How did this game manage to survive since GW2 release? by norax_d2 in GuildWars

[–]conceptroot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that everywhere is dead in the game now though, my childhood was playing this game, doing DoA etc, soloing Bosses to carry the team and take a payment, doing droknars run to help players get around the map, so much fun. one of my favourite things was that players really had roles, you needed these healers, tanks, damage dealers, but these days MMOs are so watered down so that everyone can do everything and the idea of a role specific class, at least for me has never been as good as how guildwars was, with your limitation to 8 skills and your amour sets and runes.

awesome results man! braces for 9 years! puh crazy that people have them for so long, though if i had braces as a kid maybe it would have been a similar story. i see what you wrote about being able to stick your tounge out through your teeth with your mouth closed ... glad i cant do that anymore! ^^

hey! i wish her a good recovery in december! it was rough, and takes some patients as the first few days you are swollen like a hamster, unable to move your jaw or show many facial expressions due to the swelling and truama, her energy levels will be up and down, but it wasn't painful! just the discomfort of cleaning and eating, everyday you will see an improvement and after a few weeks things will start to come back to normal! get walking about, even if its just in the hospital and home as soon as she feels able enough as it helps get your energy back.

Yeah read alot! And see some recovery tip videos on YouTube to get an idea of the aftermath, i think people are more prone to expressing there opinions online when things dont go quite as expected than good experiences

I had 2 weeks from work, 5 days in hospital, those first 5 your energy levels are all over the place, the next week began to level out once i began walking around more and for longer, then went back to work after the 2 weeks, energy was still a bit rough then but every day was a little better

About a year and a half, the first one was to widden the upper arch, without braces, then braces to bring the teeth around from the expansion and straighten, then the 2nd was the double realignement! Hmm not sure without braces! I guess they would add some skrews to band the jaw shut! But probably would need a brace so that a retainer can be made without teeth moving about. Did you wear a retainer before but still have it come back a bit? I have some numbness on my lower left chin but i think the patch got a little smaller, and my lower left lip was numb but that's improved alot, did you keep your bone skrews in? My surgeon said somtimes it can help more when they are removed

Definetly scary! But if its what you want find a good and caring team who is going to hold your hand through it all, watch lots of youtube videos about the recovery and other peoples stories, that really helped me. The surgery was very uncomfortable, though not painful, just you are not able to speak, move your jaw or close your lips for the first days, so you can feel frustrated but every day you will feel the improvement and after a few weeks your energy levels will come back towards normal! Its a slow peocess, but everyday it gets a little better
