Again, contains subjects mostly known to us already, although possibly things new to others.

The article also confirms that towns (doesn't give specifics, as in half, all, a few towns, etc) that get captured will be EXCLUSIVE to the alliance that has control over it.

In my opinion, I'm not a big fan of this decision, as not only will we be having faction battles, but inner-faction battles as well, which makes it a bit more tough for guildless people, but seeing a recent picture posted (either here or another forum, dont recall) it seems that you can spend your faction points to take away a town controlled by someone else, so guildless/lower ranked guild members, dont worry, it should work out =-).

The vids ands screens are nice. One of the vids has the "male rit dance", one word: Broadway...

added: For anyone else that missed dance vids. The male assassin dance is more complete at this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...=134111&page=3
and also the female rit dance as well.
(just scroll down to where a mod posted vid links)

Yes, most people already know. Being as GW is one of the biggest game of 05, imo, its hard not to.

This is more for the new prospects for the game.

Oh good link, looks like GW is being updated to Direct X 9

The graphics engine from Guild Wars has been enhanced to provide full DirectX9 support if you have a DX9 card, but the big news is that the level designers and artists have been able to realize some pretty amazing vistas.

It's actually a take on a dance by 'Napoleon Dynamite', a nerdy character in the film of the same name. It make me /doubletake hat's for sure.

Big dragon is Unyiaenale or something. Personally I think they should've named him Rodgort.

Is that right?

Quote:

Guild alliances, which are alliances of up to 10 guilds each, will be able to fight battles for either the Kurzick or Luxon empires.

So its 10 guilds and not 10 players in a group?

That is a MIGHTY big Alliance. Especially if each guild carried 50 players.

I personally get the idea Rodgort (Trogdor) is a 'God' or something like that in the game, I mean he does have his own spells :P

.. if an alliance consists of up to ten guilds, and only -that- alliance is allowed to engage in those special elite missions when it takes control of a city, and possession is redrawn only once a day.. ?

How will small-time players be able to enjoy these things?

Or am I misunderstanding this?

They won't. Why would they? The incentive is, the more time and effort you put into the game, the more rewards you will recieve in turn. small-time players will get small-time rewards. Is this not fair?

Which is what I was thinking, although I saw a picture from the backstage event, and it looks like if some alliance from your faction owns a town or outpost, you can spend your personal faction points to buy out/take away/share (picture wasn't clear on which of the three) the city with the alliance too, so it will be pretty cool I think.

So for example then, your sided with the Luxons, and an alliance from the Luxons have control of a particular town. When you click on the briefing of that town, it says you need X amount of faction to gain control. You spend the faction required, then you can also have access to the town.

It sounds like a pretty good concept to me, and will make use of your faction points with the Kurzicks or Luxons. Hopefully my thoughts prove correct. We'll hopefully see next week, in the beta event =-).
