whoa, guild wars that cheap now?

the only thing i dislike about this game is that:

1) there's nothing much to do after you get like around 2/3 chars at the end of the story...and well...u repeat the same story every single time u start a new char...lol

2) the rubberband lag...my god, it's horrible...=(...and it takes a long while to get a dl completed during the transition phase to a new area/ arena battle...(you could get time outs and be kicked out of the arena after u finished dling the map...and everytime u enter the arena, the same thing happens at a highly often frequency, lol)

the good thing is that:

1) it's pvp focus, thus, it's really balanced gameplay

2) u can take like 10 years off the game, and ur char still remains the "same standard" like "most" of the other ppl, u WILL get rusty though, lol

anyway, to play guild wars2, u dun need a guild wars 1 account, and even if u have a guild wars 1 account, the data will NOT be transferable to GW2, which is a shame, kinda...

u guys are lucky to buy all 3 at rm100 though, bought my prophecies at rm 150 IIRC...XD

oh, and i have:

1) 20 ele/monk (story completed)
2) 20 warr/necro (story completed)
3) 08 ranger/ mesmer (got bored of the game, quit like 2 years or so liaw, lol)

I have to disagree with you there since your comments are solely based only Prophecies alone. I do however agree that Prophecies can be a bit slow because that's how the 1st game was made but some people like to take their own sweet time to finish the game. For those who like adrenaline rush can try Factions as most of the missions are timed so the faster you complete the mission the better the rewards. Nightfall can be consider the most well develop game as the pace of the game is just right there's a lot of new additional content you can't find in the 2 previous game.

You must have an extremely poor internet connection since I do not face the lag problem you described. You can use the "-image" command to download all the content at once to reduce the load time of the game.

Have you tried Hard Mode, Elite dungeons & Achievements ? These are things you can do after you have finished the main story. There is also Guild Wars Beyond that is implemented recently to link the storyline of the current game with Guild Wars 2.

Didn't you heard about the Hall Of Monuments that allows you to get special items based on your achievements in Guild Wars ?

->LostWanderer

Please don't give your comment based on just Prophecies alone if you haven't even try Factions & Nightfall.

->EightPhantomz

I'll let you decide on you own whether to get the game but I can tell you that it's really worthwhile to get the Trilogy + EOTN since you'll get access to all the content. If not I would suggest to start with Nightfall + EOTN and get the rest when you desire.

lol, why the fire?=_="

anyway, i enjoyed it (GW) for quite a while, until it begin to become a little repetitive for my taste, thought of getting the expansions too...but the lag is just...bad, on the ping side of story...usually will reside between orange and red status...and it's pretty common if one to google search it...of course, if things were smooth, it should be a whole lot more enjoyable...and guess what, i'm using streamyx, just like most of us (malaysians) for our internet connection.

it's a worth buy, i must say...i don't dislike the game at all when i got it (i don't dislike it now even, but i just didn't like it as much as the time as i got it)...but guild wars 2 is coming out most likely Q3 of next year...so i'll just play that instead...XD

and thanks for the -image tip, i didn't know that exist, ...=)

oh, and i did try out nightfall for a while, when they just released the game and had a "free trial" for it...can't remember much about it now though...it's been ages anyway...lol

i know about factions and nightfall too, where factions are more regarded for pvp and nightfall for pve...however, many critics did rate prophecies as the best, coming by nightfall and next, factions...but yea, now since that we can get the game in a trilogy, it's worth every cent (till gw2 is out i guess...XD)

lvl 20 in a week is not "that" difficult

in fact, u reach lvl 20 when you are around 50~70% into the story, depending on how much u are rushing it, lol

it gets easier around lvl 10 or so, if u play ranger or mesmer class, it could be a little bit more difficult to level i guess, warrior and elementalist is pretty ok, for me at least...

still, do the quest and all, will level pretty fast...=)

still, it hovers ard 3XX~4XX ping most of the time, pretty rare for lag game breaking spikes

need to relearn the whole game as an old player...lol
