What is your list of cool features in Guild Wars? This includes from any of the 3 chapters and any updates to date. We have seen enough negativity in the forums these days. Let's tell the DeVs the things that we are appreciative of.






Will post my list as the thread developes.

There is only one thing about guild wars that I would deem cool and that is Guild Wars in its entirety, everything about it the bits I hate the bits I love the bits and pieces that dont quite fit into those two. Oh yeah and this aswell IT ISN'T WoW.

Does no monthly fee count? Other than that I love heroes, guild halls, and more storage (FTW)!

The small details are great... I mean you are going to somewhere and find a cat on the ground. I also like the no monthly fees and the PVP system. And the storage... And the festivals... Everything!

Drawing on the minimap. Was probably a bitch to implement properly, but it's so intuitive, using it is second nature.

Heroes and henchmen. Being able to form a group using AI characters and actually play most of the game's content without a worry is something we all take far too much for granted.

World changing depending on your actions. Titan quests for example. This needs to be used sooooo much more! Nothing funnier than spoiling the fun of ToA / Sanctum Cay runners by joining their group whilst having Defend North Kryta active (please note, I only did this once by accident, I do not actually promote doing this!).

Targetting controls. Other similar games feel stunted after playing GW.

It's these little technical marvels that make GW stand out from the crowd for me.

No monthly fee

Tons of profession / skill combinations

Minimap - i love it way it directs you to where you need to go, and not leaving you wandering round for hours

+ much more that i cant be bothered to type =)

Anets focus on Skill vs Grind (when compared to other games, it truly is) \

No Monthly fee

The Magic the gathering / skill collecting but 8 limited skill use in explore/mission

Instance / Persistent zone system so no monster camping, etc.

The GuildWars game engine - top notch looking graphics for the hardware specs, the ability to add DX9, DS3D, EAX after the game released. Able to play on dial-up. The programing team is top notch.

The creative team for the imagination on the design / ideas that make the foundation for the style.

and a lot more...

Very good story(s).
Having only 8 skill slots so not everyone is using the same things like some other games.
Events...this game has the best any game has to offer.
Balance in classes for both pvp and pve.
much more...

For me its ability to form a guild and not ONLY to have idiotic annoying whisper based friends lists.

Its so nice to unite under the same banner

Offcourse what would you expect from a game named " Guild Wars " lol haha.


I also like the title system.. Keeps me interested.. always gives me something to do, instead of watching the screen while standing in Bergen hot springs :P

i also like the pvp system allthough im mostly a pve players!
