Are you in one of them? :p Im still guildless btw, just started a new Necro/Monk, got him to yaks last night.

I'm confused about Factions. Exactly what kind of game is it? I have Guild Wars, is this game an expansion, a sequel, or does it contain Guild Wars with enhancements and more features like, say, MGS3:Subsistence is to MGS3? If so, is it even worth keeping Guild Wars when I get this?

Not really, since I already have an idea of who is going to take the glory. Although I will keep my eyes out for certain matchups so I can see how they have adapted to the current metagame, or if they're still slugging around like snails and haven't figured out the proper adaptations necessary to pull a win.

Weren't you in a guild not too long ago when we last talked? What happened there, didn't work out?

Factions is supposed to be a stand-alone expansion. You do not need Prophecies (Guild Wars) to play or enjoy this game, but it might be in your best benefit to put the two together to continue the adventures of your mighty Tyrian hero/heroine. If you did not have Prophecies and just got Factions (or have Prophecies and don't want Factions) you wouldn't be missing out on anything storywise, as the two are not related at all. However those who do link the two together will get added benefits, such as being able to have double skills (one from Prophecies and one from Factions) which open up a new era of cheapness that will result in more nerf batting of the Elementalist.

I'm probably going to wait a month or two before getting Factions, so all the retardation can weed itself out during 12v12, and all the backstabbers will find one side to stick to permanently.

Ah. I think I've only played PvP maybe once, I guess because I'm not in a Guild yet or anything so it's kinda boring. I'll probably get Factions for PvE, like I did with Prophecies.

I've been doing alot of guild hopping >.> I try to organize things, help people through PvE, ask for help on PvP and they're all "GTFO" so I leave >.<

Are there no more good helpfull guilds ;____;

I've been pretty disenchanted with the guild system. The first one I was in was pretty much just a group of friends that I happened to fall into just because I partied with them one time. I left them pretty quickly.

I figured it would be more exciting than what I'm experiencing now. However, I'm only just now getting into PvP since I've finished the PvE campaign so I might actually be able to get into the GvG aspect of my guild.

But for other things, such as for being helpful, it's more dependent on how many people are on at a given time =/ More people = More chance someone has the answer.

For the longest time I didn't know how to call targets >_>

All I do in Guild Wars nowadays is try and find money and unlock skills. There's really nothing more important once you've done pretty much everything. My next goal is going to be the Underworld and Fissure of Woe and getting more experienced in PvP.

GUILD WARS FACTION CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE HELD IN LEIPZIG GERMANY!

...WHY

Ahaha, poor Kitty :p I thought this one would be held in Seatle, but germany? :p They give all the european players the fun.

Oh, does anet pay for your flights? Or do you have to manage all that.

Is the GamingForce guild still up? If it is, is anyone actually active in it? I wouldn't mind being in a guild, but it would be cool to be in one with ppl I've actually met outside the game.

XHG has died a few months after it started. Kitty is in.. one of the top ranking guilds, Lace is in some other guild and I'm guildless again, but hoping to get into CT (Crossing Tyria).

Its always fun to have someone you know in the same guild as you, but its also hard to maintain. It gets borring, you dont play for a while, or you decide to leave.

Because if they let you participate then there would be no contest =P

Whew! Finally got another video card so I'm back again. I've put my characters back in my signature now.

It's been a while since I posted in here.

As far as I'm concerned, DSB died when Kitty left. It still exists last I checked a few months ago, but thats about it. I'll play a bit over the summer and buy Factions maybe.

I just ordered the collector's edition of Factions. Can't wait to play the assassin. Too bad I'm way too late with pre-ordering to get my pre-order box tomorrow =p

Well, I heard they delayed the release of the Collector's Edition anyway. It looks like I should still be able to enjoy the pre-release event since I got the Pre-Order disk but this the whole 10-day grace period makes me wary of investing too hard into a character that might get deleted if my Collector's Edition doesn't arrive in time >_>

My interest in GW has sadly died off. I think I just got busy with work/other games, but I figure a good injection of Factions should help me out.

And why does everyone not want a W/Mo? ;_; (I do know they're everywhere). I was working on a N/Me before I stopped playing in hopes of actually getting into some parties, haha. I want to try HoH, but I got stopped at Team Arenas.

How can it be delayed if the copies are shipped?

Wait, WTF.

I just got a mail from Gamestop saying that my copy would delayed. Where did you get yours?

Edit: http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=394817

Well if that is true, I'll just order the normal version of the game tomorow, no worries there.

edit: just called the store - they are going to find it out for me.

edit 2: A post from NCSoft on various fansites:

Ok, so you still can play the early access event, but then you get locked out. Your characters stay there for 10 days if you dont put in a factions key, and then they get deleted.

I got my hands on a pre-order key (won a contest, Turbo =p) and currently playing as assassin (A Sas In). I'm thinking of changing my secondary profression to Ranger.

Turbo, you playing tonight?

So, I kind of got back into GW (my WoW account expired yesterday, and I don't feel like paying for this again).

My N/E is currently stuck at Thunderhead Keep. I just tried the mission with a PuG, and we were owned at the fortress (few ran off somewhere else, thus owned). Mission doesn't appear to be that difficult, but if someone's willing to help me out, I'd really appreciate it :)

Oh, and I think I'll pick up Factions sometime later this week.

Me and Gaara formed a new guild - Serious Business!

We are aiming at pure fun, and not the bullshit of being active. Everyone is welcome to join, and there are no restrictions after that. Who is joining?

I'll help... Its perfectly doable with henchies, bonus included, it just takes a bit of time and patience. I'll see if I can get a friend or two to help out as well.

I won't be on factions for about another week, I want my damn collectors edition lol.
