Yes.... but all it takes to inspire me to replay gw1 is to say the words "guild wars" lol. It's easily one of my all time favorite games and nothing else like it really exists.
"I wanted this to be a high quality source where future people could experience Guild Wars 1 in its entirety". *TIME FOR ANOTHER DOOM UN-BOXING* Yeah. No problems here.
@@AkhshamiKsyAksKhaos they were bought by NCSoft before the game even launched. It was Mike O'Brien's ambition to not make the 3rd expansion and go for Guild Wars 2 instead, nothing to do with NCSoft.
Once you have a Warrior hero, set it up with the RUNNING skill - forget what it is - so your whole party can move faster. Both Paragon and Warrior can help the party run faster through the game. They automatically trigger the skill to keep you moving.
I think Yes you can do Bonus Mission packs but ONLY after you beat that campaign as a reward so: Beating Prophecies = you can do Saul D'Alessio's Pack, then Factions = togo etc, the ONLY thing up for debate would be when to do Gwen's As Honestly I think you shoudl do Gwen's BEFORE eotn, just so that the story fits, as the other stories take place LONG Before their campaigns, while EOTN takes only like 2-3 years before eotn I think
I remember Alessia. I was in the shiverpeaks between some outposts and somehow we all managed to die except alessia. She decided, instead of helping or just dying...she would run back and forth between two nodes on the map. I had no choice but to quit and go back a few areas.
Wife and I used your baby chick moa guide waaay back and it was fun to watch the video and then do it in-game. Love that you've kept the intro classic :) oh and that was an interesting unboxing, in a bathroom with a block of knives ;)
When I first started playing and got to Lion's Arch, finding out I could buy new chapters and go to new contents blew my mind. I immediately bought Factions. Logged in and went to Kaineng. And saw all the new skills at the trainer. I felt like a kid in a massive toy store. It was a great time.
Thank you for this series. Guild Wars holds a special place in my mind! I come on for a while every year or more just to remind myself of the world and the joy I had exploring it.
Guild Wars really has a very big place in my heart. The endless possibilities when you do your builds, the great expansions the story everything just pulled me in so much as a kid to the point of having posters on my walls of this game. Will forever have loving flashbacks when I look at videos of this old gem. I still have all the game boxes on my shelf and what you did with the manual broke my heart. So sad Guild Wars 2 is on the bring of death they had such large field to do absolutely amazing and they settled for mediocre at best.
Best hero builds I've ever seen ! Love tour serie, love the videos, keep going, you have a fan in me ! P.S.: I think you should definitely do the bonus mission pack.
Nostalgia. I remember coming back and not knowing about the heroes and I tried to talk to them as if they were real players. Then you get the 3 necromancers and wreck everything.
If you're wanting people to see this video series 10 years from now to show how awesome it is/was then you need to do the bonus mission pack as well. I don't have it myself (yet), but I would like to see it.
FYI: YES those trial/buddy keys are extremely useful, I have had, and still have tons of them from back in day.. My friends ask for them from time to time, I just gave one to a buddy who was nightfall only... And for people who do not own every game, You can still keep Armor, loot & titles once the trial expires. (YOu cannot USE the skills, heroes, etc you get until fully unlocked) I also have methods to trade to trial/new accounts that have limitations.
Back in day I used to video record opening my games because there are legit real times when the cdkey has been taken, used or not even in the case from manufacture.
Most people are incorrectly redistricting their vanilla experiences, and bonus mission pack IS a part of the game, however added later, I think it would be ok to do on your account once you reach level 20? @8:50 You CAN get back into that area anytime to cartographer and also the game has MORE than 100% cartographer so you don't need to stress on every little bit. Cartographer IS tricky business as, the map/title does not trigger on the exact spot. sometimes you have to re-walk an area or even reload an area or go far from the spot to get it triggered for title.
This series makes me want to start fresh aswell. I remember ascalon city having 10 +active district, even international. I know this guy at 18:28 lol. We play every now and then. He's nice once you get to know him
Liked and subscribed. Love the gw1 content man. I played it a little back in the day but as a big fan of gw2 i'm trying to complete the hall of monuments now.
Just picked up the complete collection, and surprised at how little I know regarding what to do. Currently playing GW2, and other than geographical locations, the game play is totally different. I did play a char to lvl 5 for some "feel." That would be with the first, Prophecies, I believe it is. Watching a few videos for some hints on beginning, and everyone seems to be starting with different chars in different versions. At least I know there won't be any jump puzzles....
yes indeed: we get to play fort aspenwood every saturdays and sundays at 4pm (EST) and we have a discord here : discord.gg/Ahz54F2 if you can ignore some of the...specimens: you can actually have a pretty good time in the mode :p
I don't know what your plan is, but after doing a half a dozen toons, I setttled on a strategy of doing Eye of the North as soon as possible and following the quests to get the Asura skills - Up through Pain Inverter. This is a way OP skill that can kill stuff much more easily, even when it's a BOSS. And then there's Mercenaries? Going to use them with the trick to build them using PVP characters to avoid having to level them? Also then there's the Discord Elite skill build for necros. Which of course you need mercs so you can have a party of Ritualists and necros - unstoppable. All this follows your rules as far as I can see. I'll be following.
This game shouldn't ever die off. This should actually get a remaster. This is a different game than GW2. This is a card game of sorts, and you cannot ever become super-powerful. This isn't pay-to-win. This is timing, skill and intelligence of using your 8 cards. This can be replicated, but I have never seen this skill system replicated in a mmorpg.
That's it. I'm going to start playing again. Who knows how I can download all the games files without being in the game so I don't need to load each individual area ??
TBH I like ranger hero better for spirit spamming than elementalist hero. I like using less energy per spirit as energy management than having a bigger energy pool, and rangers armors have better rating especially against elemental damage.
Elite charr armor has bin my armor since like 2005 back then it came full decked out with insignias..... cuz they didn't exist you had to buy certain armors to get certain effects xD
Really awesome Lets Play, love Guild Wars. You could capture it in 4K or at least 1440p because of the poor video quality, for future it would be really nice
I started off with Nightfall when is first came out. I never got to finish it. Got stuck in a certin spot and then GW2 dropped. Should have stayed with Nightfall, but I am going to start it back up and try to finish. Need to relearn this game again tho...
Someone clearly forget ranger heros are great at spirit spamming thanks to expertise. Thanks to that I use to use a ranger and not a rit as my spirit spammer.
I actually played the whole of prophecies only once... The other Times I simply rushed to Droknars :D To be fair, the First campaign I got was Nightfall
@@tempatempo3805 I think heroes should still be allowed since getting a party of players isn't a given, going through the harder missions with henchmen only would be hell. But since he isn't doing the skill restriction rule he's just going to steamroll the game with some bullshit mesmer/necro/rit op setup.
@@tempatempo3805 samle, would have been fun to see him play normally through prophecies first, then move to factions without getting heroes, skills etc
I played GW since it was first released but quit a few weeks back due to everyone in the game being in the same couple of Guilds and people flooding the game with online-bought ectos. It soon takes the fun away. I doubt i'll play again unless things change. At least in the old days the field was a bit more level.
if there is one thing u need to take from this video, it would be the fact that arena net will be out of business because they keep making stupid decisions. period
Extra rule: you have to keep Alesia for as long as possible.
What you said between 1:13 and 1:33.
Bro, that is a honorable thing to do.
Subbed.
Is anyone else inspired to replay Gw1 because of boombox? I really am!
I'm inspired to play for first time!
That game was so fun! I actually think it was more fun than gw2
I tried but the combat speed is too slow for me
Yes.... but all it takes to inspire me to replay gw1 is to say the words "guild wars" lol. It's easily one of my all time favorite games and nothing else like it really exists.
completely, its a fun game to jump into every so often
These videos are a weekly treat for me, I always watch them as soon as I see them. Love this game.
"I wanted this to be a high quality source where future people could experience Guild Wars 1 in its entirety".
*TIME FOR ANOTHER DOOM UN-BOXING*
Yeah. No problems here.
They should have made the Utopia Expansion.
Bought out by...ncsoft...enough typed...
@@AkhshamiKsyAksKhaos they were bought by NCSoft before the game even launched. It was Mike O'Brien's ambition to not make the 3rd expansion and go for Guild Wars 2 instead, nothing to do with NCSoft.
@@ekimolaos. Hmmm...this one stopped working I think...

In socks and what appears to be his boxers.......
Greatness
Yes, do the bonus mission pack!
So /cokeplay is apparently working because of a promotion in Korea with Coca Cola that granted access to a multitude of promotional items.
I got goosebumps when you got into Cantha and I heard the Cantha music starting... My first Guild Wars campaign and the most replayable!
When I first started playing and got to Lion's Arch, finding out I could buy new chapters and go to new contents blew my mind. I immediately bought Factions. Logged in and went to Kaineng. And saw all the new skills at the trainer. I felt like a kid in a massive toy store. It was a great time.
Bonus mission pack just gives you access to customized inscribedable weapons with unique skins.
still can't believe you're back, keep it up :D
Thank you for this series.

Just the type of videos I wanna see on TH-cam. Love what you're doing, looking forward to the next part
yeah doing the bonus missions should be allowed. Cool to see this series all these years after i finished the game. Keep up the vids!
There was a lot of Doom-Booty in this episode. XD
😳
Ladies and gentlemen we got him, the god of unboxing sessions walking among the mere mortals we are!
Nightfall
Nostalgia. I remember coming back and not knowing about the heroes and I tried to talk to them as if they were real players. Then you get the 3 necromancers and wreck everything.
after all these years, guild wars is still so damn good!
I'm surprised you didn't pick up Olias from Lions Arch, cuz that's an easy necro for the early game!! Love the series though dude, please keep it up!!
he need consulate docks
doing 1400 things to hook up one hero with a skill is what GW is all about!

Anyone else remember the night where they made all the material super cheap by error? It's was crazy and they had to a server reset.
That's it. I'm going to start playing again.
Who knows how I can download all the games files without being in the game so I don't need to load each individual area ??
liam handley you go to run, find gw.exe and put a space after it and type "-image" and run it once :)
remember to remove "-image" after the whole thing download or else the game wont start up

Really awesome Lets Play, love Guild Wars. You could capture it in 4K or at least 1440p because of the poor video quality, for future it would be really nice
you get all the heroes after finishing the nf main story
Ok, curiosity is getting the best of me: DOOMBOX WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE??!! Pleeeeease?
22:50 there's a quest that reward you xp and some gold if i'm not wrong, just for making a party and going outside :P

Thunderhead Keep in 2005 was the best and worst thing ever.
Marhans Grotto was the best party city.
Yes, use the bonus mission pack

The other Times I simply rushed to Droknars :D
To be fair, the First campaign I got was Nightfall
That beautiful LA music
I'm mostly curious why you have you a full set of knives set up next to your toilet.
Cool i just started playing again I'm aming to get gwam on my paragon and today i did a deep run zb with ramdom pug group was really fun
Is there any reason not to get Olias?
just have to progress a little into nf
I still have my nightfall collectors edition
also , hell yesyou should be able to do the bonus mission pack
Doom box is rich?!
Allesia DID eat paint chips as a kid....and how dare you judge her people for being a paint chip eating culture!
Yea I bought a new account just to do this exact thing.
If it's the extra/bonus missions that you do after completing each story/expansions then I say you should
nope it's a DLC of little stories that make you able to unlock special skin weapons
Am I crazy to prefer the first GW game to the second one...?
No, this is the correct opinion
I say yes to bonus mission pack cuz I havent seen any good content on them.

Reinstalled the game yesterday.. and i didn’t understand shit even after playing 3000 hours in the past
I would argue you cant use 2nd prof until you get to factions
I need to down load this again and start playing
looking for friends ingame just started to play gw1 again. GW1 was my first Multiplayer RPG =)
