Curse

I have taken a massive break from the game and have finally returned but to my surprise it seems everything's dead now, can never find a group towns seem quiet no one running or anything like that etc..

so what is everyone doing in the game these days i feel like starting completely fresh new character and such so what do people do for fun, what do people do for cash, what do guilds do now, how do you spend your days in guild wars now?

grind for the HoM. and pugs outside zquests are almsot non-existent outside of guilds/elite areas.

also alot of people are grinding money and stuff which also works. the pvp scene isnt nearly as active as it used to be and the game has gone a bit to the pve side.

Mostly I pop on to do the odd Z-Quest or WiK Bounty, sometimes I'll help a friend out with something if they're on.

Otherwise simply waiting until the seven hero update so I can advance in the WiK storyline quests. I've gotten sick of fruitlessly spamming LFG for those quests for hours on end. I know some people are against the 7-hero thing but seriously I don't see how it'll make pugging any more difficult or scarce than it already is.

These last few days, I've just been using tonics and sweets...

Sheesh, I'm only buying spammable ones from now on... I could have made the difference in price in gold if I'd been working on getting gold instead...

And worst of all, some new guys in the guild could have used my company...

Currently dealing with some unnecessary guild drama and running the final stretch of my GWAMM. Consequently, I'm debating whether or not to pay runners for the rest of my dungeons.

why wait, you can do it all h/h? Andd, you know, guilds are nice, lots of playmates waiting for you

**cosyfiep** · Jan 04, 2011, 10:41 AM // 10:41

working on the last few titles I CAN get (gotta get them all type thing---minus pvp ones)....which means vanquishing--finished cantha, still have 1/2 of elona and most of prophecies to do (not looking forward to that)...and then trying to get my noob rit into a doa group to finish that title as well (and get me an armbrace)....

then its off to afk for lucky/unlucky in the canthan new years....a couple of days I watch my heat on my computer rise......

AndrewSX · Jan 04, 2011, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Mostly doing GWAMM and grinding for HoM i guess...and waiting GW2.

Used to play Hero Battles only , so now i don't have much to do. I gave up on HA after i got r12 few months ago . I randomly log on to do some JQ , which is for me the only fun and especially FAIR form of PvP in the game left.

Veldan · Jan 04, 2011, 11:42 AM // 11:42

how's JQ fair?

1. the yellow luxon archers don't shoot the yellow jugger, but the yellow kurzick archers do shoot the yellow turtle
2. if it's 10-10, no matter who got to 10 points first, kurzick always wins

on topic: trying to finish my 30th max title, and doing some JQ

novawhiz · Jan 04, 2011, 11:42 AM // 11:42

Make money, buy stupid stuff, sell stuff, buy stuff, sell stuff, repeat. And somewhere in there mess with random people and guildies

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · Jan 04, 2011, 12:09 PM // 12:09

waiting for full hero, cuz i'm kinda slow, and the guilds i joined before died, so i left em all, and the active friends are mostly busy with own stuff, so no time to help me

then i farm for nicholas if its not too hard
and i chat more than i walk in gw

as for what i do lately except for that, i use my wii, and play zelda OoT, just until full hero gets here

as for pugs, they suck, as its:
1. they only want "elite" players to join
2. they are worse at gw than i am (so sometimes i help people at the start of a campaign)

so now that i got traveler gifts, i wont do gw for some

Hobbs · Jan 04, 2011, 12:23 PM // 12:23

MQSCing my way to r12 Luxon, which will get me GWAMM. After that I might make a Rt and try getting survivor.

Yes , but those aren't really deciding most games. You don't lose/win all games because of these. Builds especially matter , but how smart players are too. It's not really fair for luxons on those cases , but it's nothing compared to , for example , 1v1 halls koth as red , where , no matter your tactic/builds , red loses 95% of time.

on topic : also farming kurzic chests in order to get echovalds

MithranArkanere · Jan 04, 2011, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Well, I'm 6 ecto away from obsidian armor, and 66 keys away from a filled HoM.

After that, I'll I will have left to do is getting a 30th title. But all that are left are the account-wide ones, which are rather annoying to get. So I'll suppose that I will spend a lot of time questing and vanquishing in the jade sea, since I don't like SCs or chest runs.

Star_Jewel · Jan 04, 2011, 01:46 PM // 13:46

I've never PUG'ed, and I'm still new enough that there's plenty I haven't done yet. I'm working on titles, which are helping to force me to have courage and do some of those new and intimidating things (H/H'd, so no one rages at me for sucking). And I'm helping a friend teach another friend how to play.

It's not really a PUG'ers game anymore. They tend to pick up when there's new content (War in Kryta), so I'd imagine we'll see more when the Winds of Change stuff comes out (unless the 7-heroes thing hits at the same time).

I've played on Kurzick where we got the 10th point a shade ahead and still lost.
