A.NET You Getting This?

I know a lot of people are content with factions but many others including me expected a lot more than just 2 new classes and more content with weapons and armours ect. Sure I enjoy having more but one of the most important things you should be doing now is improving the game with features we need, not some dumb henchman talking to himself, thats something you wasted time on when ther're more critical things to improve, such as alliances, elite missions, henchmen AI and skill set. You've really dissapointed a lot.When I bought the game I played it for like 3 days and got so tired because I do not want to keep repeating gay content over and over again. Also with the biggest GW fansite ranting like crazy they really do have to change this stuff and also include the things that are needed such as auction houses, more storage,and buyable character slots.
Gaile Gray and Alex Weekes and all staff can say well its coming out soon but really how soon I hope it isnt as messed up as you Collectors Edtion ordeal.

I really want to see the communitys opinion about all this.


I will also add things that people think need to improve or add to the game just post it.

I Belive there's a rant on unsatisfaction on Factions as it is.

If you look at this part of the forum all you see is people disgruntled with factions because there is so much that should be corrected.

another part of factions i hate is the stupid drop systems. Also if Guild Wars Factions promised to be all about skills. Why the hell, do i see more peoples buying 15k armors in Cantha, collecting new greens and gold items and selling them for insane amount of golds or even ebay them. Not to mentioned the mini pet craze we got right now.

GG A-Net for making this game part of "Collect Them All" mentality instead of focusing on better story line, fighting mechanics, and maybe.. decent AI. There should have been more added into factions (i know its asking for alot) but seriously, this isn't much different from original GW. All you get is one new race (ritualist don't count), a decent storyline. But the overall missions, quests have been stretch out too far. You have to go long distant back and forth to get it done. Not to mention going to mulitple zones to reach to the destination than having to fight all the way back for the rewards.

If GW: Chapter 3 is like this, i might as well, sit back and wait it out like i did with the original guild wars. Too much are being repeated in factions that its getting boring after you beat the game once.

So more char slot, auction house and better hench would make you happy?

You cant expect Guild Wars to be detailed like WoW. Guild Wars is NOT pay to play(p2p), so they dont have money to do everything.

This is starting to be a new "Battlefield 2" forums.. If anyone was watching BF2 forums when it came out, you know what i mean

One thing that springs to mind is that if people LIKE something in factions the majority of the time they don't say it because they want to see what else is good. If they dont like something they stop playing and complain about it. So fact of the matter is that the good stuff in factions far outweighs the bad. Anet have made a GREAT game in a single year of development and have improved upon most of the faults made in the first game.
The amount of moaners in the guild wars community astounds me.

I'd like to congratulate everyone on the design team for an outstanding job.

I've taken my part in the hate before, but [so far], I've found nothing to really complain about.

What I have seen, I like. Now, mind you, I'm still really early in the game, but I'll let you know when I find something I dislike!

As for the "collect them all" craze: it doesn't effect you, so don't worry about it. A lot of people (like me) actually want cool stuff like this, so putting that as a "complaint" isn't really helping!

and 15k armor and pets give you an advantage over other players how?

well, it doesn't. Guess, i was just venting out since i ain't getting anything good from drops for a long time.

He is just jealous

ANet's adjustments are all based on rants just like this thread.

Rant: Weapon drops suck, perfect items are too expensive.
Answer: Increase quality of gold, perfect gold items drop more.
New Rant: Gold Weapons drop too much, depreciating price.

Rant: PvE is too Easy
Answer: Add more mobs, overlapping patrols, more diversity
New Rant: PvE too hard (or still too easy)

So lets keep ranting, let them answer and find more stuff to rant about. ^_^

I disagree, seeing as theyve only had about a year i think theyve done extremely well. Id like to see you make a game as good as this in that time

a merchant for upgades would free up 2 of my charters slots -)

and yes an auction house would be great.

There's always room for improvements, but I think Anet has done very well for the 12 months they had. Factions is a wonderful success.

factions *is* stand alone, in its own right, just as prophesies is...

last week i bought the Weeping Stone guildhall....i have factions, my friend does not...i told him to try taking a look at the hall (he has WoW addiction, but managed to drag himself off it for 5 mins to log in and see the hall)

he saw the hall.....he does not have faction, but he STILL got to see the hall...

realy, you CAN play ether game alone...it just gives you other extra stuff if you add the two together....

as to the gota collect'em all.....well, what did you expect? theres bugger all they CAN give us that wont affect PvP in SOME way....collectable pets are about one of the few things they CAN give us.
we cant have homes or armour or wepons or skills ect, because they are supposedly going to imbalance pvp some way...(yeah, yeah,,15k stuff ect, heard it all, even the no to this PvE only item casue titakes time away from making PvP only stuff argument)

give it time, people....sure, theres areas of the game that suck....theres areas of Chap1 that STILL suck monkey droppings, a whole YEAR after going live....
just give them time to come down from their caffine high induced coma from the crammig they had to do to get the game out there last minute...
i mean, almost every time i log onto the game, theres some kinda update uploading, even if its just one measly little file

Well it's not like you're PAYING for the fixed bugs and features that are added which should have been in the initial release. Unlike a few games which everyone knows about.

I played it for the first week and now I'm so bored of it. There are too many things wrong with Faction. I loved GWP tho, the stories had alot of twist, it was a fun and an immersive game, it kept me interested for months. I still go back to do Tomb runs instead of staying in Cantha.

GWP fun for me was the farming, there are many aspect of the game and even tho alot of people is against, there are a large population of farmers that is turned off to faction. People farm Tombs, UW, FoW, Ettins, Hydra, Griffons, imps & Trolls because it gave them an edge with rune, weapons and gold drop. In a so-call balanced game, its fun to have a little edge with finding rare drops or having gold to buy anything, its very satisfying to find good drops.

But with Faction and Anets constant nerfing of farmers, it really turned off alot of RPG players to this game. Don't flame me for this, but I personally think the 55 monk/necro build was awesome. I personally loved my 55 necro and farm alot with her. But as the nerf bat came, my interest in this game started dropping quick. Farming in Cantha is next to impossible. RPG aspect is Fedex quest.

Anyway, I like to RP & Farm....Faction is lacking in these category. I paid my $50 for it already and I'm regretting wasting any more money on GW. As for Chapter 3, there's no way in hell I'm getting.

Faction has destroyed the GW title.

my 2 cent.

Ok, I really feel this needs to be said. The game was BOUGHT and PAID for by everyone who owns guildwars prophecies and factions. Paying to play was intended for server support, additional features as the game progressed, and greedy companies. It was ANet's decision to make this game stand out and have it free to play online. This is the companies decision and in no way should be used as an excuse to develop a poor game (not my belief that it is poor :P).

If people are not content with the game as is, then let them be! They have a *right* to do so. Imagine if there was no pay to play ever invented, then the customer has more rights to complain? No, if a customer is unsatisfied then I believe they have a right to voice it. I don't speak on behalf of anyone, but I feel that being happy with what you have gotten is a poor psycology when a new game is bought (it HAS been payed for).

I am sorry to say this, but just because I offer you a coffee for 20 cents and give free refills. If the coffee sucks, I honestly cannot say that, "hey! im giving free refills". Although its a poor analogy (I admit) I still think that some complaints are warranted, so please stop trolling around about a game you like enforcing others to like it too.

It IS great that you don't have to pay to play, but I did not buy this game for that reason alone, people expect quality.

ok guys, enough with the back and forth flaming.

There are just too many mistakes that A-Net, i do like the new armors style, weapons, and mini pets. But what i hates is the braindead AI (again just like original GW) the long-winded quests and missions. I would imagine later on, we'll have patches to fix these problems (again with time concern) i bet A-Net don't have times to test out all aspects within this game. I would still rate the original as the best online game that i ever played out there.

Can anyone answer this for me, why did A-Net rolled out with the new greens right now as oppose of making new areas (such as TOPK, SF) later on in Cantha?

The bugs in Prophecies on release were equally daunting, if not more so. Please, don't complain.... don't even get me started on Beta XD
