Whats your opinion on guild wars?

Post by CodeOfSilence »

I was told guild wars is better than silkroad, even tho you pay $20 to buy it, you dont have to pay to get stuff like a monthly fee or whatever something like that like you do on SRO for pets and stuff. Is this game any good? i checked it and the graphics are way better, characters too.

I play it as a break from SR its a good game but its laking in the interaction os SR and you cant grind that much in it either. Still like the fact that you can log in WHEN EVER YOU WANT :shock: :shock: :shock:

SRO, is only abou 22% complete id say

When we get the needed things for Chines we will hit 30
Then when we get Euro, we wil get the other 30 and hit 60%

Then who know... all i know is when we have all 3 Chinese, Euro and Islam we will only have 90%

The remaining 10 will come from other kinda patches

I think they're both really good games.

Been playing Guild Wars since it came out and it still doesn't bore me. :)

Guild Wars bring you straight to the action of the game. got bored of it

While sro you have to wait till lvl 20 to trade, hunter, thief. During this time you could learn more about the game, if it's your first time.

My opinion is that Guild Wars kicks ass and Silkroad sucks majorly.

Silkroad = Endless grind.

Guild Wars = Quest driven storyline, and balanced pvp.

I wouldn't describe it as better or worse, as the design ethos is completely different in both games. Silkroad online is far more traditional, whereas GW can barely be called a proper mmorpg, fine game though it is. But overall, I would say that as far as Silkroad is concerned I enjoy the community and diversity, whereas for GW I enjoy (issue of pricing aside as silkroad is more or less free as is GW after you buy it once) a good story, funny quests (others may disagree) and over 1000 skills.

The thing with Guild Wars pvp is that it takes strategy to win, not the button mashing, pot warring kind of pvp in Silkroad. You only get to choose 8 skills out of hundreds to use. There are no such things as potions so healing skills and healers are actually necassary. The weapons and equipment used are almost always equal in power among people. There are no super Sosun 64+9 I automatically pwn kinds of weapons. This is why I find GW pvp to be a lot more challenging and enjoyable than SRO.

Guild wars: Updating constantly
There's a bug? It gets fixed fast.
A move screws up the balance of the game? They fix it fast.
Hundreds of quests (my ele has about 50 side quests I can choose from)
Lots of user titles you can get for doing certain things.

SRO: Grind fest
Solo
Few quests
Major suckage.
