Guild Wars Mania

The GuildWars.com Game updates page (thanks Guild Wars Slovenija) has details on a big new update that's now live for ArenaNet's MMORPG. There is also word that the (extended) Guild Wars: Factions head start program has begun for those with pre-order keys. Finally, they have a confirmation that the Guild Wars: Factions Collector's Edition is in short supply, saying more copies of the unintentionally limited edition of the game will be ready June 30th, gulping some kool-aid and gamely spinning this as "good news."

It never was a limited edition, it was a collectors edition (same game and a boxful of novelty junk). The only reason it's limited is that someone screwed up and didn't make enough of them for the initial release of the game.

PvP is where Guild Wars shines. Global World Championships, PvP skill builds and strategies, teamplay tactics, coordination, role execution etc...

Of course the single player game is also fun, but the PvE part in Guild Wars is more like a action RPG. When you finish it, you finish it.

In Factions on the other hand the developers created new PvE types that offer more replayability like so called Challenge missions that will keep best scores (like defending from waves of mosters on a timer kinda missions), Competitive missions where multiple teams try to reach a goal (RTS elemets) and of course Alliance Battles (4+4+4 vs. 4+4+4) for control of cities, outposts, the world map and access to Elite missions.

The game is definitly evolving and this is just the beginning.

So yeah, check it out. Definitly worth even if you just play thru the new story line and get like 50+ hours of gameplay out of it.

Likewise here; I played it almost nonstop for the first month or so and then once I hit that part where you go after the successive dragons, it just lost all appeal. Sure, some games are same-old but it just seemed more pronounced in GW. *shrug* You're not the only one.

I hope nin doesn't have a meltdown waiting for his copy, I need someone to try and protect with the new healing spells.

I'm hitting one Best Bi @ lunch while TV hits the other at the same time, and we'll be in contact via cell.

Wish me luck...

ehe, making the limited edition non limited anymore

It was so limited that people that preordered over month ago are being told they <MIGHT> get it next week (or not)...despite the game already being in full swing right now, for preorder customers.
