Your party contains a member from a disallowed campaign.

LOL. That would be sweet if that were true. Anyways, does anyone here have the exact wording on the "100%" comment from Anet? Technically, from what I've read and experienced so far, Anet has sort of fulfilled their promise. Before I'm crucified for saying that, take this into consideration:

If you start a character in Tyria, then you do get 100% from both campaigns. Cantha based characters however do not get 100% access (as we've been discussing). Did Anet ever actually say that 'Canthan' made characters in specific would have access to 100% across the board? Or did they mean to say 100% to both campaigns in general (as in account based). Of course if this is correct, then their wording is horrid and probably should have been clarified from the getgo. Also, the comment would have been under the false assumption that all Factions purchasers already owned Prophecies to achieve the full '100%'.

I can't imagine Anet would take back a feature like this without notifying us, or straight up lie. I think this boils down to what Anet meant vs what Anet actually said...

Guess you missed the point, nothing sneaky about it.

All I'm saying is that we have 100% content now as is, period, end of discussion.
Now, there is extra area we can explore. If you wish that EXTRA area to be opened up to do the missions and quests, feel free to make suggestions of course, but just because someone says we don't have 100% content doesn't make it so.
As always, if someone makes a game, we have choices, don't play any more, play as is, or make suggestions that we think will make it better.
So nothing in my post is flaming, just stating facts and hoping people continue to post suggestions they wish implemented.

actually i was told that factions was a stand alone game...

it might expand on some stuff in tyria, but that doesnt make it an expansion. i think that you being able to do some the tyria stuff aswell is more of a bonus. and offcourse some people really do read the lore and might get upset if things were different

Actually if you start a characer in Tyria, you do NOT get to do all the stuff in Cantha, there are areas blocked to you, just FYI.

The Titan Quests were added on :-)

I think it could be a continuation of the original story, not the same missions/level of monsters. Taking back Ascalon would be an interesting take for those that own both. You get the mission area content (albeit at a higher level), same maps, same monsters just higher level, but the story would reflect that you came to Ascalon, not run with your tail between your legs from Ascalon :-) It is the same story, just shifted to the right on the timeline a bit as opposed to the left with pre-sear and early ascalon. After all, Ascalonians ran from the Charr so they have already accepted the fate of Ascalon. Canthans on the other hand may have something else in mind. In the end you would have 25 missions/25 bonuses, plus the quests and story for that part (though updated to reflect your entry-point into the scheme of things).

The Deldrimore Dwarves still need to drive the Stone Summit from the northern shiverpeaks right? :-) No need for new maps, monsters, items, etc (content). Just new scripts (or whatever they use for the story progression/mob locations/levels during quests/missions).

Of course its all speculation.

Here's your badge Masseur.

and what would stop my Ascalonians from returning later to kick back the char allong with the cantas? the map would be working strange, or even better it wouldnt work

I don't know what everybody is complaining about. I happen to know that the pre-LA missions are the ELITE missions that only a select few will be able to access. I just got done, and whew !! what a challenge !!!!

Way to go ANet.

/sarcasm off

Yeah, I agree. It doesn't matter that some think the missions are easy or unrewarding. The fact of the matter is it's a part of the game some people like playing through, and would like an opportunity to do so with the two new character classes. Since A or Rt cannot be created in Tyria, this means that they cannot do quests/missions before LA. Even if a lot of people may find those missions and quests to be boring, many people still feel jipped to have a part of the game they thought they had access to blocked off.

I'd suggest you protect your nuts.

I think the larger issue is merely that ArenaNet seems to be restricting content fairly arbitrarily. I understand the why, but it doesn't make a lot of sense as these things go. People ascend at level two sometimes, which makes no sense, but it's "allowed" anyway.

If there's nothing that's actually going to crash the game, why not let players play in those areas with Canthan characters? Sure, the story doesn't make sense, but so what? These are players who are pretty knowingly doing weird stuff.

For instance, Assassins could end up stuck in weird places in Tyria by teleporting. Well, so be it.

I see a lot of... they might do this or maybe later this will happen... bottom line, if the game wasnt complete when released, they shouldnt have released it. You all ever see that game Horizons? Came out without half the characters and lvls etc. It flopped, as it should have. Anet put factions out too fast, and the things you expect to be able to do, you cant. And when somebody says 100%, that doesnt mean from LA on, that means the whole damn thing. All the talk about Anet changing this, to this point is speculation. Fact is, right now we didnt get 100%. Im also not sure what some of you are smoking, but Anets opinion doesnt mean jack sh!t to me, its the gamers opinion that counts. No gamers=no GW. Personally, I would have rather seen Anet add a few new areas into prophecies and work on factions some more.

you got 100% of the stuff they wanted you to have

this being a online game, and maybe there ARE some people who take a closer look to story and lore, and those people might be really bothered to see assassins, who shouldnt be there, running all over the place. so yes i see why they put in restrictions. i aint happy with it, but i aint gonna cry about it either

Hmmm I like that, 100% of what they wanted me to have lol. Just a thought... $50, for 2 char slots(combined) and I cant play all missions on both sides? Im thinking thats just a bit to much money.

Don't know about you but I can play all missions on both sides. Sure there are extra missions and stuff I can't do for a Cantha character on Tyria and vice versa, but I'll take 100% content, I dont' need more than that.

My assassin is ascended. That is definately done. This makes sense to me; when you land in tyria you're sorta half-way through the storyline. Doesn't make much sense going back and being treated like an ascalonian. Much like how tyrians can't go back and do the earlier canthian missions

All chars should be able to do all missions.

Do you like leaving things un-done? Merged content should not mean less content. this is a deal breaker issue for me... I WANT MY $ BACK or i want to be able to do all missions with all chars.
