Hii yall, I dont no much about Guild Wars and I was thinking of playing it, I have a few questions.

 

1. Are the quests any good? OR are they the kind when u just going around killing things?

2. IS the pvp fair? Like can a lvl 70 com and attack a lvl 30.

3. Does it lag alot?

4. IS there alot of botters ?

5. And is there  more to it then just grinding?

 

Your info would be very appreciated

Thank you

You can start PVP from level 1 by going to random arena's in the big cities. I've never had lag except one evening when it was laggy the evening, but compared to regular MMO's like WoW and LOTRO (which are considered polished and relativly lag-free) there is no lag.

I've never seen a gold selling advert, also never seen or heard about bots, but i suppose they exist (though botting must be more complex since monsters don't respawn, so those bots would have to be really complex, i think the person above me is just confused with regular player farmers to be honest but maybe im wrong here.

An important difference of course is that even if there are bots, they wont damage you in any way. They dont steal your mobs (as everything is instanced), they dont ruin any economy, they have no impact on either PVE or PVP. That's different in normal MMO's where bots can ruin an entire zone.

1. Yes, the quest are good.

2. Totally fair. Max level is 20 and they aren't allowed to participate in the lower arenas.

3. Depends on who you ask. I pretty much don't get it unless something is wrong with the servers. There have been times when it was unplayable for some people because of network issues.

4. Yes, but only in certain areas and they are pretty easy to point out.

5. 99% of the grind in GW is completely optional. In Nightfall you have to eventually have obtain a certain amount of Sunspear points and in Factions you have to get enough points for whichever faction you choose to side with. After that grind is optional. Some feel that you have to have higher points, and though it makes some places easier,  you aren't restricted from them if you don't have the points.

I'd say it depends a little on the gear. For instance, infused armor stuffed with runes makes a significant difference to defense. But the fact that infusion runs are pretty common, and that most major runes are relatively cheap makes it easy for players to be at par with the best of them, gear-wise.

4. no botters

At least not obviously, because the explorable areas are instanced.

The quests are good and you hardly ever get lost on one.


2. IS the pvp fair? Like can a lvl 70 com and attack a lvl 30.
Max level 20 so probs there BUT people often come up with a super uber l33t team build which owns everyone else until everyone starts using it and pvp gets boring until Anet kindly nerf the skills which make the build so versatile.


3. Does it lag alot?
The only irritating lagg is in the main outpost or when your up against 50 mobs.
4. IS there alot of botters ?
Sadly loads in PvP and some places in PvE.


5. And is there  more to it then just grinding?
It's your choice if you want high end game super expensive armor, yes, if your in it to play and have fun you certainly can with no or little grind.

One thing you will love if you get this game are the beautiful skill effects.
