[Dr@g0nic]

Thanx alot for that LilDeath, I don't know how I could've missed that thread.

I read the whole thing and learned alot nogal....
now im even more exited to get it

 

[Trip]

Thanx alot for that Friday.

I think it'll be best for me to get all three...
Starting with prophecies.

can you please E-Mail your in game name at exaviag@yahoo.com incase i forget

I'll be looking out for you when i get GW, don't know when but i hope its soon

Best idea there Fire some of the best elites in the game so far IMO are in Prohecies.

 

[Dr@g0nic]

Yeah, but alot of people advised me to rather wait for nightfall.

now im really fuse

 

[lilDeath]

I am not one of those people...
I recommend getting all 3, start with Factions, do Nightfall then go to Prophecies

Already saw some Dervishes and Paragons running around in Sanctum Cay.

 

[Trip]

ye, i'm gonna get cracking with my dervish very soon... they have some very wicked elite skills but gonna finish nightfall with my monk 1st, allready a sunspear general lol

 

[Dr@g0nic]

Damn this is getting to me now...
Everybody has a different opinion. First I decided to get all three, starting with profecies... people advised to get nightfall rather coz it has everything the other two has (except the storyline) and then I made up my mind and decided to rather get nightfall (come to think, thats the only one i can get in a store).

But now its back to square one...
I can't believe Im struggling like this..just to get a game

 

[Trip]

Get Nightfall 1st, the reason is this. I have the Nightfall DVD, and the data archive on the disc is about 2.7 GB. This is fairly close to what it is at the moment, meaning you would spend less time downloading updates for the game.

Also, you can just purchase a key for factions or prophecies online from plaync.com at a later stage.

Hope this helps

 

[Dr@g0nic]

Just a key?

So if i get nightfall then afterwards i just purchase a key and then i can play using nightfalls files?

 

[Trip]

yes, Nightfall includes all content from the other 2 chapters, so buying a key unlocks it for you

 

[Dr@g0nic]

Ok cool then im back with the idea of goin for nightfall.

Im on that site you gave me now, can you tell me where do i find that key? (just for future reference, for when i wanna purchase)

 

[Trip]

just create a plaync master account, there should be instructions

When you get Nightfall, you can link it to this account - If you do, you will be able to purchase keys in game in the online GW store

 

[Dr@g0nic]

So do I require to have the game first?

 

[Trip]

So do I require to have the game first?

not really, you can link the game to your account later on. by adding its access key.

 

[lilDeath]

If you want to get the latest content for whatever reason, which contains all the chapters, then yes, get Nightfall, FIRST.
Then buy the others with whatever means there are, online from plaync, instore from ingame or from a shop shelf.
Same difference really, it all just depends how much you wanna spend and how long you wanna wait.
All the online versions are more expensive (euros vs dollars vs rand ) than what you get in a store or buy locally.
An online STANDARD edition can easily cost the same as a local COLLECTOR's edition.

Hopefully you will get enough time to play Nightfall and then go back and experience Factions and Prophecies in all their splendour

You create a master login on www.plaync.com. This account is what you will use to login to Guild Wars with and your password. On this master account login screen (first screen after launching Guild Wars) you can add as many access keys you want, but only one per Guild Wars chapter. For instance, a Factions standard key will overwrite a previously added Factions Collector's edition key.
Adding the keys in this manner ensures you can travel between the 3 different continents.

BTW, you don't have to do the master account creation online (through the plaync website), you will get prompted when the game installs from a CD/DVD, if you bought a local version (not online). In fact, just downloading the gwsetup file (from Guild Wars website for instance @ http://www.guildwars.com/support/downloadclient/), will ask this as well.

Choices are yours to be made.

 

[Dr@g0nic]

Thanx alot to everyone who made their contribute in helping me decide.
So Nightfall its is...as soon as i get R299 (thats the price at Toys R Us, da only retailer that has it here)

And I already created my account, so thats done too.

I just hope now that our crap internet connection that keeps diconnecting, not to mention freakin slow, don't fail me (coz i see nightfall recommends a broadband)

 

[Trip]

Great to hear it... you are gonna really enjoy this game.. btw kiss most of your social life goodbye


kidding but this game is really addictive

Gratz dude, Welcome to our universe

I must say, it does look like Nightfall is more bandwidth intensive than the previous 2 chapters. Some towns generates as high thruput as 5-8k per second. This is way above the Factions and Prophecies towns which never went above 2k.

 

[Dr@g0nic]

I use Edge to play GW... It honestly doesn’t chow your airtime. The thing is when there is an update. Some updates can be as big as 200 MB so yes you could use your GPRS/Edge to play but when doing an update use 56k instead or you can use CSD via your cell phone but the transfer rate is a bit slow....

Hope that answers your question.

digging out the past LOL
But I need help man..
So I have a Nokia N90 it has EDGE capabilities, but i need to know..is it on already or do I have to get the settings from the service provider?

 

[lilDeath]

Will have to get settings for connecting to the different services, like wap, edge, gprs, etc. and then set which profile to use. Nokia manual should have something too...
If it is Vodacom, go to vodacom4me (hope it works... ) and send it to your phone or phone the call centre, 111 (from vodacom phone)

 

[Dr@g0nic]

thanx and will i be able to switch between 3g and edge? coz i heard both have their advantages and disadvantages.
