Recently the Bonus Mission Packs promotion finally pulled thur and those that were able to ment the requirments of it got four very unique new missions each featuring a character from Guild Wars lore. Saddy if you are new to guild wars will not beable to get this right now, but I will review it anyway. Now in no real order:


Turi's Mission:
Turis Ossa is known in Guild Wars as beating Palawa Joko, but what most people on't know is that he then went on and built a portal to the Hall or Heros. This pissed off all the dead warriors that died to get there so they killed him. Since they couldn't undo the portal they decided to let people in by having them fight and taking bets on it. That is how Hero's Ascent was born.Also a fun fact is that the Ghostly Hero is in fact the dead Turi  helping people get to the HoH.

Mission: In this mission you get to play as Turi as he fight Joko in Elona. This is actually the easiest of the mission since you get a team of 8 other NPC who are all level 20. Even though its easy it is still fun as you walk up this ridge and get to see this giant battle down below. you fight your way thur monsters till you make it to Joko. You then one vs one Joko on top of a bridge just below the battle field. When you beat him you get to see a cool 300 inspired battle scene.

Togo's Mission:
Master Togo is know in factions as beginning this useless old man who cast spirit rifts on monsters as you protect him in about 9 of the 11 faction missions. Well it seems when he was younger he was ALOT more powerful and actually useful. I will not go into his back story as it is not interesting at all.

Mission:
In this mission Togo is attending the human-tengu peace confers. Then as soon as you enter the temple of the war minister, he betrayers you and sends in a bunch of assassins to kill Togo and all the Tengu.
Togo then becomes Kill Bill as you and one of the Tengu go on the hunt for the Minister of War. Along the way you meet a bunch of guards and assassin that are easy to kill, but then it gets better. You get to fight 4 bosses who are all Kill Bill inspired type fights. You kill the Minister and save the day.

*Post the last two later*

I played GW for a while. Does anyone have the newest GW expansion? Figured I'd just wait to see if GW2 looked any good to start playing this game again. I don't have anything left to do in it anymore. Except buy armor that looks cooler which doesnt matter if you just wanna kill crap like I do.  But yeah, WHATS THE NEW ONE LIKE?!

ya, EotN is the best I love it so much cause its actually hard and the dungeons are cool.

You will want to get EotN for the Hall of Monuments, that way you can earn rewards in GW2 for doing things in GW1, mainly having certain armor sets/weapons, title tracks, etc.

Bwraaa! I forgot about my review of the Bonus Mission Packs.

Anyway here is a small bit on the other two.

Saul's Mission: This mission is about Saul. He was the one who created the White Mantel during the Charr Krytan invasion. If this is based off of a movie like the first two, then I don't have a clue what movie it is. I don't think this is based off any movie myself, but more as a lore serving purpose.

You start with a small team of NPC who range in level. This mission is actually the hardest of all the missions as you can't just run over monsters like the first two. After you take out a group of charr, you must make your way thur shit loads of charr without getting aggroed. This requires timing to make sure you can get your group around each charr group. You keeping doing this till you make it to the end where you face 3 giant charr bosses. After you kill them the "Unseen Gods" apper. They give Saul their "agonizing touch"(Its a power hex skill) and you go on to fight wave after wave of charr. After you killed all the waves the "Unseen Gods" take their pay by killing off all, but the most loyal Mantel. Then to make sure no one finds out, they take Saul away and the mission ends.

Gwen's Mission: Not a whole lot to say about this mission. You start out as Gwen with a few skills that let you play dead, hind, throw a rock that you have in hand. The charr are all gathered around testing their siege weapon(the one found in EotN) on human prisoners. After you see one guy go in, give you the massive hint that you have to throw a rock at a plier to make it fall on the siege weapon, he gets blown up and they send Gwen in. You run around trying not to get hit and then do the said hint. After that the charr get angry and run after Gwen. You then have to run into the tunnel and lock the door preventing the charr from killing you. You run around a tunnel gathering mesmer skills and watching ghost humans fight ghost charr till you get all the skills and make it to the end. When you make it to the end you then run around using all the mesmer skills to not get killed by the charr till you find the vanguard and the mission ends.

Yknow, you should probably give the game another chance, they've added PvP rewards, balanced the game quite a bit, etc.

and yeah, Wintersday FTMFW!!!

The thing is... I'm not a big PVP person.  I really fell in love with the PVE but thier just wasn't enough to do. WoW was good for like 3 weeks but every quest is the same...

I'm personally waiting for GW2.  Though I might make another char... I never created a paragon primary.

My Warrior, Assasin, Archer, Dervish, and Necromancer have EVERY armor, I think the Necro may be missing just one from EoTN though.

I think having every armor in the game would be extremely hard to do and overall not worth it, so I don't believe you sadly.

Don't bother, theHunter's definition of every is crap, he said he did everything in Mass Effect but in reality obviously didn't given his playtime.

and yeah, getting every armor in the game would be the dumbest thing i've ever heard, why did you keep crappy AL8 Ascalon armor or whatever, and more importantly where do you find space for 725 peices of armor? (and 725 is assuming you only took 1 set of each individual type of armor, ie: Charr Hide for Prophecies, in reality if you had every set of armor for each of those classes you'd have some 2000+ armor peices.)

Every basically means "all Elites, Obsidian, and Eotn".  If it was anyone else who played the game they woulda know what I meant. Do I have to spell everything out now or will you continue havinf your id 10 t error?

No, every means every armor.

And Obsidian/EotN IS elite armor.

So lemme get this straight:

You have all of the following:

That is all the elite armors for the classes you listed, you said EVERY, every means EVERY SINGLE ONE. If not, then don't use the word every, ok?

Have you got God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals yet?

EDIT: the problem is when you use the word every, you use it in ridiculous situations. If you're going to say every it should mean its english definition not some weird definition where you cut out half the armors, or half the content of a game for some WEIRD reason. Like you can say "I've gotten 1 of every Elite Armor in the game" THAT WORKS, or "I've done every main objective in the game" THAT works, but saying you've done "everything in the game" and then getting pissy when someone calls you out on not doing that is silly when you're using some definition of every that no one else knows.

I've had sex with every girl in the world.
"lol no you haven't"
yes i did but only the ugly ones!!!!!!



EDIT #2:

Oh yeah, and I am working on God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals, I am pretty close got 28/30 titles maxed, unfortunately I saved the 2 longest titles to max for last...I don't have any elite armors cause elite armors are retarded. Normal shit works just fine kthnx.

<---will be only GWAMM with normal armor.

So you spent over a billion + gold, on buying armor that does nothing for you.

....

And then spent USD to buy character slots to mule all the inventory peices for all those armors, cause theres no other way you'd have room for them.

...

and you got GWAMM tho I am just assuming you're using all wrong again and mean all PvE titles, cause gl trying to max 99% of the PvP ones right now <.<

Meh, handsome lamb I would just let it go. He is clearly telling lies just to stir the hive.

Some of the elite armors are actaully nice so its not wrong to have one or two sets. I have 4 sets on my Ele, Elite pyromancer, Luxon, Ancient, and Dwarven. Along with a cool pair of Dragon gloves. Right now I am also working on my destroyer gloves.

They are nice but they do nothing for you.

I'll buy them once I get GWAMM, cause GWAMM will do more for me than the elite armor will! (here's to hoping that GWAMM gives you the ability to summon a fucking dragon or something.)

Godddddd, Wisdom is the worst title in the world, seriously.

EDIT:
73 armor sets x 5 slots = 365 inventory slots.

80 slots in storage
45 slots per inventory

Assuming he filled his storage full with armor peices, it would take 6.3 characters of inventory space to fit all those armor peices in. Which means you'd have 7 characters dedicated to holding armor.

Um...yay?

EDIT #2:

Ancient Elementalist?

ewwwwww

unless if you're a male ele.

Female Ancient Elementalist is like, the ugliest armor ever imo. :/

I am a male ele. Also GWAMM gives you nothing, but the pretty title. I know of some people that have it. Right now the only extra thing you get for the title max title is the rainbow phoenix (which is the biggest pet in the game when it make it to lvl20) when you get PKM.
