It will stay greyed out after this weekend untill you buy faction.

The real question is whether you can keep the items found in the "new underworld" entrance in the Tombs that everyone is talking about.

LET THE FARMING COMENCE!

Does the ecto you found stack with any old Ecto? If so, I don't see how they could "grey" these items out. Same with any gold that you find.

Oh my I earned some faction. Must wash hands - feel dirty..

Raiin Maker · Jan 19, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

do you think the new updates will stay?

i hope the loading screen stays, its loads better than the old one, and i love the black... how about the new area's?

what are your ideas?

Quite probably the new "PvP Islands"/map will be the future of PvP from now on. Loading screen, character creation etc. will probably all stay as well.

The preview will be of the new classes Ritualist and Assassin, and their skills and weapons, and maybe preview of new weapons etc. I'm guessing all those will be for the weekend only. Don't take my word for it though, am just guessing based on the update notes

i hope your right, the best thing for a game IMO is an interface update, as its the one thing you see all the time.

i totaly love the new loading screen, and think its the best thing since sliced bread. totaly cant wait for factions now, but i'll be playin guild wars for a long time too

i may be wrong but i have never knowingly given out incorrect information.

here tis from the GW site itself.

If I unlock Assassin or Ritualist skills during the Guild Wars: Factions Global Free-For-All PvP Weekend, will I be able to keep them?

Yes, you will keep the Assassin and Ritualist skills that you unlock during the event. They will remain in your skill listing, but they will be inactive until you acquire the retail version of Guild Wars: Factions. On the other hand, the things you acquire on your normal retail account -- Faction Points, Fame, increases in Rank, Guild Wars Ladder ratings -- would remain on your account.

items are up for grabs as they will decide

Xenrath · Jan 19, 2006, 07:17 PM // 19:17

I'm pretty convinced the new interface etc is definately going to stay - if you create a new PvE character you get to choose which Campaign/Chapter you want to start with, and for "Factions" it says "Coming soon Spring" or something... that alone tells me the new interface is permanent (unless they patch it/change it some more in future)

Woutsie · Jan 19, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Another build is available. Restart GW

edit
FOW/UW are fixed!!!!

Dahnel · Jan 19, 2006, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Mavrik · Jan 19, 2006, 07:26 PM // 19:26

Gonna have to log in at my lunch break and see what happens. wish I could go home early tonight to lol, can't... boss won't let me.

The Isle of the Nameless is awesome!!

It teaches about Aoe, Conditions, Hexes, How to capture a flag, repair a catapult, damage vs 60 armor, vs 80 armor, vs 100 armor.

Next to each major NPC is a Master of Wind who casts windborne speed on you so you can run around the island faster ^^

You can practive vs different masters:
master of healing = practice monk killing (alesia skin)
master of hexes = me/n killing (DUNHAM WITH LIFE TRANSFER OMG!!!!!)
master of energy denial = Me/R (energy stealing along with QZ....WTF?)
master of lightning = Air Spike
master of survival = R/N with melandru's resilience o.O;
master of hammers = o.o holy crap its Haversdan!!
master of axes = warrior with new armor

Question regarding the Runes that were posted here. The swordamnship rune, for example, says does not stack.
I know runes do not stack.
However does this change with armor? example: an executioners helm +1 and a superior axe mastery +3 would be a +4 to axe skills. Does this still apply? or does the non stack prevent this? Or was this just to remind us that Runes do not stack?

theclam · Jan 19, 2006, 07:34 PM // 19:34

If you haven't seen this, go to the Zaishen Mission, it lets you select an enemy team to face. You can even fight IWAY

.

Hailfall · Jan 19, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

Hmm the new UW is difficult.. or well the UW in Tombs is difficult..

pappayaponta · Jan 19, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

OHHHHHHH YEEEEEESSSS!!!!! If you scroll down at the PvP weapon list when you make a new PvP character you can see assasin and ritualist weapons. And on the assasin weapons it says: Both handed AND WE GOT DUAL-WIELD YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

tuperwho · Jan 19, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Got a question: How do you actually beat the Zaishen Challenge? I know it says in the update notes that you beat 5 challenges. But anyone figure out what exactly does this, to unlock Zaishen Elite?

I let it randomly choose my arenas and opponents.... out of 7 battles, I beat 5.... 1 in each arena, but it kept spawing the IW and Obs. Flame teams for me to crush. So 5 victories and no dice on the next mission.

So, anyone figure out if you have to beat 5 different teams in 5 different arenas, or what's the key here?

Morangen · Jan 19, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

I think the servers are struggling. Clicked on the game icon and it started the first part of the download, but not its trying to connect to anet and not doing a very good job of it. And I was so looking forward to exploring the new areas.

Oh well. Guess I get to do that after work.

snapp · Jan 19, 2006, 07:39 PM // 19:39

not to mention Gaile Gray is in LA I1

Yep, first you boat travel to batlhazar palace and go in to the isle of th nameless, once you are there you take the q from the guide and starts the challange. Win all the battles that you coem to then travel to random maps and win five in a row, and then, you got your zaishen elite challange! GAHHHH ITS REALLY HARD!!!!

pappayaponta · Jan 19, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42
