GuildWars

[Neo] · #1 04-20-2006, 11:01 AM

Hello,

Let's talk about GuildWars the official compatitor of World of Warcraft (Which sux in my eyes, but this topic is not about that)

I Bought the game a while back, the only minor point I faced was that I had a small '20 hour' try-out, which is way to short to get to know the game, pitty, but still I bought it cause other people told me to.

In the beginning it's fricking hard to understand but after a while the addiction starts.. I Have the luck that I'm home 24/7 for a while so I could play a lot.

The game is great, large and very variable. You have a choice of 6 different characters who all have a 'own' story.

In a short while the expansion comes out, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it, allthough I have 4 lvl 20 characters (which is highest) and have everything I need, I'm having a break on GuildWars till the expansion comes out.

If you have experience with Guildwars please tell me what you think of it, if you have opinions or question about the game please feel free to share it!

I Guess it ain't a real populair game?

oddveteran93 · #3 04-22-2006, 04:22 AM

Is Guild wars like a MMORPG type of game?

Cyber-Slig · #4 04-22-2006, 04:31 AM

Guild Wars as classed as a ''Free MMORPG'', but it's utter crap. You can't see or interact with others unless they're in your group or going to an instance with you, and a lack of character customisation. I hardly doubt it's going to beat WoW, which currently has 5.5 million subscribers, and an expansion pack coming out this year.

[Neo] · #5 04-22-2006, 04:39 AM

Wrong there Slig, very wrong, first of all, in guildwars you can interact with everyone, as long as your in public places, such as towns, outposts, missions, once you created a party, you can also talk in 'party only'

All
Guild
Party
Whisper

So that pretty much means you can talk with everyone you want

Once you left the outposts/missions/towns and move in the battlefield, you get a 'own' world where no others are except you and your party.

And next: WoW has 5.5 million subcribers, people are going to boycot WoW know why? there paying to play the game for over 2 years, and all of a sudden they have to pay for the expansion aswell. Which means they lose customers, GuildWars brings a expansion every 60 months which costs 45 euro's, Arenanet is pwning WoW in the long term this way.

/teh Neo

EDIT: Lack of character customation?

There are 20 armors for each characters, all different price classes, from 1.5k armors to 500k armors (per piece)

Also, you can dye your armor pieces ALL colours you want, you can mix your own dyes which makes you unique, and the character faces and body's have enough customation.
There are 140 armors, and when factions comes out, there are 280 different armors pieces, and 8 more new dyes, which means there are 16 different dyes... You can mix all and get all sorts of colours, your character can be more then unique.

Being in a public place isn't helping much. It's not like an army of Ogres is going to come out of nowhere and try to blow the place to smithereens. In WoW, you can interect with anyone, anywhere.

And why will they boycott? It's been out for 2 years, like you said, why would anyone want to play a game for 2 years? Because it's a fun game.

Every 60 months? 5 years for a new expansion? 0_o

WoW has over 280 pieces of armour, much more. And while you may not be able to dye them, you can atleast customise your characters completely at the start.

oddveteran93 · #7 04-22-2006, 04:58 AM

I'm not really into MMORPGS. I only very rarely play Maple Story. I truly hate Runescape, Adventure Quest and most MMORPGS in general because they call it "FREE" and when you play. You can barely do anything in the game. If you wanna do anything else, you have to be a member. NOTE: I have nothing against Guild Wars or World of Warcraft.

[Neo] · #8 04-22-2006, 05:07 AM

Why wud you pay monthly and pay again for a expansion? that's just idiotic, and about the armors, in 10 days it has 280 armors aswell

and about the boycotinng, you will notice soon enough.

GuildWars came out later then WoW.

Why would anyone would like to play a game for 2 years? Because it's a RPG you PAY for, people keep playing it cause else they think it's a waste of there money.

And read my first topic, this topic isn't about WoW.

Not the other faction...

Sorry for bumping this, but what the Hell?

First their fans, but the creators? 0_o

It might have been some fans buying the domain and made it redirect to guildwars

Havoc · #13 05-03-2006, 12:27 AM

Haha, WOW is gonna get owned. XD

Why? Because the crappest game in the world made fun of them in a URL? 0_o

Havoc · #15 05-03-2006, 08:09 AM

No, because WoW outlived their originality. Plus, it won't be long before people start to realize that paying for a game genre which could easily be free is being ripped off.

And MMORPGs have been free since when?

WoW has plenty originality. 6.5 million subscribers now.

Coolmanbizkit · #17 05-03-2006, 09:14 AM

At least Guild Wars hasn't killed anyone.

Games can't kill people. Unless the game has some kind of razor-bladed edges and a machine gun inside it, no.

Havoc · #19 05-03-2006, 10:49 AM

Games can't kill. But they can provoke someone killing someone else for stealing their virtual sword...

And as far as I am aware, Guildwars IS a MMORPG, and is in fact free. So why can GW be free of charge and WoW with their 6.5 million subscribers can not?

Cyber-Slig · #20 05-03-2006, 10:50 AM

Because GW sucks?

And I am a WoW player, and I'm not bothered with paying, and playing GW would be the last thing I ever want to do. Half the rest are the same...

Havoc · #21 05-03-2006, 10:52 AM

If it sucks because it's free... I would so love to see you react to a free sample at the mall XD.

Cyber-Slig · #22 05-03-2006, 10:54 AM

I'd say no.

You can't make your own char, you have to choose from some set characters.

You can't interact with other people unless you're in a public place or in their party.

Plenty more. GW may have pretty graphics, but that won't stop it from sucking.

To each his own, I guess. Nevertheless, making a link like that isn't too mature on GW's part.

Edit: And bizkit, what's with your sudden emo rage against Blizzard?

The Customer Support sucks...
I got banned 4 months. After reporting my account being hacked and taken over.
The guy said they were testing if my secret question worked. : /
So, First. FOUR months. That's a while for a reply. Yeah, They have alot of players. BUt they should have more people.
Alos tey want me to send a passport to them to un-ban me. It's not worth the trouble.

What? Well why didn't you tell me? Say the details and I'll get it sorted...

That sucks though, I see why you're mad

[Neo] · #25 05-07-2006, 01:59 AM

Cyber Slig, you really are thickheaded aren't you? I Mean, even your arguments prove that GuildWars is way better then WoW.
Making a link like that gives publicity and makes WoW people realise GW might be better since it's free, the only reason people play WoW that much, is cause when they payed for it, they want to get there money out of it, and come on, how 'important' is it that you can't interact in places? I Mean, come on dude, your arguments suck, you can edit your character enough, there are about 9000 different styles, and I'm not even talking about Factions YET. The graphics on GW are better then on WoW, you just gave the argument that GW sucks cause it's free... Stop making a fool out of yourself, if you read my 1st reply closely, it says: This is not a WoW vs. GW topic?

Btw CS, have you tried playing Guildwars? I believe you can not judge it before playing it

... I have in fact tried WoW, and it just doesn't have that... Addictive feeling. Like, I didn't really feel 'in' the game. It was just charact walking around talking with others, and slaying creatures... -_- Whutev.

Im getting Factions soon, and I can't wait

Umm... level up and do something cooler, maybe?

Okay, ''teh Neo'', you don't seem to be getting the point so I'll go over it again..

1. If people don't like the game, they cancel their subscription and stop playing.

2. Making a link like that makes people realise WoW does suck? What kind of point is that? Do you ever see advertisements on TV saying that another company is shit? That's just immature, pathetic advertising.

3. Very important. Maybe you have to wait for something and actually want to talk to someone? Or maybe you've got barely any life and are running from 3 monsters? Who the Hell's supposed to help? Not to mention you won't find as many friends. And let's not forget people who actually want to roleplay with others...

4. Point being? I and many other WoW players like the graphics, because they're cartoony. If I want an RPG with ultra-realistic graphics, I'll play Oblivion.

5. Fool? Whatever, it's only you who's making pathetic attempts at saying I'm stupid and Guild Wars is almighty. If you don't want a GW vs. WoW topic, then the fuck did you say WoW sucks in a WoW thread and say WoW sucks in the first message of this thread?

And to be honest, noone even gave a damn about this thread till it turned into a debate. So there's more proof on the popularity of GW.
