Let's see how we all stack up unlocking things

A fellow guild mate started a thread on Guild-Hall, and I would like to see how everyone is doing here.

I woud like to see:

Total Hours-
Hours on PvE characters
Number of Skills left to unlock
Number of weapon upgrades to unlock from 0
Number of weapon upgrades left to max out
Number of Runes left to unlock
Faction earned/spent
Your feeling on the % of items you unlocked with faction vs. identifying

Total skill points on your PvE characters
Total skill points spent
Your feeling on skill points and how easy/difficult it is to aquire them.

If you have unlocked everything in the game, please state that and if you know the total hours it took to unlock everything please include that instead of the current numbers.

Edit I use the create PvP only character to check all these stats, except for the time played. I use /age to show that characters age and it also shows the total play time for your account.

Here I am:
642.5- hours total
427--- hours on PvE characters
119--- skills left to unlock
7----- weapon upgrades not unlocked at all
34 ----weapon upgrades not maxed out
12---- Runes left to unlock, all superior
Spent- 3000 out of 4785 faction
-I have only unlocked a few things with faction, a Zealous Axe haft, axe grip of defense, and a sundering axe haft

I have a total of 15 skill points on three characters that have earned a total of 182 skill points.

I find skill points hard to come by. Finding a group for UW/Fissure is not that hard, but finding a group of competant players is.

Why look up all this information? Why not? I found it to be very interesting to see the percentage of things I have unlocked after the equilivant of almost a month of playing. I also had not realized that my PvP players had gotten so much time in.

So, where does everyone stand?

how do you check your stats like that? I have NO idea how many hours I have played or whats left to get as far as skills.

/age

gives you the hours you've played.

I've played 70 or so hours last time I checked.

You may type, /deaths /age /etc.

I googled it one day because I was bored and was trying to find out all the commands. Just go to like ign.com of some sort and search "cheats" (lol) for guild wars and you should get the commands.

ATM I am at work but will try my best to sum up my character(s) ... the blanks will be filled in when I get to Balthazaars Priest and check out my official status ...

over 800 - hours total
--- hours on PvE characters
about 30- 40 --- skills left to unlock
----- weapon upgrades not unlocked at all
----weapon upgrades not maxed out
18 ---- Runes left to unlock, all superior
Spent- (not sure what your referrng to here skill points? 478-40 438-448 tops)

underworld xp runs are the fastest way to gain xp. 25K in 40mins, unless you can solo it, then its more like 10K 15 minutes.

/age for time played and you can add/subtract it between your pve and pvp characters as it lists the total time across all characters and the amount by the current active character.

Skills can be worked with the database here versus what you have on each character and use simple math or by using the different skill trainers and balthazar priests to count up how many you have missing. The same method can be used for runes and weapon fittings, using the balthazar priest route. It might have loopholes in going that route with the weaponfittings, because i know i have found drops that fit between the item listings for weapon upgrades.

370 hours probably 1/4th of it pvping.
190~ skills left to be unlocked
8 superior runes left to be unlocked
85% of all mods unlocked, most at half or 3/4 strength

I don't have the interest to grind out skill points :-/

2 accounts.
Total play time: about 700 hours on 1 account and 500 hours on the other
PvE Play time: About 600 Hours on my first account (it was really only PvE until I unlocked a lot) and like 100 on my second account
PvP Play time: 100 hours on 1 account and about 400 on my other account
Unlocked Skills: All skills unlocked on both accounts
Unlocked Items: My PvP account has every single item in the game unlocked and maxed. My other account needs about 30K faction to finish.

Skills were a combination of PvE and faction about 50-50 on my PvP account and almost 100% PvE on my PvE account. Items were mostly Faction.

unfortunately /age is not accurate since they reset all the characters about a month ago.

as for the rest i ahve better things to do with my time then count spells i do not have

Ok the age was reset, but it has been restored.


and why did you post to say that you have no interest in posting????????????????

Someone please delete the post I am refering to. It is just wasting bandwidth and space.

Here I am:
799--- hours total (I spend a LOT of nights idle in random outposts dancing, so that # is bull to actual time played. This is also over a 3 month period.)
799--- hours on PvE characters (I couldn't tell you the amt. of time on my pvp slot, so I'll just negate it.)
None--- skills left to unlock
None--- weapon upgrades not unlocked at all
43 --- weapon upgrades not maxed out
14--- Runes left to unlock, 1 Major
Spent--- 0 out of 1490 faction

I have a total of xx skill points on three characters that have earned a total of xxx skill points. (I've deleted one character completely through game, so I can't determine this.)

When you start to statisitically analyze a game it no longer is a game but a statitstic and ratio. I don't care to keep up with any of that, it's not important. Play the game, forget the statistics. Man if I caculated all that stuff with other RPG games I would never finish any of them. But, since I don't I finish them all except Daggerfall and Morrowind cause they really have no finish, especially Daggerfall, greatest RPG ever made.

Daggerfall was about as large of a black hole for time as civ was early on.

Age: 436 hours
Skill Points Needed For UAS: 62
Superior Runes Needed For UAR: 3
Min Weapon Upgrades Locked: 6
Max Weapon Upgrades Locked: 40
Faction: 3485/13485 (spent 10000)

Total hours (99% PvE) - 1,274 since early May
Skills left to unlock - around 300 excluding elites
Mods to get - none
mods to max - 18
Runes - 21 superior and 1 major to get.
Skill points on characters - 51 on my monk, around 15 on my other 3 characters combined.
Faction - earned 986 and spent 0

1000 hours last 2 months, UAS, 2/3 of runes unlocked, dont know about weapons - not that much, played 5 chars trough PvE most of the time.

*sighs* statistics
You can't measure happiness with statistics....

The point of the thread had nothing to do with satisfaction within the game. It was a query to gain information, which will probably be used elsewhere.

852 hours played in total - 369 hours on the pve chars

33500 out of 37950 faction spent
most faction gained in tombs, some in gvg and very few in arena

still 14 runes left to unlock

9 mesmer skills, 10 monk, 12 ele and 14 warrior skills locked

most necro and ranger skills locked because my ranger/necro is only lvl 16.

way too many upgrades locked

on my 2 lvl 20 chars i have 1 skillpoint out of 117 left.
my lvl 16 has 18/26.

Well, I love statistics. I had never looked into how much I had unlocked on a full scale. I had looked to see what runes I could sell as unIDed and what runes I should ID, but there is a lot to look at.

Thank you to all those that replied with the stats. I think I have seen a trend of hours needed to unlock everything being in the 800-1000 range. There are several extremes on both sides, but on average this seems to be the trend.

Speculating that the posters with hour numbers in excess of 300-400 hours started playing pre-faction, the question for the future, is:

Has the number of hours required to unlock all skills, runes and the majoriety of upgrades gone down for a player that started after the introduction of faction.

I am sure that the devs had tested this, but these are real world numbers.

I personally have probably lost out on a couple thousand faction playing pre-faction. Many players could have easily missed out on tens of thousands of faction by the time faction had been introduced. I remember there being someone rank 6 while I was beating the last mission just over a week after release. I had maybe 2-3 fame by then.

While I ramble I should be unlocking a couple more Elites or something.

Here is the Link for the post that started. I probably should have included that in the first post, but alas.

Guild-Hall similar thread

I don't know my item unlocks right now, but I can tell you the rest.

Total hours: around 400
Hours spent PvP: around 100
Number of skills left to unlock: 25 (courtesy of some jam-packed skill point- making sessions). So yeah, UAS isn't too big a deal for me.

Skill points: Well, I had 4 lvl 20's, I did all the skill quests, and all of my characters have 1 or 2 skill points left, so you do the math. All I have to say is that I can do the pve missions blindfolded, and they got pretty tedious at around pve char #3.

The more numbers I begin to see, the more the truth comes out

420 hours played.
All skills unlocked.
9 runes locked (repeat rate was too high to continue Ettin genocide, will faction the rest)
6 upgrades locked
1022 faction left, didn't track what I spent but it was zero for skills.
Faction unlocks were limited to a few max upgrades.

There isn't nearly enough PvE content to obtain the skill points required for UAS through anything resembling normal play. I did every skill quest in the game for every profession, ascended four characters (doing missions with each up at least the Ring of Fire), and still had to farm XP (scarabs/golems/underworld) for skill points.

I probably spent almost 250 of my 420 hours played unlocking skills. I'm sure it can be rushed a lot faster, but still... That's an awfully long time.

385 hours 28 minutes in the last 3 months

114 skills to unlock
24 runes to unlock
57 upgrades to unlock
14,000 out of 15,984 faction spent

Im currently on my 4th pve character, this time doing all the skill quests. The first character I made, I pretty much bought all my skills, which made it hard to get anymore skill points.

I've pretty much spent all my faction on runes that I needed and staff heads, since I pretty much only play monk when we gvg. I also have all the decent monk skills that I need for gvg.
