Does your Faction Freeze when you unlock everything ? - Guild Wars Forums

Wrath of m0o · Jan 07, 2006, 08:06 PM // 20:06

My Faction is stuck on 288,500 for like the past 3 weeks. Is happened about the same time i unlocked everything for pvp (no pvp char) and completed 10k of faction. Does faction just freeze when you unlock everything or am i just bugged ?

10k Faction is the limit you can hold no matter what amount you have unlocked.

So really, your stuck with earning anymore Faction when you've got 10k Un-Used Faction.

So max is all Skills, Elites, Upgrades, Spells, Enchants, Hexes, Stances, Grips, Hilts, etc all unlocked with 10k Faction.

you can only hold 10k faction.

after you unlock everything it is over.

now go and pvp your brains out for the fun of pvping.

faction is an unlocking TOOL it is not a REWARD

So if i erase a character and start over will the Faction counter start ticking again ? So when everything is unlocked and you get 10k faction..it freezes ?

The faction is per account, not per char. If you want to start the faction ticking again, get a second account

Aaaaw, poor you! Only 288,500 faction! That's a travesty! How bout I lend you my whopping 800?

Seriously though, dood, that's something to be proud of. If it bothers you that much, I'd take Kaguya's advice and get a second account. Anyone know if the price of the game has gone down any in the past 8 and a half months? If it has, I might even buy a second copy.

800??

dude, I think I got, like, 5k just from playing snowball arena.

ps

could anyone tell me how that stuff is earned?
because as I was playing I'd see these numbers float over my head (no, they weren't damage).

When your Team or yourself kills someone.

But each Player only counts once with Faction per death, per round.

So say my team just killed someone, that same person got resurrected, he died again, you wouldn't gain faction unless you VS'd them again in a different round.

On another note, the cap is 10,000 I think because so when Chapter 2 or any other Chapters come out in the Future, people can't get massive headstarts unlocking all the new skills.

faction is like gold.

you have just bought one of EVERYTHING IN THE GAME.

now that you have everything go play with it.

faction is not a reward it is an unlocking tool.

you have unlocked everything so you cant use the tool anymore in chapter 1

play with what you bought already.

faction is not the reward already
