Codex Article[edit]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Vincent Evan [Air Henchman] 22:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm surprised I got a reader already since I'm not too active on the wiki. Which parts do you mostly agree with? Sincerely, SylvXIII 22:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


You are one lucky man to be able to play with a {rawr} player considering what you said is true. I am a big fan of their guild and their player, so I would like to get your input on how is it like playing with that person? Any insight would help. I just like to know if they are really great players and how they act etc. Thank you in advance.

Hi IP, Bamboo explained to me that when they were focusing on GvG, that's all they would do. They would not be in touch with the community (or hardly in touch) at all. However, rawr has gone inactive in the last months and when they did, Codex made its appearance. That's when Bamboo decided to play a little over there and that's how I met him, so it's not really luck. There are a couple of rawr players still playing left and right in GvG but many of them switched to another game. How is it like to play with a rawr player? Well, it's pleasant teamwork. One thing I learned from playing with him is a deep concept of class identity. Whenever we used to work out codex skill bars, we assumed that you will use all your skills at proper times because that's your job because you have those skills on your bar. So if you're a Warrior and you can't kill anything and you have many damage skills, then either you're not doing your job right, either someone else isn't. And by someone else I mean, the monk might be bad at keeping you clean under pressure, your rupter (if any) might be bad at rupting whatever is fucking you up and so on. The more I played with this guy, the more I came to reason Guild Wars as common sense. It's all about doing your job mid-game, not only at the start and whenever I play with Bamboo, I have trust that he's doing his job and he trusts me too. While Bamboo is a very good player and sometimes amazes me when he says something like "I knew he was going to fake cast, I don't fall for that shit", he's also a human and makes mistakes. He points out my mistakes, I point out his and we mutually help each other when something's wrong: it's not about humiliating people, just letting them know what they did (or are doing) wrong. It's a rawr philosophy thing to mutually help and criticize each other while putting your ego aside: so yeah, pleasant teamwork. If you can't take criticism (we pugged some people like that), then you're not going to have a fun time playing with a rawr player (they raged). On his Guild Wars skills, well Bamboo is on a different league than most high-end PvP players and you probably wouldn't understand what that means unless I give you examples. Ranks don't matter, capes don't matter. How good you are is how you play the game, not how good you think you are. He's not afraid to say a non-leeching gold-trimmed monk sucks when he sucks. It's a philosophy of gaming to learn from and I personally did and improved. I hope I answered your question. Sincerely, SylvXIII 00:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Well I wouldn't really say that they weren't communicating with the community at all. Because from what I've seen they help a lot of people from their website whoever ask a question. But some of the players are not that talkative :) It must have been really a joy to be able to learn a lot. Because I myself, always look to get better and I don't have an ego compared to most of the players in gw. So it must be a nice experience. Yeah on the part when you mention his on a different level than most, I get what your saying but at the same time it's broad and like you said would help with ex. But thank you for sharing.

Your stuffs[edit]

are good. Write more pls. --67.240.88.57 01:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to you sir, I greatly appreciated that comment. I still have a lot of ideas in mind. Sincerely, SylvXIII 01:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
I too have been reading through, and agree with the ip that it is very good. The Class Identity page in particular made for an interesting read, though I disagree slightly with the "Warriors are not tanks" part. Keep up the good stuff! Shadow Runner 00:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the positive comment Shadow, although my saying of Warriors not being tanks was a way of mocking PvE players often bringing tank builds into Random Arenas xD as I'm writing the article mostly from a PvP point of view. I think I might just have a bad sense of humor. Sincerely, SylvXIII 06:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Ah of course. I myself play PvE primarily, with the exception of AB and FA, so that is most likely why I missed it. Thanks for the explanation! Shadow Runner 12:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

How can you possibly use your death as an advantage? Eloc 01:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Simple. In HM, once your party gets to 60 DP while dead, it's game over. Assuming the 7 other party members (let's say hero and hench) got killed a by savannah heat, just run in a fireball and get absolutely no DP. Do this to rez over and over again like in Normal Mode. It's just a tip however. I personally managed to beat him with henchmen and heroes without using this tactic but I thought it could help others so I wrote it down.

Ah, ok. — Eloc 08:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
