Guild Wars 2

My cherished collection, may the six watch over them. (excuse me for the low quality)

I sadly don’t have any pics from my GW1 games to show you(it’s still only the platinum edition or whatever with both proph and eotn). But if you want nostalgia inside GW2 you are to go to the southwestern part of Brisban Wildlands and enter a small passage and talk to he ghost standing there. For those who haven’t been there I shall spoil no more.

But I really wish I had been old enough to have been dedicated to GW1. Unfortunately I was not.

i just run gw1.exe for the nostalgia.

Small passage? Ghost? PM me details please

Still have GW1 installed. I play it now and again for nostalgia purposes.

Have it installed and if it wasn’t of gw2 i’d still play pvp daily

how far southwest?

SOMEBODY TELL MEEEEE!!!!

i jump on still from time to time to work on HoM — nostalgia wise i can’t find any pictures on when they first added Sorrow’s Furnace & unique items.

So I heard you liked nostalgia.

Just a small bit north east to the skill point in toxal bog.

Interesting event. Eminently solo-able with my lvl 80 guardian.

when games where games and manifesto where to design by.

Oh how I wish they stayed true to that what a game it could have been.
Welp off to elder scrolls lol.

That a very backwards way of thinking please keep this about how you use to like it and not about all the doom YOU see today.

expecting people to stay true to a vision they spent years telling you about, and not implementing sweeping changes with 3 days notice before they are patched in is backwards thinking?

edit to include screen; from a time before heros, before henchmen even had decent ai all the way back in 2005

omg nostalgia is all over the place… ToA is now in godslost swamp, Brisban wilds is filled with ghosts from gw1, The Granite Citadel is there…ish lol, complete with a tombstone for Kilroy Stonekin, and a number of other collectors and hench. The statue of Dwayna and temple to grenth from old Lornar’s pass and the now non-existent Dreadnaut’s Drift are both also there… all be it, with everything in ruins. Same for Droknar’s Forge, and the Eye of the North itself (still wish i could view my gw1 account’s monuments), few things left of old LA, and that wizard’s tower that used to sit off Galrath’s cliff in Kessex peak is still there, but different. And don’t forget that the Searing Cauldron from Presearing resides yet…. Plenty of nostalgia to go around without opening up GW1 (though I admit, i still have it on my system too lol)

But for me personally, the stuff that really made me smile most in GW1 is all gone and forgotten… Like this little nook in one of the interim zones running from ToA towards the west where a very small, magical rock monument, not tied to any quests, was (and a boatload of imps as well), and the Fisherman’s Haven… and tbh, the shiverpeaks were far, far better in gw1 because I was running around on the peaks, not stuck mostly down in the ditches… and it was all pure wintery delight from beacons to droks to marhan’s grotto (a place I truly, truly miss as it truly was a never-ending moot in gw1 until nightfall came out) and not this silly green valley buisness lol.

But my heart truly belongs to the crystal desert, the ruined, silent monuments, half-burried in the dunes… a place that had to grow on me… and that I never fully appreciated until vanquishing it… but unlike most of the rest i’ve mentioned, it isn’t here yet… ahh, memories

Every time I see dwarven ruins I get nostalgic. I spent so much time down in Snakes and Lornar’s mapping.

and i still hate the dredge before and above any other type of enemy in both entire games…

only thing i hate worse than dredge was a “friendly” npc, Kormir, who i wish i had a /defecate emote to use every time i passed one of her stupid statues -.-

Guilty of running GW.exe just to hear the song at the login screen.

If I remember correctly, I took this pic back near release of Prophecies. It was my first time doing their PvP… Ascalon Arena, I think? It was all low level PvP (I dont think anyone was 20 yet). And I thought I was teh awesomesauce for hitting 63 wins lol. I imagine by now folks have hit wins in the thousands. =D

lol we definitely didn’t have another on our team. I don’t remember how many we ran into on opposite teams =D

When I first started GW1, I was obsessed with their healing system. Using a primarily regen system instead of the usual health boost systems I was used to (I was coming from Shadowbane at the time)… I couldn’t get enough of it. It made my team love me, since I was one of the few who actually liked healing at the time. =D

finding people who actually like playing full support roles is a very, very rare thing… its why i think they’ve tried to get rid of that whole system in gw2… plenty of games i played where i had a healer character just to konw i had one, but never made any mention of it for fear of being stuck playing it and never getting to do anything meaningful with a weapon ever again lol… kudos to you for making your group happy :P

and btw… being the only one with the power to make my own team die was never enough, though there were plenty of times i would have paid monks to leave certain people dead lol

I really like the Crystal Desert with its wide open areas. I’m a big fan of desert areas and I hope when we go back that it still has that big open feeling even with the big scar across it.

Here’s a good one! The Campfire login screen!

One of my favorite places in the entire game.
