Thinking of coming back..

Alright so I used to play Guild Wars heavily, but then got bored around the release of Nightfall and stopped playing for a while. I've logged back in a few times in the past week looking for something to spark my interest in the game again. I log in and I just don't know what to do...do you guys have any suggestions on things that I could do that would get me going again, both PvE and PvP.

Thanks in advance.

Is it on sale or something? It was $29.99 when I picked it up a few months ago.

RE: Thinking of coming back..

Well, im going to jump over the flames here.

I'm not sure, have you ever done places such as Fissure of Woe, or Underworld? And in Nightfall Domain of Anguish? If not, or you've never truly been successful, now is an opportune time to check those places out.

You see, with Eye of the North comes Ursan Blessing, a PvE-only skill which gives you far greater resilience against attacks, and deals alot of damage, especially if you manage to get a high Norn title, which isn't too hard to do.

Ursan Teams are both a blessing and a curse, some people declare it talentless handywork, others declare it ''L337'' because it simply packs too much punch (its overpowered) and turns places which usually had absurdly high requirements into nothing more then a ''Join Party & Go'' zone.

That's just one part, in Eye of the North there's alot to explore, go around and such, the PvE skills, most popular Norn blessing give the game a change, and make it fun to expirement in previous campaigns to see just how much of a breeze things become.
The Storyline itself isn't too spectacular, atleast the storyline is, but the gameplay time, generally it can be finished in a day's work, averaging 6-8 hours of playtime, which isn't that much compared to other campaigns. (talking about new players to that campaign)

Still, alot of updates as said & small improvements, and some new armors ofcourse, and so on.
You can always try to hunt for titles aswell, or just focus on one an hour per day and having variation in what you do, one hour Exploring, the other hour FoW, saves you from suffering a Guild Wars Burnout :)

Also something that came out after a bit in Nightfall was Hard mode. It is a way to pretty much do everything in PVE against harder monsters/bosses. It can give someone a challenge and the loot drops are much better.

In PVP, they did add Zaishen Keys for people to get loot with if they had unlocked everything or did not want to unlock things.

Seriously I've not long came back and I'm just HOOKED in alliance battles! Seriously you should try it out, on saying that PvP has all ways been my playing style and I've all ways hated the pointless PvE grind fest (even though compared to a lot of other mmorpgs it's not a grind at all lol)

Save your balth faction for keys use them and pray or sell them off and make some dosh! Spend your faction on amber / Jade and yey a good amount of money made (seriously not a good idea if you want to make money, it's so slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww lol)

That doesn't make sense :p You don't like the "grind fest" in PvE, but you keep doing AB over and over? That's pretty much the same thing every time, with a few small changes :p

Yeah but it's fun! It's not like attacking an NPC over and over and over and over! I can't get enough of it! I used to RA constantly but they ruined it with the non leaving thing, I mean it was bad how everyone left but come on >.< I had a warrior today that was attacking another warrior over a monk CONSTANTLY like 15 mins of attacking that warrior! So painful to play there!

RE: Thinking of coming back..

Well, I was just pointing something out :p And let's end the off-topic talk before it goes über-off-topic and ends up in being locked :)

My ideas at getting back into the game for PvE is starting a new character, starting to do high-end areas or start doing some title-hunting. For PvP, I have no clue
