lets discuss this game and its music additional music that

loved this game when it was active and still playing it sometimes

>>377303692
Yeah I log on just to kill Shiro sometimes, that bossfight was fun

It was my first MMO since it didn't have a subscription fee, but then I just went to play WoW anyway. Now I don't play any MMO. It's pretty nostalgic since I'd never played anything like it at the time, but I remember enjoying the freedom of WoW a lot more.

I loved the big explorable world. Honestly this game was the best for that, despite people saying "but it's not really an MMO!"

Going on a largely undirected quest to steal a skill from a monster in the middle of nowhere was the best. Nowadays MMOs breadcrumb and handhold until there's no joy left

>>377303743
Yeah, that fight was fun.

Sometimes I just clean some areas in the uw

fort aspenwood was ahead of its time lads. it was like a one sided MOBA

>>377303884
I really miss doing this. No MMO comes close to GW

Is the american channel still somewhat alive? I remember a few years ago i installed it again and it was still completely dead. But then i got the idea to check all channels and i found out the american channel was crowded as fuck in the bigger cities atleast. I had been europe before that and there was literally nobody.

Guild Wars in the Factions era was all but perfect; everything good about GW got turned up to 11, aesthetics, music, mechanics, excellent PvE to play, fun scrub-tier PvP to git gud at, top-shelf GvG to observe while wishing I was good enough for it.
Fuck ANet for letting it die, and fuck the painted corpse with a cash shop inside that is GW2.

I swear, faggots these days. What part about "not to be contested" was hard to grasp? Literally the only thing better about the emofag 'zicks was the Warrior armours.

Luxon had the open spaces that were actually pleasant to explore, the live free or die ethos, turtles with motherfucking cannons, superior music and superior missions.

I thought about this game recently. And I was thinking about the final missions in prophecies, and how if you combined two different hunter spirits (Greater conflagration? and Winter?) it would make all physical damage into fire, and then all elemental damage into ice.

So everyone in your group would be doing 100% ice damage to all the titans, who take more from it.

And thinking about those packs of imps where you'd have to pre-prot a player and then have them run in to soak all the initial spike damage before everyone else could come in with the clean up.

What happened to interesting PvE in MMO's. When did shit get formulaic and boring. Getting to pick skills for missions and shit was the fucking best.

WoW. They launched at the same time but WoW formula became the more succesfull one.
GW wasn't a small game. It sold quite a bit, it lasted for years, and had a large playerbase, but even all that is completely insignificant next to World of Warcraft.
And if you copy someone you copy the biggest thing.

You did get GWAMM right? you did get 50/50 HoM right?

I will never ever fucking understand this. You make a game that is pretty much the opposite of WoW. Its not as popular, but it is still a huge success and the formula worked for many years. And then 8 years later, when everybody is fucking thirsty as fuck for GW2, you make a fucking WoW copy. And its not even good as far as WoW clones go. And worse, you shit on everything that made your game good/popular for no fucking reason at all. There is literally no reason for what they did to Guild Battles.

If i were to go about buying this game how should I?
There's a fuckload of expansions. Do I just have to buy them all individually or is there some sort of battle chest?

>>377304491
Factions has some of my favorite zones in an mmo ever. Jade Sea comes to mind

>>377307021
>50/50 hom
of course

No because I needed like 2 more titles and didnt have the money or effort to farm up the party animal/sweet tooth ones.

>>377307416
battlechest is on steam it goes on sale sometimes I think

>>377307569
trilogy or GOTY edition?

>>377307416
Best you can do is get the "trilogy" Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall as one package, but you must get Eye of the North separately.
Steam has them. Might be you can't even buy directly from Arenanet/NCSoft

Will there ever be a game that gives the player as much freedom in shaping your character's role and gameplay style? Nothing beats combining skills and classes and finding clever synergies, NOTHING
I loved GW because of that even though I absolutely hate MMOs in general, as the force you to play a cookie cutter character you have zero influence on beyond fake choice like 3 specializations to choose from or some shit

>>377308745
>combining skills and classes and finding clever synergies
Secret World came close. It was also relatively difficult for an MMORPG from 2012. But the game's combat wasn't as good as GW because it was in the middle ground of old and new design sensibilities and it wasn't as expansive as GW.

Luxon had better armor designs for the classes I played and I liked the whole Jade Sea aesthetic, never cared about tree hugging goths.

secret world legends on june 26th

>>377310589
You should try it then. No idea how the combat will be but it hardly can be worse than what it used to be and that was passable.
They're "improving mission and story flow", but it essentially stays the same. Better, in fact. They're including all previously paid-for content for free and that shit was integral to the main story.
