  • Reflections on Josh Strife Hayes - Worst MMO Ever?

    I am a big fan of Josh Strife Hayes and in particular his classic "Worst MMO Ever?" review series - rest assured for those not familiar with JSH, he isn't actually saying GW is the worst MMO ever!

    Here is the video: Worst MMO Ever? - Guild Wars

    I hadn't watched this video before and although it's 2 years old now it's still as relevant as ever (of course because GW is timeless!). I left the following comment on the video, as a lot of what JSH says in his review made me reflect on why I found GW so entertaining all those years ago, and why I still do:


    "...having been an avid GW fan and player since its release, what I find that resonates with me most of Josh's criticisms are actually the things that for me make GW great and that I wouldn't change. The fact that you don't get quest identifiers to take new quests, the fact that you aren't told where Merchants are and thus don't know quite initially how the navigate the towns, the fact that you don't get told where to find specific items that crafters want, the fact that you have to painstakingly craft your builds and attribute points and test them out one instance at a time, the fact that you don't just get easily told about weapon comparisons; that "this new weapon that you have acquired is X better than your old one". These are exactly the reasons why as a 13 year old new to this style of game I found the experience completely immersive. Yes it was challenging, at times irritatingly so, but ultimately that made it all the more rewarding. It meant that I had to fully invest in the game in order to do well. It thus built a depth to my knowledge of the inner workings of the game that made me feel like a professional player (even though I was trash). Looking back, had there been all of these "Quality of Life" additions, it actually would have made the whole experience much too easy, and much too surface level. If I were to go back to Guild Wars as a 13 year old today, I wouldn't have it any other way. Still playing 19 years later with >9k hours on my account. I have a wife and a professional career now but GW remains a huge passion of mine and will do forever. Its my escape that I come back to time and time again. I'm so grateful to ArenaNet for maintaining this servers to this day and hope it will continue forever."

    I'm curious to know from others here - what was it for you that made you fall in love with Guild Wars?

  • Your Guild Wars Soundtrack - Nostalgia

    Hey all,

    So of course we all love the absolute masterpieces that are the official Guild Wars soundtracks from each campaign, however when we play the game we don't always listen to these.

    I wondered for everyone here what was the Artist, Album, or Song in particular that is for you your own Guild Wars Soundtrack. What I mean by this is which Album, Artist, or Song, if you heard it outside of the game, would make you think of GW and why?

    For me it is The Trick to Life, an album by The Hoosiers. I always used to listen to this back in the day, in the late 2000s when I was clearing DoA with the Guild "Globs of Ectospasm [GoE]".

    If I ever hear a song from that album it gives me major nostalgia - it takes me straight back to being on Teamspeak at the early hours of the morning laughing and joking with guildies as we slayed the Margonites.

    What's your own Guild Wars Soundtrack?

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    Quote from crusan
    Quote from HeavensDevil

    I farmed kveldulf for quite a bit to drop a max q8 and Mango have an 18-34 :). The one-off 18-33 is a beauty and sad at the same time ;(

    why sad? the 90% of prenerf items and q8 remains unusable in the ppl storage, for the reason not customized or no useful for a build.

    so the point is, collection is in your mind only. For example I enjoy more having enameled shield q7/13 than a q9 useful enameled, or a perfect rare items q0 shield, because always is arm 8 inconditional.

    need to ask something in you farm time, did you ever see any draconic spear drop from kveldulf?

    So far I have definitely had blue and white Draconic Spear from Kveldulf. If I get a gold will let you know.

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    HeavensDevil if you look at kama.gwtoolbox.com you'll see that actually q12 are selling for 25e. On the forums here q9 was in the last 12 months up for auction for 7a/250e. Hence I think the price for these has been fairly stable.

    Are you sure you have a q8 in this skin? I didn't think that was possible given they're only dropped from Locked Chests in EoTN or from Fenrir/Kveldulf.

  • How did Guild Wars treat you today?

    Well, that was a nice quick sale - clearly it is a highly sought after skin - maybe not very common? Nice bonus for the easy ZB yesterday ^^

    I thought it was a fair price. I checked here on Legacy and on kama.gwtoolbox and saw q9 selling for 7a/250e within last 12 months...



    Maybe I will start farming Fenrir + Kveldulf for another ;) Mozo posted a nice build for this:

    While completing ZB (Fenrir) I got this. Very happy I took a moment to look carefully at it and not accidentally merch thinking it had no value. Not sure of price for q10 but I see q9 selling for 3a/250e within the last 12 months so I guess it's worth something!

    It's also a beautiful skin! I didn't know until just now that it is based on one of the winning designs by Kura Jorma from the Design-a-Weapon Contest held in 2007.

  • Wayfarer's Reverie event full run

    Hi all,

    This service is offered between 07:00-09:00 and 18:00-00:00 (UTC+1)


    I'm offering a Wayfarer's Reverie event running service for individual campaigns (pricing below), or 270e for all 4.

    Price is per person but additional accounts (i.e. alts) come at 30% discount.

    CampaignDurationPrice
    Full*120 mins270e
    Tyria45 mins100e
    EoTN*30 mins75e
    Elona30 mins75e
    Cantha20 mins50e

    *The full or EoTN runs do not include the Shiverpeak Bloodstone. I can run this separately for a 50e surcharge (approx. 20 mins) per person (same discount applies for alts). This is a full dungeon run with the Eldritch chest at the end. I can take a maximum of 3 characters at a time for this.

    This service requires semi AFK (e.g. watching streaming services or playing on alts is fine) because players need to be able to /resign.

    If you want to full AFK the service, this will cost 125e per campaign or 450e total, as the duration required is almost doubled without /resigning.

    I intend to wait for a minimum of 3 "customers" (this can be 1 main + 2 alts) before arranging a run - ideally I will go with 7 "customers".

    There are 2 x 4-/6-man locations in Tyria which will require a team split - I will accommodate this with additional runs to these locations.

    Please reply here if you are interested – please include details of the time(s) that you are available and include your IGN for in-game messaging.

    Cheers

  • Guild Wars Virtual Identity Survey

    Hey all,

    I wanted to share with you that I just had a really interesting interview with someone who is studying a PhD in Psychology and who is researching people's virtual identity in video games. They are trying to learn whether people tend to create characters that represent themselves, an idealized version of themselves, or someone completely different. It was a genuinely really interesting and fun interview and I just wanted to pass the message on to see if anyone else would like to take part in the study. The interviewer currently has 79 out of 200 participants that he needs for his research so I thought why not ask the great GW community to see if anyone else would be interested in taking part. I have done a PhD myself and I know how difficult it is, so any help for this guy in his research would be great!!

    Here is the link for more information. You just fill out a quick survey and then the researcher will ask you to have a short interview. I just did my interview a few minutes ago and it lasted just over an hour: https://ubpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSlw8tHptYaxoIl

    The research is being conducted at the University of Barcelona. It's really interesting to discover what identity your virtual Guild Wars character represents. It turns out I view my character as someone who is quite different to myself in reality!

    Ha!

    And yes I was aware that there were other threads like this (indeed this may well be a duplicate that ends up getting removed..)! I saw the other day that Péter Kádár has 33,333 points in Wisdom, though I don't know his Treasure Hunter score!
