Guild Wars - Bye Bye Ascalon

The daily quests were starting to become a chore & Abbas was getting bored of grinding the Charr so we decided to join Prince Rurik & attack Vatlaaw Doomtooth.

Making it to old Ascalon had its advantages because I had access to my chest & we could now hire two henchman to join our party.

Abbas saw the map & thought wow that is huge to which I replied yes we will be playing his for a while yet.

Guild Wars 2 also arrived in the post but my attempt to logon was prevented bye constant server errors. Thinking about it this morning my copy of the game arrived early from GMG thus I probably do not have access to the headstart? I will leave it till Tuesday to try again.

Guild Wars - Legendary Defender of Ascalon

Not long to go now till Guild Wars 2 is released, in the meantime I purchased the original game for Abbas to enjoy.

I have never completed Guild Wars, I got to Lions Arch & then got distracted possibly by the arrival of the 360 & my return to console gaming.

Thus with Abbas we are adventuring in pre-searing with our level 9 characters (Warrior/Elemental & Warrior/Monk) to the Northland’s in search of experience points & more importantly Charr Bags. 

Once we have reached level 10 Lieutenant Langmar in Ascalon offers you daily quests, I have never gotten a character this high in pre-searing so I am curious to see what quest he offers & this will decide if we decide to advance  pass searing or stick around to try and earn the title Legendary Defender of Ascalon.

Guild Wars 2 - Beta Test

Thanks to a retweet from MerseyMal I was lucky enough to get a beta key from the Eurogamer giveaway to try Guild Wars 2.

My main concern was would the game run on my current system with my basic graphic card.

Thankfully I had no issues at all even with all the action that was happening in the game. I did not spend too long with the beta because I did not want to ruin the experience of the game when released but with my brief few hours I managed to complete a few quests, be involved in a couple of boss fights & even take part in a dynamic event.

My pre-order is done so now time to sit back and wait till the 28th August.
