I already have Prophecies and I was wondering whether to get Factions or Nightfall and I was thinking well with one i can get Flesh Golems and other cool elites but with the other I can get a Dervish and Heroes so if anyone can tell me which one to get and why that would be a real help cause I'm asking a lot of friends and stuff and its like a tie and noone's 100% sure whether to get Nightfall or Factions... So if you guys can help out that would be nice.

I'd say take Faction,you have one of the most coolest PvP of GW(AvA),a great storyline(even if most people hate it),some nice amor(Kurzick,Luxon^^),and if u buy faction you'l understand the nightfall storyline if u buy it laterNightfall have Dervish and Paragon,they are cool but serously not a "revolutionary" class,i played Dervish and i mean i was more "not bad class" than "OMG i love that class",oh and whit Faction you have Assassin(low defence but heck good combo to pwn you'r oppenent in 5 sec!) and Ritualist(Spiritspamming FTW^^)

My 2 cents

Get Factions so that the story in Nightfall will make more sense and I assume your a necromancer since you mentioned Flesh Golem, I think it is a better elite that the MM elite that comes in Nightfall. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Jagged_Bones
that is the wiki link to the jagged bones elite, its cool but I think flesh golem is better.

There is a sticky for this...

Anyway DON"T get Factions over Nightfall, it is easily the worst of the three. It has a bad story, extremely short, and way too fast leveling. Nightfall is a lot better with a much better story and a fair amount longer. The best thing to do would be to jsut get both.

Factions is gettable for the skills, Nightfall gives you a good game to use them on.

Or...

Just get both! Factions is going down in price all the time, Nightfall as well. I would just get both if I was you... why limit yourself to one or the other?

I asked the same question a little while ago, and based on the answers choose nightfall for our mini guild (unofficial, just mates who play together) and so far I think its great, the story works really well, and it is by far the best game if you play alone. The heros and the added control ( flags) makes it a pleasure to play to play by yourself
I do have factions but aswell but really have only played it a tiny bit compared to nightfall, Oh yeah and I shipped my necro over from tyria to cantha so she could get some good armour ( poor sad me can't get thru thirsty river)

Flesh golem is about the worse elite for an MM.

Jagged bonus (NF) is much better, or Toxic chill.

Thnx for the replies so far, Im thinking of getting Nightdfall because I want somewhere to explore a little longer but first I have a few q's before I can conclude a decision..
1. wat is the domain of anguish?
2. which one is more farming and stuff like that
3. which one has better weps
4. And this might sound noobish but is AvA (alliance v alliance)

1. Domain of Anguish is an elite mission that you can try after your finish Nightfall. Finishing the game is a requirement.
2. Factions has faction farming, Nightfall has Sunspear and Lightbringer point farming.
3. Weapons don't matter that much as you can buy what you want from any campaign from player traders.
4. yes.

When I meant farming I meant like green farming and like rare material farming, stuff like that...

Both chapters have green farming. Check out the program linked in this thread which will show you the bosses and available greens for each campaign. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10106484

Rare materials are gained mostly through salvaging drops with an Expert Salvage Kit or gaining the components and paying a crafter NPC to make the rare. Otherwise you can buy them from npc and player traders.
