I don't think this has been raised yet, but will Factions have 2 more Attribute Point quests?
This presents some dilemma, because it will be unfair to Factions buyers not to have them in their portion of the game, and would certainly be one good motive for merging accounts.
But my concern is that if Factions gives merged accounts only one or even two additional slots, many will choose not to do so... leaving those who do with a clear unbalanced advantage.
Unless there is a cap placed on the number of bonus attribute point quests you can do. But again, there would go one reason to merge the accounts.
15 Attrib Point Quests: The Factions Pandora's Box

the max attribute points will still be 200. Characters now already say 185/200 I think.
Kai Nui
Yeah, because you haven't done both of your 15 point attribute quests...
Mercury Angel
I'd imagine the characters will be flagged as Prophecies and Factions secretly (not just which one you're currently in), and that Factions will include it's own +15 attribute point quests, with both possessing a check to see if you've already done the other chapter's version. Either that, or you'll be able to do both, and the points will simply cap at 200 anyway (Like being healed for more than your max health; Everything extra is just lost.).

I guess the question is: Will GW:Factions only characters be able to obtain 200 attribute points? In Prophecies we get 170 points from leveling and 30 from the 2 ascention required quests. If factions has someting like that will Propheicies characters be able to get them also making us have 230, and will this mean that we, that have both accounts become overpowered?
But then again why not, I bought both games, I added the key, I sacrificed the extra slots. If I am willing to grind through both games why should I get a benifit from it? Why not, if I keep Diana Dragonhart for chapters 20 or beyond, should I not eventually be able to max out all skill attributes?
Lets face it, we kind of have that now. A person that has enough xp, skillpoints and money can buy all the skills for one character.

You wont be able to max all skill attributes. I am 100% sure it will cap at 200.
Vilaptca
I'm going to have to agree with Mandy on this.
It will just have a cap. They probably will have the quests, and you can go do them, but you won't get 230, you'll be capped at 200, and all you'll get is the xp reward.
For all we know, they may even make it that you can't get the quest because you already have 200 att points, it will be like talking to the other NPCs for these quests, if you aren't elligible to receive them, they'll tell you. If you already have 200 att points, they'll probably let you know that you are already at your full potential and they can't help you get any higher.

Since we're guessing anyways, I suspect that the new tutorial area in factions will be inaccessible to characters made in Chapter 1. Since all the shared material is likely intended for level 20 characters with maximum attributes, then in the new tutorial area, it should be possible to "ascend" and become level 20 with 200 attribute points.

I'm sure it'll be like Mercury said, you will get all the rewards for completing the quest other than the 15 attribute points.

Ya I'm wondering what the storyline will be for Factions version of ascension and I'm also wondering if there will be something similar to infusion for the last missions. Infusion is only there just to be a hassle anyway, so hopefully not. I don't want to have to double infuse every time I go buy a new piece of armor.

There won't have to be infusion if there's no Mursaat using that blasted skill....

I strongly doubt the ch2 equivalent to pre-searing will allow you to reach lvl 20 and 200 attribute, though, as that'd mean the Cantha area available to ch1 chars will be miniscule, while the ch2 chars will have free range of the whole post-sear Tyrian continent.
How they'll make it so that the whole of Cantha isn't explored & exploited by maxed-out lvl 20 chars from ch1 before the first ch2 char has even left the tutorial area, remains to be seen.
