Dude, I don't know why but whenever I see you upload I feel immense joy. I don't even play GW anymore. You are someone that connects us to our good old days so please keep uploading and reminding us what the World once was!
I'm 30+ but relatively new to gw (started playing ~6 years ago), it's always a delight to see a video from you, like the world still holds and there's still something good in it.
Your painting of Livia is phenomenal. That you managed to capture an expression that makes her look even /more/ apathetic is a testament to your ability as an artist. Get your kids' drawings off the fridge, and let Livia take her throne upon your kitchen.
I was around for your original videos! Your videos used to be a comfort watch for me whenever school would suck too much, lol. Likewise for Daelin Dwin's videos, I think both of you shaped my humour quite a bit
Yay, this video brightened my mood! Didnt watch all the way back then, but maybe around 2012 and forth. Still havent gotten my GWAMM, just takes so long and i only get spontanous urges to hop back into the game. Your intro is iconic, love the back to bay 6 opening. A lot in this video is a throwback to the times i especially hunted that lone survivor on a map, ugh the frustrations of finding it. Happy you are still around and seems to be doing well.
Doom box, I use to watch your videos all the time when I was a teen and you still uploading and I'm still playing gw. Thank you for all you have done for the community, legend.
When the triple Discordway came out during the times there was still a 3 hero limit, the game suddenly became so much easier. Little did we know there was an even more OP build on the horizon with E-Surgeway
I don’t think I was even running discordway. I feel like there was another build that was even least hands on that ran 3 necros. I tried to find it years later when I got back into the game but couldn’t find the builds.
I love vanquishing so much. Each campaign had something fabulous to offer. Tyria? Beautiful lands. GOD FORSAKE VAETTIR SPAWNS EVERY 2 FEET. Cantha? Much imperial, very wow. RAY OF JUDGEMENT ANYONE? Elona? We all love an ancient landscape don't we? Why am I a WURM. Ahh and of course, Eye of the North... Who could forget the 23 RAPTOR PACKS THAT KEEP RUNNING INTO ME EVERY SECOND OF EVERY MOMENT.... I love vanquishing
I watched the original episodes. Hell, I even got the privilege that my question was included in your "Let's read some mail" segment. It was in "Guide To W/N Raptor Farming HM Guild Wars" video. I was learning English back then and my teacher complimented me for the correct spelling (I was 12 or 13 back then). The amount of nostalgia is huge. "nice videos btw"
I remember my grandpa introduced me to guild wars, and some time later I discovered doom box. It's a huge nostalgia trip everytime I see a new upload from you.
I still play GW consistently, speed clearing elite endgame areas has kept me going. I also watched all of your videos wayyyy back in the day too. Glad to see that you still make the occasional video.
my dad introduced me to gw when I was 8 years old na dhe had a whole (physical) folder of pvx builds printed, he also showed me your videos. Watcher ever since
Perfect, I'm finishing up my HoM for Guild Wars 3 personally! Looking forward to them making a true sequel to this game. Some areas can have quest to reduce foe counts, so it is often worth checking the wiki pages for a zone and getting other zone specific tips. There's a guide on the wiki for vanquisher, though it's not as worthwhile an experience as this video, not to mention Doom offers great tips and insights here that aren't on wiki! This might be the most meta and optimal build, but understanding why these builds work so well is all you need to create your own teams to solve the same challenges. There's some people who have completed vanquisher as a solo character without henchmen or heros, so remember strategy can overcome all else I'm happy to watch a Doom Box Guild Wars video, and it was such a nostalgic experience to revisit and see your refined taste reiterating upon what was once perfection. Pretty sure I saw Chris P Bacon
Doom, back in 2008 and on have been THE youtuber to watch. Your content tends to be perfect for the era, and you fill it with a spirit that still matches the spirit of the content you make today. I am a major fan of this video and what you did, fully in support of it. I see a passion in the edits/things you did here. There was a level of refined crudeness. like showing off skills, you just showed the window in game not bothering with some polished slideshow with it all prepared and display, because there wasn't a need and the game provided a better atmosphere. you understand that the art is in what is represented, not how crude the representation is. the rough paint style animations are fun, they don't need to be refined, but sometime you do refine them, and it's pretty dope to see what you do with editing. I think you're ready to make some more Guild Wars 1 videos in what remains of the year until the 20th anniversary. The time to reiterate & better express key experiences of the game might be now. That way when new content releases you're practiced up to show off your ability in a big way
Wow... I’ll admit these days are busy so it’s hard to play but this video warmed my heart and brought back some nice memories of my childhood. Thanks for taking me back to bay6 Doombox
Me and my brother played when they launched elite skills for all classes a few years ago in a random update, still just as fun lol whenever that was. I obsessively have to have all skills on my warrior and they forced my hand 😂
I am not sure how far back in time I was made aware of your videos, what I do know however is that I remember your videos from long long ago. Might have been 2008, but also 2010, considering I was a complete utter noob in 2008 and didn't know anything about WASD MMO's, as my first MMO was RuneScape which I started in 2007.
Been here since about 2017/18. I started playing GW2 in 2012 when it launched and got to know your channel through WoodenPotatoes. I later started playing GW1 for a bit too but never really got into it because I had no one to play it with. Really enjoyed your GW1 playthrough videos!
He goes and comes back alone But always A hero comes home. Have watches your videos pretty much from the beginning. Was a total surprise to see a new vid pop up!
The mesmer + ritualist +dop necro hero build is such a great way to solo guild wars in the modern era. I got back to the game around 2018 and built this team to experience so much of the game I was never able to back in the day. fully geared and optimized it will clear any content in the game. If you're feeling like paying to win as well you can buy a skill unlcok and the mercenary hero slots in the store. All you need to do is create a pvp character and register it as a merc hero and then you can delete the character. this is a super easy way to fill out a party with the exact composition you want.
Seeing this video has me wanting to re-install all my Guild Wars games again. Thanks! I remember the 2008 vids. In fact, I loved the one showing how single play defeat the Destroyers. I can't even remember what the build was, but it made you invincible as long as they kept hitting you. Anyways, it doesn't work anymore, I remember that much, but it worked at the time.
Dude, you're back! It's crazy I used to watch that triple necro guide from way back. I'm considering going for GWAMM after watching this. It's definitely good to be back to bay 6!
I used to watch your videos way back then ! You're a core memory from my nolife gaming years ! Would appreciatre fun builds videos not necessarily those other youtubers recommend but something original. Anyway any original content I will watch. Even those who are not :p. Have a great end of the year
I watched you back in 2008, I was in KoE. Came on Vent with you guys, Chris, daelin, sleepless? Superfly? Good times, more recently caught up with you on OSRS a couple times over the years as well
I started on dial-up, didn't know about the download all switch so it took forever when going into uncharted places. For new players you should definitely do that while you're asleep, then when you play you won't have to wait for map updates. Also I figured out way back when if you couldn't afford a super vigor you could use a survivor insignia with a major vigor on the chest and have more HP than if you had the super vigor. Love the videos, thanks for sharing!
12:55 MY MAN. I just refuse to acknowledge the new mesmer meta, NMs were a blast to play with. Still remember me and a buddy vanquishing with 6 necros looking like a fucking army.
I live for your videos even though I don't play this game anymore, aside from logging in for the birthday rewards. I must have been like 12 when I started watching and now I'm almost 29.
I love your uploads! Haven't played the game in years, but brings back the nostalgia :D maybe some time in the future I will play it with some of my friends again!
you're the reason i came back for a while, made new char i never did and it was fantastic, sadly i dont have that much time and patience like 10 years ago to do everything there :( Too many games, not enough time.
I'm not far into the video but I must come here to say; I like. The way. She cooks. My waffles. Isn't that what the dude is singing in the intro or have I gone mad? Ok finished, I'm from back in the day (Megadoth warrior) :)
On Beyond content: -The only way to get rid of War in Kryta stuff is to beat War in Kryta. -The only way to get rid of Winds of Change stuff is to take a quest called "Memories of Purity" in Kaineng Center, but this requires completion of "Cleansing Morostav Trail."
Your videos helped me learn english back in the day. Tbh love your videos and would wish for a Guildwars remake... just the old game but a little bit more pretty :D and ofc with all new guides from doombox and the insane paint skills.
My guy was getting REAL close to missing his annual upload 😬⌛
I've been here since Day 1. Played GW since 2005. You're a bloody legend.
I have big respect for you
Dude, I don't know why but whenever I see you upload I feel immense joy. I don't even play GW anymore. You are someone that connects us to our good old days so please keep uploading and reminding us what the World once was!
I was also 15 at the time and still watching to this day. Still play Guild Wars, remembering all the friends made along the way. And friends lost.
dang we old
We rip soon
saaaaameeeee
@@DoomBox really old.. i got the game when Factions was released xD
@@agamersinsanity Same! Those were the times
I'm 30+ but relatively new to gw (started playing ~6 years ago), it's always a delight to see a video from you, like the world still holds and there's still something good in it.
Everytime I watch a doom box I end up pulling out the old account and playing non stop for a few weeks.
Love the vids
Thats so cool!
THE DOOM IS BACK!!!
Nothing like listening to this intro, it's like a warm blanket in the winter.
He has risen!
Your painting of Livia is phenomenal. That you managed to capture an expression that makes her look even /more/ apathetic is a testament to your ability as an artist. Get your kids' drawings off the fridge, and let Livia take her throne upon your kitchen.
Doom Box and Wooden Potatoes. The only things I needed for my Guild Wars needs. Still subscribed.
Guild Wars OG
I was around for your original videos! Your videos used to be a comfort watch for me whenever school would suck too much, lol. Likewise for Daelin Dwin's videos, I think both of you shaped my humour quite a bit
I think I started watching you in 2009 or something when i was 13 and barely understood english, it has been quite a journey
this video got me GWAMM
Yay, this video brightened my mood! Didnt watch all the way back then, but maybe around 2012 and forth. Still havent gotten my GWAMM, just takes so long and i only get spontanous urges to hop back into the game.

wtf ... this is a pleasant surprise
Doom box, I use to watch your videos all the time when I was a teen and you still uploading and I'm still playing gw. Thank you for all you have done for the community, legend.
First video I remember was the triple necro machine, I ran the crap out of that build.
When the triple Discordway came out during the times there was still a 3 hero limit, the game suddenly became so much easier. Little did we know there was an even more OP build on the horizon with E-Surgeway
I don’t think I was even running discordway. I feel like there was another build that was even least hands on that ran 3 necros. I tried to find it years later when I got back into the game but couldn’t find the builds.
omg, this feels like i am watching old youtube. Love it, this is gold content!
I’ll never get tired of going back to bay6
I love vanquishing so much. Each campaign had something fabulous to offer. Tyria? Beautiful lands. GOD FORSAKE VAETTIR SPAWNS EVERY 2 FEET. Cantha? Much imperial, very wow. RAY OF JUDGEMENT ANYONE?

Giving the option between major or superior on the headpiece is heresy. Also that ranger skill bar made me cry. Love u
nice comment, FRICKER
Watched then, watching now
Nothing beats that yearly rush of excitement and nostalgia that a fresh Doom Box upload brings. God, Guild Wars is amazing.
I watched the original episodes. Hell, I even got the privilege that my question was included in your "Let's read some mail" segment. It was in "Guide To W/N Raptor Farming HM Guild Wars" video. I was learning English back then and my teacher complimented me for the correct spelling (I was 12 or 13 back then). The amount of nostalgia is huge.

I remember my grandpa introduced me to guild wars, and some time later I discovered doom box. It's a huge nostalgia trip everytime I see a new upload from you.
your grandpa is BASED
I still play GW consistently, speed clearing elite endgame areas has kept me going. I also watched all of your videos wayyyy back in the day too. Glad to see that you still make the occasional video.
My man is a GWAMM with this posting schedule…
GW1 was a huge part of my childhood, remember watching your videos back in like 2008-2010.
Thanks for giving me a nostalgia blast today
the boy that lived.
Man i thought you were dead or something, nice to see u posting again.
So much Nostalgia!
I miss this game!
SIRE YOU ARE BACK!?
Damn I started watching you back when you started posting vids so long ago...nice to see this pop up made me nostalgic
my dad introduced me to gw when I was 8 years old na dhe had a whole (physical) folder of pvx builds printed, he also showed me your videos. Watcher ever since
Perfect, I'm finishing up my HoM for Guild Wars 3 personally! Looking forward to them making a true sequel to this game.
Some areas can have quest to reduce foe counts, so it is often worth checking the wiki pages for a zone and getting other zone specific tips.

always nostalgic to see your uploads. been lurking since the early days, maybe 2010 ish. much love.
I still remember your instruction of "Mash your skills" on a Ritualist farm build :P Thats how old I am
haha, I recall!
stated with such confidence, how could we not listen, seems like it still might be the meta optimal strategy today
Been here since about 2017/18. I started playing GW2 in 2012 when it launched and got to know your channel through WoodenPotatoes. I later started playing GW1 for a bit too but never really got into it because I had no one to play it with. Really enjoyed your GW1 playthrough videos!
He goes and comes back alone
But always
A hero comes home.
Have watches your videos pretty much from the beginning. Was a total surprise to see a new vid pop up!
Bae wake up new doom box just dropped
Awww Bae Six :) Good times.

my all time hero & idol as a kid is back.. Holy giggity sauce! Tanktop is your all time fan
YYOOO!!! My man is not dead. I watched your vids since day one, man that is crazy to even think about
my nostalgia blanket for the winter
I LITERALLY LOOKED YOU UP LAST WEEK TO SEE IF YOU UPLOADED ANYTHING NEW
THANK YOU
Seeing this video has me wanting to re-install all my Guild Wars games again. Thanks! I remember the 2008 vids. In fact, I loved the one showing how single play defeat the Destroyers.
I can't even remember what the build was, but it made you invincible as long as they kept hitting you. Anyways, it doesn't work anymore, I remember that much, but it worked at the time.
I never finished GW1 and I'm actually running through it right now, so this video is really helpful.
Last thing I expected to see today, nice one dude
that intro is legend
My Lord i had to put my glass's on to see that you uploaded again, my guy glad to see you going.
Nice to see an upload from you, my fingers are starting to hurt from being crossed for so long in hopes of a nightfall playthrough
LEts go!
I was here, thjanks for the upload Doom Box
Ive definitely been watching since the oldddd videos, classic. Happy to see a revitalization of them!
wtf a doom box upload right after I finished rewatching both your prophecy and faction playthrough. Still waiting for a full ironman gwamm vod.
Dude, you're back! It's crazy I used to watch that triple necro guide from way back. I'm considering going for GWAMM after watching this. It's definitely good to be back to bay 6!
I remember watching your videos back then. Nostalgia hits hard. I want to play GW1 now 😢
I used to watch your videos way back then ! You're a core memory from my nolife gaming years ! Would appreciatre fun builds videos not necessarily those other youtubers recommend but something original. Anyway any original content I will watch. Even those who are not :p. Have a great end of the year
Doom box is back , OMG!!!!
Bin watching your videos from the beginning
I used to watch your videos at 2008 👉👈😳
I remember watching your videos in 2008, when I was in elementary school! I still enjoy gw (though mainly only participate in holiday events) 👍
I watched you back in 2008, I was in KoE. Came on Vent with you guys, Chris, daelin, sleepless? Superfly?
Good times, more recently caught up with you on OSRS a couple times over the years as well
dang those are some OG names for sure. What's your IGN or other name you went by back then?
That’s a good group of names right there
Always a pleasure to see your new content !!
Would love to see your let's play again or some twitch sessions.
Live long !
now we need a remake of the death lvling video
only that you dont have to death lvl anymore sob
I started on dial-up, didn't know about the download all switch so it took forever when going into uncharted places. For new players you should definitely do that while you're asleep, then when you play you won't have to wait for map updates.
Also I figured out way back when if you couldn't afford a super vigor you could use a survivor insignia with a major vigor on the chest and have more HP than if you had the super vigor. Love the videos, thanks for sharing!
I cant believe it! BOXDOOM!

3:00 ursanway, only 90s kids remember
Those who remember will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze
Back when you made your sabway videos I didn't even have nightfall, oh how times have changed
Insane video. Well done. Been watching since like 2012
of course i watched your old videos and youre the only gw content creator im following
I love your uploads! Haven't played the game in years, but brings back the nostalgia :D maybe some time in the future I will play it with some of my friends again!
Legend! Hope you are doing great! Made my day, seeing you still play the game :)
you're the reason i came back for a while, made new char i never did and it was fantastic, sadly i dont have that much time and patience like 10 years ago to do everything there :(
Too many games, not enough time.
oh i definitely watched them back in the day. Still subscribed!
I'm not far into the video but I must come here to say; I like. The way. She cooks. My waffles.
Isn't that what the dude is singing in the intro or have I gone mad?
Ok finished, I'm from back in the day (Megadoth warrior) :)
we missed you
Always funny to see these pip up glad i stay subbed 😂 never change that classic intro haha
I remember the FoWSC video! Played with my dad back then, and still hop in every once in a while!
On Beyond content:
-The only way to get rid of War in Kryta stuff is to beat War in Kryta.
-The only way to get rid of Winds of Change stuff is to take a quest called "Memories of Purity" in Kaineng Center, but this requires completion of "Cleansing Morostav Trail."
lol just goes to show how bad at the game i am
@DoomBox I bet you spam Flare. Shame.
The nostalgia goes so hard.
Still here since the original videos. Can't wait for you to jump into gw3 when it comes out
holy shit another GW1 video let's fucking GO
babe wake up doom box released a new video
So good to go back to Bae Six
Your videos helped me learn english back in the day. Tbh love your videos and would wish for a Guildwars remake... just the old game but a little bit more pretty :D and ofc with all new guides from doombox and the insane paint skills.
I'll never scroll past a doombox video
Can you make a guide to farming the spiders outside of Sunspear great hall? Thanks!
*fake gw1 classic hype intensifies* Joking aside, glad to see a couple Doom Box videos even in 2024.
The LEGEND is back!
I was only a few months old when Prophecies dropped. Idk how I got my hands on it but I am loving it
Thanks my dude
The mad lad has done it again
He's back!
Honorable mention
I came to realize that swapping out the sos for a xinraes weapon rit in late nightfall and late prophecies was insanely good
