PvE: Solo Artist, Quester, Chest Runner, Groupie or Explorer. Where do you Fit in?

I normally do PvP (HA to be exact) nowadays.. so

PvP dude. or whatever

uh wheres the option for PLAYER? i dont think anyone does ONE thing only specificly.... seriously.

what i do? play everything, beat it all, and pimp out my characters. my fav armor choice is always in sight, because i have money, and lots of it from many different things -including farming.

i guess my main mission is for cool armor to everyone i create, generally. anyone wana see me mesmer? just made and got final armors :P

too bad, you have no choice in the matter, i wanna show off my sense of style.

My style is to make one character and play him almost solely. The character is me and I am the character. I stick with one until I can't stand him anymore. Not necesarily do 100% everything possible in the game, but atleast finish a given compaign plus quite a bit extra. I so far have only done this with my ranger in prof and factions. I started a necro to play lots, but even though he has done MM and SS builds tons, he still hasn't gotten around to finishing either prof or factions. Prof is first on the list for him. He was born there after all. He only traveled to factions briefly after ascension to cap flesh golem. My main character, the ranger, also enjoys solo exploring/ running/ henching his way all around tyria and parts of factions. His favorite place to solo is definitely Kryta. Once I complete profecies with the necro, it will be time to try a melee class in nightfall. Possibly the dervish, but most likely the classic warrior.

Im the explorer type, I love seen those hidden treasures tucked away in the furtherest corners of the map.

when I pve... farm. hench to get to farming places. Faction Farm so I can get rank2 kur title.. umm..

yeah. but mainly PvP.. and yeah. I don't play the market because... as easy as it would be I don't play games to bore myself to death.. collecting gold by challenging myself with killing mobs > ripping nubs off.

I'm more of an allround player I guess.

I'm always looking for something to do, and usually run out of time by the time I find something

Good stuff people, you don't just have to stick to my list of job types. Make your own up.

Alot of different styles of players out there. Thats what makes this a community. No ones the same. It seems to me, what people like to do in real life, is what they like to do in game.

I think most people have that little bit of an explorer in them. Theres nothing like heading off into the unknown and finding rare treasures and beautiful land scape.

I like PVE in groups PVP is my favourite

solo enjoy farming with the monk

Walking Wikipedia.
Somewhere back i must have answered a few questions too much. Now everyone asks me about stuff in GuildWars. Which boss has what kind of weapon and skill, where they find, how to solo/duo farm him. How much damage spell xyz does at xx Attribute etc etc...
The freaky thing is i know 95% of the answers without having to look them up :/

That's something that I also have the misfortune of being lumbered with. Although I tend to go into game mechanics in huge depth without people even asking, leading to choruses of 'You play this way too much!'

I guess on the PvE side I'm half and half between a solo explorer/quester/farmer and a really sociable group person. Mainly because our guild is spread out over time zones, so I will do stuff by myself until there are a lot of people on, then maybe help out/get through 5 or so missions in a row. Or a FoW or Tombs run. I love playing with 7 good people where it all goes like clockwork. In terms of my solo stuff, I am a Title-Chaser, and a Hoarder.


@floppinghog: wow he is GORGEOUS.

i do it all but atm im more of a "Solo Artist"

I am a quester. I quest with henchies. I try to do most things with henchies. I guess you can say that I am a bit of a loner. But since my main character now is a mesmer (and I love playing a mesmer) its hard for me to get anything done without henchies. I love Alessia best and I think Erys Vasburg is the most skilled mesmer out there. I sometimes talk to them... and they have interesting things to say. There are times when I do feel desperate for human contact albeit in a game setting because GW has practically robbed me of any social life that I used to have. My mesmer is me. Henchies are my friends, until a kind soul would accept me in their party.

Come to think of it, this is kinda sad :P

All but high percentage in solo artist

PuG (and that includes as a monk).

Lets say I like the interaction and the ... challenge.

- Xeeron

I'm a farming chest running explorer as well. But add Title Hound to that.

I'm the same as Two Aprils, I guess: quests, missions, exploring, either solo or in groups. I don't do farming or chestrunning or any stuff of the sort. oh, and my grand objective is to have one primary char of each profession with the protector title appropriate to their respective homeland, plus all quests in that continent completed. 6 almost done, 2 to go, hehe (4 to go when NF is out).

Farmer, mostly... I guess. I like seeing title bars fill up and I like shiny things, mostly to show off in PvP when others are using fugly PvP armor.

Secondary would be "solo artist", since 95% of the PvE I do, I do with henches. Henches don't take time to assemble and can do the job almost anywhere in the game.

I haven't found PvE for the sake of PvE interesting since prophecies and for a brief time, exploring parts of Cantha. I absolutely hated Canthan missions and locked gates, so even if you beat me with a stick, I wouldn't go back to doing missions in Kaineng.
