Hero’s ascent now allows you to make all henchie and hero teams!
it’s been so long, it literally feels like a new game and our guild halls are still there!
and I was happy to see there is still a nice population in the game!

perk for new players – you actually get to design your own skillbar and customize your strategy with not one, but 2 professions at the same time!! woot! The pvp has way more strategy as you can devote your role to healing your team – much more intelligent combat!

And a function for …get this …..Guild vs Guild …yep, a whole selection of areas to fight private guildwars!

I’d rather take my business else where, I’d personally rather pay full price for another expansion and a monthly fee just on principle. Thats just me, other are entitled to do as they wish.

Hey look I used the word entitled !

Albeit, used incorrectly.

OT: I tried to get back into GW1, but I forgot my password and lost my serial code AND made it with an @ncsoft temporary email address. They don’t support those emails anymore, so they can’t reset it for me. I wish I could have gotten into GW1 earlier than I did. The movement was clunky, but I felt like I didn’t get to fully appreciate it at the time.

they kept patching it, when i went back in, i had patches waiting for me….it’s much smoother now. literally felt like a new game to me and the work isn’t wasted because you can still get titles for gw2.

maybe instead of trying to get old account password back, ask gw2 team if they can link your old account, which would probably be much easier

Well, I did try that, but it’s like this. My wife and I both have GW1 accounts, and we both have GW2 accounts, but when we started playing GW2 more, she ended up getting the GW2 account in my name and I ended up getting the GW2 account in hers. So, this account is registered under her, but all of the characters on it are exclusively mine. Anet doesn’t do ownership transfers, so instead of deleting our progress we just decided to keep the opposite accounts.

The problem is that she linked her GW1 account with the her GW2 account before we knew about this (the one registered under my name) and they won’t link my GW1 account with my GW2 account (the one registered under her name) because it’s not registered under my name. I would have to log in to my GW1 account correctly and link it manually, which I tried to no avail.

I may try again later though, but I have all but given up on getting it back.

well maybe with all the fuss on the forum now, and your post, a moderator would be so kind as to help.

as crazy as it sounds helping them sell gw1 while the gw2 fiasco gets fixed helps them and would probably make the community closer as we all understand where we are coming from. Gw is not just a consumer base, we are a culture with a rich history, which I for one am very fond and proud of.

this bad moment will not change our history, just another bug to be fixed!

no, actually we had strong stances! we didn’t run, we hardly had a chance to heal, we actually had to think and work together, if you made your build too strong in healing, you wouldn’t be able to kill a fly …so you really had to plan stuff out!

so all these new toyz in gw2 actually made people weaker strategists.

yall know to run jump and dodge, we didn’t have that …we had to pull, isolate and spike to stay alive.

thats imo whats missing from the pvp to make it seriously competitive

in gw1 – we had to work as a team because each build had a specific purpose …so i’ll keep you guys alive, the necro will keep your endurance full so you can keep attacking, and the ranger will pull the target …….it will focus on the endurance / stance warrior …..while the elementalists nuke it. That’s how to kill tequatl with 8-12 men in gw1. that just doesn’t exist in gw2. There is no strong need for teamwork because each player is self sufficient, so the only real strategy is kiting.

this strategy can be had in gw2 , the problem is you don’t have to. We had to, so as vets we have an understanding of the mechanics in a way new gw2 players don’t “Have to” learn…so in a sense the strategist part of the gw culture has lost value in next generations.

i think it would be good for the game for new players to understand the real mechanics behind guildwars, so they can understand why a veteran guild constantly face rolls them.
