Just curious about this.
Seems like this preview for Factions is only for people doing PVP. Is there going to be any reason for a PVE player like myself to go along. I have done some PVP but got bored with it and do very little of it now. However can I just bring my PVP char and find pick up groups to do stuff with in the new area?
Thanks.
Will there be ANYTHING for PVE in Factions WKEND

The new area is staying anyways.

You should check out the place where Tombs used to be. And read other threads more thoroughly (or use the search button) in case your question was answered elsewhere.

The old Tombs outpost is now a staging area for a new PvE experience. And there are PvP training missions on The Battle Isles that do not actually involve PvP ... you can fight against AI teams that are styled after some common PvP team builds.

Unfortunatly I think doing a PvP event like this wasn't the best way to get new players in to the game, the templates are so limited what with some templates having locked skills for new accounts meaning the choices are even fewer.
I tried to introduce 5 people to guildwars and only one of them likes what he has seen of the game.
A PvE area for new accounts would have been a nice addition or just allow people to play through pre-searing to get a real feel for the game.
Don't get me wrong i think it's great to get a peek at the new content and to try to get more people in to PvP.

Don't count chapter 2 out yet i'm sure the final PvE will be just as good if not better and bigger than chapter 1, I just though it was a shame that the first event wasn't a bit more gripping for new people.
I'm going to try to convince my mates to try it out if there is a PvE but their thoughts of it are pretty low at the moment
it's a shame as i love guildwars and had hoped to get them in to it.

All you can really do besides the arena is run around this island and fight some masters, for no purpose that I can see. Right now I wouldn't buy it. Reviews after it comes out may change my mind, if it turns out there actually is some worthwhile PvE content in it. I think it's like this: if you like sports you will like PvP, but an awful lot of us are not sports fans. Oh, well. Chapter 3 may be heavily weighted towards the PvE players--we can hope.

The PvE events will come closer to release. I imagine they will have events like the old World Preview Events where we can explore Cantha.

note that GAILE stated that it was even nicer than presear Ascalon and at some times she was very surprised and happy with what she saw and she seems to be more of a PVE player than pvp.i (PVE only) have great hopes for chapter 2

Still called Tombs of Primeval Kings, although it no longer is marked with a red map pin, now it's indicated in the same fashion as any other town or outpost.
Note: must be ascended, cannot be accessed via other means (ie: running)

Also, as there are so fracking many dif ench breakers, it is NOT 55 build friendly.
It is highly reccomended to bring rebirth in here.

I agree a free pre searing weekend would also be a better idea.

At least it worked us all up for the PvE event. We took many screenshots and had lots of fun just making the characters and looking at their skills for combos.
Enjoyed it, but it became a one day event, instead of the three that I planned on.
