Hello there, I was wondering if any of you that remade your main character had any regrets whatsoever. I'm currently a little bored of the game, and noticed there are some small things I would like changed on my char. Plus, it's always fun to start fresh I've heard.

I know I can't bring that fresh "newbie" feeling again to have fun with the game, but perhaps a simple remake can do it? The char has Obsidian, and many titles maxed/hours played. I really want to remake him, however many friends yell at me not to.

Thanks for any insight!

Don't.

Roll another char of the same profession.

I actually struggled with this myself. I decided to place my current "main" on the shelf and make a new char to be my "main." I've since been able to enjoy having two very well developed characters each with entirely different things I like about them. When I get bored with playing one, I'll jump to the other.

For me it has been most enjoyable to have two developed characters to switch between, rather than just one "main" or a dozen characters of each profession that I play with.

i remade one of my more played characters that had many 15k armors (not obsidian) and beat all the games but no real titles to speak of. I didn't regret that but i think i'd regret remaking my actual main character.

I've put my main aside and played another character as a "main" and totally enjoyed it and brought back some fun, but it's always great going back to my most cherished character.

Yes, I re-created my character from the original Guild Wars beta events, at the launch of the game.

The only saving fact is the 1st few months, there was that glitch that reset every characters age in the game back to zero.

I would not delete Eternal now to remark her.

Agreed. Would be a better choice to do this. That way there's no chance for regrets later.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've tried playing a char of the same class, however I just prefer my main's name, heh. I tried playing other classes, however they usually just get deleted because I have a horrible curse that makes me want a good RP name.

I'm more of a one char type person, that's why I'm just strongly leaning towards remaking him. Decisions, decisions!

You'll regret it mate.

Agreed on rolling a second character, not remaking.

I wanna do it myself for my ele and ranger because i'm growing to hate the male casting animations and (imo) rangers look so much better firing the bow horizontal, plus losing the bow when preps looks wierd.

GW is a game with much less 'regrets' than other games.

You don't need make another character of the same profession, it would be almost the same.

By re-rolling, you only get:
- Appearance change.
- Name change.
- Quest reset.
- Mission rewards reset.
- Ability to Retry Survivor and LdoA.

And you lose:
- Character-based titles.
- Customized items.
- Acquired skills.
- Any unlocked outpost.
- Hours of gameplay.

The BEST choice is making another cahracter of a DIFFERENT profession.

My first character was a ranger and up until a few months ago I had been wondering why my ranger wasn't as effective as others that I started to come across in AB matches. Problem was I invested in all the wrong skills and so he wasn't very fun to play.

I have beat all the games with him and even now that I've started using him again I'm not really satisfied and want to start fresh, but my friends tell me the same thing.

I had a male Derv w/ vabbian and deleted him to make a Female derv w/ vabbian. I later deleted the female derv to make a male warrior w/ elite sunspear. I have since deleted my war and remade another derv. In short, boredom makes you do things you otherwise regret. Go work on titles or something, rather than spending a lot of time to go back to the position you were in before

You want to just remake the char while it has FoW armor....that's a lot of work. It must have taken me months in between work and college to obtain my FoW....
I wouldn't even think of deleting my main char. My vote is the same, make a new in a new slot.

Molock · Apr 21, 2008, 07:11 PM // 19:11

I am really disappointed that my elementalist is my main at the moment. I recently restarted playing warrior in PvE after 1-1.5 years and have so much catching up to do in term of titles, armor sets, weapons and builds. I was having difficulties Vanquishing with my ele, but my warrior makes things so easy.. perma SY + triple necro sabway >> PvE

Don't delete any characters, just re-roll ( I deleted my monk and really hate myself for that)
I went Monk(delete)>Warrior>Elementalist>Ranger>Monk(dele te)> Necro(delete), Elementalist (for a long time now) and am considering going back to Warrior.

Nothing To Add.

I don't have a primary charecter.. I have:

Mesmer
Ritualist
Warrior
Dervish
Monk
Elementalist

and I just play whatever one fits my mood. For PVP I usually role a PVP char although I really should work on getting more elites unlocked on my PVE chars so I can just use them.

Richardt · Apr 21, 2008, 07:16 PM // 19:16

I pretty did what Avai did.

I made a paragon to help support my friends in helping them get the titles they helped me on with my warrior, and I liked it so much that my 'gon has pretty much become my main guy.

And in a little bit, I get to brag that I have two characters with Legendary Master of the North

Sir Pandra Pierva · Apr 21, 2008, 07:28 PM // 19:28

i dont have a main but dont remake your main unless you really really really want to.

its almost never worth it.

my main used to be a female warrior, but the lack of good armors made me sad. So I re-rolled into a male warrior and he became my main.
5 max titles later and 3 going on 4 sets of elite armor.

i think i made the right choice

This is what I did, leaving my 1st Tyrian Warrior in favor of my Canthan one. Then I got bored, deleted my decked out Canthan War and played through everything again with my Tyrian War. Then everything started to get a little boring.
