I finally did it...

I reached 1mil XP.

If only they gave you a glowing aura just like the bosses have when you reached 1mil XP. (Warrior-Yellow, Monk-Blue, etc...)

Hehe! Congrats!

y'know, I really like that kind of idea... the aura, I mean. Something like that or a persistent glow effect or floating icon or something. If not at 1M XP, then upon completing the game or finishing every available mission (bonuses included), or unlocking all runes, upgrades, skills, etc. Something to show that you did it all.

why? so you can feel LEET?

so you can show everyone else how uber you are?

I have been over 1 mil exp on my main for almost a month now. no big deal. the only one who needs to feel good you. if you are happy and feel a sense of accomplishment that is graet and i am happy for you, but to have some aura or special sign that you made it is just not the way GW is built.

like i said grats to you but i do not agree with your idea at all.

Congrats!

Are you just in UW and Fissure all day? Is that how you get so much xp?

Gratz
well the Aura reward is not a good idea...why? 50% of population actually have more than 1kk exp (i've 2,000,000 myself) and soon all will have..so what's the point? :P

why not a giant comic-bubble above your head that says "I wasted more of my life playing Guild Wars than you did"???

congrats on the 1kk

Believe it or not, you curmudgeons, some people like the feeling of accomplishment. Does it make their character better than anyone else's? No. It's just a fun "look at me" kind of thing. Most people wouldn't give a hoot but those of us who don't begrudge someone a feeling of accomplishment think it's cool.

you do not need a special aura to feel accomplishment unles sof course you only get your self worth from what others think of you.

in this case i am thinking you do

Actually, even if this game was single player, I would enjoy a nifty aura. Yes, I spent 4 hours in FF2 (or 4 depending on who you are) getting Rydia the *Imp summon. Why? It does no real damage, but it's fun to have.

Now I'll be quoting Carly Simon:

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

-Diomedes

Congrats, I definately wish there were more unique items and rewards.
Unfortunately it's too bad many of the current rewards can be had for a price.
It kinda defeats the sense of accomplishment.

why do you need outside validation??? you earned 1 mil exp that is a nice accomplishment. you know you did it, why does everyone else have to know you did it?

unless of course you want to impress everyone

And if he wants to? So what?

And why can't you keep your opinion to yourself?

lmao hmmm lets see to answer your question these boards are here for us to voice our opinions lmao.

but of course we should all shut up cause you do not like what is written

I think he deserves an Aura

-group hug!!

Thanks for the positive input from some of you, just wanted to post it because well... thought it was interesting to me. I didn't intend this thread to be a "Show Off" type of post either. Once again thanks.

dumb question time... 1 mil exp, is when you reach level 20 right?

Manheim, you deserve the pat on the back that you've accomplished. *pats his back* Don't let the turkeys get you down.

You know, I remember the first time I got out of Ascalon and into Kryta. I was so excited! It was so different and so beautiful...especially compared to the moonscape that post-searing Ascalon had become.

I got on the public channel and said something like, "HI! I finally made it! Whoo hoo!" I can't even tell you how many people called me "f-ing n00b" and said things like, "STFU" and other niceties like that. *sighs*

Not everyone, Manheim, in this community is as jaded as the more negative posters on this thread, nor is everyone in game as jaded. I still get an adreneline rush when I unlock a rune or a new item or a new skill. Don't lose your enthusiasm because of a few doo doo heads.

I am all for aura's and stuff but like ive been saying.

People here are againist any type of showing off because they are againist anything that will make you different. They want clones walking around with same stats and everything so they can SKILL YOU.

A colored name or aura is NOT showing off and people dont type " OMG I HAVE A AURA AND YOU DONT NUB"

That is way extreme. But anything to make you look different they hate.
