Bored with Guild Wars? Replay Prophecies/Factions!

After you beat Nightfall and obtained max armor, weapons, and titles for your PvE characters, there's not too much you can do PvE-wise. That's why I started a free mission help service.

However, after receiving requests for such obscure places as Thirsty River and Sunjiang District, I was surprised about how easy those missions were with my Heroes and my new expertise and skills. It was actually fun.

For example, in the two aformentioned missions, I played as my Necromancer with her super-godly build for the Heroes. (I'll post it later). In Thirsty River, remember the last area when you were a lowbie, with the nigh-unkillable Monk boss? And how you were stuck for weeks? Completed the entire area in 3 minutes. And Sunjiang, which was generally easy anyways...completed in 9:45 (which is less than half of the Masters time!)

I've also been playing a new Elementalist through the Factions campaign, because I want 15k Canthan armor for her. I have her as a Searing Flames Ele, with 2 Searing Flames Heroes and a "They're on Fire!" Paragon. Albeit overkill, it's quite fun. I completed Nahpui Quarter, considered by some to be the most difficult mission to Master in Cantha, in 17:11 (which is 8 minutes less than the Masters time!), and I also completed Tahnnakki Temple in 15:40 (5 minutes less than Masters. That mission was a pain to Master for my Nec...)

So if you are bored with GW, and are unable to PvP, go tear up some old places like THK and Hell's Precipace, and laugh.

I always tear through the great northern wall. It's amazing how easy that mission is with 3 lvl 20 heroes!!
When I was a noobie, I thought it was a hard and long mission. It's really easy now, I am so much better now!

I've tried doing that- it's not fun for me doing it again though...wish it was =\.

Since I bought Guild Wars: Prophecies in July '05, all the way to right now, after I'm finished with the storyline missions, I have nothing to do but wait for the next chapter, and pvp maybe a couple hours a week.

That's just the one thing that bugs me about GW as much as I love it, that after your done, if your not a PvP junky, there's not a large area as far as replay value goes.

I hated Prophecies, I never want to go through the missions ever again. Especially the first half of the game.

Krytan Explorer, we are a rare breed!
Prophecies is my least favourite. I made a necromancer and just deleted him because I couldn't stand trudging through the same content at such a slow pace. I found that the first half of Prophecies was pretty restrictive in what I could do. It's just me trying to get to Lion's Arch so that I can freely explore any continent I wish and buy all the skills I want.
Although if I make a character in Nightfall or Factions it is fun to take them to Tyria because I'm free to go in several different directions. I can even go to ascalon if I want some memory-lane adventure. Or work my way through Southern Shiverpeaks with heroes.

I don't like replaying prophecies with a character from cantha or nightfall. I remember taking my rit through prophecies for something to do, and thought, "Hey, this might be fun..." but I was wrong. The missions and everything up till I got to the fire islands were literally putting me to sleep. I was so bored, I couldn't believe I considered doing it. I didn't even have to think of a good build for anything, just went through, destroyed things, next town, next mission, same thing... ZZzzzzzzz. Although, I haven't tried it with heroes yet, might be different, who knows. I might take my paragon and derv through factions though, there's still some fun areas of that campaign that I wouldn't mind going through again.
