Factions I could, because its doable in about a weekend lol. Proph: I like the starter bits (~first 7-10missions) but then i get bored (jungle, desert) and stop. Its okay if I get a run and do the desert quick though, so it isnt too bad. NF is mind numbling boring for about 1/2 to 3/4 of the story because there is no real challenge at all, and it only gets fun in RoT tbh. EotN is okay, but I just cant be bothered. Quite simply, it just isnt worth the effort.

I only finish the campaigns once to get to know the story and get hard mode, after that I take my chars to where I need to, ascend, get elites, etc. and be done with it. I'm more interested in the trading and gear in the game than repeating the same story over and over, just because.

I've got a few characters I'm working on getting through Prophecies and Nightfall. So, yeah, I'd play through them again. Prophecies for the nostalgia, Nightfall to open up areas for my characters to visit.

With factions, HELL NO! I hated going through it the first time. Doing it in HM was a bit better than NM, but it still sucked. The only times I even set foot in that dump is for the festivals that take place exclusively in cantha. Thank got for tomes! Now, if i need a factions skill, I don't have to take whichever character in there to cap it, I just buy/use a tome!

Started playing back at retail release of Prophecies. Six characters completed Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall; though only the Ranger completed EOTN. Then I burned out on the grind in EOTN and have not played any GW for nearly a year.

Now, though, I think I will start a new character in Pre-Sear and try to get back to those thrilling days of yesteryear when the game was new and a great adventure.

i'm going to bring my warrior through the rest of nightfall (she's been somewhere in the desolation for many months) then on through gwen.
the only reason for the delay is that she's been my mule for a long time and i just can't pick up anything lol!

prophecies? i am, but i hate the maguuma jungle + crystal desert. proph i think has the best setting(as it's so versatile)

factions? i am, but i hate the starter island, and the city-too confusing for me. i think though that factions has the best missions cause they're short + sweet

nightfall? prob not, too much grinding at the start for the ranks, and the deserts in it were...dissapointing, considering how good the crystal desert looks

EotN? never finished it-it was that dull. even made me delete my ele with her lovely new max armour

Same, I tried about 2 months ago and just stoped right before the desert. Will probably delete the character or mule it, but will probably never play it again.

I've finished all four campaigns with one character. The rest have done bits and pieces. I have one that has finished nightfall but nothing else. Others have gotten started but I stopped playing them. I even have one that got LDOA and had her running around but got bored. They are pet farms now. Once a year I harvest their pet and use them for storage.

Prophecies, I'd just get a Drok's run and skip the boring part. Beaten it once.

Factions, I've beaten like ten times, so it'd be the one I'd play again.

Nightfall sucks. I've beaten it twice, but that was a forced point.

GWEN I've technically beaten three times because I filled up the hero book two more times. :P

I wouldn't mind doing Proph again. I've only done it once or twice and it's been a while since I've done it. I can do EotN again over and over. But Factions and Nightfall make me want to kill myself when I make a new char there.

I'd say I have done:
Proph - 4x
Factions - 6x
Nightfall - 7x
GW:EN - 1x

I will play them again, dont know why but Factions is the most fun to repeat play because its just the right length, the others drag abit especially Nightfall, and Prophicies gives you too many options to skip .
One thing I hate about GW:EN is there is no solid missions, and instead you end up running around explorable areas and stuff which is so boring.

All three of my characters have done at least protectors on every continent only finished EoTN on 2 of my three. My answer to your question is maybe. Depending on how the HoM works on perma -pre's I have a monk with whom I'm working on LDoA. If he has to leave pre-searing to put the title in HoM then I may do the game with him just for completeness sake.

Factions is relatively short...so I've done it. Prophecies is the easiest believe it or not...get run to droks, powerlevel self in Cantha till viable level. finish...NF is the hardest for me my ele is still stuck at Gate of Madness

Prophecies? Hell no. I could barely bring myself to complete it twice, and one of those was because I had to (Tyrian character, you see).

Factions and Nightfall, oh yes. You can rack up a lot of money just playing through those two (I bought many sets of 15k armor that way)...

No.

Mostly because the only class I like is mesmer, and mesmers just happen to get kicked out of most groups for being a mesmer. Missions are usually too hard to do with hired help, and real people never need me, so it takes a lot of time to complete anything, and a hell of a lot more to play it all over again.

Not by itself. If it was some sort of new character marathon rush through the game with some friends, maybe, or if there was something else to make it interesting.

Definitely wouldn't PuG or H/H it.

Yeah, same as me. I can't play through the game now...it's just so boring. Only time I would is if there was a cool reason, like Avarre said.

Why would you play through the same campaign 3 times with the same character?

No, i wont complete them unless i'm trying to get armor for a character.

While I took 6 chars thru Proph, before Factions came out, I will never make another char there. Likewise, now that I have a derv and para, I'll never make another NF char.

I make all my chars in Factions and then take them to the othercampaigns, thus skipping the boring parts and the excruciatingly slow leveling up porcess.

So I don't mind playing thru any of the campaigns again and have taken many chars thru all three.

The one exception has been EotN - finished it with 2 chars and just don't find it interesting enough to play past getting Ogden (well, maybe Jora, too) with other chars.

I'm trying to bring myself to do at least some of it on my mesmer and ranger to get the elites they still need.

But god it drains you, can do it in bursts but thats it.

I kinda lost pve ages ago though.

I've played through and completed all three campaigns and EotN with all of my nine characters, the only profession I don't own is a paragon. But I can't be arsed making one and doing it all again. I was however thinking of buying the bonus mission pack to give me that little extra something new to do with my current chars.

Hm,the only campaign that i played for 5+ times is Proph,and it was worth every min spent on it,all others are just with mindless story and with no enough enough reason to make me them play....Would i create again any non pvp char-i would.But the game,is not as it used to be like long ago,there are 4 campaigns,and hardly for +1/2 more ppl than it was before factions,when proph was still alive,when all tradings were doing in Droknars Forge,not in Spamadan or stinky Kaineng.Without shitty heroes and with some point that makes u play-will u do the mission with good ppl team,or will u farm some green with some random dudes that are trying to do same as u,not bunch of brainless guys with ursan in fow armor,or 'MUST be obsidian tank for uw/fow' guys who did that crap few times and think that they know everything,and being a noob just cose some random dude tells u that.
Its not now about playing that like it was used to be,there are 2 many 13 yo kids on hormons today in game,and thats the probably the main reason why i hate playing campaigns.
So,difference between now and 2 years ago is not in nerfs,skills,heroes,drops...its about ppl who play it-racists,nerds,allknowing kids and new era of noobs-if u dont know something,just pretend to know it and everyone around u is idiot.Thats it,thats the mekansm how their brain works.Thats the only reason why i dont enjoy in missions anymore.
Dang it,this was long confession

I still need to do Factions with my Warrior, Nightfall with my Ranger, and Prophecies with my Ele. I had planned to have that done this summer, until my pc died on me. Is going through each campaign with my 3 main chars worth it? To me it is.

I really want to, but its just hard taking that first step. I usually get to level 7 and then go back to my main.

I fortunately have one character besides my main that did make it to level 20, but I'm not that far in any campaign.

I have 5 characters that I use.

My main (Ele) & Ranger have completed all 3 chapters & EOTN.

My monk has has completed all but Factions & EOTN.

My Warrior has completed Factions only.

My Necro has completed NF only.

I more than likely will not progress any of my characters any further.


So to answer the question...no probably not.

I would, but then again ive done so many repeats, i lost count of it.

I almost certainly would do it if i had like 2000 ectos to spend on getting all the things i have now, which is quite a lot actually.

For one thing im an elite armor freak, i cant stand any of my chars without an elite armor on, and so all my 10 chars have atleast one, regardless if i ever use them, they just must look good.

yeah i could and im currently in the process of getting one of each profession through the 3 main games(only a select few will ever see EoTN) on my main account i have 12 characters.............

My Tyrian born characters, 2 rangers, 2monks, 1 warrior, 1 mesmer, 1 ele. all but the 2nd monk are triple protectors

my Canthan born characters are my necro, rit and sin. the rit is a triple protector, sin has finished cantha and is working its way through nightfall. necro is near done with cantha and 1/2 way through nightfall

then of course my paragon and dervish are the 2 elona characters. both are about 1/2 way through elona and cantha

only my 2 rangers, mesmer, 1 monk and my sin have done anything in EoTN. dont expect to bring any of the others into EoTN. maybe once im done with all 12 in tyria,cantha,elona and the ones that have been to EoTN are done my paragon might see time in EoTN.

my 2nd ranger and mesmer are my 2 main title characters beyond NM missions. knowing how long GW2 was away i just couldnt see playing 1 character, rushing to max all titles for GWAMM. only way i could see being interested long enough til GW2 is realeased is by playing a bunch of different characters. i figure by the time GW2 hits, if i havent gone crazy, i'll have account wide KoaBD or maybe even 1 legendary guardian for each profession. i'll hit 3 years in game in september. my first ranger and monk were the first 2 characters i made back then and i just couldnt come to deleting them so i kept them and remade them with different looks and names.
