i was thinking, What is the "Ultimate goal" in GW? Is there one? Since attaining the max level isnt really that great of a feat since it can be done quite quickly, what is the ultimate goal in GW?

To have fun.

Well, Besides that, lol. We all know the main goal in video games is to have fun in all of them, but besides that..

Maybe you should think of it more as a Player vs Player competative game.. I think thats one of the major features of it all. You build your character and try to beat others peoples character. Like a FPS/RPG/STRATEGY hybrid type game.

But ultimatly.. it is what you make of it i guess..

Noahoneill · May 02, 2005, 04:15 AM // 04:15

Yeah, i am, it is after all 'guild wars' where guilds battle eachother (or so i hear), but i also heard that PVP has no real rewards for doing it.. unless i heard wrong?

ocoini · May 02, 2005, 04:17 AM // 04:17

I'm not sure.. yet to play it

But you dont really get a reward if you beat someone in Quake either, other than winning.

But quake's a FPS, GW is a RPG, :-]

ocoini · May 02, 2005, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Well, I think it acctually stops being a "pc traditionall RPG" once you have done all the quests, missions etc. And shifts more to a competative type of a game, unless you REALLY roleplay

Noahoneill · May 02, 2005, 04:25 AM // 04:25

lol, i see. Well, like you, i have still yet to play it also. >.>

The PvE goal is to finish all the quests and missions, get all the skills for your classes, and find the best gear possible. Then wait until the next chapter is released, if you can finish all that before the next chapter comes out that is.

It is very similar to WoW in that regard, as the level in WoW doesn't matter much either since getting to the cap is quick (nowhere near as fast as here but still fast by MMO standards).

the ultimate goal is to reproduce... er.... wrong world..
the ultimate goal is to train and advance not only your character, but also your player style to be the best you can be, and to accept and conquer challenges both scripted and from other players around the world. oh yeah, and to stomp out those pesky koreans =P

GW is an RPG with the goals of an FPS. PvE levels are coop missions, PvP is multiplayer DM/CTF/etc.
