All games are "the best" when I first start getting into them and enjoying them. Nostalgia is always a fun feelin'.

SirSausage · Apr 28, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

The times before LS and the loot-nerf. Oh and also when Hard-mode was introduced.

Between when Sorrow's Furnace was released and when Factions was released. Talk about excitment in the air...you couldn't go into a town without tons of activity, even in the furthest reaches of the game.

PvP-wise: Post-launch Guild Wars with only Prophecies

PvE-wise: Probably now.

I don't care about other players or Ursan (only used it once, in that mission which required it). But I do enjoy my 128 heroes, the 93849 weapon and armor skins, the 3 continents + expansion, the dozens of dungeons and elite areas, filling up my HoM with crap to work towards GW2 etc. pp.
I kinda miss some balanced (and open) PvP though, but then again I just hope it will be done right in GW2.

The best was when THK was hard. So basically, before factions.

I do agree that hard and challenging missions are a good thing.
But I really hated the times when I was DEPENDENT on stupid and uninfused PUGs with RANDOM skillbars. Being stuck on a mission for two weeks simply sucks.

(Although once A.Net infused the Henchies, it actually was alright.)

GW was definitely way better when only prophecies was there. With the release of Factions, faction farming was introduced and that was the first step towards failure. Then PvE titles came out followed closely by PvE skills and there you go, the game turned into a mindless grind fest...gg.

Dr Strangelove · Apr 28, 2008, 08:07 PM // 20:07

Just after the Factions release for me. Factions was by far the best campaign.

back in the day when trading dyes around for 50g profits. That was the good life

Chasing Squirrels · Apr 28, 2008, 08:33 PM // 20:33

GW's was the best when it first released there were no heroes/titles/ursan/etc.

There were some fun times, but it usually burns quick like a candle and then your whole guild is bored, or something gets nerfed, or whatever. It's been too disposable overall, poor design in terms of just letting people have fun so everyone leaves and it's even less fun.

Seffapotamus · Apr 28, 2008, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Although the OP is slightly exaggerated... The first 12 months of GW were the best.

The betas were incredibly ballin' too

Malice Black · Apr 28, 2008, 11:13 PM // 23:13

Anytime before Factions. Got worse with age. Or maybe I just got more boring...w/e

Food · Apr 28, 2008, 11:26 PM // 23:26

Back in Prophecies, period. There was no title farming, no ursan, or even cheap builds, i.e., touchers. Prophecies was really the only time when people actually played for fun and enjoyment rather than grinding for title tracks. :/ hopefully GW2 will solve everything. Which it probably wouldn't.

Kittani · Apr 28, 2008, 11:36 PM // 23:36

I had my best times in the Prophecies reign. Loved the Sorrows update and all the excitement it generated, everyone was buzzing. Getting your first set of 15k armour, 8v8 HoH, waiting for your region to get enough wins so you could get into UW.

I'm still playing the game now, as much as I enjoy all the additional content that's been introduced over the years - for me, nothing beats the original. Good times

BladeWind · Apr 28, 2008, 11:38 PM // 23:38

When Ascalon was khylo.

When there was 4 hats at wintersday

When Ecto's were 200g and nobody bought them.

When i had a plus 10 energy wand.And thought it was leet.(i dye'd it green)

When tyrian armour wasnt insigable(even though that rocks) /sigh

Good times good times...

oh and Fort Koga Out-post!/orrian guild hall -_-

KamikazeChicken · Apr 28, 2008, 11:46 PM // 23:46

I had the most fun in the game during the beta weekends and the first 3 months of release.

Alex the Great · Apr 29, 2008, 12:10 AM // 00:10

lol, half the people here like it now, half liked it when it first came out.

It's like when old people talk about the "Good old days" they forget to mention all the influenza, poverty, war, and Nazis.

things are still better now, and if they nerfed ursan blessing they would be better still (I hate monking for ursans!!)

[DE] · Apr 29, 2008, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Before the Koreans left

ShadowsRequiem · Apr 29, 2008, 12:17 AM // 00:17
