I personally I don't like GW1 at all. I hate the gameplay :/ Igot some pretty bad connection issues, too.
GW2 looks more promising, though.
I'm still playing GW1 despite having 30/50 HoM. Most often I'll just run around and kill things on my warrior. For being pretty outdated, GW1 is quite beautiful in my eyes. Also, anyone saying the game's community is dead, I disagree. I joined a guild on day two of playing, and it's massive. The people are always nice and helpful, and we do hard mode missions together a lot. Even if we've already done them before.
People just like getting hung up on short loading screens and the fact that it's not a "true MMO". No duh, it's a CO-RPG.
It's worth the 50 bucks IMO, and has given me hours of fun, even if the graphics and mechanics are odd to most people who're used to the WoW model.
Well...about the graphics...water and sunbeams look much better in GW1 than they do even in wow today imo. It's not all that bad.
Weird though about your connection...mine runs ok from Beijing...better than wow does.
Not tempted to get Champion of the Gods? Think that's the last title?
You aren't wrong though, God Walking Among Mere Mortals is a special GW1 title for those who've completed 40 titles to the max. If you are going for this and you're new to the game, you'll find yourself being dedicated to this game for the next 1-2 years before you got it.
yh
I know I missed the boat basically...I'm gonna try to do 30/50 before GW2...as much as I would love to get the titles, I think that's an impossibility...
...and tbh I kinda hope I can't get them. Feels unfair for those ppl who actually slaved away for years getting them.
One of the latest updates really gave people opportunity's, which is the max your party with heroes update. You can get normal bonusses easily and hardmodes are doable now (atleast they are were doable but you don't need a real specific set-up now) and honestly it's quite okay, they didn't make stuff easier, they just gave people more tools to work with, 30/50 should be easy to get in a year if people play it regularly. I'm at 40/50 myself now and I hardly bother playing these days since I've slaved over 7500 hours on my main account.
That's a lot of hours I'm def around that or over on my wow account lol...
Well, I'm playing it where I can I seem to be switching between this forum and GW during the evenings lol.
I read about the heroes thing. I wanted to do prophecies first to see the searing etc, then I'll go to EoTN and get me some heroes. (I read that there aren't heroes in prophecies...only henchmen). I've basically stopped playing anything else atm...so I hope I can get some nice stuff done
You can send me a message if you need some help, I'd be glad to help since there are probably some things I need to do myself as well, you can private message me or whatever, however you're it's half past 7 at your place atm, so I don't think we can be online at the same though

Propably the best guide to 30/50 I've ever seen.
As others have said the gamplay is a bit dated and you will be doing the majority of content alone until you reach the higher level stuff, that being said the fights are challenging and fun, especially if you can find a group to play with. And if you enjoy lore GW1 especially prophecies has a great engaging story.
Nightfall and EoTN have a good story too. Although GWEN is over too quickly :/
Factions was great till you got to the whole Luxon/Kurzicks section where you gotta PVP. Did not enjoy that at all...
