This one is different because I created a playlist with music from both campaigns (read description under video) The Sunflower to me represents the lore and the story of Ascalon. That was the inspiration. There is a part in the video where the Sun shines on the sunflower in a particular was giving an illusion of Ascalonial wall behind it. That was Not intentional :) Let's see if you can spot it. Timestamps are coming soon. Enjoy!

Hello everyone. I've begun a guild to try a new concept we've been working on. We are going to do group runs through the main PVE story campaigns (Proph, Factions, NF) by rolling new characters and playing as if we started the game new. We'll schedule the story missions for a certain time (i.e. Post Sear Ascalon 3 days, Northern Shiverpeaks 3 day, Kryta 4 days, etc.) so that we move more or less in tandem. We want to avoid having to play the game solo or relying on hero's to play the main game.

Right now we're looking to start our first Prophecies run soon. We'll be at the Great Northern Wall mission with level 5 characters or below.

If you're interested in joining, feel free to put your IGN down or contact either Taraza Seriphzion (me) or Artax Shieldhardt.

(From Questions Below)

We have mostly EU TZ, although we are buildng an NA group as well.

Discord is available and will be how things are coordinated.

You do not need to join the guild, all are welcome if you'd like to stay within your current guild. Feel free to join our discord if you'd like to come along.

After many years away I decided to re-install my favorite game ever! So many good memories in GW. I started playing back in 2005 as a little kid. Today I'm married with a kid and a career. Time flies...

Anyways, booted up for the first time in maybe 10 years after spending about 2 weeks with ANet support trying to get my account back. I was so excited to login and see the places I spent thousands of hours in as a kid.

But once I was in (Loaded into LA) as soon as I started looking around, I was struck with a feeling of immediate sadness. The place was empty. It was a ghost town, a far cry from the good ole days. I decided from that point I was going to check all of my old stomping grounds. Outside of Kamadan, everywhere was desolate. I even went to post searing Ascalon and was literally the only person in D1. (I remember the old days of trading in Ascalon Intd 1..good times)

I then decided to check my old guild and miraculously I hadn't been kicked! However, the most recent member that's been online was a whole 3 years ago. As I scrolled It got even worse, 5 years, 7 years, 9 years, etc....

It was at this point I decided to check my friends list to see if any of my old buddies happened to be online. Not that I was expecting anybody to be online at this point..the game is damn near 20 years old..but man...It was a straight gut punch into the feels. Seeing all of the old names on there, scrolling down name by name remembering all of the good times and memories I had with each and every person. It was at this point I started asking myself "What happened to these guys?" "I wonder what they're up to these days?". I hope they're all doing well in life. I don't think I ever got to say bye to them.

I spent a long time trying to find a game that gave me the same "feeling" as Guild Wars once did, I have yet to find it. But I did realize something on this day, that it wasn't necessarily the game that gave me that feeling that I've been looking for in numerous other games since. It was the people I played with and the memories that we shared together. Good times.

Anyways, not sure if I'm having a quarter life crisis or something, but just wanted to share my experience.

If you go to the north of crystal overlook (Elona) there's a statue far away if you look into the distance. It's like someone raising a sword into the sky, might be a woman. Is this just for decoration or does it have any significance/lore?

Recently I've been playing around with team builds and I had a team of:

Master of Whispers Olias Razah Xandra General Morgan Hadya Kahmu

I decided to switch them out for mercenary heroes and it seems like I can't do anything I did before or at least not as well.

Does it really make a difference?

This is a thread for information about the game that can't be found on the wiki. I started farming OSs recently and these threads helped tremendously:

: determine which drops in pre are worth selling

: chests that can drop max q8s

: max possible stats for each requirement

You're free to add your own. Would be nice if someone has a flow-chart for post OSs like the one in the first thread.

Solved: Something in the latest nvidia driver seemed to have pissed gw off and when I went back one update It worked normally again! My friend had no issues with the latest patch so, maybe something in the installation just failed for me.

For all these years I have not had any issues while playing guild wars 1, however today for absolutely no reason, if I put post-processing on, my fps drops to 16-18. I put image of both fps's and my settings.

I am under the fps, plz hlp.

With post-processing

I’m finishing up a title on my Derv today and was thinking of making a Necro and using melee only party as a challenge.

Grabbing Blood Bond, Order of Pain, Mark of Pain, etc.

Anyone tried this?

Recently as sort of a challenge to myself, I’m going through normal mode with a new character and only using team comps that don’t use a primary profession twice. So far one of the better teams I’ve discovered is —

Assassin (Me): Way of the Empty Palm / Repeating Strike Spammer

Paragon: Soldier’s Fury / Go for the Eyes! / Blazing Finale Support

Warrior: Soldier’s Stance / Axe

Dervish: Vow of Strength Scythe

Necromancer: Order of the Vampire / Blood Ritual / Restoration Support

Mesmer: Panic Shutdown Support

Monk: Restore Condition / Protective Spirit Support

Ritualist: Clamor of Souls / Splinter Weapon Support

Now it’s definitely not meta but for normal mode pretty fun, as wipes are pretty rare but I still need to be careful with aggro and tweak the exact builds based on the area. Definitely works well in Factions and EotN, where there’s a lot of crowded fights and Splinter Weapon can really shine. Not sure how it’ll fare at the end of Prophecies though.

Anyway, does anybody else do this?

I haven't played for long, but I'd like to make my elementalist op. So to the matter: Amy tip for a good build that is easy to get? Easy as in "my character was never optimized and I'd use this first build to get better ones"

Is there any value for green minis? Or have they become too common over time perhaps?

Hey everybody! I have been a long time player of GW2 and I love it, but I have always wanted to give GW1 a try for three reasons.

1. To see the story

2. To acquire God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals

3. To fill out the entire Hall of Monuments

To preface this, Guild Wars 1 was the first game I bought when I got my first computer 17ish years ago. I played through the entire Prophecies storyline and that was it. I remember enjoying the game but do not remember any of the content. So I was able to re-acquire my account with 20 platinum on it and many birthday gifts and start my journey.

I returned to the game about three weeks ago and have had a lot of time to play during the weekends. So far I have put about 80 hours in to my journey. In that time, I have come into contact with the community many times and I have to say… the community is amazing! Both in game and in various discords. I would love to give a shout out to many specific people but I feel it best to not get too specific.

Everyone has been so helpful with builds, support, tips, and lessons. Every trade, mission, or interaction has been pleasant and it’s been a joy to see how active the community is, even for such an old game.

So what’s the bad? Well… people can be overly helpful. I will say this, it’s very rare that this occurs, but sometimes I’ll be asking for info on how to do a mission by myself and people start inviting me, teleporting me to the mission, trying to do it for me. At times I’ll be asking some questions about my class and people will start explaining to me how a different class is better and I should roll a different class because it’ll be faster or more fun. In terms of actual negative interactions, I have only had one person who I feel has been a sour part of the community and they are only on the discord. To me, that’s amazing for a game like this! I will also say, even those people who have been... a bit harder to deal with, they have also still had a wealth of valuable knowledge they shared with me and I am grateful for it.

I have had some absolutely wonderful people help me through Urgoz's Warren, Domain of Anguish, and Fissure of Woe. I only planned on doing them on normal and yet they took me through on HM, explained things to me, and made me feel confident and wanted as I got the trophies for my HoM. I have also done The Deep but that experience was a bit lesser. It felt rushed, chaotic, and it felt like I was just being carried through the entire thing in a stressful manner. I very much look forward to the day I find a group to try out Underworld, and I look forward to trying to solo Sorrow's Furnace with the help I've been given with gameplay mechanics.

My journey is still on-going. I have learned some things I do weekly, like my Nick Gifts. I have gotten future goals, like focusing on EotN rep once that week comes here very soon. I have all of my current plans in place, like finishing Prophecies so all the campaigns are done and continuing to work on my vanquishing and cartographing. Finally, I have my shopping lists as I keep looking for 4000 more sweet points, 9000 more party points, and 8 more primeval armor fragments. There is so much more to discover, so much more to learn, and I can't wait to see how the rest of this long journey goes.

Thank you to the Guild Wars community for making this journey such a lovely experience and I look forward to all my future interactions with everyone on here, in discord, and in-game, as well as my next post here when I finally finish the journey!

I came back not long ago and started a fresh account. Ran a dervish through all of the campaigns and completed protector for the 3 main campaigns with not much difficulty. But I’ve started HM missions and I’m getting DESTROYED. I’m running the team setup from Peter Kadars YouTube playlist on HM missions, consisting of BiP, ES, and SoS. I’ve geared myself and the heroes and I keep getting rocked during the early 4-man missions.

Nothing else to say. I apologise for the sudden outburst of nostalgia that hit me in the feels today…

If only we could rewind time 😢

I know the game is not dead. But it will never be the same as in 2005-2010

Hi there,

I played GW1 in 2005-2007, so I'm not a completely new player. I finished all the 3 base games Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall.

I remember playing through the Prophecies campaign in 2005 with only henchmen as a warrior, which seemed kind of hard back then but I made it in the end :)

I have a couple of questions concerning the state of the game right now:

1. What class would you recommend me to play? I wanna avoid the warrior, since I already did that. Also I think, that I'm not really interested in the expansion classes. Back then I really enjoyed solo farming on classes like monk or necro, in case that's still a thing. I thought about making a Mesmer or Ranger, since they're the ones I played the least.

2. Is there still an active (german) community?

3. What do you do as (end) game these days?

See you ingame :)
