You get the two extra slots if you decide to link your acuonts once factions is released. For the PvE weekend event, you have to use one of the four slots given to you if you wish to try playing an assasin or ritualist in Cantha.

Funny thing is, I know some monks who join the THK mission so they can farm the chests at the end, and then leave. Those chests have some decent drops so...:X

Hey Kitty, when can you get me an invite into that noob training PvP guild?

So I go to login for some late FoW action only to find this:

Without a doubt, some people are going to end up being overnight millionaires becasue of this (for a few hours at least, lol). And to think, I was only hours away from 100g. ecto at the merchant. :(

I've been following up on what happened and basicly something happened to the gaming server that caused the traders to reset the values of all runes and items. People saw this and took advantage, causing the most popular of the runes and rare crafting materials to sell out. In a nut shell, the economy went to hell in a hand-basket. In order to correct it, A-Net rolled back the state of the game to right before the error happened. Everything that was bought will be put back on the shelves, prices will return to normal, gold spend is refunded, and any kick ass drops that one had gotten in the time period will be lost. =\

Forgive me for being a complete noob to this game, but vendor and merchant are not the same thing, are they?

(I have a level... 6, I think, N/E named Filarun Melandaro. I'm still getting the ropes of this game and I want to understand WHY I CAN'T PLAY RIGHT NOW)

Basicly. Merchants would be the NPCs to buy salvaging kits and the like from while vendors/traders are where you can buy runes, crafting materials, and dyes from.

Lol about the whole reset thing. I bet GW went crazy for a few hours.

I like how this time it was unintentional.

It did go crazy... I was there... People were stuck inside towns, they could trade, and all the runes were like seven dollars...

Pretty crazy shit.

It all started with a guy going "WTF, NO MORE RUNES?!," too.

I like how it made me have to do a quest all over, right after I finished ;___;

I succumbed and pre-ordered Factions. Looking forward to wasting more of my time when I'm not even done with the main game yet.

Well this weekend, starting the 24th, Guild Wars is giving their preview of Factions.

So, you might as well try it out if you are unsure about getting it. :P

The damn thing still isn't available for preordering over here.

I'm starting to think they don't want me to get Factions.

I just started playing again doing some serious questing. I did some quests where I went around with some guildies and we eliminated some freak'in annoying Titans. Those things don't play around those battles were intense. But exhilerating Whew!! I wanna do it again.

Cantha has just been opened to the public. Anyone can make a new roleplaying character and start off in Cantha.

First impressions? God damn beautiful. I'll nab plenty of screenshots tomorrow when I have more time to look around. I can say the world is huge. Big open spaces, green, and dont forget the hundreds of monsters to fight. Its a great getting into the game feeling.

Anyways, 4am. more to come tomorrow.

holy Crap! 5000 files left to dl..angst!

Double Post:
Factions is sooo beautiful...

Factions is just amazing, I haven't done much for the PvE, but it does look very beautiful =D

Now, the core of it all is the PvP which is insanely fun. You have 2 nations, Luxon and Kruzick, who are at it with each other and you can join up in these alliances with them fighting with others to take over lands. The battles are huge, it's 12v12 and you win by taking over keypoints of the map and killing, when you win with whoever you choose, they take over a bit of the land in the map. Currently Kruzick(:edgarrock:) took a nice chunk from Luxon.

The thing that sucks about it though, is that if you're guildless, or if your guild has no interest in the PvP part, you're going to be missing out on alot of the big map battles. I'm guildless so I'm stuck with doing the tons of missions right now.
But yeah, game is beautiful. I'll be taking alot of screenshots today.

Ahh, to either actually enjoy my spring break weekend or spend locked up inside my room playing Factions.

Haha, it's a tough call.

The skills are all hacked up XD

I wonder how long until the nerf bat hits them, some of the skills can be so easily abused it's not even funny.

I love the assassin. The way the character moves and plays is so fluent. Havent had much time with the ritualist yet.

Woo! That was pretty awsome. If I must recommend something about Factions is that the Alliance battles kick so much arse. 12 on 12 free for all, I was on the Luxon side and we won 502-310. It was great being able to use my warrior from Tyria to aid their struggle ^_^.

It's pretty sweet that you can have one of the Tengu warriors fighting alongside you and you can get tigers and crabs and shit as pets. I saw this awesome White Tiger roaming around but I didn't get to nab it cuz my fucking party members killed it after it started attacking me while I used Charm Animal.

I am so gonna get a Black Moa pet when Factions is released...

Or maybe a tiger...

Ahh!

So have anyone been interested in th GWFC tournament at all?
Since this is the end of round one's qualifying section, the guild ladder is currently locked. The matches are supposed to take place this weekend.

Who is everyone rooting for? :D

I'm sad that EvIL and Te ended up in the same bracket. :<
