And how exactly did your comment add to the conversation?

Anyway, I remember when people actually partied for missions and quest's. Ever since they added heroes, the game seems to become more and more of a chore to play.

I remember when I still ran [skill]meteor shower[/skill] and [skill]eruption[/skill] on my Warrior (my first character), because in the Prophecies manual it said warriors like to get up close and personal, and have high armor, and elementalists are capable of dishing out the most damage of all profesions

I remember my disappointment when I realized I could not go back in presearing once I left it!

I always loved the beautiful serene atmosphere of presearing!

Whose arse did you pull that from?

Anyways, I remember mostly how fun it was being a total noob... I still play, but the freshness of it all was quite great the first time through Prophecies. Factions, and certianly not Nightfall, never had the "magic" for me. I still make almost all of my characters in Prophecies.

I remember, and totally miss free chests.

Keys were the worst addition ever.

ogre-mage · May 28, 2007, 05:33 AM // 05:33

I remember when the game wasn't a giant pile of dev-team crucified garbage. Wasn't too long after the release of Factions, actually.

I remember my first ecto, and I remember when 1 g was alot. So I went into Uw alot, and got alot of ectos, and sold em to the merchant for 1 g each....

gg Mickey, gg

Buzz Hunter · May 28, 2007, 05:55 AM // 05:55

I remember paying over 70k for my celestial sigil at the merchant to start my guild....

And when the 55 craze hit and all superior monk runes were going for 25 k plus.....

I remember the journey from Pre-Searing to Lions Arch done with my bugged PvP Mesmer.
I remember when The Craig arena was 6v6 Capture the Relic (and winning alot there)
I remember getting burninated by Gwen.
I remember the uber fun of 8v8v8v8v8v8 Burial Grounds play (and the completely unfun 20+ minutes waits when no team wanted to attack first)
I remember me farmerzoring my first ~300k by killing masses of lv16-18 mobs, before any kind of antifarm code existed.
I remember (and miss) the times when rare (gold) items were actually rare and couldnt be simply made of cheap components...
...
I think i could write a book, rotflmao, need to stop now

Even I can remember that one! (Been playing about a year).

Hate inscribable weapons. (Combine a shitty req 9 + a shitty req 12 and have a perfect weapon). Beh.
Hate hero's.
Hate etc. etc.
Love the game. More or less. But I play less and less, I must say.

I remember when Local Chat wasnt filled with so much spam.

hr1100 · May 28, 2007, 10:47 AM // 10:47

i remember that it took me 2 days to kill Galrath, thats before the update that raised the experience reward, and playing in crystal desert with my post-searing Ascalon armor

God Apprentice · May 28, 2007, 10:56 AM // 10:56

When Black dye was 47k, and ectos could be salvaged from glittering dust

Every time i lag · May 28, 2007, 11:37 AM // 11:37

-old griffon farming, ='(
-sup absorption for 100k?
-found an ecto and almost sold to merchant

zakaria · May 28, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

i remember when ppl were advertising in Ascalon to join their guilds and everyone was anxious to join guilds, i remember when my guild leader in first guild i joined asked all the guild to collect gold enough to buy sigil (when it was worht 100 K

) for guild hall, we work as team without fear of getting scammed and we bought our guild hall in matter of 2 weeks...good old days when ppl where eager to help and work as team....sigh.

I'm playing guild wars for almost 2 years and played it A Lot

I miss the time when i played with my elementist in pre searing and it was so fun to see the flowers ,going to post searing and getting in ascalon with a lot of missions. It was so excited for me.

I miss the time when we all could play in the missions with pugs and not hero or hencmens.It was so fun to do Kryta missions with people

I miss the helping part of people.
I miss : The older template skin of guild wars

I remember: The buy ecto's for 250g time , No keys for chests
I remember : Totpk with the competive plays with no care about rank

A-net screwed a lot of things up

Phrozenflame · May 28, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I hope the Anet is reading this one....They added alot of new stuff, new items etc etc....but in process of doing it they lost out the 'essence' of what guild wars was all about.

I hope GW:EN tries to put back what we have lost

.

- I hope there are some human-only missions where you are not allowed to show your titles/ranks.

- I remember playing PvP when there were Ele lightning spike build..chian lightning and bang 4 opponents dead!
- Where I sold I think a goodrare brute sword for 2k omg :/ [lvl 12!]
- Free chests
- I sold black-dye in pre-searing for 70g! :'(
- Pre-searing was so beautifull...
- When people used to play the game, not trade, I must admit I earn more money now trading than playing, what can I do, everything is so over-farmed etc, I need my FoW

- How the entire world was pissed when protective bond was it? got nerfed.
- When factions came and I hated it lol
- Monk Strike at THK! and even the Anet people came and got mixed with players.
- Where forming teams was fun and you actually needed skilled people.
- When I was like Akh!! This guy is the Lich!!
- When I got ub3r confused with storyline because I did a run to droks :/ , I re-did several missions to get a hang of it.

Alot more..

By far this has been one of the best posts we have seen in several weeks...I hope Anet recaptures the 'essence' what guildwars was all about. I dont wish to criticise Anet, but the focus from thiere strength of GW 'team-play' shifted to differentiating the newer campaigns by adding Heroes etc. Now I think I get some idea why GW-EN will be the last part.

PLS re-capture the essence of Prophecies. Quit with the running restrictions, Nobody wants to repeat what they have already done....or something like that.

Thank You
