Choosing A Side In Cantha (Help) - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Ok thanks guys, I think I'm gonna make my choice on what armour I want to get.

Then I'll replay through the other side...

To the OP: I understand your question, as it is basically what everyone wanted to know before we became familiar with Factions.

What I don't understand is so many responses talking about choosing one side or the other. The fact is, unless you are a guild leader looking to align your guild with one side or the other, or someone looking for a guild and want to know if you should join a Luxon or Kurzick guild, there is no "decision" to make, really. The only aspect affected by your guild alignment is which side you fight for in alliance battles. Other than that, you have to remember only one thing. The NPC's of either side will only talk to you if you have more of their faction (if you have equal amounts, only the side your guild is aligned with will talk to you) and you can only use the res shrines in outposts if you have more of their faction (unless you kill the NPCs at the shrine). But the current amounts of your faction change as you do quests, AB's, Ft. Aspenwood, etc.

So, you really don't have to make a choice, just play both sides if you want. If you only want to play through on one side, then read the descriptions of the Eternal Grove and Gyala Hatchery missions on Guildwiki and decide which you would rather do. You are never prevented from doing quests or missions depending on which side you have more faction for, or even to whom your guild is aligned, with the exception of ABs.

@OP Are you in a guild? Most guilds are on one side on the other. My guild voted to side with Luxon well before Factions came out. I'm pretty sure your guild (if you're in a guild) would want you to choose the same side they did.

Many guilds don't farm faction, so they may not care. Ask one of your guild officers.

NOTE: You didn't say if you're in a guild or not, so if you're not, ignore my post.

Could you please tell me exactly how an individual goes about choosing a side ? Because I've been playing Factions since it came out, and I've never chosen a side. My guild is Luxon, but I have never individually chosen squat.

What is there to ask ? What impact does this mysterious "choice" have on your guild ? You can only donate Luxon faction to a Luxon guild, and vice versa, but a Luxon can farm Kurzick faction for Amber just like any Kurzick, at any time. So, what is this "choice" ?

My guild is Luxon, therefore I choose to only farm Luxon faction. Other than that, the choice is strictly from a role playing perspective.

My guild is slightly Kurzick, it's only a very small guild with 10 members or so of close friends...

And we have about 1.5k of Kurzick faction. But I like the Luxxon armour, so thats what Im going for.

I'll then donate like 5k Luxxon faction to the guild, so we can be a Luxxon guild :P If they let us!
