>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.

>>726212249thank you mr marketer.is this visual enhancement on a separate client and cna I then play with people on the old anet client?
>>726212942I 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...
>>726212249Might finally be time to play and get the HoM shit for GW2
I don't know how to feel.
>>726213292honestly yeah, that seems to be what it is.and good on them desu. maybe it will get more people on board and give them an excuse to expand on it a little if it does well.I'll hop in when it drops
we bakc
Come home, Ascalonian man
>GW2 getting regular expansions again>GW1 randomly getting some updatesWhy isn't Anet bankrupt yet? Crowbcat basically destroyed them with the end of dragons wokeness video.
Who is this for? GW1's servers are still up, and surely the main playerbase isn't going to want to totally start over if progress isn't carried over too.Unless it's just a collection or something for steam, then whatever.
>>726215520https://guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-guild-wars-reforged/
>>726215181this is what charrs took away from you
>>726212249>Reforged
>>726215520it's literally just more updates to GW1, it's not a new game or a remaster or whateversome of the QoL promised sounds nice, but the real exciting thing here is that if they are committing to fresh and regular support, it might lead to bigger changes like skill balance or possibly even new content in the future
Why was GW2 never able to hit the highs of GW1 bros?
>>726216361No proper endgame for vanilla and then the game went full woke
>>726213292you completely ignored anon's question
>>726216458see >>726215974
>>726212249Are the retarded leaf people removed from the game yet?
>no playable charrI sleep
is it on steam?
>>726212249can i play it offline yet.
>>726212249Holy shit
>>726216604This is GW1 not GW2.
>>726216361GW1 was a crpg with mmo architecture.GW2 was a wow clone.
>>726212249I’ve never played Guild Wars 1 but always had it on the list to jump into, I heard it was fun just fucking around solo. Am I going to miss some of the soul if I only play after this update?
Oh damn, it's not a hoax
looks worse than classic wow lamo
>>726217292I doubt it, if anything it'll be slightly more soulful because it'll get a player spike for a while and then things will go back to the usual business.
>>726217292It'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)
>>726212249They're just going to fuck it up. Nu anet can't be trusted.
>>726217292If you decide to play, check out the thread on >>>/vm/. We're one of the few generals on the website without rampant shitposting.>>726217718You 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
>>726217292No, 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.
>>726212249Sigh... Guess it's time to genocide the Char menace once more.
>>726218061Nothing like Orion casting fire storm 5 seconds after the fight is concluded.
Post your favourite skill
>>726215520>Who is this for?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.
I don't really care about any of the features they listed except for HD skill icons for enhanced shitposting purposes, but hopefully it'll lead to more people trying the game.>>726215974>skill balancemesmerbros...
>>726218218https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Second_Wind
>>726213450What an ugly game
>>726217893>>726218061Prophecies' 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.
>>726217893It'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.
>>726218348total esurge death
Oh man, I played thousands of hours. Might come back to it in the future after a fifteen years break.
>>726218218Hundred Blades + Whirlwind Attack
wait, is GW1 a MMO? i thought it was more like PSO1.
>>726218619the original devs themselves never called it an MMO and used "cooperative RPG" instead
Does everything carry over to this version? I havent logged in for years, but it says my account is still active.
>>726218619It's a pseudo MMOTowns are essentially lobbies with players doing their thing but the areas between them and missions are all instanced so you travel only with the party you form in towns.
>>726218501
>>726218710it's just a patch to the original game
>>726218710Yes, it's just a rebranding for a series of updates. ANet support is good about helping you recover your GW1 account if you forgot the info or need the email changed.
So what's the most expensive shit on GW1 market these days? I remember selling ectos and other random crap on market when I still used to play.
My racist wife
I can't believe I'm going to experience Guild Wars 1 Christmas again
>>726215764Ascalon was Charr land before it was Human>>726216631This
>>726218714LOL>>726219032Good idea to do a nostalgia run.
>>726219120All land is human land.
I never played nor understood this game. Is it a mmo but like a single-player kind of mmo? A solo pve experience yet has good pvp?
>>726219146Cope
>>726219253
>>726218965Just collector items, like rare weapons. The 20th anniversary added quests to get untradeable versions of all the contest-exclusive minis like Kanaxai and Panda.Ectos and arms are still the trading currency for higher ticket sales.
>>726218996But the Charr did nothing wrong.
>>726218965
>Will get Factions and Nightfall for freeWaiting 20 years paid off, heh...
>>726219176It 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.
>>726212249That'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.
>>726219276>Doxxing yourselfOof
>>726212249>Nu-Anet couldn't even leave the old game unmolested by their feral tranny staffMan did I dodge a fucking bullet by not buying this thing back in the day.
>>726218218PI with HR is the funniest shit. As for me, favorite skill has got to be one of the anthems, I think. I just love the wings animation. Maybe Defensive Anthem or Anthem of Envy.>>726218407With the 'of the Elementalist' mod making it easier to get big energy pools, I've been dicking around with this skill on non-Ele classes. It's very cool.>>726218965Certain miniatures or specific OS items worth 1k+ arms, probably.>>726219176>Towns are hub areas with many players>As soon as you leave the town, you're in an instance with only you and your party members>If you don't have real people to party with, you can take AI henchmen, which has given it a lot of staying power as player numbers dwindle>Game was originally meant to be PvP focused with the PvE campaign acting as a glorified tutorial>Over time, the game became more PvE focused>PvP is centered on small, instanced battles, not open world PvP
>>726219452I mean you were like 4 years old at the time so I don't think you buying anything back then young man.
>>726212249I haven't played in so long I must have so many birthday presents.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.
>>726219176It 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.
>>726216361>Made with gamers in mind>Made with activists in mind
>>726212249This feels so fucking good. You have no idea.> no big changesthis.this is what gives me so much hope.They've built a system back then that is as close to perfection as you could and they know it.> old farts get a free copyI had to read that several times, because I almost can't believe that someone respects their players to that degree.
>>726216361HoT mogged all of GW1
Was there any point in the game that would actually filter people? I remember final boss of Factions using some skill called Impossible Odds that caused more wipes than I remember.
>>726219639Yeah it's a patch. It's not a completely new game or client.>These updates will take effect for all players—the new reforged edition does not contain exclusive content or updates, but it simplifies the choice of what to purchase for new players
>>726219176MMOPretty decent economyInstanced/tab targeting
>>726215520>who is this for?Me. I still regularly play with an old friend on GW1. 4k UI scaling will be very nice.
>>726219420Originally (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.
>>726219561>I mean you were like 4 years old at the time so I don't think you buying anything back then young man.
>>726219639>old farts get a free copyI have physical copies. Does that free copy only apply for people having digital version from Steam?
>>726219702>he memoryholed the Nightfall wurmsNot so fast!
>Log in after yearsYep, still looking /fa/ as fvck
>>726212249holy based
>>726219819They simplified the buying process for new players. Starting from Dec. 3, if you buy one campaign, you get the rest for free.
>>726219868Check out a Nightfall campaign speedrun, wurmfags in shambles
>>726219594Problem 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.
>>726215350>CrowbcatThe fuck are you talking about, he never did a video on GW?
>>726219702Thunderhead Keep filtered millions back in the day.Josso Essher (and Crystal Desert more broadly) filters new players who listen to /v/ and start off by henching their way through Prophecies.There are some counters you take take to shut down Shiro's bullshit, but yeah if you don't, he'll just reach Impossible Odds and kill your whole party in nanoseconds.
>>726219698This
>>726213450This looks outdated
>>726219702theres definitely a lot of stuff that will filter people if they try to play solo with henchmeneven prophecies can get pretty hairy toward the end
>>726212249I am giga excited. Now if they would just announce GW3 so I can see the 2nd one's player base kys out of spite, envy and jealousy, it would be perfection.
>>726220086I think best counter against Impossible Odds was just to stop attacking him and run away until that skill wears off.
>>726220086Yep. There is no campaign any new player is easily cruising through.
>>726219819Me too, man. I loved the game manuals and lore books like the Factions Manuscript so fucking muchI don't think it is solely for one kind of version, because after all we all have accounts, so I assume they assign it to that, like they did with the Hall of Monuments.
>gates of madness>have to fight shiro tagachi and undead lich at the same time with all their bs
>>726220207That's me. I started with Prophecies and it was a pain near the end. I had to jump to Nighfall to gather some proper henchment and jumped back to finish the campaign.
>>726212249Honestly? Good shit for the 20th anniversary. And it's free for existing owners.
I'm honestly surprised my account is still saying its active. I have not logged in for years. ANet does not purge unactive accounts? If not then I'm more than happy with this.
>>726216452>>726219632QRD?
>>726220497>mfw have to remember my character name
tfw no gw2 with gw1 gameplayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKJSC_mteIg
>>726218257lol same, had a beta disc and gave it 5 minutes with the combat before I gave upnow that I actually like offline mmo's, I'm ready to flip b/w solo and mp
>>726218257I finished all campaigns solo
>>726218257You can already solo all the content in the game.
>>726220356If you have a 7/8 heroes (most people do), you can cheese it by standing out of their hostile range, then sending your guys to capture all the surrounding god blessings.
>>726212249can i still farm griffons with a 5hp Prot Monk build?
Does 55hp monk still work in Underworld?
>>726220569Email customer support. I only remembered my email and they solved the issue pretty fast.
they're gonna retcon their GW2 shit in to GW1 aren't they
>>726219876put that ranger armor directly into my veins. I remember the bitching how female characters didn't get the trench coat.
>>726217893You can bring Heroes back from Nightfall right? Will they just melt the early campaigns or are they just tuned to your level?
>>726220728>>726220730anon-sama we are as brothers...
>>726220356>All bonuses hard mode gate of madnessThat shit was brutal, took me dozens and dozens of attempts with my friend shortly after EotN release
>>726219702I think I got filtered at Raisu Palace. I don't remember getting past it.I also didn't like the city in general. Maybe it's because I was a glass cannon Assassin, but I remember getting bodied by the afflicted groups. I only used henchmen though.>>726220569>he didn't come up with an embarrassing anime name he'd definitely remember 20 years later
What are your favorite Guild Wars memories, bros?For me, it's the clickity sound your footsteps make when you run over the Jade Sea hehe
This is not much to get excited or upset over.>These updates will take effect for all players—the new reforged edition does not contain exclusive content or updates, but it simplifies the choice of what to purchase for new players. And Guild Wars Reforged isn't about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future! If you've never filled up your Hall of Monuments, there's no better time to get started!
>>726216361Because it wanted to be a shitty MMO and as a result gave up anything that made GW1 unique.
>>726220851grabbing a bunch of shells (?) whose icon looked like the Sigils needed to start a guild and deliberately underpricing them in Lion's Arch so people tried to hurry the trade and didn't look too closely at themi made so much fucking gold then pissed all away on dyesthe dream
>want to skip this cinematicNo, I don't think I will.
>>726216361>>726220937People always say this but it's not true. Yeah, GW2 plays more like a typical MMO, but in ethos it's very much true to GW1. Gear is not the focus and you can easily can end game-ready while shit you may want to grind like titles and cosmetics exist by truckload. GW2 simply isn't a carbon copy of GW1.
>>726220774You can jump to other campaigns at Lion's Arch and pick up Nightfall and EoTN Heroes, but without a decent collection of skills they won't be too powerful. Only EoTN areas have level scaling.
>>726220851naming my PvP-only characters story spoilers. Anet didn't give a shit.Vizier Equals Lich, Rurik Equals Dead and so forth
>>726220813>I also didn't like the city in general. Maybe it's because I was a glass cannon Assassin, but I remember getting bodied by the afflicted groups. I only used henchmen though.The quintessential new assassin experience
>>726212249>reforgedGOOD MORNING CHARR
>>726220978
The only correct ranking:> 1. FactionsBest music, most interesting world, 2nd best story> 2. NightfallBest story, 2nd most interesting world> 3. Eye of the NorthBest over all polish and content> 4. PropheciesMost creative and best starting area (although Shing Jea was sweet as fuck as well)(it is not really a ranking, they are all great, but I love Factions the most)
How are Guild Wars generals in /vg/?
>>726220537Guild Wars 2 seeps deranged leftism out of every hole. In case you're a normalfag with no ability to recognize patterns - leftists don't make good games.
>>726212249Oh shit my girlfriend loves GW, might take this as an opportunity to play with her.
>>726221310factions had the best story
>>726220937This. 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.
>>726216361>devs who never played or worked on GW1 openly bragging about it on social media>LGTV+ western shit>quest to "punch a bigot">jadeite dildo in some lesbian's bedroom>trans flower people (trans-plants haha!)
>>726221348probably terrible like every other generalmaybe slightly better than the average
>>726221094The 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.
>>726221310I 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...
>>726221310Eye 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.
i knew sleeping next to my copy of nightfall would pay off someday. Gonna be a good holidays if I can actually get a groups for campaigns and pvp
>>726221348i miss the bot that completely killed guild wars 2 generals for years. no clue why it stopped working
I think im actually gonna jump back into GW1 then, last time I tried the issue was it was a ghost town and going through campaign with bots is not that fun Let me guess, I should roll a monk since everyone always is missing the healer in the party >:)
>>726221654Getting a group for dailies is easy. PvP still going on too.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Daily_activities
>>726221619But it has so much soul

>>726221671>everyone always is missing the healer in the partylol I just remembered that monk players went on strike back in the day
>>726221671The /vm/ guild is starting its 'seasonal' Factions run in January if you want to play with others.
>>726221564Factions 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.
>>726220813I 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.>>726220851>Monking in AB with a pug>5 assassins jump directly ontop of me>Instead of running away, I just stand there desperately healing myself>Shrine capping ele sees this and unloads his entire skillbar on them, killing all 5 at once, barely saving my assGrouped with this guy for AB for months after that.
I played GW1 for the last time around 2010. What would be a good beginner class to start again with reforged?
>>726221627We could have gotten Guild Wars Utopia but instead got Eye of the North
>>726221863Letting people play charr was the 2nd biggest mistake
Guild Wars 1 seasonal stuff was always so much fun. Especially Halloween and Christmas. Everyone gathered in hubs to do certain emotes when told and get rewards from it
>>726212249>mfw
>>726221897>Mysterious Old Crone: Yo Shiro c'mere c'mere>*psspspspssspsppspspssspspspp*>The Emperor is going to BETRAY you so you need to do it FIRST>Why? Because!
>>726221310The 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.
>>726221619problem?
>>726221619You don't like your Western MMO looking like some f2p chink slop with anime wings on everyone?
good secondary profession for Assassin?
>>726221564Alright, I accept.Although Nightfalls build up to the finale was quite amazing and it had the best gameplay because it introduced heroes.>>726221625I had pic rel box. Nika is better overall, but that soft Ritualist tummy hits just right
>>726221906>I love the city visuallyIt 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.Their sacred temple was in the fucking sewer for God's sake. There's a limit to how fucking shitty a city is allowed to be, plague or no
>>726221619what do you mean?
>>726221137Dope, I'll probably play with peeps until everyone jumps 20 levels ahead then grab bots. Would be neat if this update made the heroes customizable too
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.
>>726218218I made that 5 seconds for you. You're welcome.
>>726222234Don't need one, just fill up the empty slot with PvE only skills.
Did they ever nerf 55 monks? That is what I played for PVE farming desu
>>726212249>go get your mesmer runes because the market's about to blow up.Wew, time to start farming Outcast Assassins again
>>726222060The 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
>>726222421No, 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.
>>726221934I 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.
>>726222421There's nothing to nerf. They only work in like 3 areas.
Kurzick Chads report in
>>726221885Nowadays, you can set up trade alerts via toolbox to check for anybody asking for runs in Kamadan.>>726221973I enjoyed rolling up my max body size Charr named Fatlaaw Sweettooth.>>726221934Dervish 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.
>>726222283>customizableThey 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.
Shill the classes to me, who do I play
>>726218218https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Spiteful_Spirit
>>726222689Fuck Mesmers. Play Monk.
>>726222234I like to start /N for plague touch, you get to uno reverse the flood rangers.
>tfw your WoW classmates made fun of you because Guild Wars only had 8 skillsit's supposed to be this way, you're supposed to come up with your own build and it's actually more strategic!!
>>726222689Dervish.Melee class, tanky, cleavy scythe weapon. Got a real work shortly before end of development so their kit is modernized and there's lots of good skill and build options.
>>726222689No one can tell you which class you'll like the most.
>>726220813>>726221906>>726222254I 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
>login to my GW1 account after 7 years of not playing>see my char's abilities>can't remember shit>uninstallMaybe this time I can finally beat it...
>>726212249bro stfu you got me all excited and it's literally just a bug fixing patch fuck you
Don't play monk, play ritualist
>>726218218real ones know
>>726222689Necromancer. You summon undead niggas, lots of them.
>>726222689Here's a good starting point that explains the intricacies of the dual profession system. Just follow this information.
I looked at the classes, and the one that looks the most fun is assassin. But apparently if I make one, it means I can't play the original campaign in ascalon? What's the best way to go about experiencing the original stories?
>>726222812I've never had a wow player comment on the amount of skills, for them the "can't jump" was always a bigger deal.
>>726212249still not gonna give any money to present day anet
>>726222352We give thanks to the paraGODS.
can't wait to play gw1 for the first time and see all the places I know from gw2 :)
>>726222921You got one smaller for us ants?
>>726222903play both, at the same time
>>726216361GW2 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.
>>726222921Warriors build is peak soul there.
>>726222689Warrior. Because fuck you.
>>726222980now you'll finally understand why people hate chars
>>726219369sex
>>726223124but they make great backpacks
>>726212249So, this is just an update to improve ui, fix some bugs and make it easier to buy/play for new players? No actual new content like actually finshing Beyond?
>trying to recover my 20 year old accounthope i get it back, wish me luck boys
>>726223232anet support is legitimately pretty good from what I've seen/heard
>>726212249what the FUCK
i'm gay. what class is for me?
>>726223223Yes, though they did say there would be future updates whatever that means. But for now, no actual gameplay changes/content.

>>726223367mesmer or paragon
>>726222926You 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.>>726223223Correct.>Finishing BeyondGod I fucking wish.

>>726223367male paragon or mesmer for sureor any dervish, they all FAGGOTS
>>726221348/gw2g/ is like every other /vg/ general: autistic bickering between name- and avatarfags and degenerate hornypostingthe GW1 general on /vm/ is pretty good, actually discusses the game
>>726223658dervs are cool faggots though
Stupid fuckers just make an alternate timeline of the game where we get Utopia and EOTN/GW2 never happened that way you can keep making more expansions.
Remember how people would name their characters like "Sinji Goes Ranger" or "Sinji Goes Rit" etc etc
>>726223879EotN was alrightthe skills are OP though
>>726223510This is just for retards who need a company to tell them they can play their old games
>>726223972fucking ursanway
>>726224002the price drop (finally) is appreciated though and its cool more people will get to try a game that really never got a spiritual successor or anything
>White men want only one thing
>>726222914>>726222689Necros are cool since you dont have perma summons, you rise dudes from fresh corpses, and theyre on cooldown after which they die -- but you can snowball like crazy when you stack up more corpses and keep raising new ones, and you end up with a crazy (temporary) army of motherfuckers that oneshot everything and deal more dmg than the rest if the party combined

>>726224680well you werent trans then, makes sense
>/v/ when anon asks what class he should play (he's gay)
>>726224680was that before you transitioned?
>>726224493true! can't wait to experience 500 concurrent players!
>>726224727everyone can agree the objectively correct answer is mesmerbut everyone also hates the mesmer meta
>>726224680All of the account services were on sale back during the 20 year anniversary and I maxed out my bank tabs and switch all my toons to female.
>>726224678I have always loved that armorset
Should I mail arenanet and ask them to restore a character from an old account that was lost?The email for that account was hacked a long time ago
>>726224692One of the coolest shields. But I also loved the winged one which was easy to get. They had overall so many quality weapon skins in the game, it's insane.
>>726224961Choice
>>726223426this is just to draw penises
>>726225046They're really good about that stuff, but you'll need something that proves that its your account and character
While I really like their commitment to keeping the game alive, I would have loved to see a proper remaster completely separate from the original game and its utterly fucked economy beyond repair instead of what basically just boils down to a few QoL updates. Having a completely fresh start for everyone certainly would have made me way more interested in revisiting it.
>>726225046I was able to get arenanet to switch my accounts email from my inaccessible yahoo account to my new one. But it tooks some back and forth and I had to weirdly produce the CD keys for my GW2 account which is linked (luckily I had them in an old email.)
>>726225128All I can give them is the characters name and professionIts being easily 12 years since that account was lost, probably more even
>>726225185the only reason they even give half a fuck about the first game is because it's so cheap to maintain
ok gwfags enjoy your game being relevant again for about 2 hours and please do show me some cool shit from it
>>726225185This desu, and also ban gwtoolbox and all tranny add-ons. Also nerf consumables.
isn't PvP like all bots and wintraders now
>>726225185I'd love for GW to go fully singleplayer. Same with Secret World. I just hate MMOS in general
Wait so is it an update to the original game or do i need to buy it again???
>>726225349Yes, besides like one day of the week where people do Fort Aspenwood.I queued up for Jade Quarry once and saw another player in the other side who wasn't a bot and I started killing him and he was getting mad that I wasn't in the correct side for farming the bots.
>>726225427READ NIGGER READ
>>726225349I played HA during the 20th anniversary and it was pretty much all bots except for the finals where you got farmed by an all-human team.
>>726224692For me it was the Icy Dragon Sword.I never got it.
>>726225413I mostly just want some kind of merchant that sells and buys weapon mods, similar to the rune trader. Hard to offload a lot of weapon mods and when you need a specific one for a specific build it can be a pain in the arse to find a seller. Plus they also take up a lot of storage space.
>>726225274yes and? >>726225185sounds cool, maybe >>726225413to self host it at some point, that would be fucking sick to just hang out with my bros from back then in my private server, decreasing the active player count from 100 to 4
>>726225603That reminds me, there was conjure flame, ice and air spells but none for earth. I got an Elemental Sword with an earth damage handle but was so disappointed to find no spell to make a build off.
Never played GW. Is it fun?
>>726225673and a full-scale remaster would cost a lot of money
Post builds so I can steal, save and never use your ideasHere is mineOQkSEZKT9FCFTN7gieXFmYyb
>>726218218Nothing releases dopamine like power spiking that monk's life-saving WoH in PvP.
>>726225673I forgot what expansion she is from but she is actually giga cute
>>726225413I mean, GW1 was never an MMO to begin with, but I feel you. Just put the game in its current state into an offline package, maybe let people self host for coop shit if its so cheap and release a proper remaster for everyone to start anew and keep things fresh again. Seeing how they have an entire studio dedicated to the game now with 2weeks, which funnily enough consists of ex gw1 devs apparently, this would have honestly the best move and nobody would lose anything. I know that it's too much to ask anyway, but seeing the game in its current state just doesnt make me feel all that excited about returning despite this seemingly good news.
>>7262259012 is. 1 is for trannies.
I stopped before eye of the north and never finished any of the main stories or end game challenges. Each plot lost me at some point and I started dabbling in pvp or making new characters instead. I especially don't remember anything about factions and nightfall besides the architecture of the kowloon structures in one and the main continent being (too) huge in the other. I know I made it to the desert area in the southeast in Prophecies.How long are the campaigns actually if you're not a dumb kid and start from scratch?
>>726225673Factions, my dude. How could you forget.Her name is even almost nigga

>>726226514>Scatters your HM mobs everywhere
>>726226908This but Paragon, all 7 of them that actually enjoy the class.
>>726226690Oh shit, you are right, she was the one who killed him back then. They do look so similar though. >>726226990Sorry, it's Vizu, my bad>>726226695this.

Oh damn, I never got around to playing this shit. Time to fix that.
>>726227163There aren't enough paragon mains to fill a party of 8, let alone enough who actually enjoy the class.
>>726227313Love this little nigga
>>726227313I wonder how much money anet has made just from people buying mercenaries to replace this guy.
>>726227313Based Norgu.
W/Mo can go fuck itself, what was the unconventional profession combination you tried that nobody ever used.
>>726227313Man that takes me back to a time when I wasn’t so racist
>>726227343There's quite a bit of Paragon players, the problem is they're all pidgeon holed into playing the one really strong build (Heroic Refrain)

>>726227332If you still have your CDkeys you can contact support. If you don't have your keys, you can maybe still contact support. They're pretty good for recovering accounts. Even shit like the address you were at when you first bought the game can help, if you remember that.

>>726227523In Random Arenas I used to play a E/P.I would actually put 9 points into spear master. My sequence was Conjure Lightning>shell shock(applies cracked armor)>lightning orb>ride the lightning>chest thump(applies deep wound)>lighting spear or autos to finish them off.It was similar to the E/A Ride the Lightning spiker but I liked not having to rely on using a slow casting hex that was often removed and it has like half cast range.

I used to play the shit out of this game I even got GWAMM on my dervish. I wonder if I can still get my old account back.
>>726228196rightall the steam version does is launch the launcher anyway
>>726227667yeah I think this is the only way, but I doubt they still have me in their database
>>726228196>>726215649 says you get everything if you already had something
>>726227850GW IS WOKE
>>726228114No. They should play the game just like I did back in the day. Rushing them to shit they have no business in being yet just ruins the experience.
>>726228348>>726228364Thanks
>>726228350They do.
>>726228364how do i prove i have everything if i only have physical copies?
>>726228140drop your tits in the most epic guild wars thread NOA
>>726228010The only explanation is that one of the old pre-made PvP builds used it, along with Healing Hands:https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Pre-made_buildI don't really get it either, Mending wasn't really good on primary monks (other than a few farming builds).
>>726228456Okay, will try it, thanks

>>726226234Trvke
>>726228196Reforged is just a patch the game, you already own the game and can log in as usual.They are however adding a new "steam-linked" version of the game if you buy it on Steam after the patch date, which can be linked to a GW2 steam account which was previously isolated from GW1 accounts. You can continue to log in through the new Reforged steam-launched client even if you bought GW1 on steam before and it's still a classic account that isn't linked to steam only.
>>726228936is that the bitch from evanjellyion? lol
>>726228467if you have a physical copy you presumably made a game account with them, and thus will get everything you don't already own automatically
