What do you guys like to do in GW when you get bored, that doesn't involve farming or going after a title, by yourself. Cause I wanna play but I don't want to play by myself, I just wanna find a group doing something and tag along. So what do you guys like to do? My guild is inactive I only stay in it because I don't know lol, so guild is out as an option.

Edit: Does anyone wanna play GW with me?

After getting my ele survivor 3 I'm going to start running her through the campaigns for the protector titles.

I don't know if missions are your thing, but I'm always up for company.

Running around in circles in your guild hall, or gathering your guild in a circle in your guild hall and share stories.

Basically anything in your guild hall.

Lol I've done the circle thing, just by myself :/ haha I only have one friend to play GW with and when shes not playing I get bored

But to Loli: Yeah missions are the reason I bought this game I try playing WoW but I get bored cause I feel like I'm playing a pointless game, its like okay in GW I get to save the world and I feel there is a reason for doing things, in WoW I just get lost :/ lol I'll add you so we can play.

IGN is Articus Red by the way, which campaign are you gonna start off with? I've done Proph with my ele, but I got to get him through Nightfall and Factions as well.

Acting like a retard in vent, becoming a sarcastic twit, harassing others, slaking people from Guru, harassing them, bringing randomly horrible builds into RA like Vow of Silence so the monk can't heal you, 55ing in RA (with a good 55 build), starting arguements in RA and Great Temple and Lions. Ah so much fun!

Personally, I like to just follow people I don't know around the major towns when I'm bored. You'd be amazed how freaked out a character can look without changing the facial features of the avatar.

Otherwise, I'm not really sure theres that much to do. Really, when I'm feeling like you, are I either turn of the computer or look around for interesting goings on in the towns. I suppose you could also go do the beggining missions with brand new players and help them out.

She hasn't got anything yet She's cooped up in Gunnar's Hold right now until I let her out :X

I have all campaigns except GWEN right now, if we don't want to wait for my ele to get req3 my monk still needs Elona and Cantha

I'll add you too, I won't be on for a couple more days but I'll talk to you when I am. ^^

Or if feel devious, go into Northern Wall with an MM with veratas aura, get 10 minions, contemplation it off and watch the fireworks. LOLZ. I am so evil.

I like browsing through guild wars wiki for elites or skills I may not have noticed earlier, then trying to base builds around them. Sometimes I'll go to a mission I've already beaten and try and get on a PUG to kill some time, other times I'll sit around in a major town and answer any questions I see in global chat...

Hello Kitty Krewe [HKK] Forever!-ish

In PvE:

Take the Undead Hordes quest, go outside with friends. Run screaming into the mobs.
In NM, you run screaming in and kill them all. Bash bash bash!
In HM, you run screaming in and maybe get wiped. Bleed bleed bleed.
Go back to town, abandon quest, repeat.
Fun either way.

Opening the gate in Nolani (so many ways that can be fun.)

Oh, and Rotscale. Killing Rotscale and dancing naked upon his dragon isle singing "neener neener" That's fun!

Tricking a friend into doing the Wilds mission with me. He hates it. Cries like a girl if you can actually get him in there. Very entertaining.

Thirsty River is great fun with friends.

The only non-Tyria thing I can think of that's on the same level is the play at the end of the All's Well That Ends Well quest. Though it's not as fun to do over and over.

Running around to find wurms. Not the ones you ride, the ones that pop up out of the ground and knock everyone down. (Dunno why, just always really liked those wurms.) Finding the wurm breeding ground warning signs the first time in gwen had me downright giddy.

A lot of the things that struck me as impossibly hard at first in Tyria are the things I like best now.


In PvP:

Not much, since I don't PvP often at all. But anything done with pals where no one gets carried away and pissy. 1v1 scrimmage with a friend can be interesting for seeing exactly how conditions and effects stack and such.


All of the above really depends on friends. Can't think of much left in GW that strikes me as fun like that without doing it with friends. I'm not talking about guilds. Guilds come and go for a lot of people. I'm talking about friends.


GL to ya, hope you find something fun!

Oh, and it's fun to watch what happens when Malice goes random in towns and take bets on how long before his ban sets in, how long before he gets a new "fan," how long before someone figures out it's him and starts asking him for PC's and such, etc.

I'm on the campaign still as well, I'm at Vlox's Falls though right now, if you need help with your quests just let me know. Also, I wouldn't mind tagging along with your monk in Elona and Cantha I will talk to you in a few days then when you log on! Until then, I will take peoples advice and I'm going to see what other interesting things people have to say in some major cities.

No ban yet must try harder. Kamadan tommorow be there, or be sqaure.

If you ever want someone just to explore or play with my IGN is Fae Orchid. Feel free to add me, and we can play together when I'm on.

I usually just quest for fun, or help people with missions/quests. I don't believe in titles usually, but I think I might go for cartographer since I'd like to explore the landcape anyway...

I like to find a town where people are arguing something, doesn't matter what, and take both sides of the argument in order to create an even more heated debate. Then, I sit back and watch. Fun stuff.

It's always fun to just explore. Some of those views are just breathtaking... I used to just do random missions and quests to help out my guildmates as well.

When I'm bored I either leave the game for a while or go to Presearing and Guide newbies around the place, taking them to the collectors and the outposts,aldo picking the trophies.

I also like to go help in low-level areas to taste a bit o that delicious "I'm a level 99 against level 1 enemies" feel you get when using the title and the skills against charr, XD.

Yeah sure I'm not big on titles also as well, but I do like exploring and just running around and slaying some monsters so I'll be up to do that anytime with you I just don't like to do it by myself, it gets very quiet and lonely sometimes.

But to Dragonaire: Yeah I love running around and finding areas that I've never been to with nice views, I just like to do it with an actual player instead of my hench! lol

Stand near portal/gate in ToA(or any busy town where people PUG a lot) and wait for random invites. Accept the 1st one with 5 or more people then step out. As soon as you load step back in. Repeat until they kick you or they all leave. Cheap but fun.

After logging into my GW account I usually flip through my characters, then after a long sigh of dissatisfaction from not being able to find something interesting to do I X out. You just gotta realize, GW won't be your time sponge for ever.

I usually explore. Since I'm only 70% with Cantha, there are lots of cool things there that I haven't seen. Or, when I'm really bored, I hang around in the GH. I normally find stuff to do just before I want to log out.


Oh, and if you want to play together/explore with me, my in game names are Sydeus Cavalonius, Reza the Rebellious, Aerya Silverblade, Mesmerising Aria, Sydeus Silverwing, Mirra Faedon and Gana Calavera.

Aside from pvp, anything that makes me feel nostalgic is good. Like others I like exploring once and a while, and while the views can be great (crystal desert on the mountaintop by the giant fallen statue is one of my favorites), I enjoy the memories of playing through it all with friends for the first time more.

Haha, weird you made this thread Articus Red. I was only thinking of writing a similar thread myself yesterday. I'm very bored with the game, and it's not that there's lack to do, (as people will make loads of suggestions) it's that I don't have a lot of friends in the game like I did a long time ago. My 5 best mates stopped playing the game and I once took a break of 6 months from the game. I came back and didn't really follow up speaking to old friends as they'd probably forget who I was, lol.

I've completed factions 4 times. I've completed EoTN and have Prophecies too. I made a new Ranger character today and got him to level 20 by playing through Factions YET AGAIN. Just because I was bored! I have a 2 farming characters which I use occasionally but grinding out farming only interests me for a while.

I just get lonely on the game because I don't speak to anybody. My guild is ok and has it's own town, but I'd like to play through a game with somebody for a bit of a change. Speaking to another human when you play is all good! LOL As you said, you get a bit lonely just wandering around on your own.

I was going to ask if somebody wants to meet up, maybe go around vanquishing areas or something and just hook up whenever I'm playing that would be good. As you're looking, add one of my names on the left and we can meet up sometime to do some stuff.

Blame PvE warriors, or blame PvP wammos. Blame noobs in general, and never remember that you was a noob when you came to Guild Wars.

Also, you can star flaming in HA with a friend, or flaming in AB.
