Have you finished Factions already?

Heh. Ive had it since the day before release and my warrior is at Senji's Corner (outpost after second mission) and my assassin is at Zen Dian (or the second mission on the Shing Jea Island, cant remember its name exactly).

I've done all that, but ive been sure to do almost all the quests (at least I did with my assassin) and Ive still got some left over. A lot of my time has been spent doing 12v12 though.

I just got up to the final mission, i think it was alright time for my character, now i just need to get the masters on the mission.

Yes, but I used my lvl 20 warrior who had nothing but the finest/max gear. My new baby assassin is still wandering around the city. When you played prohphecies you didnt start with a know how of the game, or a lvl 20 character with all the trimmings.

My Ranger is up to Raisu Palace, and it wasn't a particularly long journey. I'm happy though, as I don't have assloads of time to play now, so at least I'll be able to get my Ranger, Warrior and Monk through before chapter 3 is out.

2 days with my Tyrian crossover monk. Started out doing all quests, but was quickly led away from that by the sheer fact that they were all irritating to me. Made a new ele, she's at Viznuh, level 20, just have sort of grown bored with it...actually took her into Tyrian and did some Lion's Arch Quests for umm..fun.

Yes, I've complated it already. I'd have to say these missions aside from the ones that depend on another team along with yours have to be the easiest missions I've ever played in GW. Even the final boss was very easy to kill. You could do it in under 2 days if you really ground, and you'd probably have to have a solid amoutn of faction to one side.

I finally finished the main storyline, but only because I switched to my Warrior and went all out, then got a good PUG which went thru 3 missions very fast. The slowest section is getting 10000 faction for one side. My assassin won't make it thru so fast...hard to get in groups now.

ive not completed chapter1 yet and prob never will...reason because i dont need or feel like i have to

prob never complete factions either because of the longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ass missions of going back and forth to this person then another person then back again blah blah once i get to a decent farming/challenging area il stop

Just finished it today, got my 15 k end game armor and phoenix pet.

I kinda rushed through with one Tyrian, but I hardly did anything but primary quests and primary missions. nothing extra... SO I slowed Way way down now. I basically wanted 1 character to be able to go anywhere and do anything with anyone that I wanted to play with and not have to worry about not being able to catch up to them or whatever...

I made a canthan campaign character and got to lev 15 and took it back to tyria to discover that a ton of content is inaccessible??? which is really weird in my book. I mean I own both so I should be able to play missions as whatever I want.

In any case. One of my favorite missions gates of kryta and everything prior it seems, is inaccessible with Canthan characters, and that basically told me to only use Tryian characters from now on. Cause who really cares about the 3 mission bips that you don't have access with them as opposed to the 9 or 10 bips not accessible the other way. so basically Tyrian characters are the way to go. don't even waste your time with a Factions Campaign character, unless you really want to go primary class assassin or Rit at least once. If I understand and believe the information in the cutscene for lions gate where no outsiders are welcome in Shiverpeeks, that would mean its impossible to do anything around Droks either... Or for that matter to get to the fire islands via THK... But I have not cared to find out now that I discovered this travesty. I'll save that particular Revelation for another day.

As to the rest of my characters, I plan on taking my time and doing all the quests and such with them. Basically enjoying the game in my own time. Maybe a mission per sitting. and a handful a quests...

PvP is still very limited, Alliance battles, Fort aspenwood, and Jade Quarry, are kinda ghost towns. especially Fort and Quarry... I figure that will change over time, but ATM people are more interested in exploiting the new stuff or questing on their own... I mean people are going to Cantha using the excellent free collectors or craters there and going back to Tyria and sell that stuff for ungodly amounts of gold... so be it. I tried warning several while I was there but they were unwilling to listen, and got themselves scammed. Of course the Scammer is like STFU man I'm trying to make some gold here. Bah. I give up....

The nice thing in GW is you can walk away from it for a few days or weeks and come back and its no big deal. I figure I will be doing this very soon. as once I play out all the quests on my 2 primaries I will want to wait for a while.

I agree with Ingram. I'm not even going to bother with an assassin or ritualist. I'll just have 1 of each of the original Prophecies professions and maybe get Asn or Rit as a secondary. More game that way.

As for being finished? Nah. Closest character is a monk at Eternal Grove. PvE just seems... dull. Repetitive. Hate to say it, but "tedious" fits too well. I think the henchmen drank too much salt water between Tyria and Cantha, because they got dumbed down quite a bit... that whole 'No Henchie Left Behind' thing probably.

I really wish more folks would play Aspenwood.

EDIT: I do kind of chuckle when someone who only has Factions asks where I got my 15k Wanderer's armor or 15k Drakescale armor. I'll say Citadel or Grotto and when they ask where that is, I say north.

My Assassin is at Raisu and he has done every Canthan and Luxon quest plus a little faction farming (35k donated to alliance - 10k was from preview weekend)

Been playing since the 27th but spent the first 12 hours getting Tengu masks for all 6 characters.

They need to add a quest title.

Edit -

He also has the 70% Cantha Explorer title, having not explored Kurzick area. I also took him over to Tyria, from LA back to Ascalon to see about quests/missions there. And got him to Drok and the desert, did not Ascend him yet though.

Its easy, short, and having everything locked up if you wanted to actually do anything doesnt exactly encourage going slowly.

I've almost finished it.. i'm up to the Keep place in Pongmei Valley.

I've completed it on my Assassin.So much easier compared to Prophecies I think the hardest mission i faced was,well there wasn't one i did them all first or second try.At least in Prophecies you had those really hard missions that you'd be stuck on for days on your first character e.g. Thunderhead. I have one question if i befriend the kurzicks first then befriend the luxons what happens am i friends with both?

on your first character yes. Now people know how to use chars and skills effectively. Imagine if you're with a group totally new to the game, doing a mission like vizunah square!

came out on friday, beat it on sunday...wasnt too terribly hard

i am still waiting for my CE...

took me 32 hours of 8 days to finish factions with a completely new char, i could have done it faster but i pissed around on the starter island for a while with some guildies

i have played maybe 2 hours total in the last week, i'm having a feeding problem with my pc O_O
