This here is the thread for new (or old) players of Guild Wars to ask those burning questions.

Don't be shy ... we don't bite.

Not much ... anyways :D

Cap usage
Line Speed
Noob Tips
Etc
 
Sheesh ... you gotta start with the technical questions, don't you *bite* :p

Cap usage varies depending on how busy the servers are - on weekends I generally find that I use between 15 - 25 MB/hr ... this isn't a hard and fast figure, so don't quote me on that :)

There is usually one update per week ... not much more than a few hundred kb's at a time.

With regards to line speed - I've seen people play on 384 ADSL lines with few issues - I'm with Vodacom ... so it depends on my signal. Can't vouch for the fixed line guys - but my average latency hovers between 400 - 800ms - completely playable.

For noob tips ... be specific :p
 
Mephisto ... you only see other people in towns and outposts ... every time you step into the wild - you're on your own (or group at least)

I used to play it on dialup - so as per line speed & cap - you do the math.
 
I find Guild Wars uses around 5-10Mb/hour of normal play. Line speed won't be a problem...I played on 56K for a year back when I first got it. Updates are tiny...like usually less than a meg, so you won't have a problem there either.

If you plan on getting it, the Complete Collection is the way to go. Excellent value-for-money.
 
They are indeed :D

Would be nice if you could choose which to create instead of it creating them all when you type /bonus ><

Oh well, free stuff is free stuff!
 
See, 90% of why wonderings already answered :D Methinks I have to finaly commit and get this within the next month or so ........ and yeah, I was eyeing that Complete Collection anyway ;)

Click to expand...

Yeah, I end up trashing the other 6 items for which ever class I make :o

I wonder which of my characters can receive birthday presents now...I really really really want an mini Aatxe :(
 
I want to get factions ... I want to get me a ninja ... and i WANT a bloody fire imp! :mad:

Mephisto: There are 3 standalone campaigns + 1 expansion pack

1) Prophecies:

Classes: Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer, Monk

2) Factions:

Classes: Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer, Monk + Ritualist & Assassin

3) Nightfall:

Classes: Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer, Monk + Dervish & Paragorn

Expansion: Guild Wars - Eye of the North (GWEN)

You tie all 3 + 1 to your one account, but you can play any of the 3 on their own without owning the others...Later on you can take a ferry across from one to the next. As each is essentially a continent on it's own, with starting areas, end game, etc.
 
Rather do yourself a favour and find someone with an updated client, otherwise you'll be spending a lot of time waiting for updates to download.
