Hi guys! This is about part of an event, so its in the right place.

Ok, im planning the biggest party ever to be hosted in GW. However, for my speech i will need some peoples thoughts on GW1 and what they are expecting GW2 to do. So, i need YOU to give me a short passage on what you liked about GW1 and what you excpect GW2 to do to our world.

Thanks

every time i hear that music in the last video, it brings me back alot of memories from pre searing, and the first gw game, at the login screen, they should have that music instead of the gw:en music at the login screen imo.

maybe you can cook something up from these videos.

The "leetness" of the obby armor's ^^
/sarcasm

No but srsly, the environments, some are just so beautifull

sikkezzz · Aug 28, 2008, 09:55 PM // 21:55

The feeling you get when you have reached something and ofc the environments.

Koudelka · Aug 28, 2008, 10:09 PM // 22:09

When you could get away with fast casting, healing magic, smiting magic, illusion, and domination on a lvl 20 bar in Hell's Precipice!

Seriously though, just pre in general. How amazing the Maguuma was the first time, how satasfying Sanctum Cay was (and still is for me). Pre... is ftw.

Burning Freebies · Aug 29, 2008, 10:23 AM // 10:23

Ok, thank for all you comments so far. Keep them coming!

Looks like you all like the environments, sense of achievements and Pre searing's envirnoment. Cool, this helps a lot. I like all that stuff to.

Uhh, Not sure this belongs in Sardelac. I'm going to move to the Community News forum.

the Puppeteer · Aug 29, 2008, 10:47 AM // 10:47

anyways - try to mention that GW1 was a very fun game untill the cookie cutter builds appeared.
oh and - GW2 = presear. Just slap a bunch of skills together and you have a working build (or so I heard

)

I just finished watching these vids, and they are gonna help. Im getting a message of farming, GW before Arena net decided to nerf everything, Jeremy Strong's Music and the environments of GW. That is gonna help, thanks a lot.

Stormz · Sep 27, 2008, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I had much more fun without the heros in GW1 prophecies then i ever had in GW.PuG's was fun.

Well yeah, thats fun, but theres only 1 kinda old vid in there... The best part of GW was before HM, before Heroes and before all those frggn easy farming builds.... The time before Templates, when the Attributes were still listed in the Hero Panel.... Those were good times!

Burning Freebies · Sep 28, 2008, 04:33 PM // 16:33

You think? I wasnt really around then, but ill try and keep that in mind

Die You Infidel · Sep 28, 2008, 04:57 PM // 16:57

oh and the times when the droks run was still something über to be able to do!

with the good ol' Wammo build ofc!

RiceCream · Sep 29, 2008, 02:20 PM // 14:20

when Lions Arch turned into Amnoon oaisis shortly after NF's release

dye remover

the good into screens (i hate the GWEN one. fav was NF)

the "other arenas" droks amnoon denravi....

and i miss all the bots streaming out of granite citadel and droks (and more recently bergen hotsprings)..dirt cheap unidentified golds....

Burning Freebies · Sep 29, 2008, 04:12 PM // 16:12

Die-Yeah, when there where no dervs to run it. That must have been good. I wasnt there.
Rice-You mean when they made Spamadan? LA isnt uncrowded, just not full of massive spam waves that screw around with your connection.
There was a dye remover?
Yes, i havent been around when there where other arenas, but i would have liked to have seen them.
I like the NF entry screen too, probably because it was the first one i saw when i installed Proph

Nice thoughts guys!

I remember those days

it was fun! No titles, no hardmode, no heros.

People laughed and talked they didn't say ping your build stupid.

We died, we rezzed we had a good time all the time.

I remember seeing those worms in pre. I was terrified lol. And when I first got to post - gulp

And finally finally the Shiverpeaks and no more brown landscape. lol

Getting the first firey dragon sword in the desert and that first fell blade in Sorrows.
It was such a great game at one time. I loved it alot.

no, like you were in the outpost, Lions Arch, Mini/World map Lions arch, but the outpost looked like Amnoon oaisis, you were on the wrong skin. opened .2% of Tyria.

yeh you could make the sexiest, most vibraint colors, particularly a really hot pink which brave wammo men liked to sport

. kinda sorta like today's Gray Dye.

Rico the Spirited · Oct 02, 2008, 10:46 PM // 22:46

Hmm... Best GW1 moments for me...

- Healing *Real People* for the very first time and having them not die. It was the first Factions mission, back when Factions was new. Foreign Quarter. I had a tiny little party.

- Winning my first PvP Mesmer-skirmish--I'd never used a Mesmer before. Alliance Battle. I've loved Mesmers ever since.

- FINALLY figuring out what those "elite skill" things were! I was so confused for such a long time... (It was a Ele Fire skill, but I can't remember what it was! Gah!)

- Earning my first 20k in post-Searing Ascalon. ("Egad, I'm rich!" Rico cried.)

- Realizing there was such a thing as post-Searing Ascalon. (Now that was an amusing conversation.)

- Earning my first 100k by subjecting Mountain Trolls to 55 abuse. (Ah, those were the good ol' days.)

EDIT: Oh! Also, discovering GuildWiki. (Do you, Rico, take this Wiki, to read and to edit, in lag and in gigabit...)

I'll post back if I think of anything else. Good luck. ^_^

ehh guys! My best mermory...When I first used firesrorma and visited Witmans Folly!It was awesome!
