.ok thanks man.Any1 else got tips maybe on how i should start.What character type i should use like warrior,monk etc etc?

character class would really be just up to what you want to use. All character classes shine in their own ways.

I'd say start with a ranger. They are pretty fun to play with, you should really get into the game before playing as a monk.

I agree with sn0w on the monk part. As for starting with a ranger thats totally up to you. I did and ya they're pretty fun.

whats harder with the monk?? j.w.Allso whats better p2e(enviroment) or p2p(player)?

necro/monk is a good starting char as they can be offensive and defensive

best to start by do PVE first then moving onto PVP when you have a good understanding of the skills involved ect

monks are harder because they are the most in demand char in the game and ppl expect monks to heal/rez/prot at the same time

Start out with PvE first, in order to learn the game, skills, professions etc. After completing that, you can move into PvP, however there is still huge amounts to learn from forums, random arenas, etc. There are players who play restrictively pve or pvp, some that play both... up to preference.

Monk is somewhat harder because groups rely on you heavily, if you can't keep people up effectively it's more noticeable than if you can't nuke effectively or whatever (in that people start dying, and whining about the monk).

I'd avoid the assasin class at first, too. There's lots of people out there who've gotten a lot of experience playing GW with other characters in Prophecies but are having a hard time getting the knack of playing the Assassin role. (Although that's not true for every assasin)

I think ranger is a really good 1st profession, the learning curve isn't steep & it's lots of fun to play.

ok thanks all.For some reason as my computer isnt that great it will only play the pvp at the moment and wont play the pve.the pvp is still lagging and impossible to play but a person is looking at my computer tomoz(friday) and is ordering all the parts that day,hopefully all installed by monday then il have to meet up wid u lot

Yeah, get more RAM and better graphics card if possible.

PvE is good fun, and in Factions PvE and PvP works hand in hand.

If your going to PvP, I suggest keeping to the Random Arena for now. Till you get use to the game.

yer the person whos looking at my computer he like builds he own and gets all cheap stuff etc and i told him i need about 1gb ram of as i have 224 atm lmao graphics card takes 32 mb and its a really old graphics card.Im hoping to get a geforce one but herd they have been messing up alot l8ly were lines go down your screen etc.so if i get 1gb ram and a 124 mb gfx card or 256 mb card hopefully it willrun smooth alongwith counter strike source,dod source and half life 2 deathmatch that i bought and carnt play lmao.

A monk is not hard, it's just boring and you see nothing but red bars the whole time.

If you looking for cheap and ok preformance. Then go for:

At least 1GB RAM


And Don't get a GeForce 1, they are older then the Queen of England. Get a GeForce 6600GT or even the cheaper 6600 card. Both are really cheap and give ok peformance.

Oh and CS: Source sucks

nooo i ment as in get a geforce 1 as in get a geforce graphics card like 1 of them lol i dont know much about hardware tho lol.I have £400 to spend on parts

ah then I'd recommend the following sites:

overclockers.co.uk
ebuyer.co.uk
microdirect.co.uk

They are great sites to get cheaper cheaper hardware. £400 should provide you with a lot of good parts.

Well this bloke i know whos about 25 or sumin builds his own computers and gets all the parts cheap and stuff.Hes coming round tomoz and hes gona order everything i need like new fans,gfx card,ram maybe new motherboard and then insatll it all for me.Hopefully it will be asap lol i carnt wait to play gw.

o yer i got another question.On pve is it true that you and other players online go against monsters etc or is it just u against monsters like a normal game were u play on your own?

PVE can be you and computer controlled henchmen vs monsters, or it can be you and a team of other people vs the same same monsters. The choice is yours. Of course, if you really want a challenge, it can be just you vs the monsters also.
