All the little tweaks and upgrades NCsoft did to the UI and other things that made it more user friendly since then is fantastic. Too bad I can't seem to focus on playing it for too long. I kinda want to see what NCsoft can do with a persistent world.
Also, maybe if I didn't feel like strangling everyone in the community, I would most likely return to play again soon.
edit: I wish I can take my obsidian armor to guildwars2. I would farm less for super loot that way.
edit2: I really hope Eye of the North DOES NOT have any missions where it requires you to bring heroes. I don't use them, so they are always underleveled. I like normal henchmen better.
I definately agree with this, and I thought that actually made it pretty easy. The only thing henchmen ever needed was the STOP, ATTACK and GO HERE commands. Adding the option to give them better weapons (spend/waste money), add runes (spend/waste money), and have them a customizable skillbar was too much for PVE I think.
The only way it got worse was the adding new classes made PvP more complicated, and that isn't necessarily a criticism. There was also a slight feature creep (or major until everything got rebalanced properly).
They've definitely done a lot of work to improve each campaign over prophecies with new PvP types, better storylines, more focused level progression, improved graphics, more things to do etc. The only really major flaw left is that they're still missing an auction house which really isn't acceptable anymore.
The downside is some of the improvements were limited to chapters, e.g. you wanted expanded storage? got to buy chapters 2&3 (although arguably you don't really need it unless you're got the 7-8 chars that you'll end up having if you own all the chapters). You want heroes so you're not stuck with retard pick-ups? Gotta buy chapter 3. Although honestly it's fair enough considering they do need to make money.
PvP isn't that complicated - GvG runs the same 2-3 monks + mes + whatever build, Heroes' is sameclass-way if you want a win, and RA is the only place to see weird ass builds win frequently :P i used to hang out in the GWGuru forums but left when there was far too many complaints about the slightest thing

buildwars buildwars lol.
Seriously though, its still pretty fun despite that.
ATs should be interesting, though my guild lost silver trims because of the 14 day rule, but whatever.
If you guys wanted a guest for anything PA style, my IGN is Flying Cube
Right now we'd be better off being added to somebody's alliance than getting people for guests. We haven't had 8 people online at the same time since January
So yeah, anyone reading this that happens to be part of a guild/alliance that isn't filled with idiots, talk to Engy.
Gah this bug is ticking me off...
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=452433 O_o
I got into so many arguments about why shitty skills are shitty, I won't even mention the time I did some Alliance Battles with them.
Im gonna wait for GW2 which hopefully melds the GW gameplay with a huge persistent world.
Cause GW gameplay is great, though many times it really does feel like a single player game.
I just want to GvG again... winning HoH with 4 heroes doesn't really cut it anymore.
So Rook, what are the chances of getting into a pvp guild in XoO?
The almost completely instanced world and the fact that I can play it like a single-player game if I want to is a large part of why I love the game. I find there are a lot of assholes and if I had to deal with them all the time I would have given up on the game completely. On the flip side, the chances of bumping into someone randomly twice is rather low (in PvE anyway) so I think the mostly annoying player base is a result of the current game structure. That said, I don't know if making a persistent world will make the player base better or just force you to interact with morons all the time.
Anyone here can friend me under Bendery Lafiel
I don't do much but RA honestly...
Heh, well, I'd think about your choices. XoO isn't perfect by a long shot, they have more than their fair share of jackasses and stupid rules.
That said, I have pvped with them a bunch and once you learn who you like playing with, it's great. Chances of getting in are high, though where you end up is another matter. You should all join AX though as it's strictly cool people only. They've absorbed a couple of guilds recently so if it's just 10 or so people then i'm sure it's possible, or if there's more you could all go to various guilds in XoO. (They've got a couple of PvE divisions, an HoH div, some hybrid ones and some noobie ones). I really haven't played a lot recently so I'm not sure what state they're all in though.
Can you give me some contact names or something?
First call should probably be the recruitment forums and just read over the stickies
http://www.xoohq.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=410
If you want to talk to someone in game, I can find out but I'm at work at the moment
That's about how long it's been since I quit >.>
Anyways, I don't have Nightfall yet, but if anyone needs a Monk or anything my IGN is "Geod of Exile."
I sort of agree, it lacks the social element of WoW, but the trade is a good one - like the quest where you kill the Charr battalion outside of Piken Square, and forever after that they're gone. You never have to worry about them again.
It sounds like GW2 is going to meld the two types somehow, but my mind can't wrap around that yet, so I'm hungry for more info.
There is no pre/post Searing in Nightfall.
Maybe he means the newb isle.
Should point out that if you don't take the quest they'll never be there to begin with :P
I've just left KCHS, I'm now in Onslaught of Xen for many gvgs. Friend Stealth Crusader for mega fun times.
Perrsun has joined Reign of Xen.
If any of you heavy pve'rs are bored running around by yourselfs i can toss you an invite. guilds been up for months and im still the only member, but its not like i've ever tried to recruit.
Saban the Marksman is my ingame name, im usually running around getting frustrated at missions or capping elites.
Fine. I'll reinstall Guild Wars! Damn yous guys.
