Idk theres just nothing to do pve wise, and the only way to do a good pvp team is with a guild. If your guildies aren't on you're screwed. The missions become bitches after iron mines, due to stupid noob groups. You can't farm anymore. This game just lacks end game content, what point is there, but pvp, and even that gets repetitive. I've put more than 300+ hours into the game, have my 75k armor, 3 pve characters, and my last slot for my pvp character. I got just about every rune unlocked but superior absorb and fire, Many of the skills. I feel like I have nothing left to do in the game, I still need a few earth skills, but I dont feel like getting my e/n past iron mines, cause it takes 10+ tries with pickup groups, cause you always got the noob/s that will get the group killed or not do shit. Its also impossible to find monks after sanctum cay.

they need to bring back farming i enjoyed that

dansamy · Jun 21, 2005, 04:43 AM // 04:43

I'm still enjoying the game, but mostly because I purchased a 2nd account for myself and joined a guild that does do PvP. The only thing I do on my character on my husband's account now is farm UW/Fissure, just because I haven't seen everything in there yet.

xaanix · Jun 21, 2005, 04:45 AM // 04:45

I'm having a great time in game at the moment.. Started to enjoy it alot more after i swore off farming and pve in general. Now I just pvp full time, and i've got a regular crew of good peeps to run with. Definately enjoying GW at this point.

Jab · Jun 21, 2005, 04:53 AM // 04:53

I actually took a 3 week break from Gw to see if I can get my intrest back, it helped alittle bit, but still The whole been there done that feeling is there. I'm just not seeing anything I really want to do in the game. I really don't want to do huge pvp matches like HOH. Nor spending 125g each time to head into the underworld where I can die in 10 seconds.

I don't think I'm going to be still playing Gw in a month or so.

Paladin_Adoni · Jun 21, 2005, 04:54 AM // 04:54

yeah, map-based genocide (now called farming aparently) is one of the most enjoyable things in these type of games for me.

barely living through a fight. or sprinting off to a safe place to recover before heading back and tackling that group again. I love it

well.. I DID love it.

now every mob has multiple dis-enchants, then maelstrom. and its just rediculous. so I cant do that much anymore.

I dont sell stuff I find (unless i actually catch someone wanting to buy it. but you wont find me pricing things at 50K!!). mine goes to merchants and traders.

but apparently I'm farming, and screwing the economy or something, even though I've never reachd 50K in my 300+ hours of play

King of Fools · Jun 21, 2005, 05:07 AM // 05:07

not i. still having a blast. ok. i did sign up for the auto assault beta and i did start posting in the dark and light forums.

um, hmm, my main is only lvl 17 though in guild wars. i figure once i get back into pvp regularly my interest will pick up again. i guess my big deal is i can only handle so much pve before i stop feeling challenged. i mean once you know how to beat npc monster. its all rinse and repeat after that.

i keep looking for some hidden dungeon under waterfalls and such. spent about an hour trying to find a way to ride in the baskets carrying supplies to that dwarven mine in that help the dwarves series of quests.

Ensign · Jun 21, 2005, 05:15 AM // 05:15

All I do in the game now is PvP. PvE is just tedious boredom, and as I captured the last elite I wanted yesterday there's really no point. Well, I guess I could continue pharming to buy unided runes, but I can't make myself do that anymore.

If I have guildies on to PvP with it's still a blast, but besides that the game is just boring. Sorry.

Peace,

I played a 15 minutes run in UW today but my teamed sucked as one necromancer decided to lure 3 Axe to us becose he took the wrong path and had us killed.
Then I was pissed and quickly quited the game.
That was the only time I played this week. Seems that the things I like the most about about the game right now is looking at the forum suggestions and hoping they get in the next update.

Dude, you've gotten over 300 hours in this game! That is over 15 times the amount of time that I got out of Star Wars: KotOR, and the two games cost the same price. I think that you should probably just shelf the game, wait for the first expansion (coming in first half 2006), and be happy you got so much fun for your 50 bucks.

Edit: Spelling > Me

Paladin_Adoni · Jun 21, 2005, 05:21 AM // 05:21

I still enjoy the game, dont misunderstand me by my above post. I just wish there was more PvE end-game options instead of "Play PvP"

goldfinger · Jun 21, 2005, 05:42 AM // 05:42

Ahhh, see I certainly have not lost my interest. Probably because I am going at quite a slow pace, I had had this game since launch and played 2 beta weekends only to find my primary necro at level 18... I still feel that driving force... I also kind of find myself unintentionally farming... You see, I tend to go on solo romps to any town I can access at the time, and I usually get PRETTY far, having said this I am now swimming in gold weapons, scratch, too many dyes for me to even enjoy, runes, etc. etc. etc. and yet every time one drops it is like christmas to me.

and 300 hours? Oh doctor! Personally, I think a good idea is for john Q bored gamer to start really getting into the UW or FOW, start going heavy in tourny pvp (HoH), and above all get a good guild with frequent players to do this crap with.

Morganas · Jun 21, 2005, 05:48 AM // 05:48

Sounds like you've more or less beaten the pve portion of the game. Either find a good guild (damn hard thing to do) that likes to pvp, or put the game up and play it as you would a FPS, log in once or twice a week for pvp with pickup groups.

Xoduz · Jun 21, 2005, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Why does every "I'm bored thread" start with some sort of comment about noob groups, I'll never know.

Btw, how far have you gotten into UW and FoW?

You answer your own question in your first sentance.

You have to remember that this game isnt about you.. isnt about what YOU have done or how far YOU have got...

You sound like you might be the kind of person to be a little suprised by this, but its about your GUILD.

the game is call GUILD wars... go join a better guild!.. our guild has people like you and they are kept very busy helping out other players, competing in PVP.. we build and test GUILD strategies, we are no where near getting our guild fully competative yet.. go loads of work to do.

I've started rewarding our players by making giving the best ones a little web page.. and rewarding them with badges.

www.sistersofthedagger.com/ds/index.html
(its still under construction so no critics pls)

And... what did you say?.. 300+ hours ??.. I have over 400+ and I'm just starting out on my second character... yea, I take my time.. but your suposed to savour the best things in life.. not rush through them!

I suggest my impatient friend that you try starting your own guild... you've got the characters, the experience.. its very rewarding helping people and building your own guild... completing the game is just the start.

LOL I know the feeling. I am trolling here more than playing there. I got a little bored with it after a month or so, and have taken a little break. I go back in every few days for a 1/2 hour or so, but mostly I am just waiting. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but I think I just burnt myself out on it too quickly what with 8 hour days for a month straight...

A free web-based wargame you can play from anywhere!

Weezer_Blue · Jun 21, 2005, 09:41 AM // 09:41

I'm not losing interest. It's long gone. I refuse to not have fun playing a game. Which means, I'm not going to grind 3,000,000 hours before I get around to PvPing with a guild that is hardly active, or go to the tombs and get pwned with PUG's that don't know wtf they're doing. Unless it's fixed, I'm not buying the expansions. Hopefully my 50 bucks will be sorely missed by A.Net, cause they pretty much screwed all the players that thought this game would be more than every crappy MMORPG ever made. CORPG my ass.

Studio Ghibli · Jun 21, 2005, 10:30 AM // 10:30

Interesting.

Why are you upset with Guild Wars, Weezer?

sojen · Jun 21, 2005, 10:45 AM // 10:45

Because they took out his precious UAS button. He has been pretty pissed since then. Basically I've seen most of his posts ranting about how the UAS is not there and ruined the whole game.. Bah, makes me sick to continue talking about it..

Considering this game was also designed for casual gamers, meaning gamers who normally get to spend about an hour or two a day, its probably not so fast for them to finish the whole game in a week or two. But I myself supposely casual gamer became a crazy addict and pumped like 5-6 hours a day.. o.O Not my usual self... The interest is still in there for me. Perhaps if I play it slow enough until next expansion I might get to enjoy more.
