I'm missing good ol' GW, once I get my new PC I'll be coming back and starting a new character, play through the game and just enjoy the good days when we were all here having fun, grinding, laughing, trolling, and the likes.

Can we all just have a "Come back to GW day," and just be nostalgic together haha.

I'm religiously helping Nicholas every week. And also looking forward to Wintersday - this event brings so many memories...

I'll probably be losing this PC at the end of the month, borrowing from friend since mine died and he's getting internet back. Thankfully GW is not very taxing so I may just get a cheapo laptop so I can be lazy on my couch

Waiting for wintersday... gonna farm my ass off

In other news, 6 more HM missions for tyria guardian on my sin, probably gonna do those right now. I'm not sure which title I'm going for next, probably Elona guard to finish those and I need to make a pre char to get to 20.

So lame I had a 16 there but friend started playing and I decided to travel with it. Then he quit, go figure.

This is the first time I've ever really went for titles in GW in all the 7 years I've played so I'm kinda going in blind. Can't wait to waste all my money on pets and crap.

I figure it's high time I get GWAMM :3

TBH the game is very active with ZB and stuff, I find I have to ignore those if I even want time to do my own stuff.

Yeah, I've been putting off GWAMM on my sin for a good 3 years haha, I need to get on top of that as soon as I get my PC. Nothing like good ol' grinding. And maybe I'll try my hand at duo/solo R/A FoW again.

only 2 more titles for my first gwamm...doing vqing of elona and almost done with lucky. my next one is pretty close too--she is working on elite capping and tooth decay that will get her (with the lucky title) gwamm..so 2 will be done soon! (relatively speaking since it took me this long to get this far )

love wintersday too, cant wait (snowball fights and egg nog woot!)

I made a Factions character to get a Prophecies character to Viz Square Local. Finished Luxon side of Factions, all primaries in EotN, and now well into Nightfall with the Factions character. Running into the occasional road block, but with time and patience, find away around it. An hour or two a day, with the occasional 6 hour day of play. Plenty of secondary quests fill the time.

I'm on an eternal quest to expand my collection. I have done all the PvE and Speedclearing my limited time allows me to dedicate to it. My interest in ancient relics from the early era of Guildwars drives me on this quest to obtain the unobtainable, but it's proving to be unbelievably expensive.

But my quest continues even if I cannot log in when RL keeps me busy!
That's what I'm doing in Guildwars.

I'm currently playing through War in Kryta with my Paragon (<3). She looks like a butterfly with the Dwarven Armor Dyed Red.

Doing dungeons now and then as well. I'm also on an eternal quest to find a nice Serrated Spear or yes even a Voltaic. I just hafta have one even if it's everywhere. :P Someday I'll find my precious..es.

Last few days I've been trying to find a HM Hero's team for FoW I'm happy with; without cons. Not so much for completion, just for exploration mostly; its a zone I largely ignored for the last two years but its one of the last places I have not pretty thoroughly explored.

Besides that I'll be seeing a lot of Ruk1a I guess as I'll be farming the heck out of Snowball dominance at my first opportunity; after new years I'm planning to launch my first Sin. Happy Hunting all. BB.

I just recently upgraded my entire computer and am in the process of setting up my three accounts again. DAMN I miss this game sometimes. I don't think I've "played" Guild Wars 2 in close to a month, but this game, in its hey-day.....day in/out for many years.

Look forward to hopefully putting some time back into my Derv and LDoA Ele soon!

I've just finished the last HM Quest to be done with all the quests of the game on my Monk.
I keep doing a little RA, some trading and I do some Elite Zones with friends for fun sometimes!
Glad to see that there's still a community existing on Gw!

I quit playing like two years ago, but now I start to long back to the good old days.
I fire up my GW again and hang out in Random Arenas.
Also checked out some mission towns to see if there's nobody in need some help, but most towns are deserted. I'd help out just for the fun of helping someone.

I'm also up for playing through the game again with people. Playing through Prophecies again with real people last summer was quite fun. Even in NM.

As a matter of fact I have one more character that I started in Prophecies, then started Factions, but never finished since I had already finished on all professions before. It's my only male character (a warrior) that I need to get through in Factions. Then later on he's up for Nightfall (and Eotn) too!

What mission are you at in Factions, cosyfiep? I'll work my way to that point and then I can join you.

Sure, no problem. My warrior has to continue with the Tahnnakai Temple.
The reason I didn't go in with heros is because this character is my last chance to build up my survivor title track. Already reached survivor 1, but I wouldnt mind keeping him alive a bit longer and since it's not hard mode, that shouldn't be a problem with real people. Plus I prefer to play with people instead of heros. It gets pretty lonely after a few missions with AI teammates.

But I'm up for anything really. If someone needs a necro or rt for say, Eternal Grove, that's fine as well. I can switch around and be everywhere in all of the GW campaigns.

Somehow this is really sad, that despite GW2, many miss the good old GW1 and even return to an 8 year old game.
That shows that for true fans, graphics don't matter. Gameplay comes first.
I have yet to continue and finish my first character run through GW2. :-/


Anyway, as for GW1 and when I can be on: The first couple of days up till next week Thursday I can be on pretty much all the time.
I'll check back regularly here. (I'm in Europe, Belgium, GMT+1)

Happy to help, I know that mission fairly well and the most risky spots. Mostly the Ritualist boss or becoming overconfident at Vizu.

I was all over the GW2 hype, preorders and all. While it's a very nice looking game I felt it just didn't have that spirit I loved about GW1. And I missed being able to freely customize my skillbars. So I returned to GW1.

O yea, I know. Factions to me was the game where the danger of ele's became clear. >_<

I had hoped for GW2 to be like GW1, just with better graphics and a new story, new characters for all I care. But to keep the basics such as the 8 skills bar and 8 player parties venturing out on primary quests on the way to the next mission town.

I wanted to get the collectors or whatever edition with the statue and all, but I didn't in the end. And I'm glad I "only" paid 60 euro's for this. The character models are beautiful (female elementalists.. ow .. my .. god! lol).
But that doesn't make a great game. I started with an asura engineer and hated it right away as soon as I learned that skills change depending on what weapon you use. So I'm an engineer running around with an old rifle and all I get is some shots and a bunch of turrets. Feels like a poor version of a spirit spamming Rt.

Apart from the gameplay, the story didn't get me interested either. The way its told is poorly done and there is no feel of teamwork. I run around and here and there I see others chasing enemies and collecting loot, but do i feel like my input matters? Not at all. Not even when joining 20 random players at one of those BIG boss battles that occur throughout each map.

I think my asura is level 18 or so now and I'm really sick of it, so much I can't even push myself to finish the game once! Maybe if i find a guild I can play along with, but then how will we play as I noticed every race has it's own starting point and storyline? Pffft!


Pardon my rant. It just shows I rather play an 8 year old game over the sequel with better graphics.

yes...we need to stick to the thread title (playing mod here for a second--not a why I stopped playing gw2 thread--think we have one of those here someplace).....

that being said...yeah, we need to get together in factions---my necro is still at...viz square (was waiting for someone to log on and play with me )...and I still need to finish up the hatchery with my ele (skipped it for some reason--oh yes, was needing kurzick points for armor!). and think my ele made it to crossroads in nightfall (leveling up the 4 legg-ed one), so still have plenty to do!!!
had a short vacation from those characters while doing all the wintersday quests and such--now ready to get back into playing them again!

I can help you out there in either one of the quarters you're not starting from, so we have heros instead of henchmen.

Easy to get if we clear the area first before triggering the turtles. I'll help out!

That's the tricky part, can't remember how often I peeked at my friendslist trying to see if Cosyfiep was online (I only know two of her many accounts right now). I too have several accounts which makes it more tricky. But the most active would be
TomokoMori, MavenArcher, MadcapSpirits. Most likely I will go through Factions with Madcap-account. Got a few different characters but still working out decent builds. Only my SoS-spirit got decent heroes so far.

I'm currently trying to finish up 2 more titles to give me 20 overall, which are protector for Tyria and Elona. It's pretty sad that after 8 years, I never did the mission and bonus for D'Alessio Seaboard or Bloodstone Fen lol. I know *fail*. I don't even know if I'll even finish doing it since I hate doing stuff like this by myself because it gets boring.

I'm still running people, working on vanquisher titles, and I might continue my remakes of the Cartography Made Easy mods. My remake of the Cantha one has gone over extremely well with the community so far so I might take the time to remake the others when I get the time.

Recently got my first GWAMM. Just have a few elite areas I want to do, plus I need to finish my HM titan quests (just did Defend Droknar's + Denravi). Apart from that I'm still PVP'ing depending on the weekly bonus, doing any zaishen quests I feel like in order to save up for no reason, and waiting excitedly for the canthan festival.

Sadly I just realized that that with JQ almost dead and FA dead there is no way of finishing canthan cartographer titles. I was hoping to do them on all my remaining chars one day. So focused on other stuff for the moment.

you dont need either jq or fa for the title--you can 100% without them (and with the woc you can get a bit more from that pvp starter area which should help even more)....its just not as easy to finish without them.

I have done the new years quests (4 of them--I skip 'just my luck') on more than 2 dozen characters...and I still have another dozen or so I can do them on ---though my reasons for doing them was to get my horsey for each of my accounts (got them all already--got lucky on my last 200 and got 3)....so now I am doing them to trade for gift bags--sweet points (doing the nightfall quest for them as well).....otherwise, been playing rollerbeetle (when there are enough peeps), have yet to get into the dragon arena--always empty, and some afk on the rings (when I remember to leave my computer running and such ).

Spent around 18 hours afking the 9 rings. Got lucky from 41k to over 107k and unlucky from low R2 to R3. Still breaking lockpicks with a 70% chance to keep them. The only Celestial missing up to this point is the Rat. Have all the rest up to the Horse.

Working on cartographer across all 3 continents and doing the ZV's with Strings of Vengence. Pulled a mule off account #4, and now working it through NF.

lol yeah, I afk'ed in the rings for my first time this year because I only play in the evening because of exames. Had my Titles at 5 (unlucky) and 3 (lucky) over a course of 5000 hours of play before (obviously minus the time spent while these titles weren't invented yet). These are ridiculous. I made an estimated calculation for fun: If you only do chest runs with lock picks in HM from 0 to 10000 chests you will roughly get 1/3 of unlucky and 1/5 of lucky.

I'm (slowly) working on my second GWAMM on my Derv - currently trying to motivate myself to complete Prophecies in NM & HM. It's a struggle!

Plus my boyf and I created new characters (my first Mesmer!) and we're playing through Prophs without access to our other accounts - so no financial help or heroes or anything. Plus no buying of Elite tomes or PCons.

I'm also playing through WoC in NM & HM for the first time on my Necro but I'm currently stuck on a quest in HM (the one with the jotun in the cave in Mount Qinkai if anyone has any pointers?).

Aside from that, I'm enjoying running duo Ooze with a friend on my Sin, doing occasional SoOSCs on my ranger, and standing around in Kam trying and failing to get rich.

Slowly flag your heroes to the mouth of the cave, then trigger the quest. You got to do it bit by bit, so they don't get stuck, plus a bit of practice to know the route. That and some luck and you can do it.

Well, that quest is hard. But they made it easier since the HM NPC's are now lvl 20. Running a Prot+Heal bar yourself will help immensly. And you don't have to flag your heroes sepperatly if you use permanent IMS. If you are in, Spirits and Minions help a lot. And take care of the Sin, she is quite suicidal (spike down groups she attacks).
