Guild wars 1 is very much alive, we have a /vm/ guild that has been running near weekly events for 2 years now for anyone interested in doing endgame content, new players are always welcome and no prior experience is needed.Previous Thread >>1491453http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_PageNext week on Sunday Dec 8th 5:30 PM EST we are starting our paragon only NF campaign prog. This prog is a paragon only prog we must all run paragon rules and more details will be posted below.We will likely do the prog on either Sunday/Monday/Tuesday at around 5:30 PM EST we'll discuss it more on the first day we play. Other events and endgame group stuff is planned. Today we are doing FA/JQ to take advantage of double competitive week.If you want to join the guild, post your IGN.If you're new and ever have questions or need help with something, just ask anytime.And fix your sound!>https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/thread/10525-announcing-dsoal-gw1-3d-positional-audio-and-eax-effects-for-everyone/What is DSOAL-GW1?>When GW was released in 2005, the audio component of Microsoft’s DirectX API was something called DirectSound. DirectSound had a 3D audio component called DirectSound3D, or DS3D, that could pan and amplify/attenuate sound sources based on their position relative to the camera in the game’s 3D world. PC’s with a high-end Creative sound card also had access to EAX, an extension to DS3D with a suite of hardware DSP effects for occlusion, obstruction, reverb, echo, etc. Like most games of its era, GW’s audio system was designed around DirectSound and DS3D, and owners of high-end PCs could get the “definitive” audio experience with EAX.>All that ended in 2007 with Windows Vista. Vista completely broke DS3D and EAX. Rather than fix it, Microsoft deprecated DirectSound and pushed developers to adopt its new XAudio2 API for future games. With DS3D and EAX broken, GW hasn’t sounded “right” in any version of Windows since XP.
>>1518388The goal of this prog is to beat NF with a team full of paragons, no monks, no mesmers, only paragons. Of the 3 campaigns NF is the easiest to beat, last time we did an NF prog I can only recall 2-3 instances we ever wiped while paragons are pretty good healers they have virtually no access to AoE damage, and very low DPS which will force us to have to work together and coordinate spike targets. This run exists primarily to explore the depths and lesser used but powerful paragon skills that never see use due to most party comps being caster heavy.Basic rules are:1) No EotN PvE only skills. Sunspear and Luxon are acceptable in this prog however.2) No pcons/tomes*/consumables unless they drop during the prog.3) Rune trader is still banned, paragon insignias are to be fought to the death for.4) Only 2 paragons can have the same secondary, having a party full of P/W would be boring.5) No Paragons can use the same elite skill, everyone on our team must be using a different elite.6) You are allowed a max of 1 PvE only skill (not EotN), HR is acceptable, but only 1 person can carry it since it's an elite*Tomes - Weekly during the run I will hand out elite tomes/reg tomes to half the party this is because many skills in NF are backloaded toward the last 10% of the campaign the addition of tomes will give our group a slow and steady power creep allowing people to adapt their strategies slowly and always have something to look forward to or strategize how they will use it as opposed to having to complete entire campaign just to use a skill for the last 2-3 missions.
>>1518388>we wuz
fa is already happening
can't make it tonight have fun guys
>>1518277>5:30 PM EST on Sunday Dec 8are you sure about that? seems a bit late judging by the lettucemeet schedule we had people sign.https://lettucemeet.com/l/VB9j7we'd only be gaming for 1h30m before EU people would start to peace out
>>1518696our GAYMEN sessions last around 2hr on the longer end anyway. 1h30min sounds fine.
>>1518696>are you sure about that?not positive it's more of a tentative time at the moment if we end up doing 2 days per week we might do 1.5 hours each session. Most of early NF is just questing anyway so we'll do some questing maybe try to get to Joknaur's and call it a day. We'll talk about it next week ingame.
Who the fuck has taken all the NFL player names
>>1518767>>1518770ah yeah that's fine, just wanted to make sure
>>1518779you know what class we're playing?you need to try cheerleaders. try gw bush
Yall got any tips / builds for good assassin heroes?
>>1520148idk
I'm a lonely monk stuck in yaks bend :(
>>1520341u need a run to LA?
>>1520344I need to figure my shit out that's what I need to do. What do you think? Run to LA then start NF for the Heroes so I can do everything solo? I'm level 11, so I don't really want to start over
>>1520348well we got a whole ass guild so u can play with others but heroes will def help, if you're on I can run you in a bit
>>1520348>solo monkforwhatpurpose.jpg
>>1520385I wanted to try smite while leveling/going through the campaigns for nostalgia then end game I can swap to whatever is needed
>>1520148Put mesmer skills on them and give them a staff :^)They don't really do dagger chains well enough and there's not much you can do to fix it
COME FA NOW we need like one or two COME NOW
>>1520148better off using derv or warrior heroesif you are really determined to use an assassin hero, any basic dagger spammer + way of the assassin setup will do. I've heard there's a pretty neat signet condi build using deadly arts that heroes tend to use pretty effectively but I don't remember it.
>>1520425>>1520454Yeah, I'm just experimenting with changing up the hero order that's been carrying me through the game. The programming for heroes doesn't seem to account for the Assassin's sequential attack skills. It looks like if I want an Ass in the party, it needs to be me.
>>1520510do the crit bow one with the anniversary bow
>>1521031anniversary weapons are automatically customized so I dont think herpes can use it?

>>1521171>asking for it
>>1521171
The nagging urge to get GWAMM on all 10 professions is niggling me again. Guess I better start hitting up the chest runs during this week.

>>1521171>Built For Spanking gee where'd he get that idea
>>1521256i cant remember what is it from
>>1520348>>1520360I deleted the monk and started a new ranger in nightfall to presumably make things easier
>>1521645bro...
>>1521645if you aren't far in, try factionsfaster than prophecies and the henchmen don't suck dick. building a team of heroes when you have no skills unlocked blows
I never played GW1 but bought the game with all xpacs. What would be a good starting class? Should I start with the main game or with one of the xpacs?
>>1522426play them in release order, starting with Propheciesany class is good, though Monk can be boring if you're just healing your AI party
>>1522426>starting classEvery profession is fun and plays differently. You'll end up liking some more than others.Monks are fun imo but smiting can feel limiting in Prophecies and healing/protting dumb NPCs isn't very fun.>what orderCampaign order, new character for each: Prophecies > Factions > NightfallThere is only one "expac" which is Eye of the North. The other three are independent campaigns. There's also Guild Wars: Beyond which you can do once you're finished with all that.Prophecies runs slower than the other two as it's taking it's damn time to introduce you to mechanics and new skills (make sure you're doing quests for new skills!).Ignore people who tell you to speedrun to Nightfall for heroes. You won't even have skills unlocked to put on those heroes. That being said, Prophecies henchmen are kinda sucky at times. If you need help you can post here and people will come help you.>bought the gameDid you buy the trilogy on Steam or the complete collection on the website?You're going to have to buy the lone expansion eventually if you bought the trilogy of campaigns on Steam.(The expansion is basically just something Anet made with leftover assets to tie into GW2 but still worthwhile eventually).
>>1522426There is only one expansion: Eye of the North.Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall are all standalone campaigns. EotN requires you to have beaten one of these campaigns to play.
>>1522426I would play a caster class (necro mesmer ele) or maybe rangertry prophecies, and if it's too slow for you play factions
>>1522426Release order is best imo, prophecies is a bit slow, but it teaches the game very gradually and doesn't overwhelm you like NF, nor difficulty spikes you like Factions. I would recommend making a new character for each campaign that way you experience at least 3 classes so when you unlock heroes you already have a ton of skills unlocked.Class is really up to you. I would personally avoid Monk or Mesmer as your first, Mesmer tends to be very reactionary and knowing what targets are physicals vs casters which isn't always obvious (but Mesmer is very fun and a lot more reactive playstyle). From there it's whichever one appeals to you the most.As mentioned by other commenter if you get stuck post here other anons are happy to spend hours writing up ways to improve your build, strategy recommendations etc...
HA in 40 mins or so be there or be square
LF ele for HA tonight
Man, the kurzick areas are really fucking pretty, and they seem really chill. Why was there so much hate for them (mainly in older posts I find)? They just seem to call them emo and leave it at that. (Luxons are still pretty cool)
>>1525750idk I love kurz stuffit has random weird shit while the jade sea feels like 2 templates copypasted over and over
We're doing HA RIGHT NOW GET INH ERE
Just got to thinking about how fun a GW private server could be. Imagine all the wacky builds you could put together with access to every skill in the game (NPC abilities included). Could drop mobs into presearing and make it have more high-level stuff, bring factions/nightfall professions into presearing, etc.
How was I unaware of this spell? So we can have self-BiPing Dervish healers now?
>>1525885I basically only use my Dervsh as a healer.
>>1525885yeah but derv mysticism skills aren't that great and lyssa's aura already exists
>>1525900>implying inspirations skills are better than mysticism skills
>>1525877ehhh what mob skills are you wishing you could use? There's not many I've seen that I went "man I wish I had that" the only upside to private server would be updated balance which would drastically change the game and keep things interest.>>1525885It was added in 2018
>>1525902but you can go /me for energy as a class with better energy and a better primary attributeif you're using vor you're buying into using derv enchantments to benefit from mysticism's effect
>>1525885Also since it self renews, it's usually the very first thing that gets stripped. It's a fun spell but it's kind of a lot worse than some other healer builds.
>>1525908>6 years agoWHAT THE FUCK?!IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS LIKE 2-3 YEARS AGO
>>1526697Bro I still think 2020 was last year. I grow weary of living in interesting times.
>>1526700Yeee tell me about it.... Lotta shit happening around the world (good bye Assad, gonna miss ya)
log on for some HA
TOMORROW we start our paragon prog at 5:30 PM EST (24~ hours from now) start thinking of paragon names now so you can get past the hardest part of early game. Also start contemplating what secondary you want to go.Time/day is likely to change for future games, just wanted a safe day to run it.
Fresh Peter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM0B-8e3NS8
>>1528228>early evening on a weekend>safeI'll hopefully be able to make it, or at least not be too late.
>>1528365a lot of the day will just be questing and hanging out so even if you show up late you won't be missing too much. Goal of the day is to beat Joknaur's Digging.
>>1528228Not gonna make it. Gonna be on a plane
>>1528228I have family stuff but I will 100% be there mondays/tuesdays (except the week of christmas)post how far you guys get when you wrap up
STARTING PROG SOON SEE YOU THERE MY SPEAR CHUCKIN NAGA'S
>>1528228Better time than the usual, wouldn't mind seeing the future date change either. I will be patiently waiting with my Ranger :-)
Today we did quite a bit of side questing, something like 10+ keys dropped for our party (I got exactly 0). We stopped at the quest Signs and Portents (the quest before Joknaur's Digging).We've decided we will be playing weekly on Mondays at 4 PM EST. Next Prog will be MONDAY THE 16TH - Not tomorrow, next week.Currently we have:Paragon/MesmerParagon/DervishParagon/RangerParagon/WarriorIf you are joining us for prog, please post in thread what secondary you'll end up going with. Ideally trying to keep a max of 2 of each secondary. I will be posting weekly what builds we are all running so people who aren't in the prog can watch our progress as well.
>>1529704Pet - Flamingo is the MVP of the prog so far.
>>1529704>4 PM ESTnvm I will not 100% be there
>>1529773Would 4:30 PM EST work better for you? Or Tuesday at 4 PM EST? Or is this just a next week thing?The only person on our lettucemeet that appeared busy at that time was Scoozy, normally I would of done a sunday game but there was a much higher interest in a weekday prog. https://lettucemeet.com/l/VB9j7
>>1529819yeah it's on meif I look at that, 4pm shows 3/7 available, 9-11:30 (4pm+5 to 6:30+5) shows 6/7and if I scroll to the bottom it says shown in local time (gmt) in faint gray text, because I apparently had some adblocker extension break whatever they used to get my location, despite them having my ip address
>>1529840not included in this confusing paragraph is that my local time is not gmt but est, and thus I'm at work at 4 estif it works for everyone else no worries, I'll just come through for the next thing
who knows how to farm the new nick set with a derv
>>1529868do you work at 4 PM EST every day of the week, or only during weekdays?We only had 4 people who showed up yesterday on a Sunday, despite that time being available for everyone according to the scheduler(maybe people are more busy now in Dec than regularly)I'd be fine with playing on Sundays if it turns out being the easiest day for everyone to attend
>>1530009i'm unemployed
>>1530011perfect for roleplaying the Nightfall playthrough
>>1530037lol
>>1529819Yeah I'm pretty much never able to make 4 est but that's cause I'm a mst wagie
>>1529819on workdays I'm not free til like 5:30 or so
>>1530314>>1529868Alright how about 5:30 PM EST on Monday's then? Does that work with everyone? Aim to finish games at around 7:00-:7:30 at latest.
>>1530328works for me-zesty
>>1530844Everyone ok with 5:30 PM EST on monday? Does that not work for anyone?Also new thread topic: I am changing guild hall to be on theme for our NF prog. Your choices are between Corrupted Isle, Isle of Solitude, Isle of Wurms, Uncharted Isle.
>>1530328>>1531451don't shift on my behalf, I'm gonna have to cook supper when I get home anyway, and yuros always get wrecked by the prime na timeslot we used
>>1531493Yeah I had 3 people say they couldn't make 4 PM so I decided to push it up a bit to see if this works better at 5:30 PM EST. I think I'm going to stick with this time and we'll see how it goes on Monday
>>1531451Uncharted
>>1531451solitude
im bored out my ass free taxi servicesill run you anywheremight die along the way but that's what u get for not paying a CENThit my line
>>1531493What are you cooking us?
>>1531837Do you do desert tours?
>>1531881you mean crystal desert outposts or missions?
>>1531890alright I looked it up will try myself first and run you over weekend
i wish they didnt lock the customization for your character for each campaign. i know you can buy the ability to use all the customization options but i shouldnt have to buy it
I wish I didn't have to pay $10 any time I wanted someone to change up to 19 characters in a text line.

I'm thinking of trying for a Legendary Survivor of Ascalon run, should I go Ele/Monk or Ele/Ranger?
>>1533682Do you actually mean Legendary SURVIVOR of Ascalon because that usually refers specifically to grinding to r3 Survivor in Pre which only a small handful of extremely dedicated nerds have ever achieved (see the sidebar here https://www.presearing.com/ ). For just getting to level 20 in Pre, I'd say the pet from Ranger is far more valuable and powerful than the heals that Monk offers.
>>1533696>r3 Survivor in PreAh, I see, I misunderstood the title. I just want to do a no death LDoA run which I was told would get me the Survivor title, I didn't realize there were multiple ranks. My mistake.That sounds like a neat long term goal to chip away at, though, I might have to give it a go once I finish playing through the all the campaigns.>RangerThank you, I'll get started on it after work..
>>1533728Rank 1 Survivor is very doable, just have to careful when doing the daily quests, but r3 requires absolute autism levels of dedication (it's like 3 years of doing the daily every single day after you've reached level 20, don't even want to calculate how much grinding the mobs only it would be) without ever slipping and making a mistake.
>>1533744Hi again, I was just wondering, I don't have to worry about out leveling quests, right? The option to accept them won't disappear because I'm too high of a level for them?Also this is a very gorgeous game, wow.
>>1534401NTA but don't worry the quests won't disappear until you are at the point of no return. The best thing to do is accept them all but save collecting the rewards until you are at level 16, because all mobs at that point give you the lowest amount of xp.
>>1534401no such thing as outleveling content in this game, with the only exception being a small handful of PvP arenas meant for low-level characters only (that nobody ever plays anyway)
let me in the guildGuillermo Cervantes
>>1534540>no such thing as outleveling content in this gameWell, if you outlevel mobs they give less exp so that matters if you're going for ldoa or whatever.
>>1534548sent ;)>log in>sauron the black STILL never accepted the guild invitethat nigger
>>1534401Weapons that you don't meet the requirement for will only give you half that effect. Consider using the Serrated Shield promotional item if you don't need the +6 energy that Tiger's Roar is giving you. You'll still get +8 armor and +30 HP unconditionally.
so how do you make money in guild wars these days? I used to be a runner
>>1535055Nick gifts
i ate too much and my belly schurts
>>1534401this game's graphics have aged very well when considering they are nearly 20 years old. Pic is my favorite area in the game. >>1535055Nick gifts like other anon said is the easiest way to make money with 0 experienceZaishen coins are also an excellent source of income, and players frequently still group up daily to do many of the missions/bountys.
should I do this?>Here's my full recommendation for all new players:>make a character (whichever profession appeals to you) in Nightfall and play until you reach Consulate Docks >2. make another character (again, any profession, but it should be a different one) in Factions and play until you reach the Marketplace >3. make another character (different profession again) in Prophecies and play until you reach Lion's Arch
>>1535831It's the correct idea, but the order is wrong. Do Prophecies first, then Factions, then Nightfall.
>>1535831Nightfall first sounds like a rush to get a couple of Heroes. You do get one or three that early, right? To add to what the other anon said, you should play the campaigns in order of release. Also if you're new, I would suggest playing a Factions or NF-introduce profession during its campaign. So if you want to check out Assassin or Ritualist, play one during Factions first and if you want to check out a Paragon or Dervish, play one during the Nightfall campaign first.
make a necro and go through prophecies like a MAN then make a dervish since they're so useful everywhere
>>1536334This. Experienced players are like "wow heroes so useful" until they remember that new accounts have fuck all skills to put on them and trivialize the content.Fuck that. Make a character for each campaign in release order. Prophecies > Factions > Nightfall>>1536338>necrobased>dervishdebased
>>1536341t. got owned by a derv and/or also cucked by BDC
...Is the game actually down? Why am I stuck on Connecting?
>>1536354i actually went to >reddit to check and it seems like all of Anet stuff is down (Gw1, GW2, API servers, etc.)
>>1536358Your sacrifice was not in vain. Thank you anon.
>>1536358it's over they're gonna wipe our characters and I had two stacks of nick gifts ready to sell
Game is back up, there was an issue with Anet's login servers
what class would you guys recommend? ive tried warrior but holy crap its so awful to play
>>1536597Necro or mesmer i think showcase the game's systems to the best degree
>>1536599thanks bro
>>1531881do you still need this?
REMINDER, NF PARA PROG CONTINUES MONDAY AT 5:30 PM EST
>>1536784i got another elite para tome
ill run your ass from LA to Sanctum Cay, do the mission (with bonus in NM doe) and then give you a desert tour for TIPS (that's right)hit my line
Since GW1 is designed for players to have two professions, how difficult is a mono-profession run, and which class would be the most difficult to do one on?I'm thinking Warrior since they're melee.
>>1536848It's perfectly normal to only use skills from your primary profession.>>1536597Every profession plays differently so just try one until you like it. But also, when you have a full suite of skills unlocked you can play wildly differently with the most unorthodox skill bars and have a blast.
>>1536848The two profession system allows you to make the absolute most optimized meta builds, but it's not a requirement to make a good build for any profession. If you make a Warrior and put 12 points in Strength and the other 12 points in your weapon of choice, you will be able to run through every campaign without much issue.
is the paragon group full?
>>1536848a lot of professions have strong builds that barely touch the secondary, partly because you can't get the secondary attributes as high due to no runes/headgear
spotted this guy in toa just dancing around
>>1537192what a cool guy
>>1537028We were only 4 for the first session and there were two who said in the thread who said they couldn't make it, so presumably there'll be room for more.
>>1537305i bet his dick is 9 inches long if not longer
>>1536848A bit ashamed to admit this but I rarely engage with my secondary there's usually enough really interesting/good skills on any one profession where I never feel the need to really try wacky combinations. Some of my favorite builds I've seen though are the ones that really dive deep into the dual class system.>>1537028As far as I am currently aware no, we are on the quest Signs and Portents (quest before Jokanur's Diggings) average group level is about 9~ post in thread what secondary you pick if you do want to join us.
>>1536848Pretty easy, for a lot of builds, usually the secondary is taken for utility and not required at all. This is probably the most used assassin build and all the skills are assassin/PvE with the exception of going Dervish to make your attacks holy damage against undead heavy areas.
Holler when you reach the Sanctuary. Recommend a fun R/P pet build :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OGoOBXf_1cthe french madman did it again
Is pvp a thing in this game?
>>1538078Random Arena tends to have people playing in the evenings (EU time), Fort Aspenwood has games every weekend evening, Hall of Heroes has some activity but also bot teams to farm, Jade Quarry is always filled with bots to farm but during double faction week you can get games with mostly humans.
>>1538078you have no idea
>>1536823when are you going to be online?
>>1538770in 8 hours or so
>>1537427
>>1537427>Broke>>1538860>WokeALCOHOL REQUIRED
>>1538865nah he's cool leave him alone buddy or else...
i question why they would lock class and character customization to each campaign.
>>1539047Because the flavor is cool
>>1539057i guess but its still just a weird decision when you can let players customize the way they want. though i guess its also cause of that makeover packs they sell.
>>1538860Why not Critical Agility?
>>1538770>>1538810still need this?
>>1539328Sure, are you online?
>>1539336will be in 30mins
>>1539273Not that anon, but Critical Agility has a cast time and can be easily removed. Unfortunately, Drunken Master is better than most IAS options, as long as you are using alcohol. And that anon is also using Feel No Pain, which also has an additional alcohol benefit.
My fellow para nagas I will see you guys in 2.5 hours
>>1540363Update: Need to go pick up a family member really sorry guys will get home as fast as I can, but might be an hour late. Do Jokanur's diggings without me and continue prog -Spirit
its para time nagasI'm looking at you in particular, three other people who were there last time
Today we had a quick game beat Jokanur's Digging and had one of the most stressful apocrypha fights since 2008 the damn thing healed faster than we could kill it so we had to get lucky and hope it wouldn't reform into Mesmer 3 times in a row. We also had a runner bring us to Gadd's so we could unlock 4 Hayda's for paragon heroes. Posted updated para builds everyone got a normal paragon tome today.Also for people interested in joining us, does 5:30 PM EST on Mondays work for you? If there's a better time let us know atm we're still 4 people and we've just now unlocked bigger party sizes. Average party level is 11~ so it's still entirely possible to catch up to group fairly quickly if you are interested.

>>1534401Progress: Level 5(I'm a lazy gamer), nearly died to the Shatter Gargoyle while farming skulls for my shoes, 28 red irises away from being able to get the headgear.>>1534922Thank you for the information, it literally saved be in the catacombs.
>>1540875A lot of other MMOs tried to cash in on the Classic WoW hype around the time it was first announced. I bet we would've gotten it if they didn't have GW2 to work on. Idk if many people would've been drawn back though, sadly, considering the base game is largely the same as it was. It definitely would've been fun to play around with all the pre nerf skills though.
>>1540886That armor set is one of my favorites for eles.Good luck and try not to burn out doing LDoA
So, how do you feel knowing that Glint's baby dragon was pretty much forgotten about, and then when finally reintroduced into the story of GW2 is basically a minor side character that immediately dies?

>>1541779this was taken in 2006
how did anet release factions and nightfall within 5 months of each other what the h*ll
>>1541868And then after a year and a half said "we want the WoW money after all" and switched to GW2 development.
>>1541874that was me I said that
You ever wish Nightfall got a cool cinematic trailer like Factions?
>>1541868Game devs were just built differently back thenLook at how companies like Black Isle/Bioware were pumping out classic after classic every year or two
guild wars is the best game ever I love it so much holy fuck
my text message noise is the whisper sound
its always comfy finding a shocking/icy/fiery weapon mod and then changing my secondary profession to ele and slotting in conjure lightning/frost/flame.
>>1542772why isn't there conjure earth too good with defensive spells?
thinkign of burning forest anon
>>1542772Based, I have an E/R build that runs conjure flame and an E/W build that runs conjure lightning. As well as an R/E build focused on dealing damaged with Needling Shot. >>1542873I don't think they would have had this foresight back when designing Prophecies, but there is a Dervish elite that essentially has Conjure Earth plus other stuff https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ebon_Dust_Aura
>>1543239I don't think it was an oversight. there's no way you make the same skill for 3 elements and not the 4th, especially when they patched stuff in the prophecies days and could've added it
we should do a christmas UW run
how I be standing after the cute cashier at my local Blockbuster said she won't come over to watch the Guild Wars Factions Leipzig Championship (2006) I just rented out
>>1543788https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdJM0xsbHhsholy kinonever knew this existed
>>1543930https://www.gw-memorial.net/builds/check this out
>>1540656Hey, still haven't heard back from people yet. We had 6-7 people express interest in a Monday game, and another 2-3 express interest in the para prog, yet we've only had 4 people show up the last 2 weeks. What's going on? Is Monday a bad day after all? I'm not opposed to swapping it back to Sunday but need to hear from people.If on Monday we are still only 4 we will spend that day doing some wintersday quests. Trying to not get too deep into the campaign so people can still easily catch up.
>>1544186I can't make any time earlier than 7:30 pm eastern on weekdays, and can't really do sundays until 8:30 pm eastern. Saturdays are free for me thought. Scoozy
>>1544202>I can't make any time earlier than 7:30 pm eastern on weekdaysbaaically same (kensuke), and then weekends are randomly busy, especially this time of year
>>1544598>>1544186
>>1544598We've been playing at 4:00 PM and 5:30 :P but kk, if I bring it back down to 4:30 will that work better for you? I figured there might be some issues around this time of year but 2/3rds of the group going missing without a word was a bit surprising lol.>>1544202and yeah no problem scoozy I know you can't make it.
bruh
>>1545119NoiceIs that with favor of the gods up?
>>1545134yeah that's with favor upalso>>1543644
>>1545149>>1543644I'm open to doing one on Sunday the 29th if people are available, but it'll probably have to be at 6 PM EST or later.
>>1544858you should start a new lettucemeet and put a disclaimer in FULL CAPS that people should double check if it's showing the right timezone before they start filling it in, so we don't get confused like last timeIf it turns out that I'm the only euro then I'll take one for the team and set my timer to 2 AM(I am CET) so we can all play at EST 7PM+ or whatever if that's the earliest time people can play
it's so fucking expensive to kit out mesmer heroes nowadays fuck sake

>>1545687what the fuck man
Why does this game look so much better than gw2 and why did anet abandon this game in the first place for a shitty sequel
>>1544186patiently waiting to tag along at the sunspear sanctuary
>>1545717Anet had some meeting in the beginning of 2007 where they decided that Utopia would have to be scrapped, and instead they'd make EotN and start production on GW2. Ostensibly, this was because there were very core issues they weren't able to address, almost certainly something related to the skill system being a nightmare to add to and more importantly to balance, especially with how enemies also used the skills.
>>1545775There's some great insights to be had if you watch the GW1 segments of ANet's Extra Life streams from the past few years. Basically, GW1 wasn't originally designed to be an "MMO" with constant PvE content updates and a long-term sustainable business model, so making a GW2 from the ground up as a PvE MMO made more sense than trying to make GW1 into one. It's worth noting GW1 was really only ever under "active support" for like 2 years max, after Nightfall in 2006 they already realized it's not sustainable and they need to make a sequel. And also they were kinda hitting the limit of what was functional in GW1's skill system and how things were technically implemented, so an entirely new game was their play. You can definitely feel it in GW2 right now as well, the deteriorating mechanics and balance and fundamentally flawed design decisions that can't be fixed anymore are really compounding 12 years in and why they've been working on GW3 for a while already.

>>1546781all I want is for you to be happy bro
>>1546781I''ll definitely take a stack of lockpicks. The stack I bought when we owned that outpost is getting low.

>>1546720The trick is to divide them into like 50 each, and stick them onto all your characters you actively use. >>1546773If you're new I recommend doing Prophecies - Factions - Nightfall, eases you into the game, if you want to play with other people we have a paragon only prog group in early nightfall right now and we meet weekly. As always post character name if you want guild invite. Speaking of Para Prog we'll meet tomorrow at 5:30 PM EST like usual we might do some wintersday quests. Also tonight if people are interested we could try to organize a snowball fight of the gods - it's a PvP arena sorta similar to league with constant minions pouring down lanes it's also a very efficient way of getting wintersday gifts/gamer title points. We'd do it at 7:30 PM EST tonightI think it was 2 years ago we caught a guy botting this and we spent hours farming his bots getting several stacks of wintersday gifts.
>>1546959>1:30AMeuxisters our response?

I'm a first time player in Nightfalls as Ranger and wanted to take Ritualist as a second profession, but it's not available. Is it only in another campaign? Can I change into it later somehow?I wanna roleplay as Mongolian Khan, have a bow and gazillion expendable units swarm stuff. Read on wiki that Ritualist got spirit summons, seemed appropriate.
>>1549667>Is it only in another campaign?It's in Factions, you have to go to Cantha to select it. You can go to other campaigns by taking the boats in Kamadan, Jewel of Istan in Nightfall.>Can I change into it later somehow?Yes, you can swap out secondaries later by talking to Profession Changer NPC in Kourna after you finish the quest "Hunted!"
>>1549667You get to unlock all other professions as secondary later at which point you can freely swap between them in the skill window. For Rit you need to go to Factions and do a few missions until you get to Senji's Corner.Also Rit spirits happen to be a skill type that benefits from the Expertise energy cost reduction funnily enough, so there's some minor synergy for Ranger there.
>>1549667Ritualists come from Cantha (Factions campaign) but you can swap to it later in the Nightfall campaign if you'd like.Also, Ritualists spirits are stationary. If you want "units to swarm stuff" what you want are Necromancer minions.Rangers can spirit spam decently enough but will not be great for minion mastering (low energy).
>>1549667I won't tell you how to play but my suggestions is to play release order (Prophecies > Factions > Nightfall) if you're new (new character for each).If you're just messing around then do whatever i guess.
mai come online
merry christmas bros
Christ is born and jews are in shambles haha love it
>>1549936but I'm a jew and I love christmas
>>1549683>>1549714>>1549757Thanks for tips guys. If it's possible to change professions later on then I won't worry too much about it.>>1549773Yeah, I'm mostly pocking around. Since it's an older game I presume I miss most of the important stuff, so I'm just going with the flow for now.Merry Christmas btw!
>>1550099There's nothing to "miss" besides an active PvP scene outside of community event times. All the PvE content is still there and people still play it regularly (especially the daily Zaishen quests).
I asked mom to get me two character slots for christmas and she got me a car I hate her
