RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

I remember the days when threads werent literaly stolen off the front page :P

Meh, i have only been playing the game for the last 17 odd months, so i cant really comment on 'the good old days' too much.

Althought i remember PUG's being a lot better when i first started, i got my prot of canth with nothing but PUG's

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

Those were the golden days IMO. Everyone was a winner- esp. The Last Pride, I miss that guild. Nowadays with more skills and professions, pvp has more of a luck factor.
I miss having failsafe ways of making good money too, such as Underworld and Minotaur farming.

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

when sup absorp was 100k++ and sup vigor was same or more... golden days indeed, when you could get 1kk in less than two days when factions came out, when trapping ettins was uber income, when ecto bug appeared and we had rollback ^^, every friggin joy of completing a mission or quest, the anticipation to do something exciting and challenging... thinking of new builds 'n stuff...

yeah i remember, now it's like something is gone... lost spirit perhaps? dunno ^^"



Kielus [MU] and all is clear

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

I remember when having a golden sword was the bomb, especially a perfect one. I remember when I got my favorite sword ever - a gold felblade with 14%^50% for some 90k plus. Yes, those were the days, at least we have something to look forward to, GW2!!!

TK has never been impossible (or close) to do.  THe problem was people just didn't know the right way to do it, and everyone knew better then everyone else (Sounds like here LOL) how NOT to do it the right way.

2.HA was in the tomb of primeval kings
LOL, yep

3.IWAY took over the pvp HA
(I don't PvP)
 
4.people helped each other (OMG WHEN!?!)
We still do, but the game has seperated the snobs from the helpful.

5.the run to ascolan to sactum kay was 65k 
Can't say i remember it ever being that high.  But then again, I've never been run anywhere.  I took the path of earning my max armor and not cheating the game by getting it while I was still in Ascolon like so many do.

6.monks where on strike and had to be paid to be in the group
They only got away with that because stupid people actually paid them.  Thank god for Guildies back then.






Well I wish I had a nickel, For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
I'd give a ton of money to the ones I’ve hurt, And I’d still be sittin' pretty well

I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real Caught up in these missions of my own
And you're tellin' me you think I’ve done so damn well While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home

There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

i remember those days. when prot bond was useful, when i got my ele to grotto after what appeared to be forever, and saw a lvl 1 ele with full grotto. when i could run the desert, and made a profit. when nobody had a minipet.

when the economy was good. when HoD swords were the only sword you could sell for more than 50k that wasnt max. when my ele used a necro staff. having an army of minions was commonplace

Those days are gone. I wish i could forget how to play the game and start over, and so did everyone else. All i can say is in GW 2 comes out i want:


No Heroes.
Nothing similar to GW1 so its completely new.
Skill rewards for quests.
Fun.

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

An awesome idea would be for Anet to give us the oppertunity to start GW without updating, so that we have all the oldschool stuff back atleast (like PvP arenas on the main map, old character login screen) and people who want to remember the old days can play there, while stupid wammos and flamers stay in the other servers.

And, anyone remembers when bundle tanking was possible, Final Assault farming was the bomb and Malinons Shield went for 60k?(for example) Warcamp is empty these days, makes me sad...

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

I wasn't there in the 'Good old days'. But, the first day that i joined i was shoced at how nice everyone was. I wasn't asking for money off anyway, i was just talking and people were offering me things all over the place. It as pretty cool!

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

How many people actually remember "Attribute Refund Points"?

Builds were barely even thought of then and Templates were probably only a glint in Anet's eye.

XP was actually hard to get (thx Factions....you totally screwed the pooch on that one).

Farming = Ettins, Mountain Trolls, or Minotaurs.....that's it.

I like the way the game is now though. Still hoping for that Shadow Form nerf so that I can farm without competition :D.

Changes in any game are good and bad IMO. I think you will always find some heartache when they change something you like. But think of all the things that are awesome now with the changes.

RE: Do YOU remeber the good old days 

LOL I remember ALL that. Getting rid of the refund points was the best change they have made. I hated having to go out and kill and kill just to get my points back up to change my build.

I still have my screenshot of my Sup Fire rune that was disguised as a minor. Got it while Ettin Farming..the best place back then to get runes. Speaking of which, remember when it was exciting to get a major rune cause they sold well?

I remember when I first got the game and read about Anet's idea to put out a new "chapter" ... they were chapters of one long story and not expansions ... every year and give us some free content ever 6 months. (Sorrow's Furnace anyone?) Still wonder whatever happened there.

Ahhh...good times...good times. :)
