By sente In an early mission in the Guild Wars Factions campaign, our guiding NPC Master Togo discovers a mark on the ground after defeating the enemy (paraphrased): Togo: “It is the mark of Shiro Tagachi” My character: “He who turned the forest to stone and the sea to jade?” Togo: “The very same” Th...

By sente I have not written so much about my play time in Guild Wars lately, but I have been playing when work allowed, which has mainly been during the weekends in the past few weeks. Primarily this has been with my Ritualist (Tarixus), who has been trying to save Cantha from the evil master Shiro Taga...

By sente Even though I choose a PvE universe there seem to be areas which are PvP. At first I did not notice it when I entered a new area, but I then saw in my chat window that there had been a countdown and that I now was in PvP enabled territory. There was no-one else in the area at that time though, so I do not k...

By sente I do not quite see that they are ignoring Guild Wars through - yes, they are not planning any new campaigns/expansions for Guild Wars itself and instead we have to wait for Guild Wars 2. But ArenaNet has more than 150 employees and ...

By sente So before continuing more I decided to try out some other primary professions and then decide what to continue with. What came fairly natural to try out was the two professions that were specific to the Factions campaign, Assassin and Ritualist.

By sente Last night was PvE night with the Tuesday Noob Club. There had been some some previous discussions about going to some elite areas avilable only after the Nightfall campaign was completed. Since some of us more noobier noobs still not had completed Nightfall we brought up the suggestion to...

By sente In Guild Wars there is also Halloween celebrations going on as well. I think compared to the other games I have played Guild Wars has done the best job of providing a bit spooky environment. While I have not explored the event that much, it is neat to look at and listen to. And while doing missions...

By sente Each quest pointed to a different area to go and hunt down a facet connected to a god. In total there were six facets to track down and defeat. Each of them provided a new skill in the reward. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, since I was not aware of these skills and they turned out to be quite ne...

By sente It was pretty straightforward business for a hero though and it was completyed without much trouble. This was also the point were the max group size increased to the regular size of 8. This took much longer to reach than in Nightfall or Factions.

By sente The first trial Wolf attempted was in the Dunes of Despair. In this area Mr Ghost wanted some help with overthrowing an evil Ghost who had placed himself in a place of power. To his aid to defend the place he has a bunch of The Forgotten, which seems to be a race of snake-like (cobra style) people,...

By sente To get in a better mood I decided to cash in what I had currently in my Hero’s Handbook and get enough reputation to get some new armor. My standing with the Ebon Vanguard has been the one with most progress and I thought the Monument armor for the necromancer looked pretty good, so I decided to g...

By sente So overall I have been pleased to see that the home point feature has a few uses. This is probably quite obvious to experienced players. But I did enjoy that it was something I did realize by myself instead of reading it somewhere - that sense of aha! that you get is something that is quite enjoya...

By sente I learned a few things recently in Guild Wars which could certainly enforce the feeling of Newbie rank. The heroes one can play in Nightfall campaign do have specific professions. But in the same way as players they can have secondary professions as well. However, I had not figured out how to g...

By sente Last few days has again been mainly a bit of Guild Wars play. My assasin picked his secondary profession (Ritualist) and started to head into the main story, which seems to be plagued with some gory issues, perhaps by a local branch of the Umbrella corporation?

By sente Since I reactivated my interest in Guild Wars my excursions in Rogue Isles and Paragon City have mostly been put oh hold. Instead I have started roaming the countryside in Tyria, Cantha and Elona. In a way, I get a feeling that the leveling to level 20 is a bit like Tortage in Age of Conan - an intr...
