Fair enough. I enjoyed my time with the game, but the very lackluster global events kinda killed the long-term play for me. Plus I was stuck playing solo almost all the time :P
Though I've had the urge to pick the game back up.
You mostly hit one of my points. The only reason I had people to play with was because I kept in touch with guildies from Guild Wars 1. The social quality and being able to find new people to play with just wasn't there.
I dunno, I really enjoyed it like rather a lot (though I missed having henchmen) the PvP was really decent. then I got to the whole karka attack thing, which was great fun if only because i was very lucky and didn't crash out or have issues. And then after that I took a break like i do when i just played solid for a whole week and when i felt like coming back suddenly nothing was how i remembered it and i simply couldn't play it anymore.
I really want to go back and give it another go but I fear it's moved on far too much I'd have to start again and relearn it all and the jewel/gold economy will be super crazy by now. Much like neverwinter online; if you take a break with these games you can never really catch up again.
You're right though, i miss exploiting the 5hp monk stuff to solo bosses, I miss the birthday critters, I miss paying some guy too much money to run me through to the next hub cause i was too lazy to bother or just having too much trouble or kept getting distracted, I miss the focus being on skill and not levels. I don't fucking miss Gwen at all. I miss my Dervish. Big time.
Guild Wars 2.
As a big Guild Wars fan and former addict... it just didn't have the same qualities.
I never played the first one. Did the change away from playing characters that were two classes really hurt the feel that much or is there more to it?
There's much more. It really just didn't have the same addictive qualities that Guild Wars had. I could ramble for awhile but... you know. lol
