Any 'discussion' to either side that attempts at causing drama will result in closure.

There's a different mission for each side.

And then there are the Challenge Missions.

There's nothing stopping you from going into the opposing faction's territory.

There's no difference between the two sides, apart from the armor arts and challenge missions the two sides offer.

Personally, I went with the Kurzicks because I prefer the distinguished elegance that their armors have, and I enjoy strolling through forests

i think luxon side is actually harder than kurz. seeing as i mostly play casters, the naga archers are always a pain. they are a lot better at shutting me down then the warden mesmers.

Y'all know Luxon's are stinky losers, nearly as bad as Kournans. Sheesh.

My guild belongs to a Luxon alliance, but at heart I'm a Kurzick sympathizer. They have better armor and more interesting npcs.

I prefer Kurzick architecture, armor sets, and names. That's about the extent of the difference, though.

Kurzick faction is faster to gain than Luxon.
Also, there are slight aesthetic differences.

Thats it.

Kurzick is better because in AB if you're on the Kurzick side you are almost guaranteed to win.

No difference whatsoever.
Jade sea is gorgeous, the forest is dark and dismal. Some Kurzick armor is better then the Luxon counterpart & vice versa.

The first guild I've joined when Faction started was Luxon - we made our following Luxon as well. I don't like most of the Kurzick scene personally, and for armor, there's always FFF or getting a guest to a Kurz guild, or questing. Don't like the way Kurz AB either (they always seem to be mobbing, then the Luxon mob back, eh...). And I prefer Gyala Hatchery to Eternal Grove.

-Kurzick armor is better.
-Gothic Swords rock.
-The forest is better than the sea.
-Zhu Hanuku is lame.
-Kurzick Faction is easier to get.

-and that's the bottom line, because I said so.






.....j/k, I know the first four are my opinion >.>

Dunno but whenever I AB our team ends up getting beaten and sent back home with our tail between our legs (kurzick) but that all tends to shift back and forth like a game of tennis. I will note that I notice that most Luxon teams I encounter are all in this massive frenzy and just mow over anything they come across but sometimes don't cap, and are centered on killing. I will also note that Kurzick are sometimes very coordinated and split up into separate groups to capture points but on the other hand sometimes you just have 12 people fighting solo and not capping at all =/

Also, this kinda reminds me of the whole Alliance vs Horde thingy in WoW...

There is almost no difference...I'm sure a bunch of people on this site could come up with pros and cons, but neither is so good that it would honestly make a difference.

Funny because I didn't lose a single AB the other day...and I hardly AB at all.

And that was as a Luxon. I'm in a Kurzick guild now so we'll see how it goes. If I start winning then, I'll probably use that to feel good about myself because I'm pivotal. (although I know I'm not...riposte/glad's warrior can't do much other than soak up the nub sins)

From the little of what I've seen in AB it might be easier to win as Kurzick, but it's -so- much easier getting into a battle as Luxon, so on a time-faction base, it's probably best to be Luxon.

Which faction is better? Hmmm..... since they're both from the factions campaign, I'd have to say....

Who cares? factions sucks. (IMHO, of course )

Personally i prefer kurzick area because of the Gothic feel, and I also find the foes easier in those lands, and i also prefer the kurzick armour to luxon. Facion wise i dont actually care both sides seem equally freindly when i ab there, they both have equal amount sof rude people too. I think luxon however have the advantage as i usually find it is always easier to get into AB matches on their side

Since I was from Tyria and therefore a Mercenary I chose both

Went Luxon first finished the whole game and then made friends with the Kurzics.

There were a lot of skills I nneded to cap in the forests and I also needed to get to all the cities.

Luxon Looked better if I was after scenery its Luxon all the way.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I was once strictly a Luxon but had to change my ways when I discovered that some Elites weren't available in Luxon territory. So Kurzick is the way to go.

On the other hand, going Luxon means that you don't have to do Eternal Grove.
