Guild Wars grouping topic

[Zippyy]

Ok, granted I've only played for about 6 hours and solo and only started the post-attack part of the game tonight, but is it me or does this game remind anyone of Dungeon Siege (Thecla?).... nice eye candy and general suckege? Luckily I have Rome Total War to fall back on, but jeez what a boring game, bleh.

I can definitely agree with the Dungeon Siege comparison. However, both Dungeon Siege and GW can be extremely fun under the right conditions. My roommate also plays GW, and I have found it is much, much more fun to duo missions with him (two ranger/necros are surprisingly powerful and resilient) than it is to solo with or without henchmen.

The same went for Dungeon Siege, in my experience. Playing it with friends at a LAN party was a great deal more fun than the single player campaign. Granted, LAN parties increase the enjoyment factor of anything tenfold.

Try partying with some friends, or hook up with the RB/Lurker guild. I also find short bouts of PvP to be a welcome break from solo tedium. The real fun (for me) in GW comes from finally beating difficult missions with a group of friends, and from winning PvP matchups with said group.

Hope this helps. :)

By the way, does anyone know if it is possible to duel another player? I have not found a 1v1 yet, and I have been playing in every beta and preview event since it all started during E3.
