>Guild Wars Reforged begins with a series of updates to Guild Wars that will be completely free to existing players and make it easier than ever for new players to experience it all firsthand.
GW1chads we're so back, go get your mesmer runes because the market's about to blow up.

thank you mr marketer.
is this visual enhancement on a separate client and cna I then play with people on the old anet client?
>>
>>726212942
I think for now it's just an update to the existing game to consolidate it into a single package you can buy instead of having to figure out expansions + bonus missions, and probably also engine updates to make sure the game keeps working on new hardware. The web also says they verified it for Steam deck.
I'm just happy to see arenanet is committed to keeping the game alive, I jump in every now and then...

It's already weird going in right now since you'll be using their NPC Heroes instead of grouping up with real people, and the current meta-progression path involves playing it out of chronological order and backwards, like Nightfall>EoTN>Factions (Prophecies doesn't really progress your power in any way)

>>726217718
You don't get Heroes unless you start with Nightfall first and Prophecies is always the recommended starting point. He can, of course, play with Henchmen. But also GW is arguably more popular than it has ever been at the moment.
>>
can already tell branding this update as "Reforged" was a massive mistake
>>
>>726217893
>Prophecies is always the recommended starting point.
Starting Proph solo is a pain. It was made when there were still many players around so you could always pug up. Now you'll be stuck with henchies who use the same skills for 90% of the campaign
>>
>>726217292
No, you'll have a better experience because of all the new/returning players who usually try to play content in order, instead of rushing their way through the game solo for the sake of achievements.

So if you have one game you unlock the other two except eye of the north that wasn't mentioned.

Me, I dicked around with a beta client almost two decades ago but never got around to actually playing because I wasn't and I'm still not interested in a forced multiplayer experience, this seems like they'll make it more easy for antisocial retards like myself who missed the original game to jump into.

Prophecies' campaign also has pseudo PvP missions with base capture objectives that need micro and a half-decent party composition. And those whatever wards in the last area island. Really can't recommend starting with Prophecies unless you have 4~5 friends to play with, or jump to Nightfall's campaign when you reach Lion's Arch.
>>
>>726217893
It's Factions until Kaineng. Then you do Nightfall and Prophecies last. Prophecies main benefit is the part up until Tyria which is way more fun for some reason. Lorewise it might be smart to finish the games in canon order though.

It was initially an MMO, 3rd expansion added Heroes, NPCs that you can fully control, gear, spec, turning it into something like those RtwP RPGs but without the pause.

That's neat. Better UI scaling is a big one, playing at 4K, everything in the hud is very tiny, even if you set it to max size. My guess is that they are adding controller support in preparation for a console release.

Did you guys have any favorite profession setups? I was a classic Wammo and figured I was a genius when I used Mending and Watchful Spirit for a permanent +5 health regen and -2 energy and only used adrenaline skills.

I also remember finding a black dye on my first character, like just after pre searing and then using it on my shitty chestplate because it only sold for 1 copper at the merchant.

It had the best PvP of any MMO. Hell, it had inbuilt systems to allow you to watch your buddies and watch other people/tournaments IN the game back in 2006 and yet no games copy this as a regular feature. The game was originally PvP-oriented and the PvE stuff was added to give players something else to do.
There are three campaigns (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall) and one expansion.

>>726219420
Originally (after Nightfall) players could only bring 3 heroes, so you still needed at least one friend to have a full group of decent builds, then at some point when they started maintenance mode they unlocked the limit on heroes and made everything soloable pretty much. Even to this day the UI is limited to controlling 3 heroes, you have to keybind the rest, they'll probably fix that with this update finally lmao.

Problem with the PvP is that the devs had to play a constant game of whack-a-mole with the flavor-of-the-week meta, taking a toll on the devs. Poor guys didn't even have an official forum to post their weekly rebalancing and had to rely on GWG forums to communicate changes.

Josso Essher (and Crystal Desert more broadly) filters new players who listen to /v/ and start off by henching their way through Prophecies.

This. GW1 never felt like an MMO to me. It felt like a really long co-op campaign game. I duo'd it from Prophecies all the way through Nightfall with my wife forever ago, and we later came back for EotN. We tried getting into GW2 but after a while finally gave up on it. GW1 was way better for what we enjoyed about the game.

The only similarity is that they still kept the horizontal progression. Anything else might as well be a completely different game, which is exactly the issue because one of the defining parts of GW1 was the extremely robust class and skill system. Not to mention the massive dump they took on the actual lore.
>>
My problem with GW2 is that it has so many cosmetics that it clashes with the original atmosphere it wanted to create. You go to Lion's Arch and everyone is dressed like clowns.

I remember my friend was bugging me to play GW1 with him and told me I could pick any of the games to start, so obviously I went to the store and looked at the box arts and one stood above the rest...
>>
>>726221310
Eye of the North not introducing new classes or elite skills was always disappointing to me. It's PvE only skills are also OP and basically power crept the fuck out of the game, mandatory to run the cap of 3 of them on every build because they're that broken. Dungeons were neat I guess, but I don't really enjoy doing them that much. Also I preferred the old mission out post system.

The /vm/ guild is starting its 'seasonal' Factions run in January if you want to play with others.
>>
>>726221564
Factions would have had the best story but it dropped the ball with Shiro In my opinion. I thought for sure there was going to be more to his betrayal, with how suspicious the story with the emperor sounded and the bizarre circumstances surrounding his murder, but nah Shiro's just an asshole that just felt like going full evil that day. Mehhh.
>>
>>726220813
I love the city visually, but it the mobs there are gigaAIDS if you're a melee. Factions seems specifically designed to make rolling an Assassin the most miserable experience possible.

The writing got gradually better throughout the series and EotN is the best, but unfortunately its story at a conceptual level is the blandest in the whole series, and it's retroactively tarnished by being a blatant lead-in to GW2. But the character writing is actually decent and there are multiple characters I like instead of 1 or 0 like in the other campaigns.

It looks like ass though. In a charming way I guess but I wish we were able to see more of the non-shantytown slum areas of Cantha.

I hope there's an inevitable balance patch where they kneecap mesmer in PvE. Those bastards have hamstrung the meta for too long. Some hero-only skills or something to make melee heroes even remotely viable would be nice, too.

The emperor was suspicious as fuck too. I forget exactly what was going on but I recall he was acting oddly in some way, sending people away or something so no one knows exactly what happened in that place where he died. Leaving me with the lingering feeling there had to be more to it but nahhhh
>>
>>726222421
No, not like it matters there far more powerful farming builds and people stacking consumables can basically break the game and solo elite areas like DoA.
>>
>>726221934
I went with ranger the first time I played it and it was fine. Having a pet to aggro enemies made many parts quite easy. Just avoid elementalist the first time.

There's nothing to nerf. They only work in like 3 areas.

>>726221934
Dervish if you want melee, Elementalist if you want a caster, Ritualist if you want to erect sentries. Necromancer is probably alright, too. Anything else is fine except Monk, because healing your way through a campaign with henches kinda sucks.

They have paid service that turns your existing characters into Heroes "Mercenary Heroes". It's a bit P2W since you can use that to access 2x Rit heroes that's in every PvE meta comp.

I was disappointed at how little we got to see of Kaineng in GW2 and what there is feels a little to clean and sterile for me.
Also the Jade Electricity thing while a neat idea just did not feel right for me in the setting, I dunno.

But I was glad we got to go to Cantha again.

The EoD devs biggest crime is the wrong color of the Jade though

GW2 was alright and had good gameplay. The story of the short chapters that came after the campaign were hit or miss often. But they also had weird decisions on what to prioritise and were overall too slow catering all audiences. WvW for example took years to get new material and some of it was rejected.
Still liked it though.

You can play all the campaigns on any character, but you'll come into it part way through the story. If you want to play Prophecies (the Ascalon campaign) from the start, you need to roll up a character for that campaign, for which there are the 6 core classes available: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer.
