Original Guild Wars worth getting?

Just looking for your opinion.

Is it worth while to get the original guild wars now or should I just wait for GW2? I'm not a huge PC gamer, and I've never played guild wars.

Guild Wars 2 is coming out in less than two months, and most of the population will go to it. You can get Guild Wars 1 if you want, it is a very good game. But you likely won't be seeing too many people around.

Nah.

Get the trial and see if it is something that interests you.

Guild Wars 1 is a great game, but it might take a fair population hit once the sequel comes out. Keep in mind that GW1 is not about grinding and is not an mmo. There is no real gear treadmill, there are 4 campaigns, and so on. Play it expecting a single player game, not an mmo (though you may find groups to help you with missions).

Don't get it!! Not that its a bad game, it is a great game and will suck you in to the lore of the game, but with GW2 coming in 2 months you want to save your money for that!

I love the original game to death but I couldn't recommend it now. There is a lot of content there and I don't think you could get through it before the release of Guild Wars 2. I think my original run of Prophecies was somewhere around 2-3 months (anyone remember when Thunderhead Keep was impossible because of the Monk strikes?), Faction takes a couple weeks and is the worst of the bunch, Nightfall was like a month, and Eye of the North isn't too long.

If you really want to play the game then do yourself a favor and just try to finish Prophecies and Eye of the North since those are the best and have the most relavence to Guild Wars 2.

I would get it, very addictive and a great storyline. You can also get perks and things from playing Guild Wars for Guild Wars 2. You don't need other people to play it like when it first launched. You have heroes now that you can customize to your group.

Hey thanks for all the kind responses! I really appreciate it!

Sounds like I'll just waiit it out! Frrom the looks of it Guild Wars 2 is going to be something special.

I wouldnt recommend prophecies, that campaign has serious pacing issues.

ANyway, I would rate them in this order

Factions+Winds of Change (Some parts of cantha are absolutely beautiful, but the main campaign is short, the best parts come in the later parts of Winds of Change, Winds of Change has the best story in the entire guild wars series by faaaaaaar)
Nightfall (Best pacing of the 4 campaigns, heroes not to mention Elona is the most visually pleasing continent)
Eye of the North (Bioware/Megaman esque linearity, heroes, introduction to all the GW2 races save for sylvari)
Prophecies+War in Kryta (Banal fantasy, horrible pacing, less varied missions, but on the bright side levelling takes a lot longer and the last few missions in War in Kryta and the prophecies campaign were fun)

I gotta disagree with you here Maroxad, Prophecies is still my favorite campaign of the lot to this day. It really gives that feeling of being part of a journey that spans Tyria, with a nice build up from the origins in Ascalon to the showdown at the Ring of Fire. Prophecies also had the most side stuff to explore like the deep depths of Maguuma or remote portions of Kryta.

Factions pushed way too much on the player way too quick for PvE. Everything felt like a rush and was ridiculously linear to boot. The Luxon-Kurzick stuff was cool but last I checked it was all but dead minus the elite areas. I almost quit the game when this one came out because it left such a bad taste in my mouth initially.

Not much to say on Nightfall and Eye of the North because I pretty much agree with you. Can't talk on Guild Wars: Beyond because I haven't played them yet due to a combination of my backlog and forgetting they were added :P.

gw1 is a great gaming but dedicating time to it now is a bit of a poor decision. its a great game i dont cheat it of that but if you plan on getting gw2 now. im afraid dividing time between both will be near the word impossible

If this was 6 months ago, I would probably say yes. Because we're so close to Guild Wars 2's release, I'd say go for GW2 instead.Elann2008

I wouldn't bother, it's a good game but it's just way to close to august 28th now :P

Yeah, I forgot about all the side stuff and things to explore, in fact you even unlocked a fair share of side quests after you beat the main prophecies campaign. It was good stuff when I played it, but after doing it a few years later, I didnt enjoy it all that much. Prophecies also had the most varied landscape.

As for Factions, well, the main factions campaign isnt that great, but the greatness comes from Winds of Change campaign.

If we dont count the GW Beyond I would rank them like this

Nightfall>EotN>Prophecies>Factions

It is quite daunting. I have only beaten prophecies and put about 100 hours into the game. I wanted to get a bunch of the bonuses for doing the Hall of Monuments, but I only got 3 points and just don't have the time to get more before GW2 :P.

You can get a 4th and 5th point then.

While they dont show up as titles, you get one statue for each non-Eotn campaign you have beaten. And you get 2 HoM points from your first Honor statue.

Also, for some effortless statues

• Do you have the hero Mox (the golem)? If so invite him to your party and go to the Fellowship HoM for 2 easy HoM points.
• Also with the Fellowship, the black widow doesnt take too much effort. I can help you with the underworld up to the bit where a black widow spawns. You can tame it and claim another 2 easy HoM points.

Also, Factions can be beaten very fast, and seeing as you are a prophecies character you get to skip a fair chunk of their campaign. Nightfall is longer though, and is around the same length as Prophecies, but I would argue Nightfall is harder. Thankfully you get heroes.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="illmatic87"]It's still an entertaining game really. Though, dont expect a huge population and expect to play with AI party members.Elann2008

As bad as the henchies are, some players are worse :(

Also, I am sure Bruno remembers this, how I spent nearly a fair chunk of time positioning my heroes for each battle to make sure they wouldnt screw up. That being, stick so close together that they get utterly obliterated by AoEs.

Good thing they foes eventually targeted the imbagon instead :D That guy just wouldnt die with his 600+ HP and 100+ armor. :P

Getting a Black Moa is faster if you have gotten up to the forest and have help. I had do a long quest chain to get the black moa bird to even spawn.

He said he has 3 points so, I assume he has EotN.

A good protter and a good healer, and a decently positioned party will get you through, I did that thing solo with no deaths on my part.

You have 9 storyline missions to complete, Factions is by far the shortest of the 3 campaigns, and you might be able to beat it in 8 hours or so. Even less with a good group. Also, if you have Kurzick/Luxon points, SAVE them, make sure you have at least 10k unspent points.

And if he didnt, the elite armors in EotN are quite cheap.

Also, assuming you do NOT spend any medals of honor or war supplies, you WILL have enough medals of honor for an oppressor weapon (which will net you 2 HoM points) once you beat the War in Kryta mini campaign

I wonder if I should beat the War in Kryta mini campaign on my rit, it was quite fun and if I complete it you too can have an oppressor weapon :D

What storyline are people raving about? Because ones like the original's storyline absolutely sucked.. sSubZerOo

The one I find to be good (the only one for that matter) is the story in Winds of Change, or to be precise, the 2 later acts.

I would just wait until GW2 comes out, or get something like Tera.

It is the weakest campaign of the 4. make sure you have plenty of ranged attackers though. Those zombies explode on death.

[QUOTE="NaveedLife"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] yep. though truth to be told, faction's biggest sin is spending so much time stuck on kaineng city, which not only looks bad, but it's extremely brown, foggy, confusing, and just plain annoying to walk through, since you'll be fighting the same 3 enemies (brown bandits, purple bandits, and zombies/blobs of rotten meat that walk) over and over and over. once you get out of there, it becomes pretty again.Maroxad

Eye of the North campaign.You will be sent there soon enough, you will need a tapestry for each section though.

Edit: The first tapestry is free, the others require you to complete the mini campaigns. Alternatively, you can buy them from other players.

No no, I think you misunderstood.

Think of Eye of the North as a Bioware game. Where you have to complete a the sub-missions to eventually tackle the final mission

Here is how it works: First you enter the north, which is available starting from Level 10 at your captial city. you get your first tapestry when you reach the eye of the north, then you have to do 3 mini campaigns composed of 3 missions each, each of these mini campaigns ends up with you getting a tapestry. And you get your 5th and final tapestry once you beat EotN.
