I agree with cosyfiep and Anarkii

Lord-UWR · Mar 28, 2007, 04:22 AM // 04:22

Well the "game plan" for me until GWEN is as follows:

1- Take Anet's advice and max out as many titles as possible, since I have lots of cash just lying around, might as well put them into good use.
2- Play HellGate: London when it arrives.
3- Play some Supreme Commander, and maybe the good ol'Starcraft
4- Play the FPS games I have and the ones I will buy.
5- Work on the Cube, Doom, and Unreal Engines (the "special" versions you get in the "black market") and try to make a game of some kind.
6- Study!!!

I'm probably going to go for MAX Lightbringer since I didn't max it out by afking when it was still possible. (Currently r4) Then I'll probably put more effort into school. (yeah right...)

P A L P H R A M O N D · Mar 28, 2007, 05:41 AM // 05:41

Where did A-net advise us to max titles? Hinting at something?

The Legg · Mar 28, 2007, 07:22 AM // 07:22

Whatever amount of time we have before GW:EN it will be cherished and used to the fullest. I have one of every character to work on, already got them all prot titles on all 3 campains and capped nearly every elite on all of em. Will have explorer titles to do, drunkard titles, sweet tooth titles, treasure hunter titles, wisdom titles, all have legendary survivor already so that dont matter. Then I might go back to ha for a few months get my rank 10 or 11, may put some faction farming work in, always got the glad and champ title tracks to work on.

And the OP says he can be bored? I honestly dont see how you can get bored with this game when there is SOOOOOO much to do. Now with extra incentives to max your titles so you can unlock bonuses when GW2 finally gets here. WOOT

YES!!! THE HALL OF MONUMENTS!!! TITLES PLAY A MAJOR ROLE!!!

Ok, in the yellow box in PCG issue where Anet staff is giving players advice individually on what to do in the remaining time until GW2, many of them advise getting the "maxed tittles" rank(title) as high as possible, maybe 15 maxed titles even, since it will play a major role when you shift over to GW2. I meant KOABD if you are wondering what "maxed titles" title is.

cthulhu reborn · Mar 28, 2007, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Yea I sorta decided to get all protector titles for all my 12 characters....

So I have some work to do still. I dunno where this 9 months comes from cause it might be 6 months too.

In any case I want to be prepared for my hall of monuments

Traveller · Mar 28, 2007, 08:32 AM // 08:32

Well, if we assume GW:EN is out near christmas / Q4, it still leaves quite a bit of time to kill before it. (but if "Holiday season" means summer, they are somewhat better off.)

I don't think solely weekend events can keep people interested for that long. Hard mode can save a lot, depending on how it'll be implemented, but I doubt it alone will keep people playing. Hopefully they launch a Sorrow's Furnace - type of content update, especially if GW:EN is out nearer to christmas than to summer.

Tetris L · Mar 28, 2007, 08:43 AM // 08:43

I'm not concerned about the time 'til GW:EN. There are plenty of things left to do for me, even without hard mode, weekend events, etc.

I'm more concerned about the time after I'm done with GWEN, 'til GW2 comes out. Oh well ... I guess I'll just play a different game to tide me over. After more than 2 years of GW it's about time I try something new.

Surena · Mar 28, 2007, 08:55 AM // 08:55

I'll painfully finish my FoW-Set and should be done by then.

That would be really cool, already been suggested but just something different. I play more during the week than on weekends. I mean that's mainly my preference but I think it would be a nice change to have like a week long event. Something interesting. Or even 2 events in the same weekend. Double Balth faction+Double chance of greens. You will never get bored, unreleastic, but cool.

Me too, "Connoisseur of Confectionaries" sounds so cool....

I think there is still loads to do in GW, especially with the hall of monuments! Cant wait to get some survivor 3's

Ferret · Mar 28, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

Like Cosyfiep, i have 10 characters and loads to do (11 if you include my warrior in Pre-Searing). I may have finished Factions and Nightfall with most of them, but not a single maxed title on any!!!

I do hope the Hall of Monuments works for more than just maxed titles, that would suck a bit.

Anyways, i'll be spending the time getting those that have not done Factions to the end, looking for some elite skills and maybe working on some titles as well as getting on with real life. I may even bother to take a few more characters than my ranger through Prophecies (possibly do the final 2 missions with my mesmer), but i just dont know if i can stand the boring grind again.

I'll certainly be looking forward to GW:EN and will most likely playing that right up to GW2, though still not sure if i'll move across or just keep with GW1, i guess only time will tell.

So you actually think, Anet has told us everything we are going to get the next 9 months? That sounds like going downstairs to the christmastree and seeing all the presents and knowing whats inside.

No, Anet will have something up their sleeve, they always have and they always will. At the moment they announce 'new big things', they probably already worked on this and other things months before.

I think you also forgot to mention 2nd Birthday, Asura Minipet, Djinn Minipet, Rollerbeetle Transmogrifier Potions, Razah-free-for-all, 2nd Dragon Festival and ofcourse the two previews of GW:EN.
Ok, cant say for certain those last two things will come, but if you look at previous events, they always did this.

As above posters, I have 11 characters, 10 PvE of each kind and 1 PvP. I am very close to having them all Protector of Tyria Titles, next after that I am going to work on the other chapters.

Coran Ironclaw · Mar 28, 2007, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Play gvg everynight.

and fight on guru topics.

NeHoMaR · Mar 28, 2007, 03:59 PM // 15:59

9 months? what are you talking about? WHY 9 months? GW2 beta start AFTER July 1st 2008 (second half 2008, confirmed in main website) so, the game could be released "maybe" in April 28th 2009 (my speculation), that are more than TWO years from here. Even MORE time that GW already has live!

EDIT: and GW2 beta is not for everybody, just for me and Gaile! (.... just kidding

)

Ferret · Mar 28, 2007, 04:26 PM // 16:26

What's all this about a Djinn Minipet?

Mordakai · Mar 28, 2007, 04:28 PM // 16:28

Nehomar - we're talking about GE: EN, which is about 9 months away (assuming it launches December 2007).

I'm working on Titles right now.

oh, and, spending way too much time on Guildwarsguru, of course!

True, Anet is definatly got ALOT up their sleeve, I'm curious as to whats up there.

And of course they haven't told us everything, for all we know there will be tons of mini events, and at least 3 or 4 big ones before GW:EN comes out. But I'm hoping we get the chance to purchase some sort of Sorrows Furnace sort of upgrade. Perhaps a little Dungeon to show us what GW:EN will be like?

Either way.... these next 9 months will be full of surprises...hopefully.
