Man im dreaming too. Put about 100 hours into it this year (played since release). The game keeps bringing me back. Holds up well graphically in 2024 and when you do link up with a group its just as good as it was back in the day. Almost more special in 2024. What I wouldn't give for a constant busy chat though when in the city....buy sell buy sell buy sell. Loved the market most in GW1 compared to any other open market in any other game.
After playing at launch and going through all the games this was and still is my favorite game of all time, I just repurchased the complete pack so I can play it again.
Ele here. i quit wow for this and so glad i did the pvp was great as an elementalist main, nuking a node and downing a pack of players was just too much fun. I loved melting faces, derp.
I've been playing since shortly after launch. Pretty casually but I still play every week or so when I have time. Never went for GWAMM. Going for it now. Game still rocks. My wife and I have been playing for just about 20 years by now and it's still fun. I actually still recommend it as to this day there's nothing really like it. It's old but good
Gosh, I miss GW, If it was more active I would play it again. I like playing with others. GW2 is nothing like GW1 , Although it took me a while to get in GW2, I was mad when it first came out because they took what made GW1 great, 2 classes, mass abilities to change around, RAY OF JUDGEMENT!!! ugh that spell was everything for the monk! I made all my heroes and myself a monk, and spam that spell lol
I'm currently playing prophecies for the first time and i'm dealing with some white mantle and i actually fell in love with the game even though it's ancient. What would you say is your favourite profession?
It's a toss up between warrior and assassin. Warrior gets alot of awesome looking armor (I didn't even get into the cosmetics of the game and how huge fashion is), and then assassin can just deal out so much melee aoe with so many defensive buffs.. it's hard to pick one.
@@wayfaringnomad I went for warrior for the armor too :P veteran players say i should switch my second profession from monk to Dervish when i reach the dlc. So far i'm stunned by how good the game is and the cinematics in main missions are a chef's kiss. I hope your video pushes players to try it out because it's a must
These videos will essentially be a list of must play games for my son (and anymore we have), it's just a very unique complete game that you can take at whatever speed casual/hardcore. I'm glad to see new players trying it out!
@@wayfaringnomad hah i see, i once thought i ll go for it also, but after learning what has to be done i instantly quit, not worth the time investment for a title xD
Regarding how melee gets overly nerfed, the rubberbanding isn't so much of a problem as is the heavy melee counters. There should be better counters to blind, blocking and miss in Tactics, perhaps a different stance for each counter with weakness as the drawback. Given the current options, I'm always running Asuran Scan and Warrior's Endurance to provide the needed energy.
@@wayfaringnomad Blind may be of least concern since one can put plenty of condition relief on the backline and Antidote Signet is easy enough to slot (at the cost of going Ranger as a secondary). Miss seems less common. It's really the blocking. A Ranger has a number of cheap (with Expertise) unconditional bow attacks that can't be blocked with no material penalty (if any): Arcing Shot, Called Shot, Crossfire, Precision Shot. The Warrior's options are moderate to high adrenaline and/or are conditional. A Ranger can use Seeking Arrows for ~50% uptime every 20s at ~10e, but Warrior's Cunning also costs 10e for 10s with a 60s recharge. There should be some Warrior derivatives. A 2s attack with +damage that can't be blocked (Arcing Shot, Precision Shot) A 2a no +damage melee attack that can't be blocked (Called Shot) An attack that can't be blocked if adjacent to an ally (Crossfire) As for miss, perhaps an attack with a 50% chance to hit another adjacent foe if the target is missed. A Wild Stance that makes attacks unblockable but ends when one fails to hit. Does Guided Weapon need to be 15e? Allow Ghostly Weapon to be used on self and last 1...3 next attacks? I do have a hero build with all unblockable attack skills which uses Flourish (which should be 1e given its purpose). (Sorry for the lengthy rant.)
Guild Wars 1 is a one of a kind. I'm happy it's a game you can play start to finish and just complete it... but man apart of me wishes it would get more content.
@wayfaringnomad I have always wondered why nobody has tried for the format again. With passion and love I would think it would be much more feasible to do today, it just needs heart to make it last. Path of Exile is the only thing even remotely similar
Hate to tell you, but GW1 is ALive and well. In fact, many ppl did not like GW2, and are returning to GW1. Not to mention, players returning to the game, from the past.
Y'know what really disappointed me about Gw2? I read all 3 of the books and in each one they talk about the Ascalon conflict yet when Gw2 comes around they push it aside and still haven't given it a satisfying conclusion or continuation. It's like it was going to be a big part of the game and slowly got pushed to the side for.. I dunno... friendship? Gw2 lost a lot of grit from Gw1.
its really sad to see that arena net went from this master piece to GW2 (its an ok game but...). The combination of a RPG with MTG (several skills but you could only have 8 slots not limited to weapon type etc) it was almost perfect, the skill captures, the build variety (55 monks and 600 hp for example), FOW and UW, tactical GvG, HoH, Guild halls, GWTV etc... it was groundbreaking and still kinda is, i wished GW2 to be that but modernized like new graphics, JUMP, new classes, more pve content and races (well Charr mostly). TBF i just played GW2 at launch and just gave up, no trinity for pve and it was horrid without it, no freedom to choose skills, pvp was meh, lack of competitive pvp. Loved the idea of changing worlds, world bosses and more dungeons but all went to dirt the way the made it.

GW1 is still the best game I ever played after 4 or 5 years offline. I miss it lmao and my youtube algorithm knows it.
playing since launch. still one of my moste beloved games ever made.
Every year I spend about a month enjoying this gem of a game.
Gone back to GW1 for GW2 rewards, kept playing even after. Someday I'll reach max for all titles 😆
I keep telling myself the same lol
After playing at launch and going through all the games this was and still is my favorite game of all time, I just repurchased the complete pack so I can play it again.
When it came to steam I did the same thing to have that fresh start.
Ele here. i quit wow for this and so glad i did the pvp was great as an elementalist main, nuking a node and downing a pack of players was just too much fun. I loved melting faces, derp.
Got my ass kicked so much by them I had to make one to get in on the fun!
I miss my 55 hp monk.
This one hurts still.
@@wayfaringnomad the one that really hurt me was the complete nerf of the griffon farm. That farm affected the game in so many different ways.
hahaha those lvl 28 foes in HM aint got nothing on my protective spirit + shielding hands/shield of absorbtion
I miss 600.

Absolutely, guild wars 1 is a timeless game. They've made it future proof essentially, I always recommend it when it's appropriate.

Gw1 is a one of a kind and hell yeah ray of judgment! Still amazing... gw2 version of the skill should be ashamed.
GW1 is still active and has enough players.

As a player, I'd say that Ranger and Necromancer are my personal favorites.
@@tarheel7406 Guild wars 1,2 have the best necromancy in MMO history tbh
do you have the "god walking among mere mortals" title in gw2?
Nope, and only because each time I would go for it I would do it on a different profession each time. I had an alt problem.
@@wayfaringnomad hah i see, i once thought i ll go for it also, but after learning what has to be done i instantly quit, not worth the time investment for a title xD

As someone who is going on a MMO rant series.. no need to apologize.. ever lol
great video!
Thank you!
GUILD WARS 1 OWNS !!!

Did I say gw1 was dead? I show off the hubs are alive and kicking my friend. I love this game.
Something tells me you don't really hate to tell him
Gw2 devs ran the amazing story of this franchise into the toilet. F them for that
Y'know what really disappointed me about Gw2? I read all 3 of the books and in each one they talk about the Ascalon conflict yet when Gw2 comes around they push it aside and still haven't given it a satisfying conclusion or continuation. It's like it was going to be a big part of the game and slowly got pushed to the side for.. I dunno... friendship? Gw2 lost a lot of grit from Gw1.

TBF i just played GW2 at launch and just gave up, no trinity for pve and it was horrid without it, no freedom to choose skills, pvp was meh, lack of competitive pvp.
Loved the idea of changing worlds, world bosses and more dungeons but all went to dirt the way the made it.
I wish Anet had the staff to fully support both games. When I get around to gw2 I've got a lot to say.
@@wayfaringnomad i would go the route you mentioned, fully offline, and build GW3 as a remake from GW1 but modern, and go from there.
Gw2 has changed a LOT since launch. I've been playing both a lot lately, but gw1 definitely is better.
