I'm feeling a bit worried about the upcoming expansion. Why? Well me beeing a noob and my friend that I play with beeing a lil' lazy i've only gotten to LA, and even now I it's like half runners and half ppl just standing there, when I try to go for mishs. So what's gonna happen after factions? Will all the dists just empty out? Why would anyone ever play the normal campeign again? Except for noobs like me ofc, which there aren't very many of.
So, what do you think will happen?

Different drops/monsters for each chapter,

Str0b0 · Apr 27, 2006, 12:15 AM // 00:15

there will always be people playing through Prophecies. Hell I might even help you out if I happen over that way and I'm bored.

Frankly, I don't know or care. Its never been my place to care about what other people do, let alone the people newer to the game. I really doubt you'll see a massive difference in the first few days, and there will always be people playing the game. The Battlefield 2 demo lived on forever..(still does?) And lots of people still play halo (and the demo) on the verge of Halo 3 being released. People are strange that way..

And Ill be playing GW:P for at least a week after Factions' release..farming, and being too lazy to get to the store anytime soon.

The battlefield 2 demo was still going strong the last time I played it last week. I daresay I like it a lot better than the actual game (i tried it at my friend's house).

don't feel worried at all!!! The smart players will hang back in Proph. for a bit.
Over the next couple of weeks there are gonna be tons of updates, price fixes you name it. Best to just watch from distance, then go in like gangbusters.

Ravex · Apr 27, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

halo 3? no.. the last thing i heard it was'nt even being worked on (i dont believe that but ime sure that means it wont come out in 2006 maybe not even 2007

Bill Gate said himself they would release halo to combat the release of ps3.

Expect it at the same time. Even though I don't know why. Unreal is so much better.

Nater · Apr 27, 2006, 05:17 AM // 05:17

Umm..

Won't there be 1000's of Assassins and Ritualists going through Prohphecies?

natuxatu · Apr 27, 2006, 05:17 AM // 05:17

I agree and while i can't control myself sometimes it's best to take it slow the first couple of weeks or you're bound to get angry over some fix or another... I also know some people who order Factions and are going to get Prophieces later so it might for a few weeks get a little more sparce but it will go back to normal once the hype fades and people choose which and what they like best.

how can you compare such different styles of FPS is beyond me

NOOB

anyway, i think things will stabilize in say 1-2 weeks, when most of the people wouldve played a fair bit in Cantha, some of them might go finish business in Tyria. if it doesnt work out this way, sorry Anet, but you suck severely

PS btw we noobs ought to stick TOGETHA

NOOBZ UNITE!!!11

Rayinzar · Apr 27, 2006, 09:22 AM // 09:22

Well my friend just bought a game, so I've restarted

And my main character still isn't finished

Anyway, all those people that buy factions as their first GW game, will undoubtedly come this way too.

Add Counterstrike to the list of old games still being played in a big way

fb2000 · Apr 27, 2006, 09:54 AM // 09:54

there will be always players that stick to their old games, instead of picking up the new sequel... take counterstrike as an example if you wish, tho i think Quake or Unreal would be a much-better example : there are still MANY hardcore players of Quake 1 (a bit modded hto, its QuakeWorld, but basically except some gameplay changes i think its the same technology-wise), there are even competitions, mapping challenges, even a steady stream (ok, smaller htan newer games, but yet existant) of game footage vids. and at the same time theres Quake 4. people just like playing what they like ;P

which is a different matter in GW, as Factions is not a new game, rather an Expansion, and as such itd be quite interesting to see how Anet handles with lots of conflicting points

So why play GW at all?

Fortunately there are people who play this game who like to help out...

Anyway sno0zer, what server are you on? I would be happy to pop along and help you out in a few missions. PM whenever you need help.

Kabale · Apr 27, 2006, 11:12 AM // 11:12

Counter-Strike is possibly going to live forever

I was surprised how much fun it still is after not picking it up for about 2 years and still being able to wtfpwn with colt gg

So, what do you think will happen?

nope, everyone's gonna leave this campaign for Factions ...
of course all ppl still in Tyria ll be kicked out and servers closed, keeping only those who paid for the addon

cmon ... dont be scare for nothing lol, those place are just different, maybe the first few days everyone ll want to see the zones, then things should be back to normal, Cantha isnt BETTER it's just DIFFERENT

Bastard Son · Apr 27, 2006, 12:00 PM // 12:00

A lot of people aren't even planning to buy Factions... at least not for a while. I remember seeing a thread about this, but am too lazy right now to look for it. At any rate, I'm one of those people. I don't plan to get Factions anytime soon as I don't feel like I'm close to being fulfilled by Prophecies (by that, I just mean I feel like there is so much more to do that I haven't done yet).

I don't think you'll have any trouble finding people.

Kern Wolf · Apr 27, 2006, 01:18 PM // 13:18

Plenty of people will still play Prophecies....

Macktar Wang · Apr 27, 2006, 03:55 PM // 15:55

Especially with the increase in rare drops and the new PvE titles. I know a lot of people, including myself, that need to redo several missions to get the 100% map uncovered. Although I will be running through most of this, I'll probably have to "do" the mission on some of the later ones, just to make sure I survive long enough to map the area.
