Ns Players Guild In Gw

echs · April 2005

Seen these guys win a few fights og PVP in Guild Wars lately...Was wondering if some members of the NS community created their own GW clan ?

Just a coincidence ?

antifreeze · April 2005

Your best bet is to get yourself on IRC, if your not already ofcourse. Once on said IRC hunt down Fam on #naturalselection. He play so damn much he should know who is playing.

semipsychotic · April 2005

I'm planning on getting Guild Wars, but I doubt that too many other NS forumgoers will do the same. They're all addicted to World of Warcraft, and those who aren't are addicted to Natural-selection. I'm currently addicted to NS, but I can always squeeze in another game. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

I'm playing GW, though I'm actually in another guild atm. :S

locallyunscene · April 2005

I didn't realize any forum goers here played GW. I've seen a lot of hate for it here and not much love. I'm still deciding whether I want to play it or not. I have a feeling a guild would make it ten times better but the RPG element is kinda lacking, which is what i really want. If I do get into it I'll look up Fam and the NS guild though.

Har_Har_the_Pirate · April 2005

im thinking about gettin it

WOW camp fest is kinda **** me off die , get body, die, get body die, res at angel, get killed by rouge at angel, log off and get on an hour later and do low lvl instances wiht your friends

Nurot · April 2005

Yeah I noticed that clan name today too and was wondering the same thing myself. Looks like someone beat me too the question <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

I've heard bad things about GW....I'll wait until Middle earth online comes out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Redford · April 2005

Yep, that's us, and that was our win with 5 people and 2 henchmen.

Don't get too attached though, since we've won a few times we earned another sigil, we are considering changing the name and opening the guild up to the general public.

theclam · April 2005

So, is Guild Wars out, or is this just part of the beta?

It is out.

R_A_C · April 2005

I've been wanting to try this game (never got to do the betas). If there is an NS guild and if I can somehow find it for cheap, then I'll definitely play it.

Geminosity · April 2005

if you saw an anti-GW post it was probably me :p

While I hope you guys have fun I'm gonna wait for the PSO:BB beta, DDO, probably middle-earth online (to see what it's like) and of course; PSU ~drools~

Spacer · April 2005

Yeah, I hope you have fun. I'm waiting for a game that you don't have to pay for every month in order to play.

HellspawnUK · April 2005

What, like Guild Wars.....

Neway, I play it.

Add Blood Jackal if u wanna chat....

To quote Tim Allen... "HUH?"

Align · April 2005

There is another [NS] guild out there actually...

It has nothing to do with Natural Selection though.

CMEast · April 2005

Soon as I can I'll be getting GW, wasn't doing too bad at the end of the beta <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Oh and the first time I reached the Deis in PVP was awesome although that was after the NS lot needed some sleep <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

You...um...don't? Its a once a month, plzkthx.

And don't say that "Well, there are the expansion set requirements to get a patch."- guess what? You can play the expansion stuff without buying the expansion, as long as someone you know gets it and you're partying together. Tahdah.

TheWizard · May 2005

Got GW over the weekend. I absolutely love it.

message Khalos Maledreg if you get an NS guild up and running.

SinSpawn · May 2005

I was wondering if GW is really worth it? If I do get it, I don't plan to buy the expansions, I prefer the 1 time payment and never more.

And hmm NS guild sounds good to me!

theclam · May 2005

For those of you who have started playing it already, I have a few questions:

1. Can you solo effectively? Are there are any missions that can be done solo?
2. Do you need a guild to have an enjoyable time or are pickup groups good enough?
3. How does PvP work? Is it always consensual, always on, regardless of consent, separated by server, or something else?
4. Are there a lot of PvP only missions? Are there a lot of PvE only missions?

Name is Gubru Higgins. Drop me a line!

Some_tall_guy1 · May 2005

Im going by the name of Moneo Noree, and I'm really enjoying the game.
I'll see about getting a guild together.

1. Yes, you can solo very well. Just grab a few henchmen(NPCs that do it what their supposed to- heal if their healers, dd if their mages, ranged attacks if their archers, tank if their fighters), and bam, you're soloing.
2. Pickup groups do great, at least for me thus far. Maybe I've just been lucky, but either way, were doing very well.
3. PvP is done in-arena. You are on a team, against another team. Being everything is instanced based- thats it. Outside its just your team against NPCs, otherwise there is no fighting, except also in the Arena for PvP.
4. I haven't played any PvP missions yet, but there are tons and tons of maps for PvP so far, yes. And there is a buttload of PvE Missions- both actual missions(which are awesome) and the overworld quests are very, VERY fun.

...this game surprised me, deep down. After the last beta for it I played, the interface was so bad it held the rest of the game back. Now its back to the status that it was the first weekend- incredible.

Redford · May 2005

Forget everything you thought about guild wars being "too easy". High level missions (crystal desert and beyond) and difficult, and need good teamwork. This is probally because while your foes level, you do not, and you must use your skills to the great effectiveness.

Probally the final frontier, in this case, is the underworld. It's a set of high level PvM zombes you can only reach by having favour with the gods for your section (winning the hall five times in a row). This is either America, Europe, or Korea at any given time. The enemies down there are brutal. We went into the warrior god's section, and we were instantly attacked and killed by a group of level 29(!) beasts that didn't like us very much. My part of the battle went like this:

You use Conjure Phantasm.
You use Phantom Pain.
-256 (This was a normal attack)
-267 Sever Artery

Death.

So if you have any misconceptions about GW being a newbie game, get rid of them, high level content is HARD.

SinSpawn · May 2005

Which character is good to start of with? I was thinking more towards maybe archer?

TheWizard · May 2005

I'm having fun with my Elementalist/Necromancer. Though you could never have guessed I would play that by my name.

Aye; That's the reason it's free. It's all hosted on whoever in the group has the fastest computer/connection.

It's the same thing Halo2, hell, even Half-life does. The master server is just the pimp, it gets people together and then counts the dough.

That said, damn you all. I'm currently in the high-level-30s dry spot in WoW, and I really don't want to pick up another RPG... But it sounds so good...

I'll grind to 40 in WoW and see how I feel then.
