[Guild Wars Complete Collection?]

Once again I want to thank everyone for their input. It all helped to make up my mind for me. :) Stay safe all!

[Guild Wars Complete Collection?]

Thanks folks. I really appreciate the feedback. Enough said that I am going ahead with buying it. WoW has pretty much lost my attention for some time (as a second choice game). Eq2 I stopped playing about a year or so ago. Not because I didn't enjoy the game, more because I always felt it played more like a non-internet console game. Hard to explain. LoTRo is still a great game but GW2 still ranks much higher for me. GW sounds as though it will be a better choice for this old fart. :) Thanks again.

@Randulf.7614 said:It isn’t essential, but for its time it was unbeatable as a game. It has aged pretty badly, but the stories - whilst basic- are largely better than the mess GW2 has presented.

It does require time investment though so that will dictate whether you will want to get it.

Thanks. Time is no real consideration at my age. It's pretty much all I have. :)

Hi all and sorry if this is beyond the scope of this forum. I've been thinking of getting Guild Wars as it is such a small investment. I've only been playing GW2 for about 9 months, but I also play for an obscene number of hours each day (old, long retired, and have played online games from when they were text based and on BBS'), so I was wondering if you, the game veterans, think I would be missing out on a lot of quality gaming if I simply passed over Guild Wars? Anyway, I apologize in advance for an unusual question. If it's not appropriate for this forum, feel free to delete it. Thanks

You are absolutely correct. Thanks.I'll get a handle on things eventually. It's all good anyway. Love the game already.

Thanks and I apologize for my lack of game savvy. I did realize after more time in the area that I was just not observing the environment very close. What was happening was a cloud of poison, which was being emitted from one of the huge plants that spawn during a battle. I wasn't able to get out of the immediate area in time. Again, my newby-ness. :) You are correct though, about the lower levels being a good idea. I can already tell that this is a game I will be staying with for years (if I live that long. I'm old with lots of health issues. ;) to come. Thanks for the reply. :)

I've tried asking this in /MAP chat, but no response. I've only been playing GW2 for a few days so I'm still quite uninformed. I just tried using the 80 boost on my necromancer to see how he does at high level and encountered a very frustrating/confusing issue. The combat chat window displays the message, You poison yourself for 1900 using [Noxious Fumes], that repeats over and over until I die and it says it can't be removed. How and why is this happening? I know I must be doing something very wrong but I have no idea what that might be. Can anyone help me with this problem?
