Still, to this day, nothing gave me the experience of an epic journey like the original Prophecies game with all its plot twists. While I never even heard of something like a _build_ and forget about something like a _metagame_, I got experience, leveled up and progressed through the story just fine. Here I was picked up at one of the missions and had my first group play. But still, the game explained itself very well and slowly but surely I managed to find my way through the endless lands of post-searing Ascalon. I was quite low level of post-searing and the game was HARD for a newb like me. Not only the tranquil lands of the tutorial area was gone, I also had to face real opposition. Who needs more skills? Well, then I left pre-searing, and it was quite a shock. Killing everything with Flare, Healing myself with Troll's Unguent. I quickly became Ranger secondary just to be able to charm a Stalker and I thought I was the best. I was too shy to actually to anything social yet, but just exploring the world and learning the game was enough. I loved the idea that **I** was finally and actually playing a MMORPG and I absolutely loved the beautiful lands of what is now known as Pre-Searing. ![]() I quickly made my first Elementalist character Hyper Nl (mentioned like my Unreal nickname) and started exploring. ![]() It was my first MMORPG and I was stunned by both the beauty of the game and the ease of the controls. I finally bought a beautiful Prophecies Deluxe edition when it was for sale in a local shop. The year was 2006 when I finally started playing Guild Wars. See, I have some autistic traits in my personality which for now mean that I'm feeling quite a bit of resistance before I try anything new. I've seen a few magazine ads of Guild Wars but I was playing other games by then (Mostly Unreal 1) so I was in no hurry to try anything else. Also, most games of this genre required a monthly fee and because I only had some pocket money to spend what was simply no option. It was very silly to think this way in hindsight, but that was what I thought. The MMORPG genre always intrigued me but they existed for many years already and I surely thought I missed the boat already.

I also find great enjoyment in just exploring the game, including trying to break out of the normal accessible parts of the map and void jumping. Here I regained an old hobby of me, namely Title/Achievement Hunting like I did in GW1. Having finally found a nice build I quickly found myself back into the game, finishing the main story line. But after this break I gave the game a second try and a nice and convenient leveling build guide on YouTube. This ultimately resulted in taking a long break with the game until around the Season 1 finale. However, only a few weeks after the game's official release I more of less got disappointed by the new weapon-based skill system and could not find a build that suited a convenient playing style for me. 7 Ara’s guide to get into raiding for players that were too insecure to tryĪs Guild Wars Legacy player who pre-purchased the game, I started playing during the first beta weekends.6 Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2: A personal story and thanks.2.1.1 General purpose Celestial Tempest.
