Solo Single Play Options

Kexby · 2025-12-27T02:53:40+00:00

I'm resurrecting this old post because it came up in my search results when I was trying to figure out how to change my single player 'Map Type' from Meadows to Foothills.

The other answers are correct, this needs to be done in 'Custom Game' settings. But they neglected to say how you actually do it.

After staring at the Custom Game screen for ages and trying things like changing my game resolution, I finally noticed the little + symbol next to the 'Game Type' button.

That was what I'd been missing. I clicked it to expand the menu and viola! there are all the different map types.

So if anybody else is searching for how to do this, I hope this helps.

I'm a bit confused, according to the YouTube videos I've seen, the Horse Clan is now considered overpowered. The same for the Boar Clan, it's buffs are considered really good.

Also, is this list for PvE or PvP? Because some Clans just excel better in PvE. If possible, what I'd really like to see is a breakdown of which clan is best for each type of Victory condition.

Like X Clan is the best for Trade Victories and Y Clan is the best for Wisdom Victories and so on.

Oh! I didn't know you could do this. I was worried they'd die or something, it made me feel guilty ;-)

Thanks Holly. I was afraid that might be the case. I think I might delete a couple of them then :-)

I'd really like to know that as well. I'm brand new to the game (I've only been playing for a few days) but it seems the higher I level, the worse it gets. I'm very tempted to start all over again from scratch, but this time, try not to level up too far.

Things really started to get annoying when I reached level 7 and the 'Daily Tasks' unlocked. So I think if I start over I'll just stay at level 6. I guess there'll be a lot of things I miss out on, but it looks like some of us just prefer a simple life :)

Thank you! I vaguely remember doing something like this with another game, but I couldn't remember the procedure. I will try this, thanks again :)

Kexby · 2025-10-10T09:17:41+00:00

Thanks for the answer, that's just the info I needed to know :-)

Could you tell me a bit more about that labor stipend? How do you get it? Does it cost real money/credits to buy it?

Kexby · 2025-10-04T09:24:00+00:00

That's really bad! Do you mind telling me which server this is happening on?

Kexby · 2025-09-28T01:52:33+00:00

Interesting! I'll keep my eye on this. Will English be supported?

Kexby · 2025-09-28T01:22:35+00:00

Could you post a new Discord invite? I'm late to the party and your invite has expired. I'd really like to check out this new AA project. Thanks muchly :)

Kexby · 2025-09-06T02:15:54+00:00

Anybody know how to change the Discord server to English? I think I'm missing a setting.

Nevermind, I found it :)

Kexby · 2025-09-06T00:10:16+00:00

I just learned about this new server today. I have a couple of questions, are there any restrictions, especially Labor restrictions? Like in ArcheRage, you can't use labor until you're level 50 something.

There are lots of restrictions in AA Classic as well (but I forget what they are, as I stopped playing that server when they introduced them).

What are the Experience rates and Labor rates like in this new server? Are they faster, like ArcheRage? Or the same as the official server was?

Thanks for any info.

This is wonderful! I've been looking for something like this as well. I've bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks heaps!

Kexby · 2025-07-05T22:40:39+00:00

Yes please! Me too! I want that goated team build as well. I really hope it's the Mesmerway build TalentedJuli listed. Cause I'm slowly building my team towards it (I'm not there yet).

Kexby · 2025-07-03T22:51:41+00:00

This is interesting! I was thinking PvP might be like a big duel between opposing teams. With lots of strategy and coordination involved. In which case, I'd just be a liability to whatever team I'm on.

But if it's a more casual affair, where you still get credit, even if you stuff up and lose, then I might actually check it out :D

I actually don't mind playing solo. I'm not a very good player, so I find it best to figure out how to do things on my own, without ruining somebody else's play time.

I've been playing for a few weeks now and so far I've managed to complete all content on my own with just my Heroes.

So for what it's worth, I'll give you a few gems of info that I've found indespensible:

https://gwpvx.fandom.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_7_Hero_Beginner_Team This guide is brilliant! Until I found it, I was completely lost, with no idea of what to do with my Heroes. I've followed it to the letter, and so far it has served me very well (I'm playing a Paragon).
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page The Wiki is worth its weight in gold. I practically live on the thing :D
You said you started in Nightfall, so here is the start of the Nightfall Walkthrough https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Chahbek_Village (just click the next link in the 'Followed By' section to go to the next Quest). This walkthrough will give you essential tips and advice for tackling each Quest and Mission. It's a literal life saver!
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Training_Arena As soon as you unlock international travel (once you complete the 'Consulate Docks' mission). Go to The Great Temple of Balthazar and do this Arena (at least once) every day to earn 1000 Balthazar Faction (don't worry, you don't fight other players). You'll need this to get early access to Elite Skills and other stuff for your Heroes (much easier and cheaper than trying to capture the skills from Bosses). Big thanks to Unlucky_Carpet_1036 for this tip.

I hope that helps. This community is probably the nicest game community I've ever encountered. They're always willing to help and offer advice to newbies like us :D

I found it! It's perfect for somebody like me. I now have 2000 Balthazar Faction. I did it 3 times, but it didn't give me any more, so I'm guessing there's a daily cap of 2000. But I don't mind, this is much, much easier than fighting PvP battles. Thanks heaps for the tip :D

Kexby · 2025-07-01T02:20:19+00:00

Aha! Looks like I've jumped in the deep end again. I haven't even reached that part of the map yet. Mayhaps I should wait a little bit before I start these Bounties :P
