Quite a few things happened today. Got the first update since I got the game. It gave me First Person, and being able to finally having an option to set the zoom speed.
Though it did some with bugs. Two famous ones, are claiming you’re not in a Guild when you are, and hearing “Help please!” “Turret deployed!”, and other random player character emotions (when there’s no one around me).
Both bugs haven’t been fixed, despite two “hotfixes” we got.
The other, I got to Level 60. From doing the shortest Story Quest @ 50, to doing the longest @ 60. This went above and beyond, getting me to 62 by the time it was done. I really, really liked it. It’s one of the best content-oriented things I’ve seen of this game. Several times, I thought for sure that I was going to have to wait ’till 70 to see the rest of this. But wow, was I wrong. So much content done into one story quest.
I even learned quite a few new things about the game. Such as why the game is called “Guild Wars”(due to the Charr and the Humans), and about the bad relationship of several people of a disbanded Guild, that was called “Destiny’s Edge”.
I got to fight off armies of undead, risen by two of the Elder Dragons. Even got to kill one of them (with the other to be killed (hopefully) upon reaching Level 70), after the sacrifice of a NPC friend who didn’t believe in himself until now.
He was a Charr, but he was pretty awesome. The voice acting. The model. I… I just really liked him, and he will be missed dearly. Thankfully, you can avenge him by taking back a base.
There’s another thing, in one of the southern zones. It’s a personal event, of where you meet the Risen Commander, the one who presumably killed your friend, and is willing to do the same thing to you. I’ll be looking forward to doing this tomorrow, to give myself (and the order I work with) closure. Plus, it’ll be one less threat to Tyria.
I’m still amazed, how all of this still lacks a subscription fee. It’s the best $15 I ever paid for (for the game alone).
