Wth do I do now? - Guild Wars Forums

Archress Shayleigh · Feb 15, 2010, 03:26 PM // 15:26

I've been playing for 2 and a half years now, and pretty much done anything I wanted to do. I have tons of cash, and don't know what to do with it. What do I do with my money or my character?

MagmaRed · Feb 15, 2010, 03:36 PM // 15:36

If there is nothing you want to do in GW, then find a new game. If you don't want to leave your character/money/riches sit idle, then give them to a friend/guild/alliance. Just don't complain if you decide to start playing again and you gave stuff away that you will want.

Do whatever, and buy whatever, floats yer boat.

Have you played all classes to level 20? I just recently made a new Paragon and took it through EotN (been playing 4+ years.). I had a Paragon storage mule (level 12), but I re-rolled him as a her. I've now played all 10 classes and enjoyed every one.
(but it's getting close to burn-out again.)

You could learn to do VSF runs as a perma, RoJ, BiP, FS and HB - that could amuse you for a while. (I haven't done the BiP)

And, you could work on some titles. The real titles like Legendary Protector or Vanquisher - not the kiddie titles (drunk, sweettooth, party animal - the stuff designed to keep the children amused,

) And, no cheating either - no getting a perma or 600/smite to run you through stuff - where's the fun in that.

i have god walking on two characters, and i either pvp or do what my guild is doing. whether it be a normal pve mission or a 4 hour doa run.

aeligos · Feb 15, 2010, 04:05 PM // 16:05

dearest archress

i want to have your problem

you see, i have such a hard time generating gold.. i've been playing for 4 years and the most i've ever accumulated was ~300k

i did manage to get 3 sets of elite armour so now my gold is considerably less

o.o

how did you get so much gold?

i bet you have those uber expensive gaunts, glasses & ninja masks eh?

i don't know... it might just be me... but..., i am having a difficult time feeling bad for you at this point in time.

-.-

I totally agree. Been doing some, but I mean, VQ is boring, protector i already have and guardian is just the same stuff, so it's boring.

No, haven't played all classes because it's boring. I know how to play them from PvP and PvE is the same things all over again. Go here, talk to that guy, kill that boss, go there do that. It's boring. And I already know what's gonna happen so...

What's the point? For more money?

NO WAY. I will NOT grind and waste my life on crap like that. Doing that is more of a waste of time. Plus, I hate grinding.

Btw, does anybody know of a F2P game that is kinda similar to GW?

Just so u understand the situation: My sin has NEVER farmed me over 100k. I play mainly my ranger, almost nothing else. I have 5 sets of elite armor and 985k in bank, silverwing recurve bow, tormented bow, and 5k sweet points. So yeah, spent a few millions of gold on her. tbh, I really don't know how I've gotten so much.

It is just you. Just simply playing the game should net you some good gold. I don't even consider those gauntlets, glasses, masks, etc., to be "uber" expensive.

If you need gold, pick up all your drops - even the white stuff - and merch it. Except, of course, anything that is worth something - sell the good stuff in Kamadan or on Guru forums/auctions.
Also learn to do some good farms, such as VSF, to get some good stuff to sell.

Yeah that's the way to start up the money flow.

Xsiriss · Feb 15, 2010, 04:21 PM // 16:21

Alt+f4,find another game till either some new content is released (haha not likely) or soem real balances (again haha).

Quaker · Feb 15, 2010, 04:27 PM // 16:27

@Archess - I guess only what MagmaRed said is the best answer for you - find some other game to play - for a while at least. I've been looking for one myself. I played WoW for a few months - it's good in it's way. I recently played the beta for Star Trek Online. I've also tried D&D Online, Runes of Magic, and a few others, but haven't found anything yet.
I play TFC (Team Fortress Classic) more than GW, lately, but I have been playing a Paragon these days.

Orange Milk · Feb 15, 2010, 04:31 PM // 16:31

I felt the same way aboout 6 months ago and basically stopped playing except to pop in everynow and then. I think was about the time they killed off TA nd HB.

But now I'm back to spending my spare time on GW's. I never used to do JQ, no I do it alot so it's still kind of new to me and fun.

I'm not going to do all that stuff again on some other character. I have a Ranger that is the only PvE character I have ever gotten to level 20 in 46 months of Gw's. So I'm slowy working on titles for that guy, even though they are boring. An then basically doing whatever the guild is doing.

Once I get all the rust off I'll go back to hardcore PvP.

Asfar as the money goes, I dunno what to tell you but I'm in the same boat, I have everything I want and nothing to spend the money on. I don't go in for the epeen "look and my leet cool stuff" and "Oh I gotta get me one of them Voltaic Spears" like some people. If I like the look of something I'll buy it.

walk away for a few weeks/months and then come back like I did.

Shake N Bake · Feb 15, 2010, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Ok u must do this:
Buy FOW armor an chaos gloves.
Buy a high Rank in a very expensive Title (Zaishen etc.)
Buy a rare Minipet.
Stand arround in towns and show off ur Huge E-peen and pick up chicks.
What's more to want than that in a game.

Introverted Dimensions · Feb 15, 2010, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Brag about it on all the GW fansites.

Or you can just buy rare weapon skins and obsidian armor for all your characters.

done anything I wanted to do

either set yourself a new goal (maxing some tough title or getting three gwamms for example) or change the game. no other option.

get yourself an awesome dragon emote.

Hells Fury · Feb 15, 2010, 06:01 PM // 18:01

Most of the players who played for 4 years have that "problem".
I lost my enthusiasm when it comes to gw long time ago.

I kill my time now with RA, few speed clears, nicholas and stocking up consumables (cupcakes,pies,cons,corns and other useful ones). So you might try that. Don't do stuff you do not find fun and don't buy weps/pets/armor you don't like. I personally think all torm weps are fugly.
My only hope for some game refreshment is upcoming skill balance.
Or if u don't find anything slightly fun at all in gw, try GTA, i'm playing that atm.

@Shake : showing off E peen along with your 5 sets of torm wep, full obsy armor (xcept for chaos gloves) and max gwamm doesn't impress lvl 2 old character in ascalon played by 10 year old fat kid who discovered gw 3 months ago (because the huge amount of those "e peens" you call. They are e peen cause you think so.

Now one is impressed with anything this far in game.

What if archress is female??

If so, she supposed to show off her "Huge" E-chest? Or E-booty? Or E-vag? Well...I take that back on the "huge" E-vag

Option.
Have a contest if you really dont want to spend some your money for yourself. Buy some semi-expensive items and give them away as prizes.

Oh yea one thing about the whole grinding thing/titles/getting bored.

I had the foresight to see that rushing through titles and game would leave me in a position where I'd get bored. When titles came out, it seemed like it was a race for people to max them out as quickly as possible....To be the first on the block to have Gwamm.

I knew if I did the same, I would easy get to a point and lose interest. So I decided to take the turtle route and do what I wanted when I wanted. Do a little here....do a little there. I'm still not at Gwamm, close though. I really think thats helped me continue to enjoy the game and not be too bored with it. Theres so many things that I havent done yet....on purpose. Just a thought.

Kattar · Feb 15, 2010, 06:23 PM // 18:23

Find a new game. Since you've already ruled out titles, there's nothing left for you to do.

So long.
