    Guild Wars Wow, why didn’t I play this game again sooner?

    Wow, why didn’t I play this game again sooner?

    So I started playing GW again after a 10 year break. Last time I played, I was about 13 and only owned Factions. I remember the game was really fun, but I spent most of the time losing badly in PVP or chatting with people in Kaineng. I guess I didn't actually play the game properly lol. Since then, I've bought the complete collection on a new account.

    Over the past few years I've dipped in and out of GW2, but the game never gripped me. Every time I played I just never felt engaged. The story was boring and I don't think I ever related to a single character. I literally didn't care what happened in the story. Actually I hated playing the story.

    The overworld is ok but that got boring quickly, and the reason it did is the exact reason why I'm having such an amazing time in GW: in GW, your actions matter. In GW2 I never felt that I was actually having an impact on anything. World bosses would die whether I attacked them or not. Tasks were far too easy and the only "difficult" bit was where mindlessly killing enemies wasn't completing the task and I had to actually read that I was supposed to turn into a Golem or something. I could get a gold medal even if I was dead for half of the fight. Boring.

    GW is hard and it's smart. If I play dumb, I lose. If I play well, I win. My actions have impact and therefore consequences. If I'm struggling, I know that it's because I'm not playing in a way which would lead to success. This leads to gripping combat even in an arguably less advanced combat system. I'm playing an assassin and I actually have to pay attention to what's going on in fights instead of button mashing.

    And the story is so good. I'm about a 3rd of the way through Factions and I actually care about what's happening next. And my god does it get hard quickly. I'm in the process of getting a good hero team together (something I have never had access to before) to help me out so that I can actually progress.

    I have no idea how long I'm going to play this time around, but I can guarantee it'll be for longer than GW2.

    To be fair, I haven't done the highest end stuff in GW2 like raids or T4 fractals, but the reason is because I don't find the game engaging enough to actually invest the time to get there. Maybe I'd enjoy it a bit more when my actions did have consequences, but it shouldn't take a hundred hours to get to that point and it shouldn't be contained only to the highest end of content. GW got hard towards the end of Shing Jea Island and got progressively harder...

    Dragon's Stomp has one of the best Skill Icons. Is it a boot or is it a dragon?

    new guides!

    Posted: 16 Oct 2019 04:45 PM PDT

    Last year I asked for some new guides for the megathread. Some really nice improvements have been made, but we still need more guides! If you're interested in helping out, either by creating content or reviewing what we already have, please join us on Discord. You don't have to be a GW veteran, a masterful writer, or a statistics nerd (all of these are helpful though!) - we also need beginner players to give feedback. So all that's needed is the will to be helpful - come and be a part of keeping the GW community alive!
