What campagin do you like best??

I like Proph + Gw:En
I love the look and feel of it and it seems like more time was put into the story, exploration areas and mission/quests then what was put in for cantha or elonia, and i like the way proph and GW:en flow on the same map. The story line is good also the lich king, White Mantle, Stone Summit. Pre sering is alot of fun cantha and Elonia starting areas are very boring and drawn out X(.
even tho Proph is most likely the worst money makeign camp ever its still my fav.
Post you opinons or agreements.
try to change my mind.. if you live thru it

X Cytherea X · Sep 27, 2007, 06:19 PM // 18:19

the Jade Sea and Echovald forest were just awesome imo, so Cantha wins

It's not really fare comparing EoTN to the other three games as it is just an expansion.

Proph is and always has been the best in my opinion.

Proph and Nightfall

Cantha > GWEN > Prophecies > Boring-ass Nightfall

I like them all - Nightfall was disappointing though. The sceneries (with the exception of Vabbian areas) and most missions were horribly annoying, and I ABHOR the Realm of Torment more than anything else I've ever played in this game. Seriously. Which makes NF the worse campaign, IMHO.

Prophecies was and still is my best - different, rich sceneries, fun(ish) missions (don't know why people hated the Jungle, was the place I had the most fun, with the exception of Riverside Province)... I guess I'm nostalgic. Despite I have more fun in Factions and tend to get characters faster through it, I still think Prophecies > everything.

1st place - Prophecies: great length of game, good storyline to follow, and it was the original.

2nd place (tie) - Eye of the North: extremely challenging, great character development of heroes and character interraction

2nd place (tie) - Nightfall: A lot of fun for title hunters like myself (skillhunter, GMC, LB, SS, etc.), good character interraction and personality, maybe a little too much cheese (Drakes on the Plain...need I say more?)

3rd place - Factions: Bringing up the rear in the GW series is not a negative thing, IMO. Great game, but had a few drawbacks. Short story, had to complete missions to explore further in the game, and why don't I get faction for Jade Quarry if I am the only one fighting for it? If no one shows up to challenge me, shouldn't I get credit for winning? Still a great game, and the rit is probably one of the best professions (even though I don't play one), I just prefer the others better.

1.Prophecies is so well-paced it makes people cry, and what amazing skills it has.

2.Nightfall is beautiful in terms of PvE, I like the realm of torment a lot and it is definitely one of the best areas in all 3 campaigns.

3.Factions is kind of too fast, and map is confusing. But anyone and they mother runs an assassin primary or secondary profession, so can't really complain.

thor thunder · Sep 27, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

yeah go Prophecies Very True i love how open and free Proph is unlike NF/cantha you dont have to do a ton of chain quest just to get into a city..Its good to know im not the only fan, i thought i was weird for likeing it so much idk somthing about it, but gosh what so wrong with cantha?? has anyone been to Cavalon lately?? only 3 people there dont bother lol.

o m g pizowned · Sep 27, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

prophecies no questions asked.

Vinraith · Sep 27, 2007, 08:33 PM // 20:33

NF (heroes made the rest of the game playable for me, without them Prophecies would still be gathering dust on a shelf somewhere), Proph, GWEN, Factions, in that order. However, I've never regretted buying a Guild Wars product yet, even Factions was worth playing. It's a shame that more of the game wasn't in the Jade Sea/Echovald Forest area, though. That was definitely the best part of the chapter.

Aera Lure · Sep 27, 2007, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Prophecies for sure.

I had a lot of fun in both Cantha and Elona. Some great scenery and some good missions. I especially had a lot of fun in each the first time I did them, but that's true of course of any campaign.

All my characters completed Prophecies, seven of nine completed Cantha (simply because two characters I fell out of using very much), but only one completed Nightfall. My problem with Nightfall was heroes. More specifically the fact that they were not cross account, and all the dreaded storage issues that created. I got frustrated so much with that, I retired all my characters save one and relegated all my other characters to storage characters. I only play my monk now.

Prophecies > Cantha > Nightfall

Feel very similiar.

Prophies is a given. I like how it kept the feel of knights, dragons, war and midevil times. No real story but i felt like i was apart of something big.

Nightfall. I love my Dervish to death, and the graphics and story was alot more established, + with introduction of heros. Inscribable weapons. I am not to big of a fan of the African look.

Factions. I am a fff. Prot Spirit and Sliver Armor FTW. Story line i thought was rather weak and Canthan cities are hideous.

GWEN. ummmm it was pretty and i like the consumables. Can we say massive reskins from dungeons, monsters, weapons and armor. Any new content for my lvl 20 ?

Proph>NF>Factions>GWEN

The feel of Prophicies is awesome, just like english midevil times. I wish they could of carried that feel over to GWEN. I wouldnt want to turn this thread into a flaming GWEN thread again. But GWEN had the potential to be great but in my experiences, it ended up killing GW for me. sniffle

thetechx · Sep 27, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

factions: my favorite because it looked the best, had the two funnest professions to play, a good story, and made pvp fun.

proph: it comes in a very, very close 2nd place. had a great story and its the original. some good memories of the first play through.

nightfall: comes in last due to the fact that it had the most boring areas. as i have said many times before, nightfall is either a barren desert or barren wasteland. boring.

Shadowfox1125 · Sep 27, 2007, 09:00 PM // 21:00

1. Factions
2. Prophecies
3. GW:En
4. Nightfall - just absolutely hated the environments.

PureEvilYak · Sep 27, 2007, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Factions was by far the best looking expansion. It... has the realistic unrealism look. Thats clear... I mean... well, it was quite a realistic environment (not talking about graphics here), but in an impossible fantasy, way. The Jade Sea could never exist... yet it looked so realistic. And there was always something impressive there to find, like a bonsai tree growing on a rock out of the jade sea, or some green thing sprouting up in the debris of the Echovald Forest.

Of course, pre-searing has a distinctly nostalgic feel, which elevates Prophecies somewhat. And I loved (and still love today) finding stuff from pre in the seared Ascalon. I can only hope GW2 brings a similar experience.

Andisa Kalorn · Sep 27, 2007, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Right now my opinion is that GW:EN>Nightfall>Proph>Factions

There's a lot of things to be fixed still in GW:EN, but I am having so much fun with it so far. Mostly because of the scenery. Also, some of the PvE skills are fun to play around with - summoning creatures still hasn't gotten old for me. And the solo parts, such as the mini-games and solo quests, are fun and interesting, requiring a little more thinking than c-space.

Nightfall is also high on my list because again, I love the scenery. Even in the Desolation and RoT. In fact, I actually prefer those areas, for the same reason I preferred the desert and the fire islands in prophecies. I just really like the sense of isolation - it's like escaping from the city for a while. And conceptually as well as visually, the RoT is just awesome. It's like being in someone's nightmare, and is just so eerie.

Prophecies used to be higher on my list. But then, I've been playing in prophecies recently and can't help but notice that the quality of the scenery just isn't as good as the newer games, particularly GW:EN. And for some reason that makes me like it less. Also, the henchies there suck more than in any other campaign.

Factions... well I'm not saying I disliked factions. I love my rit and find shing jea island and the echovald forest very pretty. It's just that the city is ugly and you spend too much time fighting disgusting plague afflicted creatures. Even most missions outside the city involve hordes of afflicted. Which makes it tedious as well, especially when the only bonus objective is "finish the mission as fast as you can".

MarlinBackna · Sep 27, 2007, 10:10 PM // 22:10

As of this moment, the list for me is Nightfall > GWEN > Factions = Proph

Nightfall was the best constructed game. It was a good length and story, had variety of different missions (which were not too long or short), and RoT was awesome. The inclusion of heroes is also great, and I love running past everything in my Derv runner.

GWEN is next because of the dungeons and of the beauty. I knew I would like the Charr homelands as soon as I saw the loading screen for it. Some of the high-level content is good as well, but armor reskins and the generic story puts it below NF.

Proph and Factions is a tie for me, because they suffered the exact opposite problems (which is probably why NF was so good IMO). Proph was simply way too long and with no reward at the end. I have 12/25 for my Protector title, and I am never motivated to finish it. Factions offered the good environments of the Jade Sea and Shing Jea, but the city was way too generic, and the story was too short.
My 2 cents...:P
