The 'good ol' days' for you are much different than mine... Mine range from October to April 26th (the day before release). Back when the game didn't suck.

Sad to know that your personal happiness dependents on your experience playing an online videogame - that's really pathetic.

Back in the Ol days we held the HoH with a level 15 mesmer...

Back in the ol days a Beta weekend as the highlight of the month! Better than christmas as a kid!

Back in the Ol days the Ranger line wasn't f****...

Back in the Ol days you could choose a skill from another profession as your elite...

back in the Ol days it was fun!

ps: Guru sure has picked up in quality the last month! Thanks very much to Saurs,,,

I remember the good'ol days when the ONLY kind of runner that existed was the Droknar runner at Beacon's Perch (And there was like, 2-3 of them in a district?). Okay, I'm young

That's not what he said, Mr. Holy

Some of you may not know this but there is actauly a /roll command.

It got banned from outposts because of:

P1: P1's Casino! /Roll 100. Roll a 67 or above win double, roll 99 or 100 win triple. Minimum bet 1000 gold!
P2 opens trade.
P2 trades P1 2000 gold.
P2 rolls 23 on a 100 sided die.
P1: Ooh sorry, try again!
P2 opens trade.
P2 trades 10000 gold.
P2 rolls 99 on a 100 sided die.
P2: Yes!
P1 switches district.
(P2): Give me my money you scammer!
P1 switches to offline mode.
P1 starts his casino in district 2.
P2: Hey Everyone! P1 IS A SCAMMER DONT GIVE HIM MONEY!
P2: Hey Everyone! P1 IS A SCAMMER DONT GIVE HIM MONEY!
P2: Hey Everyone! P1 IS A SCAMMER DONT GIVE HIM MONEY!
P3 Opens trade.
...Ect.

Haha, I rembember that on my first char (still exists ty) when I just got done with searing, and deciding not to gamble on the grounds of morality being a monk

.

and black dyes were cheap and searing was sad. I never got to tombs in those days though, by the time I got there, air spikers were catching on...

I remember my first win in tombs though: I got my first 3 fame with my own team and I was so happy about it...

since I couldnt get wins with other groups.

Yeah, you're right. But if that was the only comment he ever made I'd agree that I was inappropriate - but he does this often and his routine is getting really tiresome.
At the risk of feeding that guy's 16 year old narcissism I'll show you what I mean:

I'm just not in the mood to listen to someone who posts so often about a game he apparently despises

Hiawatha · Aug 20, 2005, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Omg Weezer's sixteen?!

In any case, the points are legit. The potential we got to see in the betas is still there, haunting and taunting, and not fulfilling it is a tragedy in the context of the game

Your reaction was as sad, if not more, so why not just let it go? This thread is a nice bittersweet tune, just enjoy it

Ow. that one hurt. you're entirely right -
But haven't you ever had one of those days where you just can't stop yourself from doing something asinine? I'm only human.
But thanks for the slice of common sense.

Hiawatha · Aug 20, 2005, 02:30 AM // 02:30

Now that you mention it, I do have an annoying tendency to get out of bed.

Oh well. All's well that ends well, mate.

I remember the good old days when people used to reminisce about how much worse things were before, and mean it

AeroLion · Aug 20, 2005, 02:37 AM // 02:37

I don't miss the "good" old days. I didn't much care for the fact that superior runes were costing well above their demand for certain classes (*cough* Mesmer *cough*) nor did I care for the whole "keep the boss a live and pray he uses his skill" method for elites. Overall, things are vastly better than they used to be.

As for the community, yes, it sucks. It happens in a popular game. But if more of us that know better tried helping the lowly newbie in Ascalon, perhaps it would make a difference. You have no idea how many people don't know about ctrl-c or hitting t, if someone has done that, afterwards.

stumpy · Aug 20, 2005, 04:07 AM // 04:07

i also forgot this ....

back in the old days preps stacked and barrage was a superior skill

EDIT ****

and I was there when you didnt have to cap skills ... read hundred blades quote

... but I had to touch up on closer good ol days for folks who are newqer and can relate ... capping was kinda rewarding to me personally.

Probably the best thing in this thread. Once upon a time, everything in game was about honor and glory. The true things that give you a spot in the Hall of Heroes.

twicky_kid · Aug 20, 2005, 04:56 AM // 04:56

ya i miss the first beta days of the game. too bad my comp kept crashing then and didn't get to really play alot.

i think popularity is killing this game. back in beta is was limited number of people that felt special and appreciated getting to test this wonderful game. now its masses multipling the stupidity.

the graphics are so good but i never hear one word about it. try running around in 1st person perspective for a while. brings a new level to the game. really like seeing my attacks and monsters close up. the details on monsters goes unoticed by most. the charr really look wicked and scary in first person. you don't really notice them being 10 ft tall from a birds eye.

alot of ungreatful players out there that just jump on any running train they can find to catch up to others that have been playing for months.

ZeR04U · Aug 20, 2005, 07:06 AM // 07:06

This thread is pretty stupid. Us new players have it easy? Its freaking 5 months old.. I've been playing for like 1-2 months and whatever. WE HAVE IT EASY? Yeah we sure do after you guys got greedy and nerfed every possible spot in Guild Wars. So all you old geezers (really, are we trying to show off or something?) have 1000K gold while all the new people have to scrounge to get a measly 1K.

This thread is a freaking joke. Sounds like a 'look at me, im 1337 leetz0r because I was around from 'teh' start. *yawns*.

Chad · Aug 20, 2005, 07:22 AM // 07:22

I remember when you didn't have a convienient green indicator on your full screen map showing you exactly where to go on quests, and you had nothing but the green arrow on your minimap for your sense of direction.

I remember when Sigils were going for 200-300k and EVERY guild just HAD TO HAVE ONE OMGZORZ!!!!!

No, I didn't play in beta, so I'm not totally old school.

Werd. Me and my guildie became millionaires thanks to sanctum :P I also lost a few superior vigors to the evil salvage kit. Ooochu. In the days before rune traders, that was never a good thing.

I definitely miss everything not being so nerfed. Kinda sucks. I mean whatever.. let us farm. :P

Blaah blah. I'm excited for the update, but I can't complain much this game has given me a lot of playtime.

I remember when that one monk quest from yak's bend where you have to go find the guy, and have to kill the level 28 warrior boss.

SS attached

Sad thing is, when I played on my war/mo I was all ready with interuppts and everything to take him on.

Ignore the noobish talk, this was before learning of the colors.

Also I think, but not positive, that there was a necro quest where you have to kill a guy that runs away from you.

PieXags · Aug 20, 2005, 09:29 AM // 09:29

Yeah, I remember when it actually felt like I was playing a PC game, as opposed to feeling like a junior high economics student with loads of homework trying to save up for a PSP.
