What really irks me is that cap sigs are still gonna be 1k per on the old chars and that 180 skills = 180k -_- I dunno about you, but thats alot of money for skills, I can't imagine alot of people having enough to fork over this unless they grind for a while to be able to pay, heck, even though I have the means to get all skills for my char, I can't imagine wasting that much time and not to mention forking over that much dough ^^; I'm probly just gonna stick to the exploration of cantha and tyria part, maybe get another pvp title and improve my rank from 3 to 6.

As for me I was planning on questing/training/capping the new factions skills anyway (on my main) so that title will just be gravy.

*Twitches and grins* I have a strong feeling there will be a epidemic of "factionitis" going around on the 27-28th. A distant relative of "halotwonitis." That caused the mysterious mass absences from school and work on the day Halo 2 was released....hehe, apparently some computer viruses mutate and affect humans....

I kind of wonder if something like that will ever go into effect over here in the US. . . . I know I'm going to be skipping out on school on the 27th for the head start event.

From the sounds of it it's not really "guild storage". It just means Player X can access his own storage. Player Y couldn't put something in a guild-wide storage so that Player X could withdraw it later. So not really "guild storage" from the sounds of it. Priest of Balthazar in Guild Hall is awesome. I hate mapping to randoms to drain faction after a few gvgs.

All of this definitely sounds awesome! I was wondering, however, if these titles based on your exploration would be referring to outposts visited or percentage of the map uncovered. If the former is true...we could see things like "LFR [insert title here]." I hope the latter is true, that way we actually have to fight through explorable areas (or at least run them ourselves) to gain titles based on exploration.

It's partly happening here in the Philippines already, gaming controlled, students checked, but movies? yes even the profs/teachers will let them skip classes (but are expectd to write an essay after).

In 5000k xp you should have enough cash to buy all your skills... or at least the expertise to rapidly make enough.
Moving on: Oh yay... 1v1... pointless imho but whatever.
Rayne Nightfyre
1v1 will be a lot of fun, especially for Mesmers! (Although I see it getting boring after trying it 3-4 times 
) I think it's mainly just an avenue of keeping overconfident guildies in their place.

hah, good one @Rayne!
indeed, that can be one main use of 1v1.

he has tyria 0.4% uncoverd!.. how many outposts in Tyria? 50?.. which would mean that even if he was just at pre-searing it would be 2%.. certainly not fractions of a percentage.
There is no way it would be that accurate if it was just outposts visited! oO
This has just made me think of something else that makes me smile,
There are people I know who say that they will pick a faction and STICK with it... kind of like
" I love Kurzicks and hate luxons I will remain loyal!"
I've always maintained that anyone who thinks like this are idiots for only playing half the game.... now, they will be forced into playing all of the game if they want to get those titles... HAH!

I wonder if they'll be a title based on % of Bonuses unlocked in missions.

Re: Guildstorage speculations.
I doubt the Guild "vault" as they call it would be a set amount of slots for every guild!
I Highly suspect that it would be dependent on how many members you have.. maybe 5 slots per member! question would be what happens when certain member leaves?..
in anycase, I think its very dangerous to speculate on what it might be like at this stage.. Im just happy that some form of guild storage is DEFINATLY coming

An average run through the rockshots, minotaurs and the odd persky scarab outside Augury tends to net about 3k, which will pay for three cap sigs, but will certainly not produce three skill points, so I think XP will the limiting factor on gaining the skill unlock title, not gold.
I am now screeching to a rapid halt on my plan to unlock all of the elite skills before Factions though; with 90 skill points in the bank on my main char I can equate that to about 450,000 XP I'd be wasting, or another 30 skill points. That should be enough SPs to be going on with, but I'll still have to keep up the FoW/UW questing to be able to get every skill in the game on one char. If you have to ask why I'd want to, you probably wouldn't understand anyway

I just realised...
When they announced that Captures of Signet prices were going through the roof I purchased about 30 Sigs... and have only used about 2 of them.
lol...
Wish I had bought more now xD.. but at least I can now reap the reward of taking such an action at the time

1v1 is retarded. I know I won't be participating in it. It's GUILD wars, the game is made for group activity. Not personal activity.

I wasn't at that yet, though. So I got screwed price-wise. A lot of people had already paid a lot more for many, and were also screwed. But I'm sure there were people who were at or around 1k who it worked out perfectly for.

I HIGHLY doubt there are 1000 missions. Maybe 1000 quests, but missions?
As far as I recall it was 14 or something.
However there will be "competitive missions, challenge missions, alliance battles, and elite missions"
