Well, I know there's allready threads about this, but I was thinking this could be the official thread for the actuall game, who now has left beta-stage (that's why I consider that thread to be a little inapropriate, so to speak. The other thread has the not very obvious name: "For you who never played MMORPG's for the monthy fee" (take and add a few words)).

It's out. At least here in Sweden. When my brother said they called and said they had copies in, the first thing I did was recharge my wallet and took the next bus downtown. Now, oe hour later I am a proud owner of Guildwars (and allso a nice looking mouse pad, who quickly exchanged my old, plain blue one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />). The servers still starts at Thirsday, the 28:th April 2005 though (I think).

Now let's discuss character creation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />!

It's out world wide, I'm going to buy it this instant. Me and my brother will probably do all the missions on our own, like we did in the beta weekends. So we'll create the most PvE friendly characters. We'll then take all the time we need to unlock pretty much anything we need for our best PvP builds.

Also, those who pre-ordered get to play the 27th <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> and it's mouse pad I think, Ube.

Wow, NCSoft sure does know how to pack a game! 145-page manual, just wow!

EDIT:
I almost forgot to post the Guild Wars Online Manual.
Posted By: Rythok Re: The Guildwars thread - 26/04/05 07:21 PM
Yep I love the box and everything that's in it. Really awesome. Gaile Gray once said the manual was great but I wasn't expecting this wonderful book <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The last day of waiting is the worst...

Read throught part 1 of the manual today, will read some of part two before I go to bed.

The only thing with the package was the opening, which was a little difficult. And the box isn't of much use anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />. And I allways thought it would be white, with a warrior/angel on the front...

And about those characters <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />...

What do you mean "The box isn't of much use anymore"? What have you expected :P?

The white box with the hovering elementalist is the Pre-order box.

I have received this pre-order box several days ago, but, I think this package enables you to participate in betas only. Am I right?

I am expecting the game box anytime soon, and I am affraid it will happend much later then on 28th. That was my first and last order online.
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: The Guildwars thread - 27/04/05 05:33 AM
Nope, you can play tonight and tommorrow also.

Well, I hope for them to go after some kind of US time, so I can start playing this evening <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

So, the white box is a preorderbox, ey? Why didn't I preordet roud X-mass or something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />. Oh well...

And about the box itself, it would be nice to have a good container to keep my books/cd's in, and this box is pretty useless when it comes to that.

Anyone who have any good startertips (you can spare me the use the wsda for stareing instead of the arrowkeys, but things I should normally discover at lvl 5 (like how smart it is to do a sertain thing before that point that I didn't do) COULD prove quite usefull)? And I'm planning to read about character creation now (and after I come back from my pianolesson), so general tips there could prove usefull too. But, please, spare me the yelling because I'm a pain in the you-know-what <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

Posted By: Ubereil Re: The Guildwars thread - 30/04/05 12:48 PM
I started playing this Thirsday. I'm a lvl 7 ranger, and thing the game is slow in general (for the moment). Think I've made most quests (have NO general quests, which is kind of strange) in the beginning, and are kind of clueless on what to do for the moment. Whant new skills, getting kind of tired of the old ones...

One character is level 12, in Lions Arch.

The other is Level 5 or 6, and doing every quest in Pre-Sear Ascalon.

2 others haven't played with, but resereved names.
Posted By: Egin Re: The Guildwars thread - 02/05/05 07:33 AM
I was able to install and enter the game using my preorder box and key.

Created some warrior, looked at the world and it seemed to be very nice - that water is just unbeatable by any other game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Will log in more later, now addicted to WoW.

As for character build I would make warrior / monk or warrior / necro, I guess.

Hi all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Bought this fantastic game yesterday after reaching the end of my D2 tether.

Anyone wants to play with me I'll be around. I've no idea how to whisper ingame or contact people though. You just use character names?

Also forgotten the name of my character ATM. I'll get back to y'all on that. lvl 4 warrior/ranger. Think I prefer the ranger bit to be honest. May restart.

Don't know how you can be out of quests Ube. I get 2 for every one I finish! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Womble, there Will be an end around lvl 7/8 somewhere... And wellcome back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />!

I'll try to boost my elementalist/necro now (since I'm getting tired of my ranger and his two-key combo). He is lvl 4 and his name is Lews Thein (yes, I got THAT name <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />). My ranger i called Dendudreon Hawkeye. You use character name to wisper btw, and allso to add to friendslist <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

My brother has joined a guild btw, so if you whant me in your guild I'm not avaliable anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />.

Ok I got GW today! So I will install right now and jump in. I am sure that I will not be able to find anyone in there (you know that I always get lost. I was getting lost even in Diablo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />. Al had to drag me all the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />), so I hope that someone will find me. I will try to register as Lucretia or Luc (hope the nick is not taken from somebody else).
I will be glad to play with you people again.

My main character's name is Roscoe Thorngage. The problem with my main character is that I only play him with my brothers, I'm still trying to figure out wich class combo would work well for my secondary character. So, add Roscoe Thorngage to your friend's list, you'll still be able to see if I'm online even if I'm on another character.
Posted By: LUCRETIA Re: The Guildwars thread - 27/06/05 01:36 PM
Hey Rythok!
Lews told me yesterday that you play too. I hope we will meet in there. I had an invitation to join a guild last night and I have to tell I am very disapointed that there is no Larian Guild...

Now I am in the Black Monkeys guild <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
I wish we could all meet in there. I prefer to play with you all guys...

Rythok actually I do not have a clue how to add you to my friends... I will make a try today though. If I do not manage, I am Lucretia Redhead in there. You add me in if you like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have discovered that an Elemantalist is good if you choose Monk as a second prof. It seems to work good.
Posted By: Rythok Re: The Guildwars thread - 27/06/05 02:08 PM
To bring up your friends' list press "n". There you can add people to your list or ignore them.

As for class combos, there really isn't any combination that doesn't work well. While monk secondary doesn't complement your damage so much, an elementalist/monk can be a very good healer thanks to energy storage, their primary attribute. You can cast more heals than a primary monk before running out of energy.

Sorry to chain but i was thinking about Luc's toon and though i have not yet tried this I was thinking of making a Elementalist Mesmer or Elementalist Necro

I was thinking either Ice spells for the abilities to mess with other players and then some hexes and mana steal, that or you could go with earth spells to buff yourself and your team and hex the enemies...

If you went Earth Necro you could cast the gravity spell (the one that pulls all the enemies together and then the necro curses plus disease so they all get the curses...just an idea

Posted By: LUCRETIA Re: The Guildwars thread - 28/06/05 02:24 PM
The thing is that this game is superb. Really. All strange things happened to me...
I have found a silver dye yesterday. And I gave it for 1000 gc <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> The guy was begging me to give. When we started the trade, I told him that he should give me the money first. But Luc did not know that 1000 show up in a bar... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> The thing is that I insisted to him that he was not giving me the price I wanted. He told me I am nuts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> I had big laughs with the man. Finally we did the trade but I feel like a thief or a Mafia member. 1000 gc and imagine this : he told me that it was nice doing business with me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

One other guy offered me money to take of the clothes of my char and dance. Weirdo... I am sorry I could not kick his [email]a@#%[/email]

At the moment I am in a guild with very very young people (12 years old). They asked me to help so I could not resist... Good kids, nice polite and poor dears... they say that I am a very good gamer (Al where are you? Come here to laugh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />). I plan to help them a bit till they join the academy and then leave and I hope that I will able to join a guild with Larrian friends.

Can anyone explain what the dp is? I mean I know that when you die there is a dp that is been put to the char, when you get to town but please could someone be more specific?

Also can anyone inform me where can I find a collector to trade for Elementalist gloves and eye (that thing on the head)?

Oh please if someone has black dye please have in mind that I am interested in.

@ Egin
thnx <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: Rythok Re: The Guildwars thread - 28/06/05 03:51 PM
dp, or death penalty, lowers your maximum health and energy by 15% each death. You can remove it by either killing monsters or going to a town.

Sorry I don't know where you can find the collectors <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Posted By: Womble Re: The Guildwars thread - 26/07/05 08:43 PM
It is. Very good indeed.

Apologies for not contacting anyone. I get caught up making new chars and I find the henchmen far more reliable to travel with most of the time. I'll take down some character names and see if anyone is on tonight. I play in the international districts usually for peace and quiet. Loading times are shorter and lag is far less common there too.

Charnames:

Hairy Pie Me/N (not done much with this one, can maintain 7-8 pips of degen for a while though, good on single targets)

Ivor Pooshot R/Mo (constant good damage, poison dealer and interrupter, needs barrage-nuff said)

Sylvanna Spellsong E/R (main interest at the mo, gonna change to monk when I hit the desert though, lack of reliable resurrect makes henchmen a pain)

Sweet n Lo Mo/W (she sooo good, should make a sweet UW runner if I can copy the published build right)

Right, I'll post again in about 2 weeks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Luc: I have a black dye. Current trade price on them goes to about 5k. I'll give you it because I really don't care what colour my armour is! Save it for your best armour though!
Posted By: Merendrious Re: The Guildwars thread - 28/07/05 06:37 PM
I have the game for 2 weeks or so now, pretty good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I allready made 3 characters ( i love making new characters in bout every RPG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> )

don't know most of my character names at this moment, except my second, Eathri Lavnia, she is a Elementalist/Mesmer, doing her job very good, i'm a bit rushnig trough the game with her. But still making fun.

Is anyone in here already in a guild? is it worth it to go in a guild?

I joined Patient Relaxed People. pRp.

Valor, maker of the Ranger Spike, is the leader.

I have about 2343 ( about ) fame, and have all skills unlocked at around 400,000 faction.

I still play it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Well, I'm still new... If anyone wants to find me, my character's name is "Sophia Rynn". At least I think it is... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> Yea, thats how I spelt it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have a question though: what is the maximum level you can attain in this game? I've only heard of people talking about their level 20 characters and I'm hoping it goes further than that.

Level 20 is the max but then you still have TONS of skills to get. Because the game is about player skill and definitely not about character level. As you get lots of skills you'll just have fun creating different characters builds and trying to find a way to counter something someone else did.

So despite the low level cap, there's still a lot of things to keep you busy.

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

I want GW <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I can buy, but can't afford the system specs yet.
I've been waiting since it came out, but couldn't earn the real life gold peices I need to buy it, and a pc system able to run it on.

Altho this about to change, in a month or 2 tho <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> Finnaly my training is over, and this is my second month full pay, (not payed out yet for last month) so by the time I got enough to buy a high end pc system and GW + enough to cover may daily expenses etc. I want to make sure I won't be a lonely wanderer in the vast world.

I've always been a multiplayer guy, DD and BD are the rare cases of SP games I finished.

Keep this thread alive, so I can learn while I check my bank account frequently.

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I have been here last time.
Glad to see everyone is still around.

I have a question to those mostly veteran Guild Wars players. After spending some time with the game, does it stil keep you interested, does it still keep you involved?

I was the one who purchased both WoW and Guild Wars at the same tme, but prefered WoW and skipped GW entirely (ok I have a couple of lvl 1-4chars, that's it).

As of now, I am almost ready to cancel my subscription to WoW and maybe switch to GW.

What I dont like in endgame WoW is, that you can most of the time do just 3 things: go grinding for some loot (money), what is boring, go into instances, and every instance takes about 3-4 hours (nonstop) to complete and finally get into Player versus Player, which is carried mostly in Battlegrounds, where one BG session is somewhat 30 min, but the queue times are 2-4 hours.

If Guild Wars different? And please describe, what aspects of the game still keep you interested? Getting another cool looking weapon or another piece of armor or getting another rank in PVP as in WoW, or is there anything else whats interesting about GW?

Is GW suitable for more casual player? How long are lategame instance sessions? I understand, there isn't such term as high lvl in GW, as you can reach 20 fairly quickly, but I think there still is something that makes longer playing lvl 20 characters different from lvl 20 newbies (skills, outfits maybe?)

Ahh, and if anyone interested to get information about WoW, just ask me, I will do my best to help.

Lews is your guild still going strong? I am thinking about starting this one up again and dont really have anyone to play with. I have a lvl 20 Elementalist monk but she hasnt ascended or whatever yet so I would need some help getting to endgame and getting some of the uber skills, let me know if youre interested, I have alot of MMO PvP experience so I could be helpful.

Let me know.

pRp sort of broke apart. A few people are still in it, but not as many as before.

Now I am in an old guild. I was friends with them in Beta, and they've recently come back. I think we are still looking for a few new people, but just go to The Fianna and just ask.

We only play PvP once a week now, sceduled, but it helps us stay together, and we play CS:S and BF2 alot as well.

*shrug*

Anyone still plays this, got bored bought GW Factions this weekend. Have a lvl 11 Elementalist/Necromancer.
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 06:55 AM
I am buying factions this weekend.

Want to join my new guild? we primarily do PvE but we want to try to do PvP. they are old friends of mine im trying to get to pvp more.

I wont be able to play for like a week, but then I can.
Posted By: Draghermosran Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 07:20 AM
I've never done PvP before, always did PvE in those few free mmmorpg I played, now I did play 5 beginner battles . I enjoyed PvP.

I do think it would be hard to join your guild as I'm on the European servergroup <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Posted By: NeroJB Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 11:55 AM
PvP in GW is very safe. Its not like items break or you lose XP when you die. Its a great game for beginners to PvP. The game I am currently waiting for (Darkfall) is not so nice. When you die, there is full loot, i.e. everything on you inv and equipment can be looted.

Nothing against GW, the PvP is pretty good.
Posted By: Draghermosran Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 05:39 PM
Can be or will be? sounds very harsh, is there some sort of compensations like cheap items or high rewards for winning?
Posted By: NeroJB Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 06:43 PM
No rewards really, I liken Darkfall to the Anti-WoW.

There will be no instances, no safe zones, no uber items that you have to have to be a viable high end toon. Equipment will be more generic from what I understand, and the best items will be made by crafters not mob drops.
Posted By: LewsTherinKinslayer13 Re: The Guildwars thread - 08/05/06 10:29 PM
I love PvP but once you get into High End players it is really drama-ey. I decided to take a break, but a bunch of my friends are still in the top 20 guilds.
