Guild Wars

Just want to see how all you Irish Guilders are getting on ? I'm finding the game excellent both graphically and in all areas of gameplay superb!

Whats your thoughts? the positive and negative?

ya i have been playing it over the last 2 or 3 weeks not sure how long as the time has just been blurred into one long gaming session.

LOL. Really addictive and a good game. There is so much ground to cover in the game. You always max out your character before you cover even half the map.

I played it for about 2 weeks. I stopped after that because I didnt like it.

Its designed around PvP and as much fun as that can be, i thought I would just
get bored with it.

Im big into City of Heroes and City of Villains (in beta) and when I look at GW
I just dont get any desire to play it. Ive made lots of friends and such good fun,
im part of an amazing guild and I dont think GW has any of that in it. A number
of out members took a break to play GW and most of them are crawling back.

In my opinion I loved the first week. Second week dragged by then I learned
what the rest of the game is like from mates, and called it quits.

Graphics are great! Some great ideas in gameplay but it just lacks that MMO feel
IMO.

You really need to be in a decent guild to get the most out of Guild Wars (the hint is in the name )

I was getting bored with GW as well until I joined An Cuallacht and started playing PvP and GvG a lot more. I see the "single" player missions as a training area before playing PvP. Once you finish all the missions, the game just keeps getting better.

I did enjoy guild wars very much so, though the game turned out to be basically the same as the beta, here in Canada(I am Irish, been living here for a year, chill out.) the game was delayed by a month or so, not sure why when they made virtually no changes.

I too got immensely bored of Guild Wars after the third week, it lacks that vibe to make me keep coming back to it, the vibe I got from Phantasy Star Online in the days of the Dreamcast. Well, the fact that there's no fees is a big BIG plus I guess. Don't get me started on EverQuest II, that game is just WRONG, it's so boring it's unreal.

just got rank 5 yay, 612 fame

Ì think GW is only really enjoyable if you have a guild of friends that you can play with on a regular basis. The fact that a large proportion of the playerbase are immature, egotistical idiots makes playing in PUGs rather intolerable. If you do have friends you can play with there is great scope for experimentation, developing tactics etc.
