Kind of scary to think about.....

If you allow 8 hours a day for sleeping time (I don't sleep that much but lots of people do) and 1 hour to eat (I take longer than that but it's an easy round number), there are 15 hours left in a day. This means you've effectively spent about 100/365 days doing nothing but sitting in front of a computer playing Guild Wars.....wow

You've been playingGuild Wars for 30% of your life. Please take a break.

A "thank you"? How about a kick in the butt? Three days of bad lag problems does not warant a thanks. A-net still has their heads up their back sides in terms of dealing with server volume on holiday events. FIX IT A-NET!

You haven't played long enough to see all the "oops" in this game...

But I have to admit, I've been playing some blitzball on FFX the last few days and the AI there makes the henchies in this game look genius.

You know what's really sad? When people who have legitimate complaints and constructive criticism get ridiculed as "whiners" and "moaners". Keep in mind it's that same "whining and moaning" that has given ANet the feedback it needs to make GW the great game it is. I'm sure they like to hear nice things about them, but at the same time I'm quite certain they would rather hear what they're doing wrong, rather than have an endless parade of starry-eyed players praising them as gods among men.

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Jul 04, 2006, 03:24 AM // 03:24

lol skyy high that was funny, first of all, legitimate complaints are about bugs, or something COMPLETELY unfair like skill imbalances, complaints about "ZOMG they didn't give me all the storage I want RIGHT NOW" or "ZOMG anet sucks they listen to my idea" are whining bitching and moaning and groaning, something Like "Hey anet I lost my items from an FoW run after I left it" is a legitimate complaint becuase it is a bug, or "hey anet, this build is too powerful, every counter I think of has not worked." these are legitimate.

GW was my first online role playing game, so I never had a chance to compare it to other games.
Now, that I got a nightelf up and running in WOW, I see a few things that bugged me in GW in a different light.

So lag? What lag?

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Jul 04, 2006, 06:21 AM // 06:21

lol ya WoW=lagfest, try running through a mob filled area, falling in potholes while they melee you from twenty feet away.. X.X

Wow lots of responses.

Ive got nothing against constructive criticism just against the pointless aggression where every update and Gaile Grey thread isnt good enough for them. So what if Gaile doesnt give exact dates? Im glad that she is there. I enjoy reading her chatlogs and the Frogs but I do see the counter points. I suppose I havnt had as long a wait as you all have for the changes that are happening now. All I can say is that I hope I will still be enjoying the game 14 months, ill let you know.

So far my only disappointment is that I cant use the factions faces and hair styles with prophecies ones.

Im sort of simultaneously playing through Factions and Prophecies. Im progressing through tyria with my friends that I set up a guild with and when they cant come on I wander around Cantha. Ive noticed huge differences between them but I am enjoying them both. I prefer the speed of character developement in Prophecies. I feel ive learned more about my monk at level 14 in tyria then my 17 assasin in cantha. I would have liked it if I could make an assasin in the tyrian campaign but I understand its not too practical.

Im looking foreward to the next festivals. Alot of players talked about the snow ball fights at the wintersday event and some of the activities at the halloween one. Still of to try Captain Rujiyos quest again!

PS Thanks for all the welcomes!

In my opinion, it's not the flaws in the game that many players are whining about, but it's the flaws in the game that Anet won't acknowledge/fix with skills and the like until ladder season is over.

But yeah. I still like Guild Wars, I still think it's a fun game. I'm awaiting the next expansion with eagerness. I log on everday to play it and I'll continue to do so until something I want to play more comes along. The end.

Show abit of respect to teenagers who are not idiots please.

As a 16 year-old, I quite agree. But anyway, that's not the point here.

First of all I'd like to thank the original poster for bringing me (and hopefully some other people as well) to my senses. After playing Guild Wars for over a year, I was beginning to take the good parts for granted and only had eye for the flaws. Guild Wars is still an unbelievably good game, and no matter how much whining you see on these forums I doubt there are actually many people who don't think the same (after all, they're all still playing aren't they?). It's a shame we can't just be content with the great game ANET has given us, but that's just how people are.

So thanks Maiku, and thanks to ANET for the game

dreamhunk · Jul 04, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

yea know what anet, I want to thank you for taking the time listen and really care about players that play the game.

You maybe be off with the rpg abite, but I know that you are working to get better no one is perfect

Thanks for the hard work

I have been enjoying this game from the time I recieved the friends key for Prophacies.

I have seen several changes made to the game over that period of time. Some good, some that I thought not so good, but all were done to balace the game and make it better.

As time has passed and I have gained more accounts, as my kids have quit playing, I cannot say enough good about this game. I can not even count the times that my kids are yelling about hackers taking their armor or someone 50 lvls higher still in the lower level of the game killing them. It is at that time that I just smile and say, wouldn't it be nice if your armor was customised, or your skills were balanced.

Thank you A-net for making this game what it is. I know that I can log in at any time and not be killed by others that are way higher than me, I know that my armor and customised items can't be taken to be used by someone else. I know that you are hard at work to bring us, the community, the best game possible.

As a special note to Gail, Frog, and the entire staff. Thank You so much for making this game a joy to play. Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to the next release.

Now back to work getting dragon masks for all 18 of my characters.
