Any guild that asks for an Ursan rank as a requirement fails on its own.

You don't need Ursan for anything, it is completely useless. A well setup group of players should be able to roll anything. But omg, it is too difficult to sit and talk about opinions and strategies to overcome a united goal. Not only that, it defiles nearly all you can/will accomplish. I will never get the skill and personally and I don't want it.

How do you even consider it grind? Max the titles with a books, should take no more than 2 days for a rep title.

I played through eton without grinding at all. You can choose to grind or not. Too small to be worth the original price but I liked it at least.

I do like Eye of the North and it has Pros and Cons that go with it.

Pros- New heros, Norn (which I hope are playable in GW2), New armor (I personally like the silver eagle armor),Ursan skill, Replayable missions and dungeons, and weapons.

Cons- Story line to short, Grinding for titles, and Ursan skill(its a double edge sword).

I liked the time it was originaly released first week or two. Before ursan became what it is and PVE skills where just being discovered. Lots of people saying it is uber hard (shards of orr)

I agree it lost luster once I figured out all the grinding envolved.

The only bad thing it has is having to increase yet more character-based grind titles.

Once they fix the grind (and they will have to do so, sooner or later), EotN will be more enjoyable.

Eye of the North was fun! It should have been about 10 USD Less in price at time of release but oh well. Fun game and glad I bought it.

I'm still wondering what the "Utopia Project's" main villain would have been.

Nonetheless, EotN was a joke. That's all I have to say about it... one lousy excuse for a reason to keep players at bay for two years and possibly more...

On a whole I like the game, the dungeons were fun, kind of what I've always wanted, an elite mission I can take my heroes into with a decent reward at the end. The individual missions for the story were interesting enough, the heroes are awesome, the foes were definitely a step up from the other campaigns(being multi-lass and all, though I kind of feel the destroyers were a little underpowered, they should have had the D-hopes be N/rts, the D-bones be earthshaker>After Shockers, the D-Flesh be W/Rt with splinter weapon, and such). The PvE skills, while controversial were fun( c'mon, assassin in a can is awesome...)

My only real disappointment is with the side quests and games, like Polymock, I was hoping it would be a PvP sort of thing, same deal with the dwarf boxing.

I also would have liked to see elite PvE skills in the other tracks, like maybe a summon golem 3.0 for the asurans(works like charm animal, put it in your bar and it works like a destruction's depths golem) , or that shout of rage that killroy does in sorrows furnace(only have it put your name up there). Maybe a call seige devourer in the vanguard line(I know "b0rken imba qq" but you kow you want to drive that thing allllll over the place...)

Default I loved it and Hated it

Thats right, i loved it and i hated it. I loved it because anything anet does for Guild Wars i love, but that just me, not to mention i loved how they fit the storyline. As for Grind, i didn't grind for any of the title, i did NM/HM with alliance mates and have a Blast doing it. I have maxed All 5 titles as well. I didn't Work my ass off and grind, hell i didn't even use the Norn farm to max Norn, i used my HM dungeon book. Eye is a blast for me. Now the reason i hate it, simple, too short, it need to be longer, have more exploreable places, more towns, more everything, but i still loved it more then i hated it. So shoot me or what ever, but i liked Eye.

EotN was pathetic. I still can't understand Anet's point of making something so unenjoyable. Although I bought it when it came out for $30, I dont think it is worth the $10 it goes for now.

HoM IMO was a good idea. I like putting my armor, my favorite heroes in giant statues, I get that epic feelin' n' whatnot.

The story was a blast the first time through. But to get the armor that I want, I should not have to re-do some of the missions, just to get the rank to see the matts I need for the armor without "/wiki"ing beforehand.(And on top of that, they were reskins)

Eye of the North is the weakest entry in the series, in my opinion. It is much shallower than the other campaigns, as it revolves around simplistic super-skills that require next to no thought or strategy to use at their full effectiveness (only grind).

Yup, I thought it was delightful. I played it through and didn't bother with any of the grind.
