:122twars1og Hey CxS!


It is I, Coolshades3. For anyone who is worrying, this is not a quitting thread.


In my prolonged an unexplained to date absence from runescape I hear there have been many changes so I dropped in to see what the story was!


For the newer members which I hear we have alot of, (welcome to CxS) I am CoolShades3. I was an Actice CxS member for over a year and a 4 month colonel.


I was a level 106 in my time. I woulda beat the pants off snipore, but then I got bored with RS and played some other games, got my own band (w00t) and didn't think about Rs for a while.



:122twars1og




Lol, but anywayz, how is everyone? Let's see if the combined posts of the CxS forum spammers *cough* lavaman *cough* (Is he still here?) can get me caught up with the Updates. market prices and clan activites.





But, on another note people wonder why I'm gone. The answer- Guild Wars.


When I logged in today for the first time in months people begged me to explain Guild Wars so here it is.


Guild Wars is an online MOMRPG. You buy it in the forum of a CD ROM, install it, then play online for no cost at all. I have several pictures to explain the game.



I'll start off simple. The game itself.


Guild Wars allows you to choose a proffession from the 8 following each with uniquie abilities, weapons and armours.


-Warrior- deals heavy damage with heavy defense
-Monk- heals plays and smites enemies with holy damage
-Ranger- Deals moderate damage with a bow, sets traps
-Elementalist- deals super damage with spells- weak armor
-Mesmer- inturupts and weakens foes
-Necromancer- raises dead and draing health
-Assasin- Deals cirtical blows and strikes unexpectedly
-Ritualist- summons spirits that help allies and heals them

Once done, you can also choose a second profession, a name, the color of your armour and charchter appearnce. the Second profession allows you to use some abilities from it, but not make it your strength.


So, with a second profession, you're charchter would be seen as this when clicked on.

W/Mo20 Example Name Player



The W/Mo20 stands for a Warrior/Monk, while the number is your level. 20 is the maximum.

Example Name Player is just the name.




The objective is basically the same. Make money, get beter armour, get a better weapon.


However, there's another aspect that makes the game a key feature. Guilds.


Guilds are like clans, only the game system supports them to an unlimited end, providing capes, guild hallls, Guild Vs. Guild battles and much more.


Here's am example of a cape, my cape, the Guild I am. Angelic Spite (or AxS) has a cape that looks like this:

Posted Image

It's on the back of the guy with blonde hair. that's me. I'm called "Numoro Uno Tank" Tank is a turm for a warrior/monk. they deal heavy damage and heal themselves. Capes are desinged by the guild leader and are a mark of identification on a player.


There are other features tha guilds can do, such as favour. Guilds are set in America and Europe mainly, but also in smaller countries. The best guilds will battle in the hall of heros for the favour of the gods, allowing players on American servers and Europeon servers to enter god realms. This can only happen when that server nation as the favour of the gods.


~Gameplay

The basic gameplay revolves around towns and explorable areas. Unlike Runescape, towns are they only spot where you cannot attack things ans you can see other players. There are merchants (like general stores) Armourers that craft armour for you, if you have the cash and the materials being you can't do it yourself, and players can buy and sell items.

In an explorable area you can only see your pary members. You can invite people into your party in a town or outpost. Once done, you can go into an explorable area and kill things.

Posted Image


Farming, monster killing, is one of the few ways ot earn money. This is the importance of parties aside from hard quests. People in your party are your allies who you cannot attack but can heal you and vice versa.




~Combat


The combat interface is very extensive. Aside from the weapon and shield you hold, you can equip 8 skills in your skill bar.

Posted Image

There are 100's of skills for each class. these skills are obtained by buying them from trainers, doing quests, and with elite skills, capturing them from dead opponents.


the skills I have equipped are as follows:

Pure Strike- dealing +28 damage when used it cannot be blocked or evaded.

Healing Signet- Heals you for a number of health depending on how good you are in tactics

Galrath's Slash- Deals +37 damage on strike

Silverwing Slash- Deals +37 damage on strike

Vigerious Spirit- For 30 seconds, every time target ally or yourself attacks, they are healed a number of health depending on your attribute set on healing spells.

Sever Artery- On strike, foe begins bleeding for 20 seconds. Bleeding makes your health drain.

Final Thrust- On strike, you lose all adrenaline, but strikes for +40 Damage. This damage is doubled if foe is below 50% health.

Savage Slash- Foes current action is inturuped on strike. If that action was a spell, deals +37 damage.





These are a few of the many you can get for just one class.

There are 2 bars in that grid. the red one is my health, the damage i can take, and my energy, blue, tells me how much energy I can store at one time. Some skills like pure strike and vigerous spirit cost a certain amount of energy.



~Armour

Armor is obtained by buying it from armourers by handing them certain crafting materials obtained from slavaging certain items and an amount of cash. It can have set effects when you attatch runes to it. Runes are sheets of enchanted parchment that give your armour piece a certain effect, bought from rune traders, like health +75 or Swordsmanship +3. Armour can also be dyed different colors to the users preference. Take this picutre for example.

Posted Image

Some of the armour here is dyed from its natural color. Dye is obtained by random drop or purchase from players or dye traders. Some colours are rare, some are not.


~Weapons

These are a different story. Different weapons can do different maxmum damage rates. A sword's maxium rate is 15-22. However, weapon mods can change this.

Take this picutre for example:

Posted Image

The sword had a +29 health mod on it and a Damage +15% while health is above 50% mod. The max is 2 mods per weapon. Mods come in forms or hilts and pommels for swords, handles and wrappings for axes, heads and wrappings for staffs, Strings and grips for bows, etc, etc. Mods are obtained by salvaging unidentified weapons once identified from drops. These weapons sometimes have effects that when salvaged survive as a mod. Some are rare, some are common.


~Inventory

Your inventory looks like this:

Posted Image

A main backpack, and on side 3 slots to extend it with more room. A belt pouch, a bag and something else can do this,

Your storage account or back can gold 20 items.




That's the main gameplay guide.

Well, since everyone asked for it, there it is.


Any GW questions, ask me on this thread, I'll be checking it. Now tell me the news,


Later.
