Not sure which campaign you're talking about but I'm going to assume you mean GW Prophesies. So to answer your question....no, you don't necessarily beat GW when you've finished the missions. However, you do technically finish the story line once you beat the last mission which is Hells Precipice. Other than that...you never really "finish" anything as Hard Mode is opened up and there are other things you can do ie: titles, vanquishing, mapping...among other things.

Tell ya what, play the game through and you'll see what I mean.

there are quests after hells precipice in prophecies but you dont need to do them to beat the game

Technically yes. but there is TONS to do in the GW universe other than the missions and if you just do the missions i would have to say you are really missing out.

I don't think it is possible to "beat" an online game like this. However these may be some ways of "winning":

1. Finishing all missions on a character
2. Unlocking all skills, heros, items, for every profession
3. Collecting all armors
4. Getting as many titles as possible
5. Vanquishing every area

Shayne Hawke · Mar 28, 2009, 05:33 AM // 05:33

Beat the campaign, yeah. Beat GW, no.

Bong Bro Zac · Mar 28, 2009, 07:35 AM // 07:35

when people say they beat proph or factions or NF it means they have beaten the last mission.

Rhamia Darigaz · Mar 28, 2009, 08:35 AM // 08:35

to beat guild wars you have to get a gold cape in a meta that doesn't suck.

BlodyTuga · Mar 28, 2009, 08:52 AM // 08:52

No way, its lots the things to do, when beat the games.

Aciid Bu5t0r · Mar 28, 2009, 09:21 AM // 09:21

If you have ever played 'The Sims', you know what they are talking about. There are just so many things to do, even if you did every mission, have all titles, ... You can still play on to get more armors, more weapons, ....

GW never gets old to me. Try filling your hall of monument with everything you can put inside it

BulletStopper · Mar 28, 2009, 10:17 AM // 10:17

I guess you could say I "beat" Guild Wars since I have
Legendary Cartographer
Legendary Skill Hunter
Legendary Vanquisher
Legendary Guardian

And all the statues for beating the elite mission in my hall. But since i still enjoy playing the game, what I do has changed. Now most of my time is either helping guildies or just bouncing around helping random people.

I've also helped several people here through HM dungeons and such, and have a couple more we are working on a time. The best part - I don't charge for help, but because my help is free, I prob won't drop everything and come running.

Taurean · Mar 28, 2009, 02:20 PM // 14:20

There are many ways to beat it!

In a way, you can say that you have not beaten it until you have collected every skill\elite on every character possible, done every title track\rank, and become successfull in pvp...

But to me, that would seem like playing non stop every day for years, and that is too much for me..

If i can do all the missions, and gain every ranger skill possible on my ranger, then i consider myself successfull in this game...

Yang Whirlwind · Mar 28, 2009, 02:36 PM // 14:36

You have to decide your goals yourself. There's is no "this is the end, you have beaten the game (roll credits)".
The beautiful part is that you can set a goal, achieve it, set a new goal, etc.

Personally, I set my goal at maxing 30 titles on my main character. But, after I achieved this I have added new goals.

TheodenKing · Mar 28, 2009, 02:46 PM // 14:46

Guild Wars never ends... I'd type more, but I have to get back to Guild Wars...

English Warrior · Mar 28, 2009, 02:57 PM // 14:57

To beat the campaigns u go on pvx get 3 good hero builds add some hench then slam your face off your keyboard till u see the credits.

Well you pretty much beat the story line. But you still got the quests from glint and titles.

If you are meaning in like older games and maybe a few more recent ones too, where you beat the game and cannot play on that character or file again then no. Guild Wars will never end. They can't make an ending to a game when there is also a PvP game style. It would just not be fair.
