Guild Wars...

Hi All,

I have just purchased Guild Wars (should arrive tomorrow from Amazon) on advice of one of my mates. Just wondered if there are any other Guild Wars players out there ?

I happen to be addicted to Guild Wars (just don't seem to have enough time to play).

Can someone let me know if guild wars would run on high settings for my setup? (see my sig below). I'm planning to get this game also. Thanks

Its a good game, can really be played fine on any type of connection.... I lost interest in it after a couple months

I play too.

Yeah, it'll run on high settings, probably at native resolution, on the z70va. I have a somewhat older setup, and it runs at near-max settings for me.

eMachines M6811 | Athlon 64 3400+ | Radeon 9600 64MB | 1.25GB PC2700 RAM | 80gb 4200RPM

Hey led

I have been playing with a z70va exact same specs as yours except with 2GB RAM and on high settings. I also have my CPU undervolted and GPU overclocked. My CPU runs about 10C less than it did before, and this is not at max undervolting potential.

Shandy,

I have been playing lately char name same as logon here...

I haven't played in a few weeks. Really messed up work schedule. I like the game a lot though. It can be frustrating if you try playing with ome of the jackasses that are there though.

I haven't been playing as much as I would like, and I know what you mean by the jackasses (I call em asshats, but it amounts to the same thing). Problem is you will run into anyone meeting the criteria of jackass/asshat playing any online game. Then nice thing is if you are lucky to get into a guild that has people who you like to play with and are willing to help out other guild members. When I am playing I spend half my time helping out new guildmates (as I am a officer of my guild) getting used to the game and the idea of working with other people. I am also well known in my guild for giving out awsome items to new guildmates as I have 2 characters that have pretty much finished the game (just have some main bonus missions and little side quests to do for total completion). Anyway I love the game and wish I had more time to play.

Excellent game. I highly recommend it. I call it World of Warcraft "Lite" and there's a lot to be said for it in that respect. Faster respawning. HIGHLY solo-able. I made it to max level (20) totally solo (using AI henchmen of course), without the need for bonehead grouping. I haven't made it to all areas or quests by a lonnnnng shot, and since they get much more difficult, human grouping will be needed to significantly progress further. As most experience with ANY online game, 2 of the 3 or 4 groups I've tried since maxing were disappointing. The no-fee in GW vs. fee in WoW has been beaten to death in another thread here, but it's a nicety to not have a monthly fee sitting there when you want to take a long sabbatical. As with WoW, I personally find that the chase is better than the catch, i.e. once you max level a lot of the "shine" is off the game, even though there are more quests, weapons, and loot to be acquired. Anyhoo, go for it, it's lots of fun.
