I played for quite a while but stopped literally right before they announced the 1st expansion. I have went back to play a little bit once the 2nd Expansion came out but it didn't appeal to me like before.
I unfortunately didn't play the original Guild Wars, due to a lack of time. Though, it's not too late to try it out I suppose.
After all this time of part 2 being out, GW1 still has a good number of players right now. Back when I was playing it, I was messing with it out of boredom. It just ended up turning into one of those games that were mainstay installs on my pc.
Does anyone play gw1 now, that 2 is in a lull and we don't know the release date of the expansion? I started it a year ago, beat Prophecies, started Factions and NF, but haven't finished them due to other games and RL issues. Now I decided to continue the character, but I find it really hard, even with a team of 7 heroes next to me. Is there any quick way of unlocking skills for heroes other than rolling alt characters of each class?
I could play it at any time, anywhere. I even thought about re-downloading it just to see what it's like after all this time. I had a nearly max hall of monuments (working on the God walking amongst mere mortals track) and I enjoyed everything about it - the atmosphere, the fights, the skills builds and second classing mechanic. Even the music was otherworldly with Jeremy Soule at the head of it. I was relieved to hear a lot of music from GW1 I liked reused/redone for GW2, and Jeremy still did it. How I unlocked skills is just to second class your main champion/hero with EVERY subclass and just go vendor to vendor buying skills/farming skill points. I did this while I went "Elite" Capping for the that title track, and just purchased all the skills I could find. It's not like money is hard to farm or get; or that the skill switching is even a pain - so it was very fun. Make one Char, run it through all expansions, and use that to get all skills you may want for Heroes. I even forgot about the Hero system until now as well - a lot of the time, I'd just take one hench/hero with me and solo/duo farm builds the best I could (like Ecto UW farming).
I play GW1 and GW2. Although mostly concentrating on GW2 due to the release of HoT. Before HoT. I would flutter back and forth between GW1 and GW2. Depending on having to deal with drama or help my guild leader with stuff, lol.
