The only benefit I can see, now that you can get to Urgoz/Deep with a scroll, is that you can buy keys of the opposite faction without needing faction for that faction. Faction.

I agree as well, that suggestion is a really great idea!

Of course, it will most likely never get implemented, but neutral couldn't cause any hate now could it?

Or they could just grow up a bit and not spam so much? You're most likely dealing with 12 year old kids in your alliance...

Wait, what does it mean if a guild is "neutral" then?

Currently, you don't HAVE TO align your guild to any of the two factions if you don't want to. But if you want to play in AB, you'll have to do that (or get some guest privileges).

If you want a neutral alliance just for alliance chat then fine. But if you want a neutral alliance where you can join BOTH side of Factions in AB then let me tell you: Not gonna happen. The current system of AB entrance in GH is supposed to help prevent griefing, so it's here to stay.

I like the way things are now. If anything, I think there should be more factions to choose from. Nightfall can have Sunspears vs Corsairs. Prophecies can have Shining Blade vs White Mantle. Oh well, maybe they'll add some more factions in GW2.

Well it doesnt because you can already get a guest invite to another guild and play that way. I have one account in a kurz guild and the other in a luxon. I just invite myself over if I feel like playing the other side.

And I'd say that's Anet's mistake. But really, it's what they do; fixing a problem the hard (and indirect) way, and the fixes rarely work.

It's really aggravating for people like me who want to be able to progress through Factions on the Luxon side, but I'm in a Kurzick guild. And that is exactly what's going on. I have to find a Luxon guild to guest with, just to AB, just to get the 10k faction needed to get into the stupid Gayala Hatchery, or I'm stuck doing 400 faction quests over and over (already did all the other quests long ago and spent the faction before progressing with this particular character). I'm sitting at 2400 Luxon faction, with just too much to go.

It's just a frustrating element. Nothing is stopping anyone from griefing, aside from this one thing of needing to guest - which if someone wants to grief bad enough, they will. Just add neutral alignment, maybe with lessened faction gain from either side, or just allow anyone from either side to play the other if they choose. Neutral alignment has my vote.

Arcane you know you could run from unwaking waters to the unwaking waters (luxon) and you can enter if you have more lux then kurz faction and then run backwards all up to gyala?

Anyway I'm luxon non stop only for one thing the jade sea ^^, i love area and don't want to trade it for some dull forest. (My opinion, and yes i know people have different vieuws on this!)

Atm i won't consider joining a kurzick guild mainly due to the number of times i've been scolded by em. but you do realize that even if they didn't have differen names these alliance, that AB players will still scold.

nightfall was supposedly going to have two factions originally, one that used ancient magics and one that detested it. apparently some of the skills and quests in-game are remnants of that feature (like magebane strike)...

where did you get that from?

And how comes your random friends know of such thing when we (GW fans) don't even have a clue about it?

I'd say BS.

Besides, "Magebane" = Anet's clever way of saying "Anti-caster". This kind of thing is common in Magic The Gathering's card naming convention.

BenjZee · Jun 14, 2007, 10:36 AM // 10:36

how most issues resolve in this game....Some people are just jerks...live with them.

i like the divide but the saying like "suxons" is just really sad
I recon we should get ore benefit from border pushing ...and maybe a benefit of titles would be cool. Maybe when u push the border you get more faction depending on what side of the border. It will make it more competetive and give people a reason to push it

about the nightfall factions..well they probably were thinkin about making some but none of these skills were from them. slightly similar to sunspears, istanit, kournans etc.

There will most likely be new sort of factiosn in guild wars :Eye of the north. I remember heraring something about like titles for the different races.and when i read baout the strongest norns getting a place to look after peoople reminds me of AB. this should be interesting because the norns also have diffferent creatures in which they like worship ..wolf, bear...

Spazzer · Jun 14, 2007, 12:00 PM // 12:00

Logically and monetarily speaking, your guild should be Kurzick. Guild Wars is designed with a bias of faction gains towards Kurzicks.

However, I wave my little Luxon flag because I <3 pirates.

DarkGanni · Jun 17, 2007, 12:47 PM // 12:47

It kinda sucks having 2 "sides" calling eachother names when actually they don't realize that they play together most of the time in other areas for example FoW or missions. The ppl calling the faction sides names are the mark of a racist or a kid.

I'm kinda insulted at that comment. I actually roleplay on GW and honestly there is no conceivable reason for calling insults made in different chat channels roleplaying. Since you'd normally expect to be in a roleplaying guild which most of these insult mongers are not. Please don't group roleplayers with those idiots.
