Trilogy is on sale!

[Espionage724]

I was just thinking last night "I could go for some GW1". Now today it's on sale :p

https://store.steampowered.com/app/29570/Guild_Wars_Trilogy/

It also runs perfect on Linux through Proton with no effort (install and play)!

im playing this game for a week and i got 30+ hours already :) game is very good, campaning is like solo RPG but you can do this with other people if you want, then u go to pvp and group with other people for endgame content :) also game felt weird and clunky at the begining but after few hours i got used to mechanics and i feel like this game is sick in terms of arena pvp, probably best arena pvp ive played and i played everything.

there is also a lot of people even in some low level areas i see some people and they often wanna group for missions :) im only level 14 in propercies campaning tho, i got told newer campanions are better but even first one is good

Until today, there is no other game, rpg or mmo that can rival pvp segment of GW.

If i buy the Trilogy on Steam, link it to my Arenanet-account but buy EotN directly from ANet, will i be able to download and install EotN through Steam?

yes but its unnecessary. steam actually has zero connection to the gw client. all steam is doing is selling cd keys, and giving you the exact same client anet uses.

So, if I buy the trilogy here on Steam and launch the client, I can use an EotN key from elsewhere/buy via official website and when I launch my Steam version in the future the EotN expansion will download because it's linked to my ANet account that my Steam version is? Sorry that seems obvious but I just want to check.

yes... steam is selling keys for this game. that is all.

[bongerman85]

your eotn key should be entered through the client for guild wars and not through steam if you are buying elsewhere.

I have been waiting for this moment for so long.

The game feels so much different.

Bought it, playing for the first time, having a blast. Mobs are actually actively trying to kill me! Such a nice change of pace. Smacking stuff up as a Warrior is pretty satisfying. Still in the prologue tho, but there are so many quests to do, I think I'll be there for a while.

a lot of players will keep toons in pre on purpose. once you leave pre you cant go back with that character.

But if you had finished all the quests, why would you stay? Is there something to do besides the quests?

Enjoy the peaceful scenery :) But not much else, unless you particularly love chatting with other pre-Searing players or farming the same two dozen charr for years 🤷‍♂️

Pre-Searing also has a completely different market from the rest of the game, and some people make profit by ferrying valuable items from Pre to Post, but for most players there's no point of staying there.

I personally keep an alt there for the scenery, but moved my actual story character out of there as soon as I was done with all the quests.

Some people achievement hunt in Pre. Legendary Defender of Ascalon of course but also Survivor, Drunk, Sweet and Party titles can all be maxed in Pre which, account-wide titles aside, would also get you to the first Kind of a Big Deal tier. The last four are much easier to get in post-Searing but it's the prestige of having them in Pre why people want the titles, particularly Survivor. I've thought about going for Survivor myself there but I don't think I could stomach the grind.

I can respect the scenery. Locations do look very pastoral. Very distinct look and design. They did amazing job with what they had tech-wise.

I think I'll skip all that and just play the game normally :D Managed to get the resurrect skill (thank you, kind stranger), so now I feel comfortable continuing the game.

Did you get a Tapestry Shred from Gwen? That can be useful when you get to EotN. (Though you can always get it via later characters.)

Don't think so, but I am planning to finish everything I can in prologue. At least everything that's possible to finish solo anyway. I'm in no rush and every time more quests keep showing up. So I'll get there eventually, I assume.
