It can sometimes be hard to find a group of players in some spots. A lot of times the more advanced players are hanging out in the end game areas, or farming certain spots for gear. My advise is to use your Heroes from Nightfall and EOTN to your advantage. You can equip them with the same skills that you have unlocked. The henchies are only there for eye candy, and fodder for the Char.

The best thing is to checkout the forums, and find a nice guild to join with some helpful people that are willing to show you the ropes. That way you will get the best experience from the game. Unlike some games guildwars almost forces you to party up in order to complete missions, and quests. Once you get good at the game you'll be able to solo some places. Just keep in mind that you will need a vast assortment of skills to deal with all the different monsters out there.

I personally love my Ranger. He was the first, and most played character that I have followed by my Warrior. Monk is a great class to play because groups are always looking for a competent healer, but be warned.......Groups love to hate on the monks if they die. It doesn't matter if they go out and aggro everything on the planet. You will be the fall guy.

In reference to OP:

About your chart...It says Prophecies and Factions don't have heroes...Well after a certain update, you could get Olias from prophecies and Zenmai from Factions...And MOX from both. I don't know if you have to own Nightfall for this, but if not, I think you should change that on the chart to prevent confusion.

Just being observant btw.

Hi!

I bought all 3 guild wars chapters and i found difficulties in my way.

I read that many ppl says its better to play profecies then factions and then nightfall.
I agree with them but we have some problems with my firends. We all want to start on profecies but we like to play with chars from other chapters. For ex i want to play assasin. So? Im supposed to start factions? My friend want to play dervish. Is he have to start with nightfall? We wanted to be all together. Is any way we can start our favourites classes and still playing all together in one chapter?

Short answer: No. Not at first.

Long answer:
The extra classes (Assassin and Ritualist in Factions, Dervish and Paragon in Nightfall) all must be started in the chapter where they were first introduced. So if you want to play an assassin you must start in Factions, and Dervishes must start in Nightfall.

At a certain point in the game, however, you can take your characters to the other continents, so an assassin can go to Nightfall and play through the game there. For each campaign it varies on the time spent. Factions is the fastest to be able to go to other continents, especially if you have friends helping you through missions rather than just henchies. Prophecies is the slowest if you follow the storyline, but you can get someone to run you to Lion's Arch, so it could be faster than Factions if you skip things.

Of course if you start a core class (elementalist, mesmer, monk, necromancer, ranger, or warrior) you can start in any chapter you want. With multiple character slots you may want to start a core character in Nightfall, so you can play with your friend the dervish. And your friend can start a core character in Factions so you can play on your assassin.

Lets say i start in factions and my friends in prophecies. When i'll be able to traver to the prophecies continet I will be able to do the quests there with my friends or I wont be able to Q there?

If you have all chapters and your characters have access to the port cities you will be able to go back and forth.

Triana Serene · Nov 25, 2008, 02:25 PM // 14:25

I'm gonna just throw this out here...I'm not a very "talented" player. Is EOTN worth getting?? Thanks

Theolot · Dec 20, 2008, 08:53 PM // 20:53

Hello,

Anyway I hope to meet you all IG

thread is outdated
i see no reason to not get the trilogy edition/complete collections

absa12 · Jan 03, 2009, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Okay...
Ive been thinking about starting GW...
But i have a few questions...

If you buy Nightfall you have access to the lands of Prophecies and Faction?
If yes, do you have access to all professions? (i read it but i want to be reassured)
Do you have to have Prophecies and Faction to use Nightfall?

Thanks for your time.

If you only buy NF, you will only have access to the lands of NF. If you want to play in Proph and/or Factions, you'll have to buy those as well.

Quote:

Core classes(Warrior, Monk, Ranger, Ele, Nerco, Mesmer) plus the NF only classes(Dervish, Paragon).

Quote:

Nope.

Actually, you can only get Zenmai and Olias when you have NF, Factions/Prophecies is needed also, but they are still NF heroes. For MOX you will need all three campagins.

Just to make that clear

potatoskin23 · Jan 29, 2009, 05:00 PM // 17:00

well i bought prophicies than factions than night fall about a week ago and factions is no that bad but i do agree that it is almost imposible to get a full group but for some1 who likes to pvp this is the way to go

Benderama · Jan 29, 2009, 08:20 PM // 20:20

why badmouthing factions so much? from a strategetic point of view its the easiest to get to other sontinents from, essentail for AB, and has some good skills. you should include content too, because although Nightfall is longer it ahs far less armor and items than the other 2 campaigns.
i know this is probably very nooby but apart from being short why is the factions storyline "weak"? it's not a rip off of another video game. i get all the stuff about cut scenes and voice actors though. i'd agree that there not enoguh players in missions atfer vizunah square, but it mostly works out better going on your own unless you cannot survive without getting a master reward.
i'd go for factionbs or prophecies personally- prophecies has best storyline in my opinion and you wont get players constantly rushing for the reward, but if you wanna joni a guild you might wanna get factions for the alliance battles so you can donate faction.
