The Guild Master Comments by Rob Fahey

Has it got giraffes in it? Cos if not, I'm not bothered.

I was trying to read this yesterday when it was suddenly ganked from under my web-browser... For shame!

Four pages, two comments. NOBODY CARES! SPACE GIRAFFE!

Guild Wars is a superb game. The production values are high and what Anet have achieved is laudable. I can't get enough of it. I'd happily pay for more standalones/expansions in the next two years and don't really want to leave it for GW2 just yet. Luckily GW2 is still some way off right? You can pick up one of the three games for £9.99 these days. For subscription free CORPG gaming that is simply brilliant

Edit: Can't spell my acronyms.

I'm a dirty hobbit and she's a sexy elf so she might be... "Oh! You dirty hobbit. Take off my bodkin and my jerkin." "Oh, yeah... pixie ears. But that sword." What if she was a hobbit slayer? I'd just use my enchanted amulet. "Yeah. Yield to me, hobbit-slayer. You will touch my magic cock."

Ah, and guild wars is great. I'm going to go play it again right now in fact. Anyone got a nice guild I can join?

CORPG?

Gulid wars has always ben a great looking game. Let hope they stick to the beutiful people stylings in GW2.

Co-Operative Online Roleplaying Game. Some people get upset if you call it a MMORPG

Am I really able to create and play an online self ego as pretty as the one shown in that advert?

Or even better ... will I be able to tweak the size of body parts (primarily boobs and buttocks) of these models to 'enhance' their looks?

And now to a less hormonal question, ... do I need the original GW and its subsequent expansions to play any newer expansion?

hula hoops, to play GW:EN you need a least one previous standalone guild wars game.

Love Guild Wars - it really pushes the MMO genre. Very curious as to what GW2 will look like!

Although the game is now over 2 years all, Guild Wars is still one of the most beautiful games out there. In my opinion, its art direction, character design is surpassed by none. Also, its game design with more than a thousand skills, of which you have to create a build of 8 skills, makes it a lot more interesting than almost all other RPGs where you have a handful of skills that you use throughout the whole game.

On the other hand, with the introduction of "titles", some of which can take hundreds or even thousands of hours to achieve, they have introduced an element of "grind" into the game, for those people who like that kind of gameplay. More and more, these titles become a reuirement to get into groups, which makes some parts of the game inaccessible to more casual players. This seems to be opposite to Guild Wars' original goals.

Exciting stuff! I just hope the new GW has an AH... this is getting like macs and right clicking now...

I intend to be in GW2 from the beginning. I've only recently got back into GW but am throroughly enjoying the GW:EN content and replaying all the campaigns.

@BrokenSymmetry: Which titles are you referring to? The only title that might have an impact on your chance to find a group is the AOH-rank, but that has been there from the very beginning. All the new titles are purely prestigious and I have never seen anyone saying: "Nah, we won't take you with us before you get rank 8 in the Norn title." I do agree on the grinding factor that's been added to the game but it is, by all means, not a must. I am saying that for new players. You can still enjoy the game on a regular basis - creating different characters, playing the different campaigns and basically 'roleplaying'.

Yeah, I agree. I've never felt any pressure at all to gain titles. The only one I've had any sort of grind for was the Lightbringer track, just to make the end of nightfall a bit easier.

It is excellent and they've done a nice job in GW:EN with the greater variety of quests out there, especially the solo ones.

Guild Wars 2 should be superb :)

Aye, GW is very good.

I play it casually, and I haven't really done all the really extreme hard stuff.

I'm just addicted to creating new characters and making them play and look different... I think I've spent more money on extra char slots than I have on every piece of content they've released :-P

@Hula Hoops:
You can't make a character that looks exactly like the woman in the ad, because that's Jora and she's an NPC. But saying that, all of the characters you can play as have beautiful models (even the creepy Necromancers). GW has lovely eye candy. I might disappoint you in saying you can change your character;s height, but not the size of their... assets. :P Though with some of the skimpy skimpy (or practically non-existent) armor the girls wear, I don't think you'll mind. I'm looking at you, Scar Pattern!

Playing GWs alot now and really cant wait for GW2. I think mounts would be cool and being able to get higher levels.

I think its a shame that WOW has more features for guilds than "Guild" Wars. That needs improving. Also I would advice having more items. I'm sick of having the same sword but with a different name/stats. If a sword is different I want it to look different. Same with Armor.
