How do you guys know so much? - Guild Wars Forums

SoulHunter · Apr 24, 2005, 02:22 AM // 02:22

How do you guys know so much about the game and all the builds, its pro's and con's, and tons of the skills available? I know you guys probably played in the majority of the btea but man, I don't know how you guys can remember all this. I have only played in one beta for like only 30 min, and I thought it was pretty good so thats why I'm going to get the CE.

20% Search skills,
30% Good memory,
50% No life other than GW...

lol, lets hope I don't get as addicted to GW as I was to D2. When I first played it, I would play it for hours everyday in the summer. An average would be like 2-5 hours per day.

Good thing the school year is almost over so that I have more free time.

Reading all of the guides, skill listings, and premade builds on this site is about 5 hours worth of work.

However, until you've applied the stuff in game for a while it won't fully sink in.

Still, the entire process of getting good at this game (not counting very high level PvP) is a short one really.

If you want something that takes a lot of knowledge try learning another human language *well*... That is a good 5 years of constant study.

Ugh, tell me about it. I have so many art projects and papers due that I don't know when I will find the time for GW when it is released. But GW is worth every second that I get to play it

Ensign · Apr 24, 2005, 02:56 AM // 02:56

I remember *everything*. Just throw time at it and viola.

It's easy to remember things you enjoy. Take a song for example.

well after reading some peoples posts... its like 95% guessing... so it depends on who you ask

I wasnt supposed to tell you this but, we are bots, we are all bots!

Actualy I study. I figure if they expect you to remember history, you can remember how a game works.

Ren Falconhand · Apr 24, 2005, 03:21 AM // 03:21

I had a chip put in my head so I can access all GW info. only sometime it goes a little haywire and make me try to take over the world!!!!

But really I just use the search alot

ericmodify · Apr 24, 2005, 03:22 AM // 03:22

I got too addicted to World of warcraft. I would spend entire days on weekends playing it. I predict the same thing will happen here but I'm praying it won't.

-merge-

Can someone give me a brief (not brief) description on what you are to do in GW. Is it like World of Warcraft where it's mostely individual or what?

If you have played Diablo 2, the PvE is a lot like that except with nifty and new 3D graphics. If you haven't then it would take too long to explain.

The PvP is a bit like counter strike with a lot more options for attacks and defense.

Darthsith · Apr 24, 2005, 12:06 PM // 12:06

So pvp is only allowed in designated areas? Is there any player sieging or town-building?

Sorry, I usually look this up myself, but feeling a little lazy right now.

I don't think there is any of the latter two, that seems like an RTS. I think PVP is only allowed in certain areas as you said.

Aww.. hmmm. Oh well.

Yea it does seem like an rts, but there have been mmo's with those two. The best one was... Shadowbane I believe. Had a lot of tech issues though, bugs, exploits, lag, oh yea, and bad visuals to boot. Even with that it still kind of set the bar, played it for quite a bit, and kind of expect those two things in just about any mmo I play now.

Some of us are the all-knowing oracles. You ask a question, we spit out answers. Some of us read the techy stuff, manuals, guides, posts, talk to devs, and so on??? blah blah blah??? so yeah, that is how we know so much. In addition, I am pissed

because I will not be able to play much, at the release. I have all this crap due for school, and finals are in a week.

Blah, damn my professors.
