Guild Wars: Eye of the North

I have two accounts and all expansions of Guild Wars so I guess that qualifies me as an addict lol.
EotN - The first mission reminded me fondly of "Defend the Wall" as in great fun and run like a bunny. Jeremy Soul once again did an awesome job on the musical score. And as usual the graphics are top rate.

The concept of titles that can lead to title grinding is a bit daunting but if it is done within the context of finishing the missions and quests it won't be bad.

Dungeons are a place where all those skills learned over the years will be needed. At the moment I personally am still stuck on one of them.

Overall it's a well done job for an expansion and should lead nicely into Guild Wars 2. It was great to finally find out what happened to those that stayed behind in Ascalon and the sweet revenge on the Charr didn't hurt either.

Sure there are aspects that could be changed but overall it's near perfect and anyone who enjoys mmo's should enjoy this add on. I would guess most who buy this already have GW so you don't need a run down of Factions and Nightfall.

GW is really getting to the top

Well I love this game and Guild Wars just keeps getting better. I like how it is different from the standard MMORPG like World of Warcraft. It provides a gameplay in which you can play for and hour or so and the stop, take a break or come back to it tomorrow. It keeps the game interesting and stops you from having your soul sucked away from constant gameplay.

Awesome Game!

This Expansion Pack really covers all the loose strings from the Prophecies campaign. It explains what happened to Gwen, the little girl in pre-searing, as well as what happened with the war against the Charr. It unlocks many of the areas on the map, allowing your to explore new areas you couldn't before.

I recommend this game to those who have completed the Prophecies campaign.

Great Game

If you enjoy gaming this is a great game. You can play for hours and hours with still lots to do. It is just about beating the game it is about making your character strong enough to survive in different areas of combat. :)

Enjoy.

It is my opinion that the level for the players should have been raised to match the quests that you are trying to do instead of keeping them at level 20 this makes it very hard and frustrating for some players.
Other than that a very good game

Big Problems!!

Problem 1 Ranger pets not being able to go around a single spirit. This leaves a whole attribute line ineffective. Often times the pet will get stuck behind you. One tactic of Ritualists is to create a spirit on the corner of the map as to not allow a pet to get by, lol.

Problem 2 Ritualists are able to create 6 to 8 spirits before a single battle has started. In Team Arena or Random Arena this is basically like having a 5vs4 match. Rits can disrupt, knockdown , blind, do damage and other things.

Problem 3 In Random Arena you can face a team that has 3 monks in which no one dies and this can lead to a draw. In that case both teams lose stopping a teams streak.

Problem 4 In 4vs4 matches the action is fast and you need to target quickly. Can you imagine toggling through 8 spirits before even targeting a player. It gets worse when you face 2 Ritualists lol. What a joke.
Cheers!

First rate expansion to an outstanding game series. I was a slave to Lineage II, but broke the bondage by switching to Guild Wars. Currently playing all the GW campaigns simultaneously. Great for supplying weapons from one campaign to another. Guild Wars Nightfall provides for using heros in the Prophecies and Factions Campaigns.

Eye of the North Review

Eye of the North has a large number of new quests. It is designed for previous owners of other Guild Wars games. It is well worth the money. Some of the quests are too long and a couple of system crashes required restarting them from the beginning. There should be some method developed by the programmers that allow saves part of the way through the quests. Redoing most of a quest from the beginning can be boring.

I have played a few Online games over the years like Ashron's Call for 5 years & Diablo series. I love the fact that Guild Wars is FREE to play once you buy it unlike most of the other online games out there which charge a monthly fee. Their graphics are on par with most of the other online games & this expansion pack continues to improve the series & adds new areas to explore. It is interesting that they don't make it for Macs... Poor fanboys left out... will just have to play with themselves.

Guild Wars Rocks

To tell the truth, I dont like this game as much as the others. The PvE is monotonous. However, the farming aspects of this game are amazing. So many great things, from gold to great items can be farmed from various creatures across the game. Plus, it adds a whole other world to Tyria, in addition to the three already there. Good job ArenaNet!
