What's the best expansion for GW?
I'm getting one but I don't know which one to get.

If I think back, they were all really quite bad. Factions wasn't too bad, but was detrimental to PvP, NF was even worse - but had some interesting PvE changes, and EOTN was a massive waste of money.

Probably get NF, Factions is boring/dumb if you like PvE, and EOTN is a waste.

Well, really, Prophesies, Nightfall, and Factions are standalone campaigns, and EOTN is the only expansion.

But I get what you're saying. Personally, I found Nightfall to be much more enjoyable than Factions, but it really comes down to your personal taste. What interests you more, the Chinese flavor or the North Africal/Egyptian one?

If you haven't done Prophesies, the first campaign I'd start there. The story line is good ( best imo ) and the learning curve is reasonable.

Some older players who want to get the thing done would go for Factions/ fast leveling or Nightfall/ mid speed leveling and you get heros that you can customize with weapons, skills and eq buffs.

Eye of the North is for an established player ( minimum level is 10 ) and is more challenging than the first 3 campaigns. You also get several heros to have fun with.

Have fun

Well since the only expansion is EoTN, I would say that

Prayash · Dec 20, 2008, 01:12 AM // 01:12

Well, I meant like Factions/ Nightfall/ or Eye of the North. But I'm thinking about getting Nightfall.

If you like PvE and want some decent elite skills for your characters plus the addition of heroes, I'd say nightfall is the way to go.

EoTN is the way to make money, course you need Factions to be able to do that. So I'd just go with Nightfall since Heroes are the next best thing to money.

Nightfall. the heroes alone are worth it

YunSooJin · Dec 20, 2008, 01:57 AM // 01:57

nightfall broke the game, skill wise. So I'd go with nightfall. Overpowered skills, heroes, what more could you ask for?

Dirty Panda · Dec 20, 2008, 07:48 AM // 07:48

Yeah I'm going to agree with most of the people here and say NF because the heroes alone are worth it

therangereminem · Dec 20, 2008, 08:26 AM // 08:26

tech speaking thereis only one expansion for guildwars m so the best would have to be

gwen

nightfalland factions where stand alone

upier · Dec 20, 2008, 09:02 AM // 09:02

Factions.
I am a PvE player but Aspy and AB were probably one of the best additions to GW.
Plus - it gives you a chance to AFK for the Lucky/Unlucky titles which instantly makes it an OMG-WTF-PWN!11!1 choice.

Ohh and

My favorite campaign is Factions. That having been said, heroes are incredibly useful, so I would suggest one of two things:

1. Nightfall, depending on your tastes. Assassin and Ritualist are two of my favorites and there are some incredibly great skills in Factions (especially for Warrior, I have to say). Still, Nightfall is a more balanced version of powerful PvE skills and the benefit of heroes on top of two new professions.

2. Factions Platinum Edition (Factions + GW:EN). This gives you what is, in my opinion, the most fun campaign as well as access to a wide number of heroes and the greater portion of the superpowered PvE skills. Plus, this costs about as much as Nightfall, so these two options are similar in most ways.
