Did it the same way as you, mainly because I didn't know about the spectacles that the Asurans sell though Lol

Asura, norn, vanguard basically. I did them in order of their importance to defeating the destroyers (lol at self).

I didn't get to far with norn during the sneak peak, I was too busy selling glacial stones.

Norn, Ebon, Asura.

Asura areas have my very favorite environment so far -- though I'm loving the Pre feel of the charr-infested areas -- but I was eager to get through Gwen's story once I finished what I started with the Norn during the preview event.

I did Norn on the sneak peak, then I started Asura and I am still putzing around in the Asuran places.
Just taking my time.
I was thinking of going back to Norn and finishing that later, but who knows. Maybe I will do the leprechaun faction next, or the martian one.

Norn Preview... Asura at launch, then back to norn for books, then charr. kinda mixed up I know but gotter done.. lol Now on to my next character... Think I'll go Char, Norn, Asura this time. seems that is its natural progression based on difficulty and drop quality...

But I have been having fun in some Elite Faction missions the last few days... With the majority of populace off doing GWEN the drop quality in other areas seem ampped up a bit... I got 2 greens from the final chest in Urgos yesterday... was a nice surprise.. Got some nice drops in DoA too today. Can't complain... and the Pugs in the area are better then your average groups atm cause the selection of players are limited, so people are working together better it seems. lol

Anyways its lots of fun all over the place. least for me... Thats why I'm taking my time getting more characters through all of GW:EN. it will be there for me when I want it. Thats the beauty of the system...

Norn, Asura, Vanguard on my ele. On my necro, dunno, except I'm getting Norn out of the way first, since I don't really like that part.

Asura Norn Vanguard

When I got the primaries I just randomly strayed with the Asura, I guess because that quest was already selected. So I finished that and hear some good things about the Norn from guildies so I did that next. I did Vanguard last because....they're human.

I did Norn, Vanguard and then Asura

Norn because it was the closest, then Vanguard because the travel time was minimal after Norn, and then Asura last as it was furthest afield. Made sense to me at the time

WOW, not a lot of people did Vanguard first eh?!!

OK for me, Vanguard was the first for me, since I just cared too much about seeing pre-searing lands and helping Gwen, and fellow Ascalonians. My main that I finished GW:EN with is Ascalonian after all.

Norn was next, mainly because I wanted to unlock Jora, and Xandra.

I initially did not like Asura, because of their looks, but their voices are sooo cool that I did them at last.

Nobody did Vanguard->Asura->Norn?

Pity D:

I did the EV act first because I was so hyped to see the charr homelands. I knew it was going to be like pre-searing.

All Vanguard - max the level of Vanguard Assassin Support

I completed the Norn Lands and almost all the related quests during the preview weekend.

I then went to the Asura Lands and have been there ever since. Completed the Asuran side of the story and now preparing to deal with all the dungeons throughout both the Norn and Asuran territories.


Ebon Vanguard?
Charr Homelands?
I'm leaving that crap for last. I've heard that it looks like Pre-Searing Ascalon.... and while I'm sure that gets everyone else hyped up, I'm personally in the progress of death-levelling my level 15 warrior in Pre-Searing... so I get QUITE enough of that already.
Besides... I won't be satisfied until I can "vanquish" Riven Earth.... dinosaurs and all. Just yesterday I unlocked Hayda... and I've got double hero paraway running now! I can wipe teams of dinosaurs without a single party death where before I actually had trouble with them overall.

Norn -> Vanguard -> Asura.

I wanted to see the Charr homelands and get Pyre. A little disappointed with it though, I think the Vanguard questline was the weakest in the game. Not sure if it was just the sheer amount of those Mantis things you had to fight through though..

Norn (because I did the preview event)
Ebon Vanguard/Charr (because I wanted Pyre Fierceshot and to see more of pre searing style lands)
Asura (because it was there)

The only part of EotN that really interested me was the smallest part of it - the Charr lands.

Asuran first, because I want some of their armor and skills. Unfortunately I'm not to rank 5 yet, so I haven't gone further than that :P

Currently working on Mesmer. I started off in Ebon Vanguard land because I wanted the armor. Didn't see the point in completing the expansion, then farming for points, moving on to a different character, and ignoring the armor I just bought...so I've gotten the Charr Farming in nice and early, now I can continue with the storyline.

Likewise, I was hoping for the storyline in the charrlands to continue on a bit more...liberating the charr from the "heavily fortified" base seemed like an unfinished ending...

All Norn. Deldrimor Skills. Asura quests. Vanguard Quests. Asuran skills. Vanguard skills.

Now I'm making dungeons. Once finished some of them, I'll go on with dwarven quests.
