excels in everything and so everyone has a different niche. Its very accessible and very friendly.

I still don't see how that can be a viable argument, no world pvp but its a game based around pvp?

Edit:// And no, because every MMORPG player who knows what hes talking about plays WoW or some golden oldie MMORPG. :thumb:

(Dev and Skinny feel free to add :P)

I think you pretty much got it but a few things. The items in WoW straight up own the items in GW in looks and mass. There are so many end game items to get. They are constantly updating more armor sets, new weapons sets ect. Now with the expansion they're adding Socketed weapons! Now don't tell me you didn't spend 400+ hours in Diablo II just trying out different Socket combinations with armor and weapons? Some of the things you can get in WoW are just beautiful. Just take a look at the Netherwind armor set for Priests.

http://www.wow-europe.com/shared/wow-com/images/underdev/patch1p9/main/ss17.jpg

How many items are there in Guildwars? How many races? Classes? How many hours of fun? I agree with Vex... 15 hours to get top level? Almost all the fun in WoW is leveling up and watching your character grow. Took me about 4 months to get my 60 and I actually loved every minute of it. Now that he's at 60, I'm sort of bored with him just because all there is left to do is PvP and End-Game instances. WoW is WELL worth $15 a month to play. I wouldn't play an MMORPG that doesn't cost monthly because theres not going to be much to it and the updates won't be as frequent.

[Vexir]

Well spoken, but forget Netherwind, NEMESIS!! Still the coolest looking set around, especially the spaulders :drool:

Man I miss WoW so much, but playing it junior and senior year would just destroy my future :P Vexir, coming back to WoW, summer 2008!

http://www.wow-europe.com/shared/wow-com/images/underdev/patch1p9/main/ss21.jpg

Edit:// Hm, thats cool, they put an infernal in the background that I didn't notice on my old monitor.

[DevDreamer]

I played WoW all through my senior year... didn't affect me one bit! (Actually... my GPA DID drop .2... but oh well!)

[Vexir]

What was your GPA the rest of high school?

For me, I can see a pattern in which WoW = severe drop.

Freshmen year = 4.0
Sophmore year (started WoW in september, when school started) = 3.2

:(

I can only try and make up in my junior and senior years.

[thoriphes]

I used to play guild wars religiously as well when it first came out. reason? my friend gave this this 10-day trial called world of warcraft of which i played maybe 7 straight days equivalent. from then i was hooked on mmo's, but unfortunately I didn't want to pay the $15/mo at the time. GW didn't really do that much to me as WoW did. It was fun at the time because it was summer with nothing else to do. GW eventually gets boring and repetitive. PvP is fun but aggravating because nobody will let you in HoH, etc groups unless you're of some rank, or you've got a character with some special cheap-trick build (ie IWAY or spikers). I had a necro/mesmer build a while back that completely rocked pvp with hexes, but people complained that it was too cheap, so the powers that be "nerfed" the spells. In a sense, I was a one-man army that got his gun taken away.

I must say though, the pets are really cute. I have this mini shaman.

At some point I think I'll just invest in the 60-day WoW cards from time to time.

But anyway, Guildwars again! :ub:

(Dev and Skinny feel free to add :P)

WoW = da bomb. You've covered the rest :P

[Theros]

lol.... This forum really is a haven for WoW Addicts :p.... Does anyone else actually play any non-fantasy MMO? Other then Lineage 2 or Everquest 2? Maybe Auto Assualt, or City of Heroes/Villians, Eve Online, Anarchy Online, Matrix Online? Ugh, way too many Fantasy MMOs

[Vexir]

I heard Auto Assault was pretty good..

[DevDreamer]

I used to play MxO religiously during beta testing. Then when the actual game came out it was almost an entirely new game! They totally changed the XP system and some of the fight system. So after about 3 months of play I switched to WoW.

[hsadan]

heya,

I used to be a GW Addict too :D Played it day in day out for almost the whole of last summer. The addiction died when school work came pouring in once the fall semester started :(.

I still love the game, and even pre-ordered Factions, though I've yet to get into that one.

I never got FoW armor, though. Have enough to get standard 15k armor for 1 of my characters and almost for another character, but I tell you the truth: Factions/Canthan Armor looks much better than 15k or FoW armor.

[waseem]

is GW free?

[Templarian]

^Everything but the actual game. MMO freeness is what makes it different.

Hmm... you should be playing WoW if you have the free time.

[Vexir]

15 a month isnt that bad you know, I dont have a job and I don't notice it go ;)

[Templarian]

Just think of it as one week without gas money. I ended my subscription because of me being to lazy to play.

Just get a Hybrid :shifty:

[simplistik]

I like both of them GW and WoW. Personally though WoW has more PvE content which is nice... but GW has some real nice PvP. In GW I can grind/powerlevel someone to 15 in about 9hrs. assuming I can get a good runner to where we need to be. WoW is starting to show it's age to me though. I'm waiting for that next break through MMO though.

CoH was pretty nice... but lost it's luster to quick w/ weak terrain and repeatitive textures... but my SG would always pl ppl, 2 days to 60 :D :thumb2: they tried to do something with thos Khelidians or whatever they're called... but they were piss poor weak.

[Vexir]

How is WoW showing its age? Its only 1.5 years old, the expansion isn't even out yet!

[simplistik]

It's just not as graphically great as GW. Especially after the enhancements that Factions brought to GW (yes I have Factions too). Don't get me wrong WoW is a great game... with quite a bit more depth than than GW. But as far as graphics GW has a much richer presentation. And don't go tryin to tell me I haven't gotten into WoW cause I've been there and done that with both games. Or try to give me reviews from gaming sites when WoW came out everyone said it had stellar graphics and same w/ GW, both are dated. Pair the two up now though and to me GW looks better. And I've played both equally and love both, so my opinions are pretty objective... if for some reason you thought they weren't.

I'm anxious to see what the expansion brings to WoW. But even though I'll buy it still... prolly have little to no time to play it as always. Would be nice to get a few new classes in there... I saw they had a new profession.

[Theros]

Has anyone played Auto Assualt (As in signed up for it?) or one of those newer MMOs, like D&D or RFOnline? Any good/bad reviews?

[Vexir]

And why Simp, do graphics matter? Its the game that counts.

[Theros]

not really.. I rather play HL2 over lets say Rise of Nations now becuase HL2 IMO with its graphics are just soo much more involved then a run of the mill RTS

[simplistik]

RFonline is horrible! not sure about D&D.


And why Simp, do graphics matter? Its the game that counts.
I don't get it? You asked me how it was showing it's age... so I told you how it was showing it's age. Never once did I take anything away from the gameplay, unless of course one of us has dyslexia.

[Vexir]

No but I was saying graphics aren't the only thing you can define a games age by. WoW is miles ahead of other MMORPG's in its game system and how it handles standard RPG play.

[DevDreamer]

No but I was saying graphics aren't the only thing you can define a games age by. WoW is miles ahead of other MMORPG's in its game system and how it handles standard RPG play.

Thats true. I used to play Ultima Online for 8 years before trying out MxO and then heading to WoW... The graphics in Ultima Online were horrible :lol:

[SlowRoasted]

Flying mounts looks pretty sweet for the WoW expansion. I do wish they would have added another class along with the new races.

[I am the Noah]

I wish people would stick with their own opinions and not argue over which is better :P WoW is a MMORPG (I wish i had it, but im poor) and GW is a OPRG... i have gw, and im addicted to it, but if i had WoW im sure i would invest equal time into it, because both games are great at what they do! :D

[Vexir]

Yep, they're both great at addicting poor defenseless video game junkies :thumb:

[BS]

Rise of Nations

[Vexir]

:h:

[Theros]

Rise of Nations was one of the BEST RTS' created in all time!

[Vexir]

You obviously never played WCIII or Starcraft.

Blizzard > you.

[SlowRoasted]

Yeah, can't beat blizz games. Though they make you wait forever for them they are the best.

[Vexir]

Although 4 years doesn't seem too bad for a game the size of WoW's.

[Skinny_T]

true, but they've been planning the expansion since close to the launch of WoW, and look how long that's taking!

[Theros]

un uh, WC3 sucks in comparison to RON... Seriously go check it out... It was voted best RTS of the year I think back in 2004-2005...

[Vexir]

lol, its really old

[Theros]

WC3 Is really old too lol.... I have both of em including Starcraft :P... Trust me on that one, I'm a RTS Buff... I used to play all of the old C&C with Tiberan Sun, and Red Alert hehe. Those were the good old days

[Skinny_T]

I think the only RTS I got into was Starcraft. 64 version FTW!!!

[Counterproductive]

Starcraft is over a decade old and is still the best rts IMO.
I played Mankind a while ago (mmog rts) and it was one big lame cold war,
no story line or any AI, everything is entirely player driven.

I played EB which is now gone and eve online which is a great game
but I just don't have the time to dedicate to a game like that right now.

[Seb Hughes]

Wow is the shizzle. It took 4.5 years to make cant wait for the expanstion. Im lvl 24 its taken me over 3 ays to get therte playing time. Also it has many server normal pvp etc. And you cna turn pvp on when you want. I love killing horders hehehe. WOW ROCKS MAN

[DevDreamer]

Starcraft is over a decade old and is still the best rts IMO.


Hell yea it is. I also played the old Command & Conquers a lot as well.

Has anyone noticed that this thread went from Guildwars, to Guildwars vs. WoW, to WoW, to other random MMO's, and now to RTS's? :lol:

[Theros]

Keep it going! RTS' geeks unite! :D

[DevDreamer]

Wouldn't it be sweet if they made an MMORTS? :lol:

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it... didn't they?

[Yakuza]

Warhammer 40K DOW is da l337!!!

Well, if only talking about skirmish wars, DOW is better than WC3. I'm not really like WC3 normal skirmish since you can't spam unit. DOW in normal skirmish just rocks.

The only downside for DOW is the short campaign...10levels...I finished in 2 days...lol

[hsadan]

feeble attempt to get it back on track..
Did anyone give the Nightfall PvP weekend a try? I missed it.. :(, but Nightfall is looking pretty sweet! And looks like finally more insight into the Elonians!

[Coolio]

i can see the point in everyone loving WoW , but i think endgame is boring ...
too few instances , which is all you can do if you aren't going for rank14 pvp which takes all your mortal lifetime away.

i did play wow, but i stopped, it got boring...
im back on my old FFXI char Paulie, and enjoying it a lot more :)

it's older, not as many play it as people plays wow. but the community is a lot better, and endgame pwns wow endgame, also the fact your 1 character can be everything he wants to be... if i wanna be the blackmage kicking *** from the sideline, fine i lvl black mage, if i wanna be upfront as warrior or dark knight, i go do that... it's more fun, in wow, i'd have to have several characters to do that. Besides, leveling isn't a challenge in wow, and crafting sure as hell is easy, and ya' don't really get any gd things out of it, except a few good equips. and where FFXI only has slim pvp options, it doesn't matter. Cause the endgame content is huge compared to wow. And with ToAU ( Treasures of Aht Urghan ) expansion pack, it adds up even more, and more lovely jobs to lvl, just my 2 cents on the mmorpg life

[thoriphes]

I started playing guild wars back when it first came out. it was a rebellious move on my part because a friend was trying to coerce me into playing WoW. I didn't have the time or money to waste my life living an artificial one. It is true, Guild Wars is nice for a quick PvP match or two. The nice thing about the game was that you can create a full-leveled PvP-only character from the beginning without having to level and all that other nonsense. Problem is, to be the least bit effective you will have had to unlock items and skills, which requires playing the relatively short campaign. Attach a storyline and you have somewhat of a complete game. Been playing since then (summer of '05).

...now that I have a job I have both time and money so I picked up WoW, "just to try it out". I don't know what struck me first about the game; whether it was the diversity or massiveness of the game, it enthralled me. The game rewards well for the amount of time you put into it and never seems to stop. There's always something good to look forward to regardless of level. You might complain that Guild Wars was geared more towards PvP and that is what WoW lacked in that respect...at any time you can engage in a friendly PvP by simply dueling someone. There are no reprecussions and you don't actually die. It's just sheer fun. Guild Wars you die and your stats go down 15% per time (within that match). It's really easy to completely obliterate a group in PvP in GW without giving them a chance. Trust me, I've seen some really bad groups. Also since the variety of skills and such is so confined in GW, you lose out on strategy and focus more on cheaptricks. What I hated the most about GW PVP was that groups that employed players like "spikers" or IWAY warriors or frag mesmers usually got the best out of a match, and that's all you'd see. What's worse, trying to get into a group is becoming impossible nowadays. Back in the day, being rank 3 got you in pretty much most of the time. Now it's getting harder and harder because groups are requiring ranks 5, 6, 8...not to mention specific builds. This is really why I stopped playing. Players were cheap and it just wasn't fun anymore. I didn't care about armor because it only looked marginally better than the regular armor. A 15k set would look almost exactly like a 1.5k set. The one cool looking sword (forget what it's called but looks like Tidus's sword in FFX) was damn near impossible to get. There just wasn't that great a reward towards effort.

Here's my summary having played both games:

Guild Wars is more of a sport (with somewhat of a plot, but come on, it sucks).

WoW is more of game that contains elements of GW, though the plot isn't something you really pay attention to all that much; it's just too big.

Well Vex. After getting two more items of Bloodfang (now have Boots, Gloves and Hood) I decided to make a lock :pleased:

And (to the post a couple above). I was going to try out FFXI with the purchase of my 360. But decided against it...

[Vexir]

Pft. You better be devoted to being a lock, otherwise you're going to suck. There are so few good warlocks out there, its because we're the second most unpopular class under priests, yet we completely own in PvP :P So everyone rolls a warlock and then suck at it because its their alt.

Sigh... I miss WoW :(

[Vexir]

Warlocks own :) I have 3 :thumb:

[B L U E]

Locks and mages are steamrolling everyone in the 1.12 PTR. Then again, it seems like 80% are either a mage or lock. Its fun though, the cross-server bgs are awesome.

[Vexir]

Looks like things have changed. I left before the mage patch :P

[Skinny_T]

Come back to us Vexir!

[Vexir]

I can't, because its my junior year. I'll come back to thee my love in a year or two :P And I'll buy 2gb RAM to boot.

We're just having some good old WoW reminicising and some GW bashing fun :)

Fine! We didn't want you back anyway!:upset:

[Vexir]

:diss: *sniff*

[DevDreamer]

Heh, I decided against the Lock and just figured I should finish off 60-ing my priest... He's already level 44 and my guild would love me forever :love:

[Vexir]

Wise choice. Priests are also among the few classes that can hold up to a lock in a fight.

[Theros]

Ugh, can we ever stop being WoW addicts? Maybe I should start a WoW therapy thread :krazy:

[SlowRoasted]

I quit WoW right before the 1.11 patch went live. I got rid of my level 60 mage with full tier two (Netherwind), AQ40 drops and 5 Nefarian drops. :P

1. Its free :P

and thats pretty much why it owns :P ...

[Vexir]

Yes, very funny. I daresay I can call you more than an idiot, but I will refrain.

Guildwars is free too, which is rather what this thread was about before us WoW lovers took it over :P

Runescape, is nothing more than a poorly crafted 3d java applet based game designed to attract the attention of 5 year olds and younger. My 7 year old nephew has moved on. NEOPETS is more fun than Runescape.

You know the only good part about Runescape? The name is rather cool. Not better than World of Warcraft, but a decent name nonetheless.

Some people just work at a different speed then everyone else.

[Anogar]

See, IceHawk, you're a complete WoW noob. You don't have a single character that my old mage (when I used to play) could one-shot without blinking. In fact, if you got every single one of your characters together, I could 1 shot you all at the same time. Some of us are competitive individuals. You can't be competitive in WoW without investing unhealthy amounts of time - which is why I don't play anymore.

[Vexir]

o right level 30 pally on draka
lvl 31 shawman on greymain
5 lvl 20-25 on greymain
lvl 13 rogue azsahra

1. You have no right to talk if you don't have a 60. People who keep giving up and don't have enough balls to stick it out till 60 and keep rolling new characters need to be shot. :P

2. If you played WoW the way we do, you'd realise there is nothing else in life. Its either, you play WoW, or, you do other things. There is no middle ground. There is no grey area.

Thats true. Once you get a 60 you'll HAVE to dedicate more time than 2 hours a day, considering a FAST MC run can last around 5 hours (atleast thats my guilds fastest time).

[Vexir]

What the hell... 5 hours?! Join a better guild, we do it in 2.5-3 depending on how many new people we bring on..

[Theros]

Jeeez, this is the reason why MMOs eat up your time!

:P And I loved it.


DAMNINITTTT I WANT TO GO BAACCCKCKK. I'll see. If I have enough time over the year since my schedule is so messed up.

[Theros]

Pffft, my grades would instantly drop like a brick from a 100 story building if I played MMOs during the year

What the hell... 5 hours?! Join a better guild, we do it in 2.5-3 depending on how many new people we bring on..

Different servers have different times :tired:

And way to ruin the point I was trying to make :lol:

1. You have no right to talk if you don't have a 60. People who keep giving up and don't have enough balls to stick it out till 60 and keep rolling new characters need to be shot.

2. If you played WoW the way we do, you'd realise there is nothing else in life. Its either, you play WoW, or, you do other things. There is no middle ground. There is no grey area.

SO true.. I took a 10 month holiday, joined a hardcore guild and played WoW for 6 months around 10-20hrs/day. So glad I broke my addiction though. So many better things in life.. Though my Warrior with tier1 epic set and lvl60 priest might just make a comeback for the expansion :cool:

Gotta stop playing Big Brain Academy on my DS now :thumb2: !!!!

[Skinny_T]

Woot leveling a warrior now. lvl 29 in 2days 3hours play time /flex

[SlowRoasted]

Dude, 5 hour mc run? You gotta be kidding me. How can you get 40 people to all devote 5 hours of their time like that?

[DevDreamer]

No I'm not kidding you.

Although saved instances are nice. That way we can cut it short and kick it up again the next day.

Oh yea! 1.12 came out today! :love:

[Skinny_T]

omg how about that lag on the first day!? It was crazy!!! It seems to have calmed down now though.

Battlegroup 7 ftw!

The whole cross-realm BGs seem to mess BG up as a whole. The lag was horrible yesterday.

[Skinny_T]

Ya, AV still lags sometimes. The only good thing about the lag though is Drek gets bugged and you can kill him outside

:lol:

you noticed that too?

The BG's don't really lag for me though. One thing I didn't like about the new patch is the World PvP... Its just so back and forth, ya know? Theres no real winner.

[hsadan]

ok, is this thread still about guild wars? because I have no idea what the last few posts are talking about (and I am a rather big GW fan). :pa:

[B L U E]

SANDLOL

theyre about the superior game called world of warcraft:)

[hsadan]

oh, now let's not get started on which is the superior game. :sigh:

ok maybe just a little.

I agree WoW is bigger and maybe slightly better overall (note: I've never played it), but you have to admit that only grinders survive in that game.

Guild Wars, on the other hand, I can play at my own time (since you know there are more important things in life) and I don't have to worry about not playing enough for that month (no monthly fees ftw ;))

Just drop it now... Lets not get into this debate again... Vexir will eat you.

[Skinny_T]

then spit you out and eat you again
