i enjoyed the mesmer class. i have no fucking clue what the gw2 mesmer class is supposed to be. it's fucking retarded

Remember when we could have hot chicks on a game cover

man

Me too, user.

I love how GW2 took everything people loved about GW and turned it into a generic MMO shitshow

>enter yak's bend
>this plays

I remember buying this back when it came out and getting bored within a week.

Please don't remind me. It hurts to live.

How is it that this game universally causes people so much nostalgia? One of the few instances where consensus is pretty much uniform

GW2 Mesmer seems like it was supposed to be a Status Effect spammer class who just stacks all sort of shit on to enemies and buffs on allies with the same skill. But most fucking classes gets to do that.

Since there's no dual-classing, the very good synergy that Mesmer had with a few other classes is gone.
Where previously the Mesmer would selectively shut down a handful of enemies and maintain support on those who need it, what remains is some half-assed semiautomatic Inspiration/Illusion wannabe Mesmer who endlessly repeats the same little routine of something like 111234511123 to keep the buff effects on everybody. Not to mention nearly all of Mesmer's weapons suck ass in 2.

Because it's a great game, i dont know what else i can tell you besides that i pity the people that never played it in it's prime, fuck EoTN though it smelled of 2.

EotN was great

Man, ignoring how good Guild Wars was (I still have all the collectors editions, back when Collector's Editions fucking meant cool shit), but how awesome is the Jeremy Soule soundtrack?

That guy is the tits.

Soundtrack is honestly the best part of the 2nd game.
>new guy since HoT
WELL

>arenanet will never see the light
>they will never rediscover what made guild wars great

>Guild Wars: The Game for Kids too Poor for World of Warcraft

This
To be honest we all can agree that GW was a shit.

>Jeremy Soule
>good

All his compositions sound the same, regardless of the game he composes for, all flutes and strings, which is an alarming indication he just follows a mechanical pattern rather than innovates and engages in some kind of creative process for the games he works for.

Right after EoTN is when it started to go shit. They were probably working on GW2 by that point and the Winds of Change patch was supposed to be the link

Eat shit, buddy.

fucking reinstall it then

everyone whines about all the modern chinese f2p shite MMORPGs, but you can go back to EQ, AO, EU, GW, FFXI etc if you love them so much. they are all still running.

mostly because there's none of that arenanet left, they got replaced by a shitshow of a team

Are the servers still up?

yeah

I'm forced to when Guild Wars is shoved in my mouth.

You can never go back, user. It will never be the same.

Those fucking songs man

What if I played both?

Sorry our good memories are raining down on your parade, pal. I'd help you out if I could

Ah yes and video games still had attractive female characters

Man gaming used to be so great before liberals destroyed it with their sjw nonsense

My memories are thousand times better.

Open yo mouth

I hate Dutch people

...

why didnt they make GW1 F2P instead? and use that 2 get ppl onto the other expansions n GW2? are they fucking that retarded?

I wouldn't say everything sounds the same but yeah, you can pretty much immediately tell when it's Soule.

where'd they go?

Nightfall was the beginning of the end. Paragons are a fundamentally broken design idea and it took them so long to fix them at least in GvG and HoH, heroes (and no brain sklls like searing flames) killed PUGs and while randoms are annoying they are still part of the fun in MMOs and keep the community together. And Izzy got in charge of balancing despite having no idea what he is doing. EotN only had the fault of having a retarded story and reputation farming in PvE, NF killed PvP, even if it took a long time to die.

I'm a fair guy, I can give credit where it's due, such as in the case of Skyrim's Sovngarde which was a pretty good piece of music by him:

youtube.com/watch?v=ncy4fPstbg0

In general though, he is one of the most boring composers in gaming industry, repeating the same tricks over and over again without ever creating something truly original. The true masters are similar to Uematsu, who create unique sounds and patterns constantly and always feel passionate about overcoming their limits.

Soule just works for money and picks the laziest route whenever possible.

i played both

Even a homesick video about GW is over two years old.

delet this right now

...

I actually started a new chararcter and played trough Prophecies, Faction, Nightfall and Eotn with a few friends and we had a great time.

Well you are still my maid, so guess that doesn't change much.

do you still see many people around or is it pretty much dead?

I know that feel

GW1 mesmer had so much clever shit going on, they just ignored all of it. I'm not sure the GW2 designers ever played GW1

We all do, user.
We all do.

I played in Europe, and it was rare to see more than 5 players on a map. I tried to see how it was on a US server and there was much more people though.

kys

most players are in pre searing

presearing.boards.net

i don't recognise this music. is it from the expansions? i played vanilla gw, my first mmo, but then i discovered WoW and the rest is probably the same story as everyone else itt

I'm gonna grab a beer, listen to some Factions soundtrack and contemplate suicide

I believe it's the factions theme

i seriously doubt that

this is an elite private club with a very discerning userbase. WoW was dumbed down mass appeal slop for morons.

>yak's bend
I always thought that was one of the comfiest outposts. Like Marhan's Grotto but without the faggots that would always idle there.

>tfw Searing hit and you had no clue it was coming

Just the thought about spending hours upon finding new builds and combinations brings me back

>dat feel when tempted to go play it again
>dead as fuck with some people still in NA district for groups

I played during the betas and there wasn't even a pre searing. Fucked up Ascalon was the norm. First thought was "what the fuck is this shit" when I saw pre searing in retail.

>end of the beta, Anet unleashes a hostile super-Gwen in town, fireballing and firestorming the entire playerbase to death.

I MISS IT

Playing through with heroes is the easiest the game has ever been, but its so boring. Faction pvp is dead. I miss escorting them turtles

I find it interesting they used that to build the theme for GW2 on.

>Faction pvp is dead. I miss escorting them turtles
I miss placing the ranger ghost that let everybody takes damage if somebody of the same race dies nearby. It triggered on the guards and you could easily bomb a 12v12 if placed on time

>I miss escorting them turtles
>being a turtle fucker

Kurzick or bust

Entire GW2 soundtrack is much too epic and forgettable. Ironically, going away from Soule for the expansion resulted in an overall better soundtrack.

>not "Suxon my Kurdick"

That's the good stuff.
>tfw you will never heal a THK mission group again
>tfw you will never carry the pug through the bonus objective

How is the expansion? I dropped the game once they started the living story and I saw no hope of it getting better

>4 hour gate of anguish run with random strangers that evolve in to a lifelong friendship
>no game will ever feel this way again

Factions was its peak, then the game goes slowly down with nightfalls and full shit with EotN

Nightfall was great. The meat of the game was in PvP anyway. The expansions were just the butter on the bread

Tighter with some of the best zones ever put in any MMORPG, as well story that unfucks itself from Trahearne, but also a Mastery system was grindy as FUCK on launch and long overdue specialization + new class. Expansion was really overdue by itself, though.

>getting cucked out of godhood by some blind nigress

...

My first character was a necro because of Eve

I am actually amazed how well GW1 has aged. Probably because it looked real fucking good at launch.

Nightfall was fun but it did add some really heinous shit, even for pvp. Paragons were just fucked. The campaign was a lot of fun though, as long as you didn't roll a native Elona character and have to put up with that shitty mandatory sunspear rank grind.

I wish I had spent more time playing necro. I mained a monk but I definitely would've had more fun with a necro alt instead of the warrior and ranger I rolled.

I wonder if the sequel will hold up to the same degree.

>that sunspear title grind with the worms

GW2 models already look like shit.

I WANNA GO BACK
AND I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW I GOT OFF OF THE TRACK

Why did they not release a singleplayer only version now, fucking impossible to get your account back.

>tfw the last day dawns on the kingdom of Ascalon
PRINCE RURIK PRINCE RURIK

Why didn't they make GW2 a PvP only version after removing classes and skills that were broken or only usable in PvE?

Remembering my character name was a bitch, but you can get into contact with their customer support. Better hope you have SOMETHING to prove that's your account though, preferably a CD key.

God damn do I love these songs.

Beastmaster a best
Rip black moa, you were too edgy for this world

>Expansion was really overdue by itself, though.

This. We should be on expansion number three at this point. Living Story, while nice small chunks of content, really came into its own by the end of season 2 and now in season 3 where everything added has been added permanently. I'm talking shit like new small-ish zone every three months or so which is absolutely a good deal as opposed to "here's an hour of content and couple of days worth of grind, it's around for two weeks = have fun" of season 1. I just fear it's much too late for GW2 at this point.

>11 years ago
>be in highschool
>most friends are nutting themselves over wow
>i try and convince them to try guild wars
>waaah instancing and no jump button :(((

I played GW before I even knew WoW existed but it still was "The Game" for me and my cousin cause it was sub-based

>>few
>FFXI
>Everquest
>ultima online
>early runescape
Old MMOs were the tits when interacting with so many people at once was still a novelty.

The HoT sound track is petty good though!

Instancing is the greatest shit
It allows for actual leveldesign and worthwhile balance

GW3 2024 enough content to keep even the NEETest grinder occupied for 2 months
expansion 1 medium size after 10 months
expansion 2 smaller just 6 months after that
expansion 3 big as 1 & 2 combined 14 months after 2 (add multiclassing at this point)

capture skills, enemies only use skills the player themselves can. maybe an exception for bosses
