Hello! I'm new to this forum, but I've played Guild Wars for a long time, and just recently found out about this challenge! I've read several other people's attempts and journey of replaying this loved game, and decided to give it a shot myself! Edit: I've decided not to stream, but I'll post updates here.
So, here are my rules, this will also be done on a fresh account bought from the 20 year Celebration sale.
* No trading with players (unless I'm sending stuff to my alts, I will never receive items)
* No Bank or Material Storage, everything I want to keep must remain in my inventory.
* No Consumables, Summoning Stones, etc that help to play, also no tomes (though on a fresh account it won't be much help anyway)
* No usage of Material, Rune, or Weapon Traders.
* Can only use skills after unlocking them myself by quests, local skill trainers (cannot purchase skills that say Unlocked). For Heroes, I must have obtained that skill for them to use as well. If I want Koss to have Hundred Blades, I have to cap it myself. (this will allow me to easily figure out what skills my heroes can use if I restart and my heroes have previously unlocked skills.)
* Must play through campaigns in order (Prophecies > Factions > Nightfall > Eye of the North > Beyond (Maybe). However if a Non-Proph Character is used, as soon as they can, I'll switch to Prophecies and run to Ascalon to start.
* No Heroes until Nightfall and Eye of the North
*Oh yeah, and If my character dies they get deleted, the scariest rule of them all.
My Goals:
* Beat the campaigns in order and get the Protector Title, once I do that, I'll allow myself to use Heroes in every campaign to get Guardian (because I'm not sure If I can get bonuses on certain missions in Hard Mode with just Henchies)
* If I can do that, I'll probably try to aim for elite armor, maybe try to do some harder challenges like FoW, UW, DoA, etc, (though I'm not entirely experienced with those, so either I'll allow cons at that point or think of something else... I'll cross that bridge once I get to it)
* Try to work on completing titles, GWAMM maybe?
* Obby Armor? (maybe allow Mat traders since again, I'm not experiences in FoW and UW... I don't know yet)
* Complete on more professions.
My experience with trying not to die is farming the Kilroy quest for Survivor, so I think this'll be interesting, definitely challenging, but very fun. I'm excited to start on this, and to hear more from your own attempts.
This is Iron Shadow Bomb, I used a randomizer to choose the Profession, Sex, and appearance to make it interesting.
He's an Assassin starting in Factions, once I get to Kaineng Center, I'll ship to LA, and run to Ascalon to do the proper start.
I'll try to remember to take screenshots to post updates. I can see this going pretty well, and also very terribly with lots of deaths,
