Have you been playing GW2 at all, by the way? The dialogue is worse than ME:A these days. When I played GW1 a couple of days ago, I couldn't believe GW2 was the sequel. How has there been such a shift in dialogue, storytelling and gameplay?

>>385423805
Why was it a bad day anon, did something bother you?

>>385424025
very different teams with very different goals unfortunately

>>385424025
Original devs left, other split away, some left during production and others after etc. People they put in charge were literally talentless intern SJWs tumblrites. Lead writer is smug, self centered and cares only for telling a story about her precious saladrace. Its not GW2 they just hijacked the franchise to play off nostalgia.

High school was just a miserable time for me. I filled the void with video games and spent the entire time wishing I could leave. Guild Wars 1 and the expansion packs really gave me something to look forward to when the day was over.

>>385425346
The necromancer was infinitely superior.

>>385425371

Lazy devs with no incentive to ever finish their game because people keep buying pre-alpha builds.

I haven't ever found a mmo as good as GW1.

>>385427739
The only MMOs I've ever liked was Runescape back in the golden years and GW.

>tfw middle school me was super excited when I was able to get a Torment Shield on my Warrior

I miss GW1 so bad...

>>385427941

Well technically, you can still play it.
The servers are still up and there are still people playing it.

>>385427739
Because GW1 is not much of an MMO, and that's also what made it great
It has no grinding tactical combat, and it has an amazing class and skill systems, and has a reasonably good story too.
You don't get those in MMOs.

>>385428128

I lost my old acc. I would have to buy the base game + expansions again

Why anet won't make a soft relaunch of gw1 on steam? I would buy in a heartbet

Do you remember any account details, like character names, email adress, character names in your friends list?
Or do you have any serial-keys/key-cards?

If yes, than contact the support asap and get your account back.

I rezzed 3 accounts this way.

>>385428935
it is possibe, with death-leveling mobs
pretty time consuming

>>385428871

Not on my country

I'm legit considering buying it again from here

http://store.guildwars.com/store/gw/cat/categoryID.67871700

I only played the Vanilla version of the game, the cheaper way to buy everything is Guild Wars® Trilogy and Guild Wars: Eye of the North®?


>>385429028

I kinda remember the Email and the character name, is it possible to retrieve the acc just with this?

>>385428871

overpriced though.

Get it for cheap on ebay.

Heck, you could even buy the collectors editions for cheap now.

>>385428935

Yes, which will give you the title "Legendary Defender of Ascalon", which you can add to your Hall of Monuments.
Even easier now than back in the days, thanks to the Vanguard Quest, which you can do as soon as you reach lvl 10.

Isn't GW1 still around?

Why are retards praising it but not playing?

>>385429239
Not true. >>385429323
Very easy, but still time demanding, altough not as much as with death leveling, though.

>>385429278
You should definetly try!
The support will help you with this.

>>385429359
Played it to death. And going back feels like being dead, it being a ghost town and all.

I think Brood War is absolutely amazing but I've played enough of it for a lifetime.

Been super bored lately was thinking trying to play GW2 again but my god, i dont even know what to do at max

>>385429359
I recently started again, though some missions are tough with only heroes

>>385429817
>od War is absolutely amazing but I've played enough of it for a lifetime
nothing

>>385429359
I also started to play it. And planning to beat every expansion with every side quests

I always see lots of interest of playing GW1 Again, Why we won't try to revive the game with a /v/ Guild? Maybe a general too

>>385430690

>OOH GOD I MISS GW1 SO MUCH
>WHY WE CAN'T PLAY IT MORE
>AHHHHH

hey guys let's go back to the game everyone we can reroll and have tons of fun

LOL NO SHUT UP RETARDED

I like this game.

I remember doing The Fissure non stop.
God, the obsidian drop rate was ridiculously low.
Don't understand how some could afford obsidian armor. You literally have to play over ten hours a day for months.

>>385430845
Ok. I'm playing now.

I hate GW2, but apparently the lead in the new expansion is one of the old GW1 developers.

I'm thinking of giving the game another try in hopes that somehow they capture old magic.

>>385431363
I'll wait for people to try it for me

Thanks anon

I don't even hate GW2, but I sometimes feel like the only real improvement was the increased race selection, and even that's kind of under utilised.

I've been playin GW1 a bit, doing some factions missions. Got my 7 year old necro to lvl 20 finally

Anyone interested in giving me your GW1 account for some steam games?

I just need to play it again, the feels about this game are too much. I never had one account of my own, too poor to buy it, used to play in friend's houses

God damn. There really is something about this game. The atmosphere. The music. It was great. Played the shit out of this with a buddy of mine. Even had the base game pre ordered so I got to participate in the beta.

>>385431807

>Charr are forgiven
It's a testament to how bad GW2 is that that point is not the lowest.

>>385433183
No they aren't at all.
Everything in GW2 has a hitbox. Everyone's kit is very similar.
In GW2 you can be a long range mesmer who does, say burning. Or a close range one that does blinds or some shit. But never vice versa. And you can tell just by what somebody is holding what they're capable of.

In GW you can take a mesmer and build to fuck casters, build to fuck melee, build to shred general enchantments, do other less viable shit, combine any of the above with any other profession, like take invuln from earth magic as a pussy button. Or assassin shadowstep to ally as a pussy button. Or go Elementalist primary with added mesmer for some weird energy tank usage. Or something else if you can think of it.

>>385433471
I think that was the best art, yes. I didn't see it on a cover though.

>>385433183
Last time I played GW2 (which is admittedly a very long time ago) they had replaced tanking damage with evading and rolling out of damage zones which lead to a lot of the harder encounters turning into dodge or die, which wasn't very fun in my opionion.
They also banked too much on their server vs server pvp mode and esports arena battles.

Agreed.

Oh I don't know if it was a cover. I wanna say it was though. Like on the inside or something when you lifted the little Velcro thing. I could be mistaken.

gold is actually pretty tough to get, the econ balancing was pretty well done. However, all the gameplay-relevant stuff could be had for relatively cheap

getting a set of 15k armor on the other hand or a perfect gold was where the money sink was or if you're really crazy fissure/chaos hands

Guildwars has the best pvp in any rpg in my opinion, competitive gvg and hoh was light years ahead of anything else in terms of depth and complexity. Pve was just as good, dual classes, linear gear/ stat progression, relatively no leveling meant tones of endgame zones, treasure/ skill hunting, honestly I could go on and on about it.

Its a shame that Guildwars 1 basically made a blueprint for how to make an amazing game, and no one has even considered using it (not even Arenanet themselves).

Let's no act like GW1 had good writing or dialogues.
You couldn't even make head or tails or the story of Prophecies without someone over analyzing it in a two hours long video.

I found my old gw1 discs the other day. Think i will replay the whole campaign and use the dudes you can level.

Okay, so it was a bad game. Let it rest at that. You don't have to create threads where you circlejerk with the other nostalgiafags and spew vitriol over GW2 without any actual, meaningful discussion.

Just let go.

>>385440605
This is true of the cutscenes themselves. Playing through it again recently, they do not do the lore justice at all. Additionally some things are never explained at all like why Shiro went rogue.

However, usually the non cutscene dialogue was decent and the lore overall is pretty interesting.

I find it really hard to get in to GW2. I log in, do a heart or two, then get bored.

I like the zones and some are pretty comfy. Exploration feels kind of nice and there are players about. Combat feels a bit floaty though.

meh

Now I never played it so maybe I'm missing something but isn't GW1 still fully playable in a good state though? Why do people always act like it's dead? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know about it most of the content is instanced so you wouldn't even need all that many people to enjoy it, right?

>>385443460
For people who've already played all the games content with human players, you simply cannot go back to playing it without them.
The experience isn't the same at all.
Even playing with one other person is a huge difference.

I still have all the boxes they came in. The best part of GW1 was the holiday events.

>>385443460

The thing is, that this game feels kinda dead, when you are in the non-instanced areas, because the majority of its players left after A-Net abandoned the game for GW2.
Teaming up with other players is harder now too. Some areas are truly empty.

Kamadan, Lions Arch and the pre of Prophecies are usually quite busy though.

You can still play it, but it isn't the same.

It bothers me that they never backported any heroes into the Prophecies or Factions campaigns

It's really difficult to enjoy those campaigns as a new or returning player now just because of how frustrating trying to do shit with minions is

>>385443460
It's an old school MMO. If there's no community it's difficult to buy items, a lot of content like the titular guild wars can't be played conveniently, finding groups to do content becomes difficult.

Because it's instanced you don't need people to run into in the wild, but because it's instanced all content is designed around groups. You can play with NPCs, but it's less effective and much less fun than finding like-minded people around town who also need to run the same things. Some major content might still have bodies around, but there's just so much stuff in the game built for group play and odds are you'll never find anyone to do it in-game.

>>385443719
Yeah but the issue is getting people to log and play

>>385432230
if you're grinding that quest to 20 in pre I can hook you up with the bot

>>385443719
For the majority of all the games content, you run 8 man teams.
Iin specific areas, you run 12 man teams.
In some PvP modes, you can have 8v8v8 and three teams of 4 vs three teams of 4 (but this mode is fucking dead).

Play through the Nightfall tutorial and move on to EOTN as soon as you hit 20, the starting quests get you up to enough heroes. Then you can take the boat to Lion's Arch and go from there. It's a ballache but it's possible.

Does she have implant scars on her tit?

As someone who really appreciated the mechanical design of GW1, does anybody else feel that with Eye of the North's otherwise overpowered PvE skills that they started shifting towards power creep of the content to balance that out, outclassing a lot of normal skills and breaking some of the class dynamics

Skills like Pain Inverter, Asuran Scan, DBS, IAU, etc

They had a hint of it in Factions and Nightfall but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was restricted to a couple of skills each campaign

>>385443927

You get additional heroes for owning Prophecies and Nightfall, though. Olias?
You might need every campaign..im not sure.

Ballad
The Ballad of Gaile and Zhed

ACT I CHAPTER I SUBSTORY I Zhed Shadowhoof entered his small apartment and sat his briefcase down on the sofa. It had been a long day, and he needed a drink. He galloped his way to the kitchen, pulled out a bottle of wine and poured it in a glass. He wiped off his horse-shoes and walked back to his bedroom. Zhed opened the door, and looking up saw Gaile Gray dressed in black lingerie lying on the bed fingering herself. The room was alight with scented candles.

"Unhhhnh unhhhhhhh, come on baby" she beckoned.

Zhed realised now that it was their anniversary. He sat his wine glass down on the armoire, and paced his way to the bed. His dick was slowly becoming hideously erect. Gaile was still on the bed, fingering herself while her legs writhed in pleasure. Zhed bent down and licked her cloven hooves, moving his tongue slowly up to her giant horse vagina. He pleasured her with his tongue for a few moments until his giant veiny cock became fully erect, at which point he mounted her. He did not insert his penis, instead he teased her, tickling her netherregions and building up to the moment of penetration.

Before Zhed could plunge his penis into Gaile's equine pussy, there was a ring at the doorbell. Gaile neighed, signaling Zhed to answer the door. Dismounting his mate, Zhed angrily stomped to the door. He was not fond of being interrupted during his lovemaking.

He peered out of the peephole, only to see General Morgahn.

"What do you want Morgahn?" Zhed yelled through the door vehemently. "Special delivery for Gaile Gray." Zhed opened the door. "Sign here please" General Morgahn said, as he ripped open his shirt and dropped his trousers, revealing his hairy chest and pubic area.

"Zhed, come back in here and bring my present with you!" Gaile yelled from the bedroom.

Zhed realised what his sweet had gotten him, and trotted back to the bedroom. Morgahn skipped along behind Zhed, happy as a clam, for he enjoyed his work.

>>385447432
Zhed stopped at the foot of the bed, but Morgahn leaped at full speed and penetrated Gaile, all in one motion. She screamed with pleasure, as Morgahn forcefully rammed his firm cock into her pussy. Zhed jumped on the bed and rammed his penis into Morgahn's surprisingly elastic ass. Morgahn let out a muffled moan as Zhed's cock erupted from his mouth, and into Gaile's mouth. Gaile began to suck furiously. Morgahn quickly passed out, but Zhed operated him like a puppet. He fucked Gaile with Morgahn's penis as she sucked his feces covered dick. Zhed's cock erupted like Mount St. Helens, and a pyroclastic flow of semen flowed out of him, filling Gaile's mouth and overflowing onto the bed.

As Zhed's cock slowly became flaccid, it began to work it's way out of the General. Morgahn awoke with Zhed's genitalia slowly seeping it's way out of his intestines.

Morgahn slid off of Zhed's cock, and sang a lullaby, sending Zhed and Gaile off into a deep slumber.

Rurik
Your mom arrived home early to find the house filled with liquid hot magma. He knew tubgirl's smell well and it put a smile on his face to think that a foul shitty liquid could be spraying from for Rurik's anus to. However something was amis and Rurik soon realized there were the grunting of multiple voices. At first Rurik assumed that Thom or Argo had cum over a small boy, but he realized that these grunts were not from either of the burly men.

Rurik rounded the corner into the livingroom and could not believe what lay before his eyes. Koss was naked, his arms crossed, and Melonni was down on all fours with her head in Koss' lap slurping on his Elonan anaconda.

Rurik paused in shock, "What, what is going on?" Rurik couldn't believe it. Melonni was Koss' beard, just like Hala was Argo's and the late Althea was Rurik's. This hit Rurik harder than one of Thom's wild blows.

Koss sat staunch like a statue and looked up at Rurik as he spoke, "I understand your shock, but please listen and bear with me." As he spoke Melonni looked up from her slurping. Precum dribbled down Koss' engorged member. She gave a glowing gaze at Rurik and yanked the black hair on Koss' satchel stretching it further than Rurik had ever seen and a shower of Koss' white dye erupted and rained down on Melonni. "Please Rurik just relax and this special night I have for you."

Rurik felt hands moving up his midsection and massaging his nipples, now rock hard. He didn't know who it was but they were very good feeling their way through. He turned around and it was Kormir. Before he could say anything she had slipped out the royal member and began sliding her tongue between Rurik's penis and foreskin before sliding it back revealing the prince's crown. Rurik was disappointed. Kormir was good, but unfortunately no woman knew how to properly give a blow job and she was no exception.

>>385447594
what is going.

>>385447594
Rurik looked up at Koss who had his tongue deep within Melonni's ass while she grinded Koss' embossed spear beneith her heel. Koss removed his tongue, "Go ahead Rurik, I know you have always wanted to."

A thought crossed Rurik's head. It had crossed it before, but only in his wildest fantasies and it never occured that he might actually be able to do it. Rurik hesitated while Kormir began juggling his package and fingering his private entry. Rurik placed his hand on top of Kormir's head and slowly slid it down to the side. With a gentle cradle with the rest of his hand, he moved the bandage off of Kormir's eyes with his thump. Without hesitation he slid his fiery dragon into the empty hole. He couldn't believe what was happeneing.

He didn't move and just observed Kormir. She put up no resistance and instead slid all of her fingers, then the rest of her fist into Rurik. With the realization that she enjoyed it, Rurik relaxed and just realized the sensation engulfing his now fully engorged member. It was loose, warm, and very slimy, yet it was absolutely amazing. This was better than the glory hold with the rogue bull on the other side. Rurik started with a slow pace then let loose a flury of thrusts.

Koss walked over and looked in Rurik's eyes, "I knew you would enjoy it."

"Oh, its a dream. Its amazing. I can't believe this. I'm sorry I ever mistrusted you."

Koss smiled and kissed Rurik. His breath still smelled of asshole. Koss ripped Kormir's bandage off completely. He placed both hands on Kormir's head holding it in a firm grip. He spoke a single word, "Incoming!" then vicously thrusted forward while yanking Kormir's head forward.

>>385447690

The two of them slid in and out and around in Kormir's head feeling over every inch of what Abaddon had infested. With one final thrust both warriors clinched her head tight to their crotches each quivering as they release their juneberry gin into the paragon. They pull out and both collapse. Cum ran out of the sockets down Kormir's face. She touched the trail and guided it into her mouth.

"She loves this kind of thing," said Koss, "She just have cum on the brain."

"Koss, I don't think this could possibly be more perfect."

"Oh honey, we are just getting started."

Gwen & Thom
Chapter 1 Torn Curtains and Broken Flutes

It was a bright day, and the sun gleamed on Gwen's black hair. Highlighting her girlish features as Little Thom passed her. "Hi Thom!" Gwen shouted as he passed. "DON'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT OR I'LL RAPE YOUR PUSSY WITH AN AXE BITCH" Thom replied. ":O" Was the last thing to escape Gwen's mouth before Thom wrenched her from the ground and whisked her to the dungeon underneath Ascalon City.

When Gwen awoke her head felt like a watermellon, swollen and juicy. Soon she would find out it wasn't the only thing swollen and juicy in the room. She scanned the room with her eyes, until she noticed a dark figure in the fetal position, naked, in the corner. She realized it was Thom, doing something quite painful to his netherregions.

"Let me out of here!" She tried to scream at the top of her lungs, but found her throat too clogged with semen. Thom heard this futile gargle and arose from his nest of tapestry porn. Slowly he turned around. Gwen squinted to see him in the dark corner, noticing a flash of red light coming from where his genitals should be. She didn't want to look, but her eyes were drawn to his mutilated genitals. To her horror, Little Thom had torn off his own testicles and scrotum, only a bloody hole betrayed where his manhood once was.

"SUCK IT, SUCK MY HOLE" Thom screamed. "Gwrgrgwgwrrhww" Gwen's mouth was still choking with the sticky substance. "SUCK IT YOU FILTHY WHORE, SUCK THE CLOTS FROM MY HOLE SO I CAN EJACULATE BLOOD INTO YOUR NUBILE MOUTH." Thom's face was beginning to turn bright red. He didn't have time to waste if his masterpiece was to be completed before his audience arrived.

>>385447854
Gwen leaned forward off of the stone slab where she was secured and opened her mouth, cum dripping out of it. Slowly she put her lips around Thom's wound and began to suck. Clots of blood began to release and soon a steady stream was pouring out. Thom was becoming lightheaded, not from the loss of blood but from the pure ecstacy of the moment. This was the penultimate moment of his adult life, he tried to hold out and prolong the moment. His effort was futile, he let out of massive stream of blood into Gwen's mouth, so much so that she had no choice but to swallow some of it. As Thom climaxed, Gwen swallowed more and more of his blood, her belly becoming ripe. It was at this moment that Prince Rurik, the audience Thom had been anticipating, arrived.

"Hello Master Rurik, what a surprise!" Thom exclaimed, his face losing most of it's color, due to his reserves being empty. "What's going on here Little Thom?" Rurik asked, looking at the horrendous sight in front of his eyes, feeling perplexed and a little arroused. "I've been preparing a little treat for you, ripening it with my own sweat and blood. Behold! Gwen, the preteen whore queen of all Ascalon, ready to slake your desires!"

Rurik approached with trepidation, he had dreamed of a moment such as this all his life, but never had he imagined it could come true. His hands sweated and his armor rattled, he licked his lips and said under his breath: "For Ascalon."

He rolled the near unconcious Gwen over on the slab, and penetrated her. He was having the time of his life, when Thom interrupted. "Prince Rurik, take my royal aid!" Thom tossed him his severed penis. "Praise be to you Thom, you are a true servant of Ascalon!" Rurik penetrated her anus with Little Thom's severed genitals. Slowly he worked it in and out, but on his last stroke he pushed things too far, a fount of blood and fecal matter sprayed from her anus, soaking the Prince's royal attire. In a fit of rage, Rurik snatched Gwen's flute, and called to Little Thom. "Thom, this bitch has got to get her cumuppance. I want you to break this flute, and toss it out on the other side of the stream. She'll never be able to get it out of the clutches of those stinking Skale!" "Master, your mind is truly that of a genius!" "Quick Thom! There is no time to spare!"

Chapter 2 Experimentation

It had been two days since Gwen's horrible, yet liberating experience with Little Thom and Prince Rurik. She awoke and decided that today she would find her flute, fuck Sir Tydus, come home, eat dinner, and masturbate to the thought of Little Thom's bloody hole before drifting off to sleep. However, today would not be that day. As she wiped the sleep from her eyes, she looked out of her bedroom window and noticed the sky was ablaze with burning fire. Sulfur and brimstone were falling from the sky. Quickly she got dressed, in her finest latex undergarments, and ran to the safest place she knew. The catacombs beneath Ashford Abbey. As she entered the centuries old catacombs, she took a torch from the wall to light her path. As soon as she settled on a spot to ride out the storm, she heard a faint sound. "blurgrggrgrrgrgohrigormortiscockissoharddfdglcntgetenufgrgr" Gwen normally wouldn't investigate something such as this, but she felt a stirring in her loins that beckoned her to go nearer. When she finally approached the source of the noise, she found Eve, back hunched over the the hunchback of notre dame, riding the decaying cock of King Adelmianus, the great great grandfather of Prince Rurik himself! "I'm going to make you cum until bile spews from your little shriveled cock!" Eve roared with a massive grin. "Uggghhgghgghg" King Adelmianus replied.

Gwen slipped, and revealed her position to Eve.

"You little whore! You're the one who made Thom break his appointment with me! Get over here, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Gwen walked slowly towards Eve. Eve dashed at her and ripped her clothes off, revealing her latex panties bra. The bra was much too large for Gwen's physique, but the panties were skin tight revealing her well toned, supple buttocks. Eve gasped, the sight before her was breathtaking.

>>385448124
"By Grenth's pock marked anus" Eve muttered in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, what had just fallen into her hands. Eve praised Grenth and decided what she must do. She took Gwen by the wrists and chained her to the wall, the chains were so high off the ground Gwen was suspended in mid air. Eve slipped the latex off of Gwen's bottom and pushed her back against the wall slowly. A carved stone dildo inserted into Gwen's anus, for stability purposes. "Unghgggghhhh" Gwen moaned with pleasure as it went deeper and deeper.

"I'm going to give you my babies, Gwen" Eve said quietly as she took out her staff and inserted it into Gwen's willowy vagina. She waited for just a moment, and the tore her staff out with amazing force. Blood splattered everywhere, it tore Gwen's blooming muffin to ribbons.

Gwen's screamed in agony and pleasure. Her stomache began to grow and grow.

"What have you done Eve?" "I've given you the fruit of my loins"

Just then there was a loud crash, and the sound of footsteps could be heard echoing through the catacombs. Eve heard this and ran out a side passage, leaving Gwen alone with King Adelmianus.

'
Adelmianus had heretofore been lying quietly on his slab. He saw that his mistress was gone and decided to seize the opportunity. Getting up slowly, he ambled his way over to Gwen, who was still in too much pain to notice him. He placed a small box at her feet, and climbed on it to give himself some extra height. Grabbing Gwen's mouth he forced it open and inserted his maggot filled cock into her mouth. He then proceeded to jump off the box, breaking his cock off in her mouth. Grabbing her mouth again with his hands he forced her to chew, making his cock into a fine mush of maggots bile and 140 year old human flesh.

"Grhrhrgrgrg SWALLOW IT fgdfhrehrhrhrh" he moaned.

Just then a Charr burst into the room and cleaved Adelmianus from ass to mouth. Gwen's mouth burst open, and she vomitted Adelmianus' cock all over herself. The Charr looked in disgust at her.

"RARRGRGRHRRR" He said, as he impaled her pregnant belly with his furry cock.

Chapter 3 Curtains for Gwen, and the Carpet Matches them

Gwen hanged by her wrists, stone phallus still inserted in her anus. She stared at the hair covered fleshy monstrosity that was impaled through her abdomen. Tears ran down her face, she knew the gift from Eve that had been gestating in her womb had been destroyed. Slowly the Charr Chieftain slid his massive cock out of Gwen's uterus. As he finished pulling out, two green, semen covered bone fiends flopped out of Gwen, wriggling on the floor from reflex action. Gwen looked at her babies convulsing on the floor, black bile seeping out of their under-developed eye sockets. It was the last thing she saw before she died.

Gwen awoke, suffering a horrible case of post-mortem depression. All lust for life had been replaced by a ferocious lust for cock. She looked around, surveying her surroundings. Claude was there, along with a figure she could not recognize. She wracked her brain trying to capture his identity. "Hello Gwen, I am Claude! I have resurrected you from death, you are to be my servant in this life, satiating all my needs, and all the needs of my partner here. You may know him, his name is Theodore Roosevelt." Theodore Roosevelt was in a sky blue thong that was so thin you could see the moisture seeping out of his putrid cyst. "Hallo Gwen!" Teddy Roosevelt yelled at the top of his lungs. "Gwen, I want you to get up off your bed and come over here." Claude beckoned "Good, good! Now, slide down Theodore's panties. Excellent! Here, take this knife. Now slice open his putrid cyst and cupple your mouth with it." Gwen obeyed all of Claude's commands with increasing zeal. With a great heave Theodore clinched his buttocks, and squeezed the pus from his putrid cyst. It oozed it's way into Zombie Gwen's mouth, seeping into her belly. Gwen found the sensation warm and refreshing.

"Move to the side Gwen!" Claude took command of the situation, Gwen was not to be the only reciever of Theodore Roosevelt's bounty. Sucking hard, Claude emptied Theodore's cyst, leaving only a wrinkled flap of skin where once had been a bounteous sore chocked full of delicious putrescence.

Claude held the substance in his mouth, and cuppled with Teddy. He released the load into Teddy's mouth, twirling his tongue to make sure every inch was defiled.

>>385448489

Gwen moved in back of Theodore Roosevelt and began diddling his asshole with her left hand's index and middle fingers. She reached around front and grabbed Claude's rock hard cock, caressing it with her sandpapery undead skin. Faster she moved her hand, tearing the flesh from Claude's penis until he could take no more. He grabbed her hand and pulled it off of his cock. He lifted her up and slammed her down to the ground, forcing her to land on all fours. Theodore took this as his cue. Getting down on his knees, he took out a knife and carved a hole in Gwen's back. He mounted her, and began projectile diarrheaing into his makeshift undead toilet. The revolting mess flowed into the wound in her back, evacuating via the wound in her stomach.

Meanwhile Claude had left the room to retrieve something from his closet. He came back to the room, his bloody dick taped up with razor blades. He ran to Gwen, giddy with anticipation, and rammed his razor covered cock into her mouth shredding it to bits. Gwen clawed the floor, the pleasure was too great. She clawed harder and harder until she tore her nails off.

Claude began to convulse over and over, and he ejaculated a liquidy mix of blood and semen into Gwen's shredded maw. Gwen gargled it and spat it in Theodore Roosevelt's face, who quipped "Well I declare!" As he finished emptying his bowels into Gwen's fresh wound.

Gwen passed out on the floor, and Claude carried her to her bed.

"Goodnight little gimp" He said, as he kissed her semen covered forehead.

>Additionally some things are never explained at all like why Shiro went rogue.
a fortune teller tells shiro of a vision that the emperor will betray and kill him, so shiro does it first. pretty sure there are cutscenes in factions about it. in nightfall you even find out the fortune teller was a minion of abaddon and you kill her in the torment.

That Zephyr event in GW2 was neat as fuck. Reminded me a fuckton of Elona.

What ever happened to that? I thought it was going to be a yearly thing, but they did it once then never again?

What? I remember playing for good 6-7 years until most of us(me and my friends) just moved to GW2. I don't know where did you

>By the time new gw2 expansion releases, the gw2 will be arround 2 times longer than whole gw1 was was relavant.

What the heck am I even reading here? You know why a lot of people got pissed about last expansion? Because they've made Base version F2P, giving to those, who bought it for money almost nothing and not giving even small discount on expansion... 60-80euro's for expansion? No thank you. Same will be with 2nd Exp for GW2. They will make Heart F2P and 2nd Exp will cost 60-80 euro's... copy and paste same things over and over. However game is already boring as it is, not to mention latest Lesbian lovers story is so boring and bad not many people were able to finish it.

GW1 is still around and a good game and continued to get content updates until about 2011, with the Guild Wars Beyond updates. Yeah they weren't as big but the battle for Lion's Arch quest was really fun.

So it had 6 years or so of new content and then they added a few things for celebrations like the wayfarer's reverie and the 10th anniversary weapons in 2015.

I still have fun with it from time to time it makes a pretty good single player RPG with mercenary heroes so you can run around with a full party of your own characters.

>>385453058

If Anet hadn't moved on, GW1 could be big in the Esport scene/streaming scene, nowadays.

desu the beta was even more magical. There was so much blood, it spilled everywhere, it made things much grittier than the release version.

There was always this constant struggle of realism and fantasy, something most games lack these days, it's all so pure fantasy until you puke, and there's zero contrast.

>>385453761
Discs and keys?

People really remember just how much of a challenger to WoW Guild Wars was back in the day. It was easily the 2nd biggest MMO on the market and it was mind blowing that a game with no subscription fee put out a full sized expansion per year that gave you so much content you were rarely bored while playing.

Each expansion gave you totally new character creation options, new classes, a full sized new map, new features, new *fucking amazing* music, and because the game had horizontal progression it didn't invalidate the previous game(s).

FUCK guild wars was so good.

>>385454368

>>385454728

Not him, but this is the same shit people do with vanilla WoW.

If vanilla WoW or GW1 came out today with all the gameplay as it was, only updated graphics, all these people clamoring for it would hate it. Every single one. No videogame gives you that feeling anymore because it wasn't the specific videogame that did it. It was it being a new experience.

You'll never get that again because you're not looking for it. You're just looking back at the past, wishing you could go back. Nothing is going to be like that anymore.

>>385455356
find a way to get into faction farming speed clears for luxon and kurzick titles and do survivor if you haven't.

>>385455356

faction farming on the double weekends would give you 2 relatively easy and completely free titles.

Maybe the gamer title on the canthan newyear?

>>385455356
The good luck and bad luck titles should be afk farmable if they still run those events. No idea when the next one will be of course.

Can we just talk about the bot that reposts random posts from 4chan in the Guild Wars General on /vg/?

Isn't that just sad?

>>385455701
Only problem with that is the money, I just checked I actually only have 30 plat on me. I have things I could potentially sell like racking up gold and green minis from my 7th year plus birthdays but.. I just don't have the patience to spam. I really wish GW1 had had a trading post instead of spam spam spam.

Oh man, seriously bringing back old memories now. Can anyone who remembers something about the game recommend any of the following 7 hero setups for general clearing?

Look for the OST on the web.

I had a CD with all the tracks in my game box.

You could also download everything from youtube.

>>385455642
The scenarios are completely different. If we still had the same games around otherwise and vanilla WoW was released in this market, people would compare it with its successors (and Legion) and see where time has marched on.

Nothing actually exists in place of GW1. The game and its systems haven't been tweaked, polished, or replaced, it's still unique in its existence. If it were replaced today instead, it might not be popular but the people who loved it would come in experiencing everything for the first time. The people clamoring for it would love it because they'd meet it with the same frame of reference.

>>385456402

... not really. you still have to be online to personally make the trades. It's not quite the same thing.
