I am wondering - why didnt we get centralized UW and FoW group formation for all continents?

Current situation is comparable to having Tombs as they were + NF specific access to HA + Factions specific access to HA...

Becuase there no need. Besides we already have the Temple of Ages for UW and FoW.

That as all the elite areas are part of different chapters.

Well I would mind if they made the temple of the gods in such a way that people that own only Factions could play with people that own only proph or nf.

Normally, I agree with ya Firebat, but not here. Sorrow's as the elite area for prophecies, UW and FoW should be centralized so Factions and Nightfall only players can more easily find groups (they are STANDALONE games afterall, you should not be required to buy other chapters just to get a group). I completely agree with him, and I don't even do UW of FoW that much anymore.

I totally agree. If you want to find a FoW or UW group, you pretty much have to go to ToA. Finding groups in Factions or NF is much harder IMHO.

BTW, I signed Lyra's proposal. Great idea.

Hold on, what do you mean by centralization?

If you mean accessable by every chapter, then they already are...

Prophecies = Temple of Ages
Factions = Zin Ku Corridor
Nightfall = Chantry of Secrets

if not, then I don't know what you mean, sorry

he means like the way the battle isles are setup, and ive had this thought aswell, they should centralize it so that its not split up among 3 chapters.

but its not split...

its the equivalent of a WoW dugeon and its accessible from every chapter

Am i just missing the point here?

i think you dont get it still. he wants ONE place to go to, to get to fow/uw, like u go to the normal places u would go to get to fow/uw but instead u get transported to a place where anyone from any chapter can play. i hope i worded that good...

Agree the OP wants a central staging area for all chapters so they can hook up and go for FOW, UW.

Kinda like how the battle isles does with RA,TA,HoA but anyone can access it after a certain point.

As more chapter come out and the population get further spread out, I don't think this is a bad idea at all.

Oh I see... heh, i guess another good meeting place would be a good thing, maybe it would also serve as a good spot for Gaile to do her chats from, somewhere everybody can get to

What about DoA,Urgoz and The Deep even though you need a ferry Urgoz and The Deep.

DoA is Nightfall, and Urgoz/Deep are Factions. They are the equivalent not of FoW/UW, but of Sorrow's Furnace.

Nope I don't think it will ever get around to being centralized since it would already throw off the formula, that they thought would already work. I am just hoping….. for well…. something else they could add to the realm of the gods.

People that want to go to FoW and UW are split over three chapters. All want the same, go to FoW/W but players are seperated in different corners of the GW world.

ToA, Zin Ku, Chantry. Add one more for the 4th Chapter?


The more chapters, the more it will even become inevitable to make one big central access area/temple. But as people prefer to solo farm anyways, well... some people might still want to play and not to farm these areas.

I think it's a great idea. When Factions came out I wondered why they didn't do this. Thought it would be obvious.
