Prophecies > Factions?

Obviously the answer is yes...to most...

Im actually finding myself halfway through factions campain and going back to tyria. I went and made a mesmer and im playing her through prophecies INSTEAD of factions...It was so rushed! I think the storyline has some life but the way you have to play it through is boring. The only think im finding good about factions is my super secret 55 spot. I mean if 1 farming spot is all i can find good about the entire chapter something is wrong. Waste of money?, VERY likely.

Well i take that back...15k mesmer kurzick armor IS hot.

Coments welcome

Personally i think the opposite, Prophecies took far too long to get to the lvl 20 content, i found all before droks forge a snooze, and then i had about 6 missions, here i have 10 lvl 20 missions to play, much more land and mobs, i much prefer it


ritualist rules btw

Actually I'm finding myself very involved with the Luxon vs Kurzick thing and its made Factions quite enjoyable to me. I like that you get level 20 so quickly in order for most of it to be high level content and that PvP and PvE are more intertwined than before. Alliances have added a great aspect to the game and I have enjoyed the community that my alliance has provided.

Although Prophecies is a great game, I think I might like Factions more; this might be partly just because it's new.

Perhaps you should be having fun with the game rather than repeating the same crap over and over? That's probably why you don't enjoy it...

I think that if you get into the role-playing aspect and enjoy both PvP and PvE then Factions will be very fun. If all you're interested in is farming or if you wither and die at the first sign of competition then you probably won't.

though I do not like being rushed through missions or failing (like the palace mission for example)

I have to say for me IMO the Cantha side has 5938475089273459078349823908475 times the appeal of the bland Tyian side.

Oh and.....DIE FARMERS DIE!!!!

Im too young to die.

I much much prefer Factions over Prophecies. Prophecies was way too long and drawn out to me. If it werent for the fact that you could run the damn thing, I would have never gotten my third character through.

im having a hard time getting through factions it just hasnt been very enjoyable to me

i have also found myself spending much more time in tyria then the newer much smaller continent

By the way...arent there already at least two other Factions vs Prophecies threads out there?

Probably.

have you bothered reading titles before posting???

offtopic: YEEEEEY SANCHO PANZA!!!!!

To most who take the time to post on this forum perhaps.

The sales figures suggest to me that the most on this forum is the minority opinion.

Of course, I might be biased by the fact that I like Factions a great deal more than Prophecies in almost every aspect. I like to think that means something coming from someone who enjoyed Prophecies a great deal. It's been a great deal easier to convince my previously uninterested friends to give Guild Wars a chance since Factions, and I always recommend that they get Factions first and go back for Prophecies later if they end up liking it.

Sales figures don't mean anything in terms of how many like the game vs. how many don't. You have to buy the game first to figure that out.

me > all

Prophecies IMO is way better than factions. I love the fact that you dont get to lvl 20 quickly. Factions is just like BOOM straight in there with the lvl 20 enemies who are crusin' for a brusin', or the other way around :S. And also the factions storyline kinda sux epescially at the end. At least prophecies sums it all up for you.

This is a serious question; do not take it as bait. This is something I'm missing and am asking for a pointer. What Luxon vs Kurzick war? Are you refering to the Jade/Aspen missions or simply the story line? And I've seen little point in alliances other than massive farming organizations. - I've got a great alliance and have made new friends in them, but there seems little point to them other than for farming faction points all day. Again, seriously looking for personal input on these issues and personal point of views. I'm obviously missing something there.

hehe agree with you there, though the PvE side is not too shaby (could use some work still) but it's not bad and good for some laughs and fun. I don't like PvP at all, but still find Factions alright and getting better with the additions made.

Still, Prophesies is better IMO. More relaxed and laid back.

it takes up a slot but i have a permanent character in presear to vacation with.

LOL - maybe once I can buy a slot I'll do that... thanks Loviatar - always there to help me out
