I have taken a massive break from the game and have finally returned but to my surprise it seems everything's dead now, can never find a group towns seem quiet no one running or anything like that etc..

so what is everyone doing in the game these days i feel like starting completely fresh new character and such so what do people do for fun, what do people do for cash, what do guilds do now, how do you spend your days in guild wars now?

grind for the HoM. and pugs outside zquests are almsot non-existent outside of guilds/elite areas.

also alot of people are grinding money and stuff which also works. the pvp scene isnt nearly as active as it used to be and the game has gone a bit to the pve side.

Mostly I pop on to do the odd Z-Quest or WiK Bounty, sometimes I'll help a friend out with something if they're on.

Otherwise simply waiting until the seven hero update so I can advance in the WiK storyline quests. I've gotten sick of fruitlessly spamming LFG for those quests for hours on end. I know some people are against the 7-hero thing but seriously I don't see how it'll make pugging any more difficult or scarce than it already is.

These last few days, I've just been using tonics and sweets...

Sheesh, I'm only buying spammable ones from now on... I could have made the difference in price in gold if I'd been working on getting gold instead...

And worst of all, some new guys in the guild could have used my company...

Currently dealing with some unnecessary guild drama and running the final stretch of my GWAMM. Consequently, I'm debating whether or not to pay runners for the rest of my dungeons.

Used to play Hero Battles only , so now i don't have much to do. I gave up on HA after i got r12 few months ago . I randomly log on to do some JQ , which is for me the only fun and especially FAIR form of PvP in the game left.

how's JQ fair?

1. the yellow luxon archers don't shoot the yellow jugger, but the yellow kurzick archers do shoot the yellow turtle
2. if it's 10-10, no matter who got to 10 points first, kurzick always wins

on topic: trying to finish my 30th max title, and doing some JQ

waiting for full hero, cuz i'm kinda slow, and the guilds i joined before died, so i left em all, and the active friends are mostly busy with own stuff, so no time to help me

then i farm for nicholas if its not too hard
and i chat more than i walk in gw

as for what i do lately except for that, i use my wii, and play zelda OoT, just until full hero gets here

as for pugs, they suck, as its:
1. they only want "elite" players to join
2. they are worse at gw than i am (so sometimes i help people at the start of a campaign)

so now that i got traveler gifts, i wont do gw for some

Yes , but those aren't really deciding most games. You don't lose/win all games because of these. Builds especially matter , but how smart players are too. It's not really fair for luxons on those cases , but it's nothing compared to , for example , 1v1 halls koth as red , where , no matter your tactic/builds , red loses 95% of time.

on topic : also farming kurzic chests in order to get echovalds

Well, I'm 6 ecto away from obsidian armor, and 66 keys away from a filled HoM.

After that, I'll I will have left to do is getting a 30th title. But all that are left are the account-wide ones, which are rather annoying to get. So I'll suppose that I will spend a lot of time questing and vanquishing in the jade sea, since I don't like SCs or chest runs.

I've never PUG'ed, and I'm still new enough that there's plenty I haven't done yet. I'm working on titles, which are helping to force me to have courage and do some of those new and intimidating things (H/H'd, so no one rages at me for sucking). And I'm helping a friend teach another friend how to play.

It's not really a PUG'ers game anymore. They tend to pick up when there's new content (War in Kryta), so I'd imagine we'll see more when the Winds of Change stuff comes out (unless the 7-heroes thing hits at the same time).

I've played on Kurzick where we got the 10th point a shade ahead and still lost.

Well, after I got my GWAMM like 2 years ago, I started doing UWSC and FoW, but grew sick of that, and now it's DoASC for life baby Got my 50/50 too (lol, had like 45/50 when the update came xD) so there is little left for me to do.. Could try PvP since I did everything in PvE, but think I've made my point there before

Btw, H/H got me like 80% of all my GWAMM titles, the occasional take a friend and do a dual discord VQ was very scarce and henchies weren't all too bad... And if an ele with an AP fire magic build can VQ/Do all HM missions, seriously, anyone can.. I've been running occasional critscythe builds on my ssin when i'm farming war supplies to use in DoA, and, just, wtf.. I hit 300+ on casters occasionally and 150+ on melee.. I've even hit 232 on a peacekeeper once, so that's pretty OP imo..

But, to stay on topic... PUGing is dead, outside of UW, FoW and DoA (glaiveway that is) if you want a certain mission HM done, and you can't manage with h/h, wait for the ZMission and then you can, but else, no way..

Then you got the 10th point after victory was already assigned to the Luxons. My point is only valid if both parties get 10 points before a winner is chosen, of course.

Finished "Life of the Party", this past week. Drunkard up to 3,000+, with enough alcohol to finish and then some. Sweets up to about 2,000, needing more. Low on coins, so need to go earn some more.

Primary account - HoM at 34/50, 7 maxed titles, looking to reach 10 titles and then just waste time on my secondary account (7/50).

Got 50/50 and my GWAMM now i come back on a monday for Nic, other than that i still have ~120 normal skills to learn on my main and a dozen or so armor sets to finish him off. I have the cash just not really the inclination.

My plan was to join a new guild since mine is dead and play loads but i resubscribed to WoW instead and i think other than when new content is added that will be me till GW2

As I mentioned in another thread. I purchased GW trilogy at Target for $20 and have enjoyed re-experiencing the game starting up a series of new characters and having to go hunt down skills and otherwise start from scratch. Since I'm playing pretty casually anyway, I'm also intentionally playing around with off-beat builds and hero combinations.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

Score: Kurzick: 9 ... Luxon: 9
Score: Kurzick: 10 ... Luxon: 9
[1/2-1 second passes -- enough time for me to go "YES!"]
Score: Kurzick: 10 ... Luxon: 10

Luxons won.

Unless you're referring to some discrepancy in the score, where maybe the Luxon Turtle handed in its 10th jade slab before the Kurzick Juggernaut handed in its 10th, and somehow the on-screen scores don't reflect that. If that's what you're referring to, I can't contest it, since I can't physically be in both bases at once.

But this is off-topic. I won't carry on with it further.

From top to bottom, most important to least:

- Vanquish Nightfall to get the Legendary Vanquisher title.
- Beat Underworld for the first time on my Necromancer.
- Vanquish 5 more places in Eye of the North to finish the "Of The North" Title.
- Obtain 15 Gold Zaishen Coins to get the Heavy Equipment Pack.
- Reach Rank 2 of Lucky.
- Finish off my Sweet Tooth Title.
- Get 205 more War Supplies to get the Oppressor Sword.
- Acquire Obsidian Armor to add to the Hall of Monuments.

Vanquishing Elona.

...I've been vanquishing it for months now. I have two areas left, and as a result have ground to a halt because I simply do not want to deal with Joko's Domain and Sulfurous Wastes. Though I really should just suck it up and finish, because doing so will also have me complete Lightbringer and Cartographer as well. I'm holding out for a double SS/LB weekend soon.

Also randomly deciding "Hey, I like that armor" and buying it...even if I then find myself selling off everything in storage that can be merched in order to be able to afford to put runes on said armor. I've done zero farming in months so I have no money (and I never did anything more than farm feathers), but I keep spending/giving away stuff.

Waiting for the Dervish update, since that's my main, and also waiting for 7 heroes so I can do WiK on the other two of my characters that are able to do it. I hero-henched it once already. I'm going to just wait until I can do a full hero team before doing it again.
