Guild Wars: Factions
- Official web page: LINK
- Publisher: NCSoft
- Genre: CORPG
- Release date: OUT NOW
- Story/Description:
| Quote: |
Guild Wars has been termed a CORPG, cooperative online roleplaying game by its creator, ArenaNet. The game is set in an immersive medieval fantasy setting. Don't expect to play and find the average fantasy world though, ArenaNet has gone out of their way to create their own unique world with a deep storyline and unusual characters. Guild Wars, as indicated by its name, incorporates a vast system to facilitate the creation and running of guilds. There is extensive support for PvP combat within the game, including small battles of 4v4 all the way through raging Guild vs. Guild battles. While the game offers vast PvP options, there are also cooperative areas and solo play areas. With the option to login and bash monster heads with friends, unfold an ever-expanding storyline through the cooperative missions, or jump into heated combat against players from all around the world, you can bet Guild Wars is sure to keep players from all gaming experiences entertained for hours.

Ok, so we still have a guild (which i'm in haha..) more to the point, I'm playing it again now, due to factions kicking ass and me loving the assassin build! Anyone else playing? Anyone care to explain the Armour stuff to me... its losing me utterly.. maybe i should read the manual :\..

Wasn't Guild Wars the game with 1D elements in the 3D world? I believe so, looked very ugly.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

I got guild wars on the day of release, played it for about 6 hours and tried to commit suicide out of boredom.. However I am a HUGE MMO fan (currently playing 3.. :\).. so when I looked at the information on factions I decided it wasn't that big a chunk of money to blow to give it a try. I bought it yesterday and find the factions campaign far more fun, less annoying, and just all around better than the original one.

The orginal wasn't boring, could be your class. Guild Wars can get really boring if you don't know any people. Its not worth playing if you just play with NPC's all the time.

the lack of aesthetic varieties in armour is a bit crap, how u look similar to everyone else, but the game itself is fun and its very tactical, but as said, i reccomend finding a friend to play with, ibought the original guild wars and got rid of it as it was boring but picked up factions and am playing with a friend over teamspeak now its really fun and when we join a good guild with teamspeak im sure itll get even better, an in game voice chat feature would also have been good.

OFF TOPIC AGAIN: World Of Warcraft-gfx engine Is a modified WARCRAFT 3-engine, Nuff said.
Guild wars have never been something Im willing to check out... dono. Those kinda games are fun for a short while.. and If you gonna be successfull you have to spend alot of time.
Sig too big.

Are you sure you are playing factions?? Way to many of the quests are fedex style, go to a to b and back to c.

I hate the maps in this game. They look great but you can't climb ANYTHING with an anlge exceeding 30 degrees, and you can't jump either... It drives me fucking crazy.
