I also liked GW:EN, but unfortunatly the main story was a tad too short

TaCktiX · Dec 09, 2007, 02:37 PM // 14:37

GW:EN rules. Granted, I'm pretty much everywhere but at the moment (ignored all my other characters for my main for far too long), but I know that when I move my Paragon through it, it'll be replayable.

ANet outdid themselves on the cutscene dialogue. I feel like I can genuinely connect with Gwen's frightened hate at the Charr, with Jora's desire to be known as a great hunter again, with Ogden's noble pleas that his people be saved. Name me another MMO that does that.

The emote'ing henchies and the talking NPCs (anyone else noticed that the higher your rep with the NPC's race gets, the friendlier their comments are to you?) are definitely that extra element that adds to the immersion. Forget the phenomenal graphics (have you SEEN the water effects in GW:EN? Holy crap), all the little nitpicky details finish it out. GW:EN is substance behind all the sheen, something a lot of game-makers should take heed of.

EotN sucks man...very limited game...on teh plus sideu get battle musci when ur lsoing bad or winning well in battle

the thing that's getting annoying to me is that dungeons aint no outposts (or even close to one, for most) having to clean tons of mobs on the way and all that.

i wish most were just like Cathedral of Flames and Heart of Shiverpeaks. or at least, having a way to get back there faster after 1st completion( Town Portal anyone?

) The worst thing being experiencing disconnection while doing a 2 hours one

I didnt start that Frostmaw thing yet because of that, now that i know there are 5 lvls

GW:EN was brilliant!
enough said.
but they coulda put more effort in stuff such as reskins

GW:EN was different from the other 3 games, and I really liked that.

This.

That and its HM is actually hard sometimes!

Saleh No.1 · Dec 12, 2007, 02:20 AM // 02:20

I quite liked GW:EN i took my time going through it to actually enjoy it thoroughly.

Toriyaki · Dec 12, 2007, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Yeah, GW:EN was more fun than Nightfall or Factions IMO, and I've played the game three times over. I'm glad the storyline is short so you can access right on to the high-end stuff, and there's still tons of dungeons to occupy you. Now THOSE are lengthy.

The step up in graphics keep me playing this game.

then go on an age of conan forums and talk about that. this is a guild wars forum.

You know I would agree with this subject, but due the fact that I cannot really find anything particularly interesting in EotN; (pretty much rehash of old ideas) I disagree. The art direction was fantastic, the story did get a bit better, and the reward system did somewhat improve. Nevertheless the game loss it’s “flare” towards the end. When you look deep into EotN, (past the first few hours) you feel like you have done all of this before. It’s far too repetitive for it to hold any replay value; even with the dungeons themselves.

Overall, I think I would have enjoyed another campaign next to the expansion. I just have a feeling Utopia would have turned out to be a bit better in the end.

Buster · Dec 12, 2007, 10:43 AM // 10:43

GW:EN is fun but way too short and there aren't many armors that are appealing to buy unless you just have the basic armor from a previos campaign.

Lol. Nemo's been drinking again.

GW:EN is alright for what it is, an expansion. Anyone expect anything mind blowing and ground breaking will sadly be disappoint. There're lot of great stuff in there, but there're fair share of crappy stuff as well.

McMullen · Dec 12, 2007, 11:25 AM // 11:25

The Asura part of the game in the tarnished coast is easily the best looking of them all (with exception to the rabbit hole in norn land). That's not to say the rest of the game looks shoddy, the dungeons are just too damn dark xD

Sparda · Dec 12, 2007, 03:39 PM // 15:39

It's how you see it for example i didn't like it that much.
It gave me 14 hours of story line fun the full campains gave me a few months of fun.
So in short terms the story line whas strong but skinny.
As for the new titels they hadn't to put them is still wonder why they did it.
As for some of the reskins of armor i do not care im not a big fan off showing off my gear.
im a fan of well thought play through the game.
As for the bosses they they are not smarter and faster (as they promised) for that they deal big blocks of damage.
As for the environment they are just dazzling (thumbs up Anet)
As for the dungeons the concept of it is nice but i do not enjoy the play in dungeons.

My overall idea about the game it is nice but i expected allot more.
IMO the concept of GW Utopia whas better in my eyes.

Ninian_Grace · Dec 12, 2007, 03:45 PM // 15:45

I personnaly liked it. alot of different things from the old guild wars.

too bad Hellgate: London took a hold of me. kinda made me drift away from GW a bit.

Because it's the best looking MMORPG out right now.

You can't compare GW to games not out yet! And there's a reason why Anet is making GW2...

I guess I'm one of those odd birds that likes short games. I never finished Nightfall, and looking back, Factions was actually a decent Chapter, nevermind all the backtracking

But I enjoy GWEN, it's perfect for casual players who want to just pick up some quick skills and enjoy the scenery. I haven't done any of the "leet" Dungeons yet (no real desire to), so I can't comment on that aspect.

Shadow Spirit · Dec 12, 2007, 03:54 PM // 15:54

I've really enjoyed my time with EotN. The quests and dungeons have been really fun. I'm looking forward to playing through it on all my characters.

Let me burst your bubble nice pictures are nice but don't make the game, high res images get old after 10 min.
Innovated Gameplay smooth user interface those specs make the game.
Ohhh yea and a cool and nice story line is also 1 of the things.

This is how i think a game can be rated.

SleetDragon · Dec 12, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

I have to say that its beyond my expectations when I heard they cancelled the campaign and were coming out with this I thought it would be short, boring, and put out to quickly like factions.
Now I do like factions for some parts but as far as all three campaigns go I believe it was one of the, well... more lacking.
EoTN is completely the opposite of what I expected. Scenery Enviroments and new NPC's are breathe taking and deserve some respect even if you dislike the gameplay. Not in most other games can you get a game so graphically beautiful as the entire Guild Wars set of games. EoTN is engaging and interactive and even if you beat the storyline there are still hours of play left just to complete all the dungeons not to mention Hard Mode was just recently released for it. So play the game and Have fun!

freekedoutfish · Dec 12, 2007, 04:10 PM // 16:10

You say "I actually liked ETON" like you expected no to? EOTN is a good game, its just finished really fast and limited on replayability unfortunately. Also as you noted the armors are very much re-skins.
