Something to look forward to for PvE players at last!

I just wonder how you're going to show those titles those. There doesn't seem to be much space available as it is in the interface. Perhaps a "/title" command? It might end up being abused though, just like people who CTRL-click spam

But how it will look like in other people's screen, no one knows yet. 5 1/2 days to go!!!

Nope, my only wish for factions (well, 2 wishes) is that my pre-order kit will get here in time, and my CE will get here in time. And I'm afraid those aren't answered in your link.

We've given players more choices about the appearance of their armor even if they want particular stats.

This I find the most interesting sentence.

Confirmations? Denials? Further speculations anyone?!?

I'm guessing that as they are probably testing on a different server from the main game that they have their own little testers guild ladder, these are probably the top ones on that ladder. As the trims were not for winning the title but for being the top 8 on the ladder.

They always said that content needs to be purchased, while new feature's are for everyone. Pretty sure you dont need Factions for this.

Not really. My understanding of what has been said is that 1v1 will be for alliance and guildies to practise. Therefore if you want to go 1v1 you, or annoy FoW armoured player, will have to issue a guest invite.

Either we're going to get the same "one-skin for each Faction" deal like FPE or that we can custom-pick at purchase. Since I highly doubt ANet would go through the trouble of implementing the latter, the former is probably the case... so I'm going to be Luxon most of the time and change to Kurzicks once I'm ready to go shopping! xD

I think Guild changes are across the board, since there will be members who won't have one certain campaign than the rest of the guild's members.

In the face of immense anti-PvE-title voices, they still brought it in... at least they aren't XP based, but meh.

Looks like some pretty cool stuff is gonna be in Factions

Guild scrimmage is the best they did to the game until now, expect alot of guilds will float on the surface and put themselves among the ranked guilds.

GvG and HA matches will be more challenging and more fun.

Noob era will be be end soon for the most and no one will say again he can't be exp enough to play in HA or with his m8s in GvG.

so pvp'ers have something cool and visual and all we get is some crappy title we can only see ourselves or spam up 'im the kings whatever' which means nothing to anyone and certainly has no wow factor. good job again

Agreed. Finally something about Factions that is actually simply exciting, not a mixture of exciting and worrisome.

I love the guild scrimmage feature.. which means you can get your own guild members and test builds right? Sounds GREAT.

Heh, really looking forward to some nice Guild Scrimmages when Factions is released.
I'm guessing it will take a while before someone figures out a succesful 1v8 scrimmage build though
