I like all the flames going towards complainers because they have a different opinion on Nightfall then the rest of you do that's awesome.

I complain about somethings, I still have fun but it's forced fun usually, game isn't fun when I can't make a large chunk of money fast enough. People usually bring things down so it's not fun to play with em all the time.

Complaining is a form of communication, and it can be effective or ineffective. As for myself, I am enjoying the game. I have all 3 campaigns. There are some rough edges here and there that could be polished but over all the game is a winner.

I still think the social scene in Guild Wars is a little fractured due to the spread across campaigns, Heroes, henchies and instanced areas. Those things present some challenges when it comes to meeting people and grouping with the same peeps on a consistent basis.

Ultimately, Guild Wars is best played with friends, of whatever stripe.

None of the "nerfs" have bothered me. I like everything in Nightfall except for the heroes system, which I think needs quite a few changes. Unfortunately I don't think those changes will happen.

Hooray, a player who enjoys the game. I started to think I was the only one.

I'm still very happy with this game even having it for about 16 months now. Sure, the game has a few rough spots but every game does and you can't expect that a game will ever be perfect, you just gotta learn to adapt to the nerfs or get out of the game. One thing I would like to see more of though is expanded content for the older campaigns. I was thrilled when SF was introduced and I am excited for the NF update (even though that stuff was supposed to be in at launch). Perhaps Anet could do some sort of Factions exspansion after they finish the NF one because if you can keep all the games fresh you will attract more people to get all the games instead of just the latest one.

Good to see we stillhave some non-complainers.

Contempt · Nov 15, 2006, 06:53 AM // 06:53

So you made a thread just to say you're not complaining about anything? You might as well have posted "Hey everyone look at me!!!!"...

Sort of like your own post?

Thallandor · Nov 15, 2006, 07:14 AM // 07:14

To the OP, as some might tell you already, thats how the forums works overall. Negativity breeds more dicussions and attention and some confrontation as an side effect.

Imagine comming onto the forums one day and find the forum filled with threads like "Anet we luv u <3 <3 <3 ^_^" or the stickied 11589 paged "official greet Gaile morning thread ^^V".

In a nutshell, its normal and there will always be someone debuking/supporting someone else's views one way or another.

Contempt · Nov 15, 2006, 07:16 AM // 07:16

No not like my post because I didn't start a thread just to draw attention to myself and top it off with an ambiguious title to draw in even more views... and how clever, use anything I say and turn it around to be directed at me... "I know you are but what am I?"

Really, nice job. You're the FIRST person to ever think of that. I mean, not even a pre-schooler could think of that.

Perynne · Nov 15, 2006, 07:52 AM // 07:52

I like all of the games. Factions was the first one I played through, and while I can understand why people complain about it especially when compared with Prophecies, I still think on the whole the game was great. I still haven't finished Nightfall, but so far I'm liking it. I think each game has it's own qualities that make them stand out from each other and make them fun to play. As for nerfs, PUGs, heroes and drop-rates... well, of course it sucks that you can't get green drops from every other boss, that you are forced to come up with new strategies and use new skills because your favourite skill got nerfed, and that the game tends to harbor idiots as well as great players, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Changes in gameplay keep it interesting, even if things don't always go as planned.

And the general rule usually seems to be that it's more fun and easier to complain than to praise.

You can't please everyone, and complainers generally tend to be more vocal about their displeasure.

So tell me again how your post was clever and oh so brilliant and also not to draw attention to yourself? Just by posting you're trying to draw attention so someone can respond....that's what the point of posting is.

I have only been playing GW for about 6 months so far. And I have no complaints about the game at all except for....

1) There is just sooo much to do. When I log on it takes me a few secs to decide which character I want to use. Whether I want to do some farming or running or complete a few missions or PvP..... Ghaa, the choices are endless. I'm like a kid in a candy store. And I don't even have nightfall yet.

2)This is no bodies fault but my own. I have no life since I found GW's.
Friends have stopped calling me and inviting me out because I'm like " Ahh, I'd love to but it's a double faction point weekend". They are like WTF.

But sorry I digress. Sure people complain a lot, but I find that even the complaints can be sometimes entertaining and are usually informative to some point. If not the original post then at least the replys are anyway.

Good to see so many people are still enjoying GW's. It is a great game.

Now I'm off to try and decide what to do tonight.... Agggh the choices.

Oh yeah, QFT! This post is exactly how I feel

Lord Sojar · Nov 15, 2006, 08:33 AM // 08:33

I have no complaints about Guild Wars atm... except running elona's reach... that is just plain silly....

I think the hero system has discouraged the multiplayer element of the game too much, but I still LIKE the hero system. For when you can't find that human monk, Dunkoro does a superb job.

Other then that, Nightfall is great so far. I haven't beat it, I have been tanking too much in FoW on my dervish to finish it. I haven't even gone to RA much, or HA. Makes me sort of sad...

Most people that you say complain are not directly complaining about the nightfall game itself.. because i belive that most of us feel that nightfall is a great game.

but we are complaining to try and fix the broken ai system that the most recent ai "update" has spawned.

and we also complain about the fact that we feel the game is becoming less open ended.

you see people like me who have been around a long time have developed a feel for this game. kinda like gravity. you know its gonna be there and you know what it feels like.

so when the "gravity" of the game was changed. alota the old salts "myself included" got pretty angry at the changes.

we still feel the changes are wrong. but that in no way makes us dislike nightfall as a game.

i have said it once and i will say it again.. had it not been for the update.. i belive that nightfall would be pretty close to the best gw game so far.

although some would argue. the evidence stands. when threads that have complaints about the new ai system reach near 20 pages and over three hundred posts..

somthing is obviously wrong.. and the majority does not like it.

I hope that clears up your misconceptions about the complaints made on this forum. and i hope you can understand that complaints are a neccisary part of fixing an obvious problem..

Yep, that's me as well! Although I did LOL @ "I can't come out, it's double faction weekend!"... hee hee

Well, I have one basic rule...The Ele does it first. My E/N is my first, favourite and most loved character so she goes through the campaigns first. As for all the others...yes, when i start to play one of the characters I remember why I like it so much...then I move to another one and I'm like "how can I choose?".
