The atmosphere and art style was nice, but the abilities were underpowered and so was the engine, despite it being a co-op mmorpg supporting only 8 players in an instance that tried to be against grinding.

They handled Joko really poorly in PoF. Vabbi is better under his rule and he's not really evil but for some reason the protagonist really hates him. You're even given the option to side with him in the beginning but the next instance you're immediately against him. It'd be better if they didn't give me the choice in the first place.
That and the overly large maps making it difficult to find other players to play with made me refund it. The maps were pretty but it just wasn't fun. I ended up using the money to get my friend the trilogy pack.

Guild Wars has some of the most powerful spells I've seen in a game. A lot of them, like Panic and Protective Spirit and Mark of Pain and so on, would be considered completely broken in most other games. But Guild Wars makes them work.
>and so was the engine
Guild Wars 1 had one of the most impressive engines in the gaming industry to date. In over ten years, Guild Wars had a grand total of around 26 hours downtime, most of it related to physical datacenter relocation. Patches were able to be shipped out while keeping servers live and smoothly switching over to the new game version. I am still amazed by how well it runs and how good the netcode is, to be honest.
>only 8 players
That's why Guild Wars was able to have such deep and well-connected combat. If there were more players in an instance it'd turn into a spammy blobathon like other, lesser MMOs.
>private servers when
Never. Because GW was made by a pack of programming geniuses and they never exposed server-side software that would allow private servers.
>>13807672
Warriors have never been obsolete, even after all the dervish buffs. VoS and 100B are still basically equivalent, and Dervish still can't do the Warrior's AoE quarterknocking via ES. What Dervish can do is be more "tanky" while still dealing damage, which makes it work well in the hands of bad players who think melee's job is being a "tank" - that way, when they play Dervish, they'll still be dealing damage while trying to "tank" whereas with the Warrior, a "tank" build won't deal any damage, you have to specifically build for damage. This makes bad players think Dervish is better, because they run "tank" builds for both professions, which hamstrings the Warrior while leaving the Dervish effective. Warrior is not supposed to be built as a "tank", it is an offensive damage dealer with some shutdown capabilities. For good players, the Warrior has always been one of the most effective professions in the game, and still is.

When HoT came along "everybody" complained that the maps were too crowded and the metas were cramping individual playstyles. Naturally, this meant the game was dying.
Now PoF is the diametric opposite of HoT with larger and open maps, less metas but more secrets and collectibles, and "everybody" has nothing to do and there's no incentive to play so the game is dying for sure this time. Never mind the fact that shittons of gems were bought the moment they introduced the mount skin lootbox, once again confirming there is little for Anet to fear as long as there's Fashion Wars 2 tumblrfags.

That's not because of the skills. That's because Prophecies was released and balanced for a community that had no idea how to play. Half the players played mending w/mo and the other half played E/Mo who demanded the party wait 60s between fights so Meteor Shower could recharge.

It's a given that a player base becomes more proficient with time, but it's not really what would make someone new think the difficulty is non-existent.
The game has had a ridiculous amount of power creep over the years, starting from Prophecies' attempts at balance, Factions' duplication of skills (Touch Rangers), Nightfall's insane power spike and Eye of the North's massive buffs to professions that had fallen by the wayside due to not keeping up.
The henchmen back then were also atrociously bad, you could make the argument that their feeble contributions were cancelled out by their fine-tuned desire to aggro all_the_shit at the most inopportune moment.
Hard Mode might as well be what Normal was back then. If you want to play something challenging for 4-players, try Winds of Change on Hard.

LoL has more powerful abilities than GW1 and LoL is SHIT.
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_assassin_skills
There's severely overpowered abilities like Sin's Promise which resets the cooldown of every spell/skill and you're not limited to assassin only spells/skills, like it would be normal.
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_Promise
Then you have duplicate skills which do the same thing, but one does it far better than the other.
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Shattering_Assault
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Assault_Enchantments
Then you have completely useless skills that serve no purpose.
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Aura_of_Displacement
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Shadow_Meld
Sadly you sometimes get stuck with skills like assault enchantments which need a different approach/functionality in order to be properly useful.
Sin's Remedy provides a great effect, but has a horrible condition. Chain-attacking targets with the sin is unfeasible and conditions can often keep you from landing a hit. It would be far more functionable to remove a condition every time you get healed or for every pip of health you have or remove 3 conditions for every enchantment you cast on yourself.
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_Remedy
The way a dagger sin works is handicapped. You have 3 types of attack and you need to connect-order them correctly. But you don't get any bonuses for painstakingly chaining these attacks which always get interrupted. While no other class requires you to chain together 3 different types of attacks: lead, off-hand, dual. Sin should have used adrenaline like the warrior or used the ranger's primary passive attribute which reduces energy costs.
The sin's attacks aren't instant either, so you can easily get interrupted or have a warrior or ranger deal 300+ damage in under 1 second, while you do the same in 6-10 seconds.
All of the sin's energy management, health buffs, skill resets work based if he lands to constantly hit his target. Without favoring swapping enemies.

Then there's well-intentioned abilities like this one which offers you a unique stat only the dagger mastery attribute can give you "double strike".
The sad part about about double strike is that there's no ability that uses it. DS is simply extra damage for the sake of it. And sadly the daggers 7-17 dmg is simply too weak to ever be useful in combat beyond playing with the combat dummy.
The few attack abilities that activate during a dual attack cannot use a basic attack, they need a skill in the dual category.
I think originally this ability was in fact supposed to turn all your attack skills into dual attacks before the dev team realized they were too dumb to balance it properly and gave up, turning it into another very watered down elite.

How is it important in an MMO? All it really does is let you pass over minor terrain obstacles instead of going around them.

You are in a thread about an MMO that has a large number of jumping puzzles and challenges. Many have collectibles such as skins or crafting pieces.

I'm still playing. It's my go to 'lazy' game, something that doesn't take a lot of effort.
I still enjoy it, but I won't pretend it's a flawless game. The story of Path of Fire alone causes me deep pain and the rewards are fucked right now. It's not a bad lazy game though.

I've been playing again lately, capped the last 20 Elonian elite skills I needed yesterday.
Apparently the bots and gold sellers are the only thing keeping the economy afloat these days. That said, there're still a fair few players online.

Take the plunge anon and start from Prophecies if you want to experience the game as close to how it was, or start from Nightfall if you want to solely aim for HoM rewards.

The Sin is the most limited class in the game, but if you admit to playing ASSFAGGOTs then your opinion is invalid in the first place.

You can match item types to certain attacks, and IIRC you only get +7 vs. x for certain items (shields)

That was around Factions' release (2006), the character is long dead. Nowadays I'd just load seven heroes on normal and watch the game play itself. That said, sure, I'll play. Only really had festive titles left to do for GWAMM but I wouldn't mind messing about in missions or whatever.

Who would your rather enchant? The class that already has several quality +dmg bonuses in their arsenal? and has a longer range than an elementalist? and cannot get interrupted?
Or the skinny virgin assassin who's melee, who can barely run around on its stick legs trying to deal damage to everyone without getting interrupted.

You'll get objectively better returns putting damage boosting skills onto the assassin due to more frequent attacks. You seem not to understand that more damage is better.

Ranger was fucking wrecked by the last round of balance patches before they stopped updating the game, and it never recovered. Probably one of the worst classes all around, PvP and PvE.

Fun fact about the cripple club dykes, they were the only NPCs in the entire game who you couldn't skip dialogue or cutscenes if they were in.
On a different note there was this attention whoring bitch who would steal other builds guides and tips from other site she even stole from the /vg/ general and would claim them as her own given the fact she has a cunt she immediately got a following of thirsty whiteknights to defend her even anet gave her very special treatment because she was sucking their cocks, literally, they would feed her info for upcoming events and what materials were going to be needed so her guild of white knights would buy them cheap off the market then once the update hit flood them back with drastically inflated prices, she single handedly destroyed the in game economy and what did anet do to her gave her a fucking NPC in her honour, I quit before the first expansion came out so I don't know if it has recovered since then though, she also sold gold for cash but anet protected her and banned anyone who dared bring it up.
And lets not forget the time people found a way to farm some material, I think it was cloth, they weren't cheating they were getting them off mob drops but anet got butthurt but were so incompetent they don't know how to issue individual bans in their own game so just decided to ban everyone who was on that map at the time.
God I hate Arena net.

Let's not forget how that turbo autist Kripp found an exploit to make easy gold by buying karma items and reselling them, so instead of fixing the issue they just completely neutered karma as a currency after the damage was done.

i fell for the gw2 meme because of a friend who used to play gw1. he stopped playing the game after 2 weeks or so. i played for a good month or two and stopped because it was a shit game with no substance and shit pvp. you could even tell back then, without proper experience that something was off with it. when SJWs infect things you can just "smell" it.

I didn't know that they had such troubles with the economy. Maybe because I didn't give a shit about it. I heard they Anet has employed a economist for regulating the market. In contrary to Underworld, he couldn't stop mudflation, As you can see at the example of these items neat Item I own and these two Minis. The Minis I managed to scrooge together are pretty much worthless

Not that it had bothered me, because I left the game as the richest man in the Guild , because I didn't fell for Fractals of Autism.Seriously. This all happened long before the first expansion came out. I just couldn't stand the living story and its Burger King Kids Club that had jump in for the original cast, because Felicia Day demanded way too much money for dubbing Zoija again. Not to mention expansion's lame additions to the game I have listed in the thread about it back. Back to Guild Wars 1, that is objectively a much better game. Also still a thing until the hacks at Anet break it or Nexom pulls the plug.

Anet can only benefit from having a shit economy. Most gem sales are probably for materials rather than cosmetics because cosmetics only need to be bought once, but you'll usually need a lot of materials if you're going after best in slot stuff. They fucked the drop rates for hardened leather which caused the prices to skyrocket. Mystic coins are usually around 1 gold too, even after PoF added in more ways to get them.
I'm kinda surprised they haven't gone full kike and made more things harder to get to inflate the prices and get more gems to gold exchanges done.

If you're going to link Anet degenerates, at least link someone who isn't competent like the disgusting (openly bi and married with children) pig who goes everywhere barefoot. The guy you posted is singlehandedly responsible for the entirety of SAB. Anet is full of insane people but they do their jobs in the end, especially when it comes to art direction. HoT's best soundtrack was made by a tranny of all things.

That's already taken care of by the RNG fountain and account binding shit.I gave GW2 another twirl, because I have forgotten what valuable items I own in contrary to my Anet account password. If it weren't for that THOT and other botting niggers, the economy would still in the iron grip of artificially scarce lodestones, Mystic coins and event items materials.I bet most gem store comes comes from people buying heir gear for Fractals of the Spergs. Speaking of: Remember how that bad Joke was supposed to replace elite regions ? It is actually the ideal replacement for Anguish Gemstones farming, one of the most pointless activities in GW1.

Raids seemed like the only decent attempt at elite content, but the requirement for 10 people makes them more difficult to get into than to play. From what I've played the bosses was okay, but they all kind of have that same GW2 boss design of AoE everywhere because the AI just can't keep up with players. The rewards are pretty much nothing except overly flashy prestige armor, which doesn't even look nice.
Haven't seen a raid in a while, though. I wonder if they just decided to drop them.
