Yeah epic post that needs a yearly update

Didn't know whether to put this under mods thread but apparently nvidia rtx remix is out and I was wondering if anyone's tried to apply ray tracing to gw1.

Edit: in case you didn't know rtx remix is it's an nvidia platform that allows modders to apply ray tracing to older games for supported gpus.

Hi Noxie,

I don't have mercs, and I usually run a very standard hero composition with my characters, no matter which area I'm playing in (barring a few exceptions ofc).

I usually get a speed boost hero and often prefer the below build;

[build=OgmjYypM7Q8Y7YXgcfCYQXibyb]

Once the speed stuff is sorted I take care of the healing and go for these 2 to sort that out. I know they're not the most ideal builds but they get the job done. If you add an Aegis MM to this -which I often do- then you're real safe.

[build=OwYj0wPDETIDxVeETf/ONg+OoR]

[build=OwYj0oPMEOW672dVggMqHBEdC]

Then comes the Mes and the AoE

[build=OQBjAkB8QSrAIg5ZFVhQZA9AjO]

[build=OwUjMwNjDPPATS906jSUj4VdC]

[build=OgNiowM8gLyFGxc2uYsaMkJ]

If I can find a build of Aegis MM I'll post it but it's pretty standard MM with Aegis and Protective Spirit basically. This is the party build I go for usually. It's pretty average but more often than not it gets the job done.

Edit: I got it.

[build=OANDUslfSbhyBHVoB4BBE1DoRA]

For HM I throw in a Soul Twisting Xandra and switch out the signet monk (or mes) with another Earth AoE ele.

Doesn't work solo mind you.

I don't have an assassin or a derv, so I keep running with this build. I'll post other running vids too later on.

Blast from the past. This is a purely for-fun build which doesn't work in HM unfortunately.

as requested, another HM farmer, but for melee hitters this time

It can be used in other caster farms too obv, but why not vaettirs right =P

Started 1 week after release if I remember correctly. I guess that makes it 18 years. Except for the 8 9 years hiatus between 2011 and the pandemic ofc.

Quote from baguettix

why you farm in nm bro?

Your vids are cool but do you have some builds that work in hard mode?

hehe Thank you. I do I do =) I was gonna post a Necro primary vaettir farm vid today but I chose to post the paragon farming instead. I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel, just trying to come up with unorthodox stuff for fun that's it. Kinda like, do stuff that people either didn't think about previously, or didn't think was possible. You're right tho, I should post the vids in hm. Wasn't rly paying attention. Thanks for the heads up

Edit: baguettix the VoS necro and the W/D builds do work in HM (just tested) but enemy AI is much better in HM and they spread a lot when they take aoe dmg real fast so be warned. I'll post a vid for that too later on.

If it's stupid but works, it ain't stupid.

one of my faves

More on the way,

Enjoy.

Love it except the boots. Have you tried elite kurzick or eagle rest boots with that set?

Quote from Sudi

Ok gotta admit the one before was a bit of a meme one but I'm really digging this one!

wicked combo. This thread has taught me that theres a lot to mix and match but it can sometimes be difficult to find exactly the right equipment such as the sword and the shield that match perfectly with the armor here.

You know I think it must've occurred to all the old timers to develop a spiritual successor to GW1, except we don't have the skills or know-how to do it. I did my fair share of research back in the day to find out whether it was possible to learn to develop a game like GW1 but I found out that I had waaaays to go. Learning code, learning 2d 3d design and modeling, learning to work with a game engine, and then building a game...

We keep playing the old game at the end of the day.. =/ Tho I'd support a kickstarter campaign to the best of my ability if one were to start.

Quote from Emma

I really like it! It fits really nicely together, maybe the chestpiece not as much, but still a great and original combo!

Thank you Emma. The combinations weren't as difficult to invent as much as it was difficult to make them look half decent with a uniform dye. All pieces have different fabric properties as per the game's then-hi quality graphics and all pieces pretty much their own dye combination. It did test my patience I have to say.

Got super tired of the same old sets and combinations so I went out of my way to make something brand new.

Elite Lux top, Elite Templar hands, Eaglecrest legs, Elite kurzick boots, WITH

gloom shield and victos battle axe.

The one below is Eaglecrest top, Elite Templar Legs, Eaglecrest boots, Elite Luxon Hands and Elite Platemail head. It also looks good with a norn woad for head.

Last original combination is the Cutthroat look (could look better with different equipment tho)

Elite Templar top, EagleCrest hands, Monument Legs, Norn Boots with Deldrimor Knives equipped

or simply make weekends into RA sessions in general?

9 out of 10 Necromancers look too serious.

How true! And those faces... oh the faces..

Hi guys me again with a minute realization.

Did anyone else notice that the quest marker now pulsates? I'm almost certain that it didn't use to before but now it does. Not that it's the harbinger of a big update or anything don't get me wrong, but I swear it wasn't like that before.

Especially when it is in arrow form it looks kinda distracting even.

Whatchooall think?

Hi again folks. Another big update to the thread. Made everything more concise and accessible. Completely revamped the skill list on first post as well.

Hope you enjoy.

Na Im happy with the way it turned out. Without a healprot oggie this wouldnt have been possible. Except if I had more cons. Mm did a great job except at the very end. In the end Im happy with this hero composition

Hey ma dudes,

I know it's been ages since I posted anything in this thread but I've finally had a chance to try a HH that does not have Mercs in it and that is not mesmer way.

Here are the results:

I admit that I couldn't kill Fendi tho I suspect not because I couldn't but because I didn't know how to. There are two fendi nins apparently, one is the body the second one is the soul. I didn't know how to go about it so I quit halfway after a few wipes. I'll learn how to go about it and try again later maybe. Oh well.

guild wars character selection screen - Google Suche

Here's a google search yield of factions char select screen.

I wanna edit the text parts of the file for an overall better gaming experience. I was able to open it with wordpad once but not a second time. I'll do what you said with browser search. Thank you.

The reason I asked for the first ten lines is because dat files generally give away the program they are supposed to be opened with in their first ten lines. Hence the topic.

Edit: Nevermind, did a little research and I hear people have been trying for ages to no avail. Pah

Hi

If its not illegal to do so, can someone send here the first ten lines of gw.dat ? I cant seem to open the file for the life of me. Not with wordpad nor with anything else.

Quote from Neutral_CH

You make me laugh, i assume, it's funny but without any concrete relation with a potential GW3. The subject should rather be entitled: letter to Santa Claus. I thought I'd read a bit more about Anet's recruiting for a new and unknown game. Instead, i got some indigestible paving stones about "my fantasies and me".

If a video game is developed, it is first of all on an economic model. Then comes the rest (design, mechanics, etc). Factions and Nightfall were developed at the request of NC Soft, to make more money from the GW1 license. The economic system of GW2 was tested on GW1 (adding content in game = adding content in the store, a classic today in video games). Even the updates of GW1 these last years are linked to the store (discounts, new offers).

I'm not going to stop you from filling 50 pages with fantasies, but the company that would (eventually) develop GW3, is not going to take these into consideration.

Welcome IRL, that's my only thought for GW3.

Wow the pessimism 😂

İirc 7 heros were implemented after the game was abandoned for gw2 So that the players wouldnt need each other and can play solo so to speak.

Problem wasnt 7 heros tho. Even 3 heros were too strong. Gw's strength lies in coop and heros were the anti thesis of that. Perhaps if the game allowed 1 hero per char that couldve been more balanced. But wiping out coop? Bad move.

As for gw3 I'm personally lookin for gw1 with better graphics in essence. With better overall balancing of course. Be that as it may, there's probably gonna be demand for wowlike content too so I'm not hoping for this but the game might be built around the idea that there's enough content for people who want wowlike content and people like us who wanna stay in the gw1 philosophy so that everyone is pleased. I dunno that's what makes sense to me, otherwise why would they build a game from ground up?

Agreed. Here's to hopin

agree with a good update being necessary but not something for the sake of keeping the player-base preoccupied with fluff so to speak. I still have hope for a minor-midsized graphics upgrade at the very least.

Not expecting a skill balance patch but I think they fixed the ridiculous anti farm laws of days of yore with the latest update. Tho not sure %100, here's to hopin.

Happy to see more work in the way of creativity gz

My problem is sorted now. Reached out to a.net and they required me to change my password. After that no more login problems. Hope it works for you too guys.

Updated first post with this

[build=OAdUYkj6xPT8I6MHQ3k2iWC5iNQA] - Shadow Form Farmer

Tested this today, it's designed for vaettir farming but can do much more than that. Very fun to run too. Enjoy
