Guild Wars 2

Halan.7931:

Thanks for the advice. But would the story make sense chronologically if played that way? I thought the right order would be Prophecies-Factions-Nightfall-EotN?

Technically, that is the right Order. There is not much overlap between the Campaigns. but there is some, so if you want to live the Story 100% in Order, you should go by that.

Mhenlo was one of the examples, if you play Prophecies before Factions, you will have an “oh cool” Moment when you meet him in Cantha because you know him already, otherwise he is just a generic NPC you know nothing about. Another one is Gwen. If you never played Prophecies, she is just a random Mesmer you meet in EOTN. Another Example is Nightfall, i don’t want to spoil too much, but you will meet important Characters from Prophecies and Factions in Nightfall. If you play just Nightfall, that would be nothing special for you but if you played the other two beforehand you would have another of those “oh cool Nostalgia” Moments.

King Noob IV.3560:

don’t waste your money. the game is horrible now that the population has died out so much.

You don’t need people, can play with heroes.

It’s a classic at a one-off cost that belongs in the library. It runs smoothly on the crappest computers, so if you’re stuck at grandmas or some other relatives, you can sneak the client on their junk boxes and have a good time. Just don’t play for the HoM stuff, that will drive you mad.

Combat:
No dodge rolling or jumping. Stand and Cast. until kiting `clicks` with you (oooooooh, so THIS is proper kiting), combat is basically like playing a speedy card game.

Builds:
This is what still makes me play this game to this day. Each character slot is essentially two class types of choice, the premiere class on character creation can never be changed, but the second class can be changed at will (after a certain quest). You have 8 skill slots. There is no Weapon, Heal, Utility, Elite skill slots. The 8 slots are completely free to make whatever you want (and break your build as well). So you could load up some hammer skills, then equip a sword, and your skills don’t work. Or run without any heal or elite skills.

Lore:
You’ll get allot of `ooooooh so that’s what that is in GW2`. very cool.
