Guild Wars 2 -

[Gaol]

Just wondering if there are any other kiwi's that play the game, if you do post your name here and maybe we can party up or make a small guild

If you have been interested in Guild Wars 2 but found it too expensive, from today March 6th till March 8 the game is at 75% meaning the normal version costs 10 dollars and the 15 dollars. IMO get the 10 dollar one, the 15 dollar doesn't bring anything that's worth it.

You can buy the game at Buy Guild Wars 2

Holy fuck ancient thread. RISE, THREAD

After breakfast I'm going to make a group and we can discuss guilds and shit there since it's come up a lot in chat.

It's also worth noting that the base game is now free to play, and one only has to pay for the upcoming expansion if they choose.

EDIT: Group is made. https://kiwifarms.net/groups/caer-aval.154/

Soon as I saw the base game was free, I'm all in-I'll sign up when I've a PC running quiet.

GW1 with a buddy was the first non-RS MMO I ever played, so I'm pretty hyped.

Yeah it's great thatis' F2P now, it has restrictions but not enough to ruin the game like others. Plus the community is really friendly and there's always people in the starting areas now helping new players.

I got GW2 at launch and it was just one of those games that I started repeatedly, loved it for a week, then lost steam because I don't have anyone to play with (and also I was totally lacking direction). If this becomes like a decent sized active group that would be awesome.

Holy shit you are going to love the new class.

Spoiler

Most (all but Ventari I believe? I think he's only been in GW2 but I'm not sure) of the spirits that are invoked for the class' mechanic are GW1 characters. Shiro the assassin, Glint the dragon, King Jalis Ironhammer, and Mallyx the Unyielding all appear. A lot of the magic/runes are based on GW1's as well. I'm sure a lot of it is playing off nostalgia, but it does stand on its own.

Also if you had Eye of the North you can link up your GW1 and GW2 accounts and get GW2 rewards, like exclusive weapon an armor skins. King Adelbern's sword is one.

Nah, I only played Vanilla unfortunately.

I play GW2 every now and then. I've been playing since the beta and every single update just pushes me further away from the game.
I don't know what happened to Anet, but nowadays they seem to be just a bunch of incompetent moneygrubbers. The upcoming expac is one of the biggest jokes I've ever read about.

I played GW1 and started playing GW2 right at release, but quit for awhile because my computer couldn't handle it anymore. But I've been playing again over the last few months. My main is a ranger, and I love her and all but recently I started playing an ele because I hear so many people say that they don't feel useful as a ranger etc. and honestly I feel that way too. She is still low level so I haven't been able to compare them yet.
I do dungeons and pve mostly, I'm close to my first legendary but I want to see what HoT comes out with. Since so many new players are joining I wonder if I should try some new dungeons or stock up the tokens I need in case I don't want a new legendary. Almost every CoF group I do now has a new player in it.

Prismatic Understanding has officially been nerfed along with Ice Bow 4.

Ok, I'm finally in a situation where I can download GW2.

I'm not sure what I want to do class wise, I've only played 1...

It depends. All of the classes are pretty easy to pick up and play except Mesmer, but since you're not new to MMOs or Guild Wars even mes should be pretty easy to pick up on.

What did you main in 1?

 

[Sable]

I was a Necro/Ele, but I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing when I made it.

What're the newer classes like?
