im only pissed about 1 thing - the fact that i have to go 4 days without playing the game this week... =)

Well I love it love exploring around and finding new things to see
and do and kill.
Also anet's humor on certain things is still as great as ever.
one thing that needs to be done is a warning sign at the killer bunny Burrow
"Follow the white rabbit IF YOU DARE" lol that was classic.
We also need an extra storage tab for all the new collectible drops
as I collect and keep everything that might/could be needed later.
Even a tab just like the materials with say for example
Char Carvings 250
not a slot in the chest or like me on a mule.

Love the game so far. I can't wait to play the full version. One thing that struck me odd though, was i've gotten nothing but lowish level whites and blues and i've gone through this with 2 characters. Ok, maybe a few lowish level purples to.
Other then that, i'm digging the story, the spin offs, the graphics, and the mini games. Can't really say much more about it until I can experience the full version.
Oh, I to followed the bunny. I only did it because I wanted to know what people were talking about. Next thing I know my team was at a rez shrine. We went back and wiped them out though. Turns out one of the things in there was for one of my quests, and I had spent over an hour looking for it before I followed the rabbit.

Yeah, I admit it ... I had to post my post first ... but:
I am actually having a blast ... the Norn arena was superb fun even after getting my crown and all that ... an anthem to all those wicked builds we faced in RA / AB / HA ... great work there
The soundstrack is awesome and I am so HAPPY that the original shivern peaks score is included again as well ... just wonderful
Nice little jokes on the way ... I just say "follow the white rabbit"
... Charr's ranking you with their tiger 
unique armor skins for pve and nice rewards for quest ... feels great
Tons of nice skills to work on new builds for pve and pvp and filling some gaps in old builds ... my pet thanksfor feral aggression Anet!
And it feels like massive new content that i won't get bored of pve for some time ... dungeons, not to hard to grind (useful) titles, quests, missions, mini games ...
And the best of it all:
My whole HA guild went pve ... weeehhhheee ... cracking in laughter about snowballs chasing them, bringing infuse health on their healer heroes, ranking Charr's, flirting with Jora ... in short: having fun like three year olds discovering the first snow in their life ... GREAT FUN and most of it all much to laugh about!!!
Thanks for this thread ... was about time
Cheers,
Timebandit

One thing that made me piss myself laughing..."Killllrooooyyy StooooneKinnnnn!!"
The fact that you run around wailing on Summit dwarves with brass knuckles is something I never would've imagined I'd have so much doing. GG Anet

The Norn bear quest was annoying..
My whole party getting wiped by a snowball was funny though.

Enough said. So far I disagree. the preview was a total quest grind fest. Ive never liked quests and so far thats all this one is about. I just hope its not that way for the rest of the game. But so far not impressed. Proph imo is still the best one.

Note this thread is for the love of eotn; there's plenty of anti-eotn threads floating you coulda posted in one of them ~_~
Also, I noticed the spectators in the norn arena say stuff like "Can I have your autograph!" and "<name> is the best <primary class>!" and stuff like that.
I just hate that I see pyre and the assassin hero guy spectating, but I cant get them ;_;

You're in the wrong topic, there are plenty of other threads for you to whine about stuff in. I believe this topic was created because some of us are really enjoying the game, and are sick of the crybabies whining about little things like that.
What do you expect the game to be about, if not quests? If you don't enjoy quests, then I think you're playing the wrong game. And so far the only reason to grind, would be if you want the new armour, which isn't necessary. Plus, I'm already a Slayer of Beasts, without grinding what so ever. But yes, like you said, if you hate quests and are simply running through all of the areas ignoring everything, I guess you're going to have to go back and grind the points to get the armour, which you're probably also only going to complain about anyway.
Tip: Maybe you shouldn't be playing this game?

Something that is fun for you is not for others doesnt mean we are playing the wrong game. I enjoy playing the game with my guildies and friends no matter what we are doing doesnt mean I have to like the quests were doing. brian78wa

I'm loving the sneak peek event
this is easily the best out of the 4 games imo
Ezekiel Prophet
Two words: Dwarven Box
Kilroy Stonekin is out of his mind, boxing Stone Summit. But hey! It's amazing fun xD And don't forget Frostmaw's Burrows. Dubug
EOTN is great. I've really enjoyed the preview. The storyline, quests, missions and dungeons really suck you in. Good job ANET!
Oh... the injection of humor is quite well done. Dubug

I also like the fact that they gave us a set of skills and knuckles for it, so virtually anyone could do the quest line and have a blast doing it. Tijger

Now THAT one needs to be repeatable, that was awesome.
The boxing is fun too but not as good as Kilroy's 'vengeance' OT: We loved it and my wife and I are both grumbling that we have to wait a week now to go further. kazjun
Loved GWEN from what I could see. The quests were great so far. And there were enemies with actual builds rather than a handful of random skills.
The minigames were awesome, I actually didn't explore as much of the dungeons as I would have wanted since I was playing the games. Had to make myself leave town after I got my crown and finished the boxing quests from kilroy. Hehe, two brawlers rush a cave full of summit and laid the smackdown. Now that's fun. Too bad outside town thunderfists are just daggers, I'd have liked to be able to box outside town too. I'm hoping there's some boxing form like the wolf and bear forms that you can use outside town if your dwarf rep is high enough. And loved the norn tourney. Thom as a hamstorm, and alesia listening to people about how she leeroys like a whammo. Classic. Then there's pimpmaster M who 55's in a RA tourney. And cynn who joined the tourney to drag him home And that cute innocent rabbit, heading down a path to a hidden garden. I haven't actually been surprised and so hard pressed for a long time. Loved it. Anet really went to town with GWEN. And Jora is as purty as she looks in all the leaked pics There's only two things I didn't like in the whole preview. Needing so much faction for armours, I'm hoping that this was just to prevent most from getting full armours right off and that the title reqs will lower once GWEN goes live. The only other thing I didn't like is now having to wait before I can play GWEN again. GG anet, you got me hooked. Anychance of GWEN going live earlier? Like today?
Kuldebar Valiturus
I am very happy with what ANet has done. The "questifying" of missions has made the game flow so much better along with the story line. I love the quests, and, yes Magni is still kicking my ass.
As for the detractors, I'm not really sure what people who don't like to quest actually expect to do in a PvE expansion. 0.O I have known people who never quest and just go out an kill things, and I find that BORING, but even doing that in EOTN is a lot more fun because of the really cool reputation point acquisition system. Gold weapons at the end of a dungeon takes me back to my fun dungeon crawling days of yore. EOTN rocks, I am very glad I got the preview access.
hallomik
I think it looks like a great franchise expander. It looks like plenty to keep me occupied for a long time. I prefer the dungeon crawls to questing myself, but the dungeons are awesome. I only did 2, but they were great - Beautiful, challenging but doable, and fun.
I really like the way reputation "snowballs" if you're clearing an area and doing quests, too. Maybe Anet could retrofit the way Kurzick faction is acquired (hint, hint).
Corwin_Andros
So far I'm loving the expansion. Only wish work didn't have to come first and cost me so many hours playing...oh and that annoying sleep thing
GW:EN seems much livelier than than the campaigns. It was funny when I saw all the henchies standing around in their little cliches chatting, or Menlo and Cynn off by themselves arguing. The one thing that I didn't realize was that Mehnlo was a 55 in the tourney. I play a mes.. So I'd hit him with backlash and conjure phantasm and then poof.. no more Mehnlo.. I thought he was broken there for a while til someone mentioned the 55 thing.
Lady Lozza
Don't mind me folks, I just need to bask in the positivity a little while longer...
Ok now that I've done that: L-O-V-E love! I loved returning to Tyria. I've always been somewhat fond of the shiverpeaks but the far shiverpeaks <3. I loved the new heroes. I loved the new armours (possibly one of the few around that does). I loved the new mini-games. Solo arena against some of the most common builds around I loved the way they've done the quests, loved the cut-scenes midquest. I loved the landscape, the forest at night <3. I loved the small bits of the dungeons I did. I really, really loved the preview weekend even though I only got to play about 6 hours of it - unless they extend it and I can play some more when I get home from work. Sair

The maps actually feel open now. Its rather nice, doesn't feel nearly so hemmed in. And the music is fantastic, I particularly like the fight music. Hearing those trumpets come in right when I was starting to think I was going to win 'Defend the Eye' this time... that was great. (And yeah, I did beat it that time.) The game just rolls through. Its epic. It has Vekk.
vaxmor
Cold as Ice - this was the best quest I have ever done in any game. I can only hope that there are more quests like this.
Cryshal
It's all in your point of view. I don't base a game on what someone else says. It seems forums are becoming more negative all the time. That isn't to say I'm a fangurl, either. If I don't find a game fun, or my kind of enjoyment, I say why and just leave. There is no need for whining.
ShdwDrake
I loved it. The first campaign is my favorite and they did a VERY good job bringing the classic non "cluttery" feel to it. Most of the quests etc in Factions and NF seemed soo pointless, go get this and what not. But the quests in hee are actually a challenge and the dungeons are awesome!!
Also... KIIILLLROOOY STONESKIN!!! some_dude_91
haha. yeah. kilroy.
i loved this weekend. although i didnt get to get on as much as i would have wanted, i had fun. for the first time in my 26+ month gw career.. i actually felt "immersed" in the game. when *SPOILER* (if you havent gotten that far) Jora had to take out her brother. made me feel very bad. on a positive note. The new skins and dungeons are awesome. on another negative note.. i didnt beat any dungeons because i want on long enough to get to any. well.. i got to Sepulchre of Dragrimmar.. but i was almost to the boss and my brother turned off the electicity in the house. i guess he had a reason to.. since i had locked him out of the house and all. oh well.
Darai
Thank you for starting this thread!
I loved it all too... far from being the 'same old thing, just more areas to do it in', GW:EN brings a new feel to Guild Wars. But on the other hand, it's not SO new that it's confusing or feels like you're learning a new game. Bug-wise, I can't believe that there were so few! I know there's a lot of yelping over the hero issue when the preview ended, but I'm sure it will be fixed soon. Kudos to the programmers, who not only had to worry about building the game, but the preview experience as well. It would take a lot of thought and planning. GREAT JOB!!
Atlas Ravens
I've seen enough in the sneak peek. Sold! Without over analyzing everything I just feel that I haven't experienced that level of fun since I first played Prophecies. Rabbits made me laugh out loud.
manitoba1073
Besides my main gaming computer constantly crashing and having to work this weekend. The preview was ok and decent,except the HoM.
elLOCOmutha
I enjoyed myself alot. Bound to be things to fix always but Anet will deliver!!
Can't please everyone all the time. GW:EN looks spectacular and I can't wait to dive in deeper and explore. Kaie

This game was not just a grind fest… wtf?!? Did you forget there were minigames, dungeons, new quests that not only brought back great characters but introduced new ones and their storylines, and also the whole idea of exploring a beautiful new area?? And titles are not that bad… anyone who matters pretty much agrees. The only reason you need titles is to get armor or weapons with a different skin (you already have access to the highest al armor so it’s not that big of a deal) and to improve some of your PvE skills (which you already have access to hundreds of skills that require attribute levels and not a title). Really, they do not take away from the game, they simply give you something to work towards if you want to, it is not required.

Ok, that’s just stupid… someone expresses their love of the game and you write that?? Seriously, stfu.
Now that he’s been put into his place, I just want to say what a fun weekend. Everything was so amazing it drowned out all of the flaws in HoM (which is probably not going to be the final piece). Job well done Anet! and I definitely want to praise the art team. Those dungeons are beautiful. I took many pictures
Squishy ftw
I simply loved this weekend. So I have no doubt at all that GW:EN will simply rock. Cmon ,you follow a cute lil bunny and end up being ambushed by a huge mob..that's just awesome :d
Also, the dungeons are great, they look amazing, they're somewhat challenging (chromatic drakes FTW) and they can get you quite a reward. The quests are actually fun playing AND again very rewarding(lockpick/powerstone of courage/etc). So basicly: awesome 
Komes I
I like evry single bit of EotN. It is like best thing that could happen to Guild Wars! So can't wait till it comes out for selling.
cYC756
I love this game so far, the increased difficulty makes it a lot more fun. I love how enemies have more than one profession this time, and actually use team builds that work good!
Art team has once again gone above and beyond, as the scenery and new skins look excellent. I also find it cool how henchies now talk to each other in town, instead of just standing in a line. Storyline = a lot of improvement. Much better lore than previous Guild Wars campaigns. IMO I think Anet just needs to work on the HoM and you've got an incredible game. |
