Is This Good Or Bad? - Guild Wars Forums

ccfrecc · Jan 16, 2010, 05:59 PM // 17:59

O.K., here's the deal. I went out to Best Buy to buy The Guild Wars Triology and I was reading on the package after a few hours into the game (I am playing NightFall), and I see that I can have access to a Level 20 M.O.X. when I become level 10... So I become a level 10 D/Mo and I go get M.O.X. Then I start to notice how easy it is to kill just about anything. So...

Now I am a level 13 D/Mo and I have started to notice that even with the level 17 mobs in Mahanti Keys, It is still way to easy to kill things with M.O.X killing everything in about 2 hits. Now my question to you is: "Is this good or bad?"

I am leaning towards the good side, so, yeah...

And please don't take this as a dumb question as I am just wondering is this a good or bad thing for my game-play experience?

Thank You

What may seem easy now, may become harder later.

Just wait and see...

It's like having a high level person helping you. Early on, he's so much higher level than what you're fighting that it's like godmode. Wait till the enemies become higher level, things will change.

I really like the fact that M.O.X. is there helping me, as it is like CrazyBanshee said:

Oh, and a kind-of funny story of mine:

When I first started Guild Wars NightFall and I was on my second mission (Jokanur Diggings) where I had to kill "Apocrypha" in the "Ancient Istani Ruins", I was only a Level 10 D/Mo and probably had the best collector armor I could get my hands on. So I was right at the bottom of the temple where "Apocrypha" was and I went to go kill him (Note: I did not have M.O.X. with me at the time). I just thought that I would be able to easily kill the boss even though he was

only

level 13. I died in a matter of minutes; So, I tried another approach and brought 2 healers with me this time thinking that they would be able to keep up with the damage... I guess I should have thought that one through because they were able to keep up with the bosses damage output, but we was not able to get him even past 3/4 health (not with both of the healers busy with healing). So, basically I bailed out of there even though we were all still alive, and then I read the front cover of my Guild Wars Trilogy box I bought from Best Buy and it turns out that once I am Level 10, I can go outside Kamadan and get M.O.X. on my team as one of my heroes. So I do that, then I restart the mission and went to go kill "Apocrypha" and I get to the boss and this time I kill him in Seconds! So, pretty much, M.O.X. helped me a ton...

Well That's My Story And Thank You For Your Time...

Well, your still in the tutorial segment of the game. Once you reach 20, your no longer in the tutorial.

Don't get used to M.O.X. as players hate him because he has a AI bug called "M.O.X. trot." It's not super bad, it just annoying that if there is 3-4 enemies around he will run around the battle to attack each of them instead of focusing on just 1.

I'm not sure if they fixed it or not.

Wait until you reach Domain of Pain, the foes there will eat your team alive if your not careful or fast.

Lastly, whisper me in game. I'll be happy to lend a hand as high end stuff is out of the question with a broken mouse. I'm mostly on Zodiac Ele.

Nope, it's not fixed... I sometimes find him just like you said: "Running around bonking one enemy then moves to the next one and bonks that one on the head". It is quite annoying, but he apparently gets part of the job done...

For the same reason he plagiarizes Gamefaqs tutorials and posts this inane crap repeatedly.

Wants attention.

Good in that if it's your nth^3 time through the game it's nice to have someone/thing high leveled to help you.

The issue is with new players giving them a crutch making them think they are good with bad builds...then things suddenly get to hard and they haven't learned whats good and whats bad and how to make builds work well.

Siirius Black · Jan 17, 2010, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Well, if I were you, I will try to do the Eye of the north section. You get 2 heroes, a Monk and an Ele, both level 20th. That is if you have EOTN. Once you do the first misison, you can go back to Nightfall.

scratchdude · Jan 17, 2010, 04:52 AM // 04:52

MOX is lvl 20.

20 is the last level in the game.

You are lvl 10.

You are on the TUTORIAL island.

Enemies are about lvl 12, because it's the TUTORIAL island.

Now. I think that a fully leveled hero can kick the enemy's butt on the TUTORIAL island. Got it?
And as many ppl said earlier, don't get used to MOX, it's a derv hero, which sucks unbelivably (except with a D/Nec order build, which is great for a physical team). EotN is great for lvl20 and fast heros, I greatly suggest you do the beginning of the story line.

Personally, I think it's bad, bad, bad. But it depends upon what you want out of the game. To me, the MOX hero is just a way for crappy players to make it to Kamadan, so they can get a ferry to the docks, so they can be run through the rest of the game, so they can sit around in some town working on their drunkard title.
In other words - it's like using a cheat code. If you want to cheat yourself out of the full fun of playing the game, that's your decision. But, if you can't handle the game without MOX, you really need to work on your character's skills and attributes, imho.

I just brought a new Paragon character through Nightfall's newbie island without using MOX or the Fire Imp. It wasn't difficult.

P.s. I was level 20 before leaving the island.

If you have to ask if it is a good or bad thing, then it is a bad thing. Since you don't know, you aren't aware of what the game offers and why it would be a good or bad thing. If you knew, you wouldn't ask. As noted, it can be good for some people, and bad for others, but since you had to ask, it is obviously a bad thing.
