I bought Guild Wars 2 recently due to the 20% off sale. Been playing with one of my friends and I am enjoying it a lot! When we're in a call with other friends, they're comparing it to RuneScape since apparently, what we say sounds like RuneScape o-o

Played both Guild Wars 2 and TERA, and I must say, they both have their ups and downs. Guild Wars 2 levels slower, but I feel there's more to do around areas than just leveling through quests and dungeons [which is in TERA]. TERA on the other hand, has a more fast paced and exciting battle system, but Guild Wars 2 has an alright one. The nice touch was being able to choose a profession and having multiple skills to go w/ it depending on the weapon combination.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase for now and the fact that I do not have to be rushed to play all the time since there is no monthly fee. TERA I had to farm for gold to be able to pay for monthly [it was nice considering you just had to pay for the game, then reach max level and suddenly, it'll be really easy to farm the gold to buy Chronoscrolls for monthly]. What are you thoughts/opinions on Guild Wars 2?

I played it for a month or 2 starting at headstart. Got level 80 in the first week and actually liked farming gold till a certain degree (I only did Grenth which was fun). It was a lot of fun but one day I just stopped logging in.

I've just stopped logging in really. I'd much rather go play GW1 instead. I prefer the first to the second. Overall the first had a better battle system and story but I really liked the second's event system. If more of my friends played GW1 I'd form a few teams and run through the stories and such.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool

    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
