Snowmoon.1758 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Never played GW1, have always heard others rave about how great it was.So i bought GW1 on Steam, installed it and....wow something about the graphics and the general mechanics of the game turns me off.I wish Anet uses GW2 game engine and remake GW1 so the 2 games can be connected in a smoother way.

Dami.5046 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think that wouldn't be the same. Some of the joy of it is how it looks. The only things that game need is jumping and a working trading post and sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatLiesBeneath.9018 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 No they wont. And probably cant. If they could, they probably would've done that instead of making a second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but the Gw2 engine is vastly different, the engine was reworked and tweaked. I dont think they could just port the game over, things would break.

Henry.5713 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I'd say Guildwars was too much of a niche game to make it worth the effort unless it was done as a fan project similar how Age of Empires 2 HD started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandrefalk.6823 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Sincerely hope that's not where Anet will put in their development efforts.Plus, a remade GW1 wouldn't interest me, it's going back to exactly how it looks that brings back nostalgia for me. If it was nice and shiny I'd go mental at not being able to jump, crashing into pixel borders, at times horrible NPC AI, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzarakiel.7490 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 GW2 was made using the GW1 engine so technically your wish has already been granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Going from an newer game to an older game will always seem jarring - though when I tried gw1 a year ago, I found the graphics of gw1 endearing. I think gw1 had better hair and outfit designs, and some zones were aesthetically comparable to gw2 (think pre searing ascalon, or the EOTN grothmar wardowns). The combat and mechanics was a streamlined version of Runescapes failed "evolved combat" rework, so it was kinda easy for me to pick up.Plus, there is the gw1 warthog. Charming that adorable little critter was almost worth the games price.If I had any complaint, it would be that hidden devourers are everywhere and respawn every time I leave the zone. That made travelling rather annoying. Oh, and I HATED the long panning cut-scenes of people randomly running about the story (it's especially bad in factions).

Soraclaws.5976 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I had the same feeling initially when I started playing GW1 (Prophecies specifically). But, I can't say enough once I got out of Ascalon and into the Shiverpeaks my opinion changed pretty quickly. I started getting really into the mechanics of my interrupts, and the timing of abilities, and the difficulty of the game just made it so much more engaging for me.If you're willing to give it another chance, keep playing! Maybe your opinion will change with time. Also being a huge lore buff can help motivate things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to keep an open character slot on GW just to replay pre-searing occasionally. As for the OP, I doubt they would spend the money to upgrade GW. Honestly I am surprised the server is even still up. I paid for that game how many years ago - and it is still up & free?! I just wish we could hire heroes in GW2. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
