Hi!

There is a new game coming out on April 28th (I think) called Guild Wars. It looks so good IMO. Its an MMORPG with NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE! There is over 750 skills for each class, and of course, each character can be two classes. Furthermore, unlike other RPG's you can destroy pretty much anything (I think) e.g. You can destroy bridges which people need to use!

Was anyone thinking about getting this? Ive already pre-ordered the Special Edition which comes with a Logitech headset, 3 months teamspeak, artbook, soundtrack and an in-game item which I like to call "t3h sh1ne!!1"



www.guildwars.com for more info

[Edit] Sorry, more like 150 skills each class :o Ooops

I beat the doppelganger in seconds, all I had to do was interrupt his healing signet, and he couldn't do anything to stay alive!:D

And, on September 7th, the Sorrow's Furnace update is coming out! Hooray! I'm looking forward to questing with some of you guys in the new areas.;)

In case you haven't heard of it before:

There is somewhat of a grind factor that comes as far as unlocking skills and such, and it's pretty disappointing to see people get turned off by the initial RP grind. I do get irritated when I have to occasionally farm monsters to unlock skills for PvP when I run out of faction.

People have complained about this a lot and they are probably going to fix it pretty soon (one of the steps they have taken to fix it is implementing the "faction system" for PvP). Once you get past the initial RP grind the game really picks up and gets good. It's very fun to try out builds with your PvP guild because strategies and people are always changing. The game was designed for competitive PvP, but there are also people that enjoy the RP section of the game. ArenaNet is trying to come up with a system to please everyone.

Well, to be honest, the game *was* supposed to be focusing mainly on PvP (I think) but the developers focus on each gametype the same amount, IMO.

You can grind in the game if you want, but there isn't really much point in it, other than getting skill points for elite skills. Alot of people who have finished the game turn their attention to PvP, and from what I have heard (although I have only played it a few times), once you start experimenting with different builds, it is VERY enjoyable.

Also, my guild is called Xell Nova, and I have forgot the leader's name -_-' so I can't give you a means of joining :P

Characters:

Zanpaku To (Lvl 20 Mo/W Farmer, 105hp/Invinci-monk Build, up to Thunderhead Keep)

Glutony Homunculus (Lvl 20 W/Mo, Don't play him much, up to Iron Mines)

Kimimaro Kisuke (Lvl 8 E/Me)

Storage for Meh (Lvl 20 PvP Monk, and as the name suggests, storage for all my superior runes and godly items :P)

Ok.

like you get to some level and game turns repetitive and after you get some more levels... there is nothing to do left.

what can you say about that?

guild wars focuses more on PvP and skills not levels or grinding ;)

I say whoever said that has not played PvP and is probably not in an active guild. PvP is not repetitive because you are always playing different people, just like an FPS game.

If you haven't played PvP and you mainly play PvE and THEN say it is boring, then you need to realise that you have missed out on the part of the game that the developers focused on...PvE is just an extra.

I recommend these class combinations:

W/Mo - Standard, used by many. Survives for a long time, medium damage, GREAT for a beginner

Me/N (Or Ranger to replace Necromancer) - Great for bringing down spell casters! Can also be adapted to be really good vs warriors as well. An annoyance character!

E/N - Works quite well against Warriors, fun ^^

E/Mo - Im using this build at the moment, it is a really good healer. Build up energy storage, and you can heal forever! Yay ^^

I'm still having truble deciding the classes I want though. It can be annoying at times :)
