Yeah, I get bored of GW too. I am PvE-only, so these days I need to be creative to get my interest up. I certainly dont feel like playing the missions and quests anymore. I dont really feel the need to try and collect more weapons and armor skins, as everyone has a 15k set or what I wish them to have, as well as a full suite of various weapons. I've no real urge to collect titles.

I used to do a lot of running when bored. The gameplay of running, and the challenge, is actually a lot of fun. Takes a bit of skill to be quick and efficient, as well as competent in certain areas. That used to be appreciated and I had a lot of fun meeting people and chatting with them while doing that. Sometimes that would get me playing too. Lately runners arent treated as well, so I dont do this much anymore either. Still, its the one fun thing I do from time to time when I want to log on and see what is going on in GW.

The other is of course UW, but that's dwindled for me a bit too since I am not really motivated any longer by collecting more ecto. Just leads to another armor skin and I lost interest in that. The gameplay in UW is fun though, so I hop in there from time to time.

Currently waiting on Nightfall to see what play elements are added to PvE. I do a bit of running here and there simply for the fun of it. Keep up to date on the forums. Play another game when I need to etc, like most others have said here.

waiting on Nightfall as well but i dont think it will revolutionize the way we see and play guildwars so in a couple of months after Nightfall is release another one of these thread will pop up again.

It sounds like you play too much.

Malice Black · Aug 03, 2006, 04:36 PM // 16:36

i also know how you feel BUT i went the whole way and did the /uninstall thing, i gave away my account to an in-game friend...however due to the fact that i have nothing else to play i reordered the game...cant wait to get started on the ascalon missions again..well kinda

im going to play the game differently this time..no droks/grotto runs no running period ect just going to play thru the game slowly but with the added experiance of having had done nearly every mission/quest before

my suggestion if you are REALLY bored...delete all your lvl20s and start from scratch...that will keep you going till nightfall arrives

I have been in this mode for little while now, I went and got my lvl 2
treasure hunter title, and have learned how to run pretty good, but even after getting
a few titles for my toons, the excitement of it wears off pretty fast.
I am planning to learn some pvp now, but I think that is going to be a
challenge to get guildies to try, our guild loves to AB and FF but not gvg,
so that is my goal for now.

actionjack · Aug 03, 2006, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Personally.. if you got bore.. if you start questioning the purpose of playing.. than just don't play.

Go on vocation (to other games) for few days or week, and if you get that tingling feeling of wanting to get back to the game again, than that is great, and if not, just go on to play other games, and come back when there are new things, or just to chat with old friend.

Keep in mind that GW is meant to be casual, and should be kept casual.

Mustache Mayhem · Aug 03, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

yep pretty much done with guildwars until nightfall.. factions was cool.. there's alot of neat things as far as skill points and xp powerleveling you did'nt have before and that made a pretty fast campaign.. it took alot longer to get what you wanted in prophecies across characters.. but basically had a nice base from the old game comming in too- unlocked all skills and elites in no time- it was alot easier to cap.. really liked the difficulty when factions was released- but the braindead will have thier way as usual lol the pve game's way easy now but that's my opinion

I hope nightfall is on par with the difficulty factions had on release.. had a blast those first couple weeks

I was bent on the assassin being a non pve character until I made a nice assassin's promise build that owns pve with henchmen.. so all classes are pretty much viable- overall good 2nd game without the droves of idiots that infest it (again my opinion- it seems to me alot of players get right off the short yellow bus and seem to have an internet connection)

Phrozenflame · Aug 03, 2006, 07:51 PM // 19:51

I have just went thorught factions once and i hate to say it i am hardly ever in cantha, I cant bother playing each missionagain and again, i wish things cud be ran...why they changed it is beyond any reasons...

Matix411 · Aug 03, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

I'm in one of those downtimes now.
Every time I load the game up I can't think of anything to do.
I suck at PvP and my computer's slow so I lag like hell when I try it, so there's no improvement going on.
PvE bores me because I can never get anywhere due to the ridiculous mobs in some places, I try, but I just can't. Even with henchies, I'll get just beyond the mob, the henchies die, and the mob turns on me. I don't have builds that protect me in every situation possible, so it's hard, for me anyway.

Right now, I'll load the game, delete an unused character and make a new one just becuase that's the only excitement I'm having at the moment; creating characters. Eventually that will get boring, becuase I'll have made them all, and used up all the names I could ever think of.

If I had an easier time getting money I'd be enjoying it more, cause right now I have one piece of 15k glads, and 8k left. It's going to take me FOREVER to get that, and I don't have the motivation to do so anymore.

Charqus · Aug 03, 2006, 08:21 PM // 20:21

Same happened to me dude....
I quit for about a month then played WoW but WoW sucked ass n came back to guild wars and realised how i appreciated this as a good game.

Eviance · Aug 03, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I haven't played in days, and I just really don't want to atm... It's a downtime for me I guess. I've done everything I can and pretty much cleared UW with a full guild group last time I was on (that was interesting - I'd never been that far).
Still hope to one day clear FoW, but other than the jungle, forgemaster, and what ever that temple place is way out in the boonies down there, we just haven't had the time. I mean heck clearing most of UW took 5hrs or better and I never got a single ecto drop >_<!
I've done the deep, but not the Kurzick elite mission yet, maybe we'll do that this weekend.... Usually if I get too bored I delete my pvp char and start over in presear ascalon, but I've done that too... My sin is as far as I care to force her... I've beat factions on at least one char and nearly on another - the others I don't care to try beating factions with. The rush of factions doesn't appeal to me much.
I've been playing freecell when I'm not working on wedding plans or atm Mahjong >_< Even nightfall doesn't have much appeal for me, as factions really seemed to be a letdown (I play for the pve aspect).

I was kept out of the core GvG group because I get bored too easily so my hubby said I was unreliable lol. It's true tho. *sighs* I've done the farming thing, but hours of killing things nets me lots of money and still more boredom (all my prophecies runes are unlocked now >_> on both accounts <_<).

Oh well back to Mahjong for me! Probably do some gunbound later. Thats always a good time waster!

I had that same trend also for a while ~~ delete - recreating characters... Actually I have a 7th character slot... and I just started an elementalist character; and in the past I probably have deleted my ele about 5 times... Don't know if I will do the same thing.

LOL. You play gunbound

That's such a nice game... I actually played that thing for two months ... got to silver axe rank... and dropped out since I got introduced to Guild Wars: Prophecies by my friend.

XvArchonvX · Aug 04, 2006, 01:07 PM // 13:07

I get bored every once in a while, but I still play almost every day. I have a character of every class, so by the time I get bored of one class I am generally ready to go back and play a class I haven't played in a while. Constant updates and new events on the side of A-net also keep me interested.

Yeah I haven't played in a long time cause the hubby and I were on the same IP so it kept causing unusual glitches >_> I had double axe tho, not anything fancy and I still suck really badly at it XD

But I also have a guildie that had the top rank guild on there, which to me is just amusing lol.

Sir Skullcrasher · Aug 04, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

I'm bored too, the only things that is keeping me going is 15k armors for all my characters, beat faction at least twice, and maybe get r3.

lacasner · Aug 04, 2006, 05:40 PM // 17:40

I think that really, as far i as i can see from all these threads, is that the root of the boredome is coming from anet itself. They made the game somewhat shallow in my opinion, but awsome while it lasts. Sort of like a 1/2 inch thick pie, sweet but hardly enough..mmm...pie....

On a serious note, yes i firmly believe anet can expand this game and make it greater, deeper and better. For instance, maybe add on to the map, add more weapons, or maybe a bunch of new skills(create a skill, hint hint). Frankly, times like these is when i actually want to switch to grinding games, because there is actually something do to when ur bored. LVL up for no reason lol, but if ur having fun doing it why not?

Riplox · Aug 04, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

I haven't played ina bout 3 months. I've been on only to get updates and check to see if any of my characters have recieved their birthday gifts. That's about it. I haven't even finished Factions with any of my characters yet. I guess I got burnt out after doing a 3 day push to get to Vasburg and then spent 2 more days getting the amber for 15k War armor. After that, I really haven't been into the game at all.
