Game: Guild Wars!

[LaZie]

Did anybody get Factions? I, unfortunately, am too poor to afford it :p

[Augury]

I agree with BoC, starting with an Ele would probably be easier. If you insist on playing a warrior, I recommend War/Ele if you plan on eventually moving into PvP. If it's just for PvE then W/R or W/Mo are okay - a Necro subclass could work too but tends to be inferior for healing. Warriors have a tough time supporting a mesmer secondary because of energy limitations.

[Assassin]

well i've already picked W/Mo, so its too late for that now. But my next char will be Elementalist once i get the hang of the game.


So if you need a little spare change I can give you some...I still have over 600k sitting in storage that'll probably never get touched

send that 600k my way, i'll gladly spend it on your behalf :cool:

Btw, i go by Estus Soulcrusher for those who still play.

ps: seriously, gimme that 600k if you're not gonna use it. theres plenty of weapons i need to buy.

dont bother buying weapons they are all crap. all the good weapons are drops. the only thing you really need money for is armor.

also is there anyone else who is tired of guild wars and stopped playing completely? it seems like everyone i know is selling their accounts.

Forget "campaign 3." The next chapter in the Guild Wars franchise now has a name: Nightfall. Like Guild Wars Factions, Nightfall is a stand-alone chapter in the Guild Wars online role-plaing saga and it will introduce a new continent to explore, new gameplay features to experience, and two new professions to play with. We got our first glimpse of Nightfall during the Electronic Entertainment Expo and learned that this chapter is set in a North Africa-like setting, with sun-drenched coastlines and dry, desert interiors.

Like the original Guild Wars and Factions, Nightfall follows ArenaNet's interesting pricing model. You'll purchase Nightfall like you would a regular game, but it won't require any monthly subscription to play online. And you won't require any of the previous Guild Wars games to play Nightfall, though if you do own them, you'll be able to transfer your existing characters about the ever-growing Guild Wars world.

Nightfall has actually begun its beta test, and ArenaNet plans to hold an "open house" for current Guild Wars players between July 28 and 30. You'll be able to check out this new chapter yourself, as well as create characters based on the two new professions in Nightfall. And without further delay, we have the details on what you'll be able to play as. If ArenaNet sticks to its six-month publishing schedule for chapters, then we should see Nightfall ship later this year.

The Paragon
The paragon isn't meant to be a frontline fighter. Instead, the paragon is best suited in a support role as a battle commander, capable of supporting teammates by throwing spears and using verbal chants and shouts that can boost the fighting abilities of those nearby. And the paragon's angelic nature isn't just aesthetic, as this profession's presence can help teammates resist hexes and other curses.

It's easy to identify paragons on the battlefield, thanks to their angelic look. Even the paragon's armor is saintly in appearance, thanks to the incorporation of ivory and mother of pearl in its materials. And if that weren't enough, a paragon's metal armor usually has the form of wings engraved in it. It's no wonder that the Elonians in the game believe that paragons are guardian angels sent by the gods to serve as champions for the people.

The Dervish
If the paragon is best while standing back from a fight, the dervish is at home in the heart of one. These holy warriors are capable of striking at multiple targets simultaneously with their wicked scythes. Of course, they're armed with a whirling, spinning attack that's perfect for when in the middle of a bunch of foes. Dervishes can also cast spells on themselves that aid in their assault, and the profession has various healing and protection abilities as well. The profession's most powerful ability, however, is to temporarily transform into the physical embodiment of a god.

Since the profession is part warrior and part priest, dervishes are clad in robes rather than armor. Protection comes mainly from the dervish's agility in battle, as well as the various protection enhancements and spells. In addition to the robe, dervishes are equipped with bracers on their arms, and they're constantly hooded to show their humility to their gods.

Bah, I haven't even gotten Factions yet!

For those of you considering getting GW, there are quite a few of us that still play on a regular basis. We've started going to Fissure of Woe and the Underworld several times a week, and are making quite a tidy profit. I've had this game for over a year now, and I'm still just as addicted. I have also gotten two mini-pets so far: a jungle troll and siege turtle. My third should be arriving this month. If anyone wants to buy my jungle troll, I'll sell him for 40k :D

[sairane]

i just started playing Guild Wars a few days ago and now have a level 7 elementalist/menser... and im finding it pretty fun ^_^

is a huge change from WoW though :p

Kuunavang > All

Hurry up and get Factions! :p

[Yukimura]

@sairane Good to hear you're getting into GW, watch out for KitKat or she'll recruit you into our Guild.

Also a general warning, don't buy KitKat's pet! It makes an insane amount of noise and is quite irritating!

[DO]

Overall Guild Wars was a pretty good game until that one faithful day they decided to nerf warrirors.

[Board of Command]

It went downhill for me when they nerfed ranger spirits. I was unstoppable with my random arena quickshot build.

hehe i'll be in need of a guild when i buy my own account, currently using my bf's just to get a feel for the game and decide whether i like it or not ^^

And its allways nice to have people you know in a mmorpg, even if only slightly :p

[KitKat]

For those of you that have Factions, this weekend is elite weekend. You can do all the elite missions and there will be DOUBLE the rare drops on those missions! So, go get some cool stuff!

[masamuneehs]

so there's this thing on the IGN boards saying Intel graphics cards might not be able to play this game.

I have a Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset for my graphics card...the laptop is the Inspiron 6000. Will that be good enough, or are they just not compatable. IGN made it sound like sometimes it might work, but that i'd crash alot...

and now i'm told that Factions means I can't play with people who have the original?


this sounds like an awful lot of bullshit to get through... this really worth it?

edit to all- thanks alot to everyone who has been talking me through this. However it seems like this is too much trouble, and it's a sign from a higher power (Intel) that I am simply not meant to play Guild Wars :(

[Yukimura]

Integrated graphichs should never be used to play any computer game...especially not somehting like Guild Wars which is quite detailed. I would say get bothe Guild WArs and a new computer to play it on!

[ChaosK]

I finally logged on after 3-5 months of inactivity and met nobody except kitkat who almost died as far as I know, and Yuki who was...not even there...or was he? I have no idea because he was hiding.

@ Masa.. I just googled your graphics card and found this list of game compatibilities.

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915gm/sb/CS-020153.htm

It lists Guild wars as yellow:
Yellow = Game operates with minor issues or workarounds


# Game sometimes crashes during play
# Game crashes sometimes occur when using inventory
# Blue screen or Stop error may be seen with ialmdd5.dll file
That seems like too much hassle for this game; however, it tells you to download the latest driver to correct this "issue"

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=1862&OSFullname=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go%21

I wouldn't be too sure on how it works out but supposedly, that'll fix the above.

[eat_toast]

Hey! I'm on this game as well: Whisper Mulam Xem(Ranger 20) or Ahnuld Shwazanegga(I think that's right)(Warrior 8) If you want someone to party with!

Cannot wait for Nightfall!

[KitKat]

Right on! Always nice to see more people on Guild Wars. Nightfall looks pretty sweet. Hopefully I'll be employed within a month, and then I'll be able to buy both Factions and Nightfall when it comes out. Feel free to add me to your friends list. My character name is Arzu Ashurbeyli.

[eat_toast]

Speaking of Nightfall, I found a link to a new in-game cinematic that shows some of the new cities, mobs, and some action from the new classes! Here (http://www.guildwars.com/gallery/video/) is the link, it should be the first video on the page.

[AngelEyez]

Have you always wanted a minipet? But didn't want to wait a year til your characters hits it's first birthday or alternatively buy one off another player?

Rumour has it that PC Gamer magazine will be issuing out a code in November for an exclusive minipet!

Oh well in November my character will be one years old!

ArenaNet and NCsoft Announce October 27 as Global Release Date for Guild Wars Nightfall

Box Art Debuted and Premium Items Announced for Collector's Edition

The news was announced today from the Guild Wars FactionsTM World Championship in Leipzig, Germany.

In this third Guild Wars campaign, players must fight to hold back the night as a mad ruler attempts to free an outcast god and bring darkness to the continent of Elona. But players won't fight alone. Guild Wars Nightfall introduces new customizable Heroes who level up, follow player instructions in combat, and use skills and equipment of the player's choosing. These Heroes will follow the player through savage coasts, ancient monuments, and poisonous deserts during an epic story that spans twenty missions and hundreds of quests. And for the ultimate one-on-one challenge, competitive players can choose to enter the new Hero vs. Hero Battles, where they group with a custom team of Heroes and fight against other players from around the world and their customized groups of Heroes.

Guild Wars Nightfall will be available in both Standard and Collector's Editions. The highly-coveted, limited run, Collector's Edition will include the Guild Wars Nightfall game as well as a Making of Guild Wars Nightfall behind-the-scenes DVD, a collector's art book, collectible skill pins, a character mini-standee, a poster-sized map of Elona, the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD, and more.

Guild Wars, an instant bestseller worldwide upon its release in April 2005, and Guild Wars Factions, the number one game in both North America and Europe earlier this year, are global online roleplaying games. Guild Wars Nightfall continues the tradition of inviting players to immerse themselves in an epic storyline centered in a vibrant fantasy setting. Eager fans can get the Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack in stores on September 15, and the Guild Wars Nightfall Standard Edition and Guild Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition on October 27, 2006.

[KitKat]

Only a few days left till Nightfall comes out! I'm soooo excited! My housemates pre-ordered me the Collector's Edition for my birthday, so I'm looking forward to checking out all the little extras. I'm already planning out what characters I'm going to make, and I'm pretty stoked to find out what new skills they'll have for my existing characters ^_^

[Deadfire]

Nice, I'm going to try to shoot into getting the special edition version of Nightfall. It should help my renewed interest in the game. as a testament Kitkat gave me the idea to load it on my laptop

Yes... as you can see I have to be a very serious GW addict when I'm waiting this long.

Three things:
1. Where is that place?
2. Were you running it in window mode?
3. ...Either way that's a reeeeeally long time.

[KitKat]

Hey Guild Wars players! Any of you have a mini pig from last year's Canthan new year festival that they'd like to donate to me, or sell at a moderate price? I'm not really rich so I can't offer a lot, but I could trade you for another mini pet. I need 4 mini pigs, so I can get a sparkly one.

[Sapphire]

Oh my God! You are still playing this? I would give you my account but now I want to play again.. @__@

[KitKat]

Haha, you should totally come play! I play nearly every day >_>
