I personally neevr cared and most likely never willa bout finishing the game fast. also i really can't since i'm basicly restricted to weekends cause of school workload unless i somehow find at most an hour during the week. I rather take my time and do everything so that i don't get bored and still have somethign to look forward to.

I wil work on cartography as I go through nightfall, so not too much of a rush there.

Must....farm....until.....fingers.....shrink....up

No, really, I am going to have to rush my ele through it to keep it PvP ready, after that--making a derv, gonna get all titles, and say hello to everyone and their mother.

HawkofStorms · Oct 20, 2006, 03:52 AM // 03:52

Not really. The only rushing I'll be doing is to get to my new sin armor and my new warrior leggings (which may be aquireable at the first city for Canthan/Tyrian characters, so no rush really).
Although there will be economic opportunities, I'll already be cashing in by selling my thousands of stockpiled materials.

natuxatu · Oct 20, 2006, 05:28 AM // 05:28

I wish I didn't but to be honest I do. I have to get to the end as fast as I can. I don't know why but the first time I always rush through.. after that I go back and take my time. But yes I rushed through Factions in two or three days and I was one of the people buying Amber for like 5 or 6k. So yeah.. that's my story.

actionjack · Oct 20, 2006, 05:46 AM // 05:46

Yes, I do.

I know I should take it slow and enjoy it... but still do feel the pressure... and I am not even preordering yet!

I'm going to take it easy as if I'm starting GW for the first time. I love how the game felt at the beginning. I won't even touch my storage so that my new paragon/dervish will have to make it on his/her own, not like in factions, (although money in factions is no trouble at all for new chars) rushing to level 20 in a few hours. I want my dervish/paragon's lvl 20 to be more meaningful than that of my canthan buddies. THEN i'll take my ele to blast the whole game up

Sure, I'm not a noob anymore, so I'm not going around with a lvl 6 E/Me elementalist with skills from 7 attributes...

Riesz · Oct 20, 2006, 06:20 AM // 06:20

No, I don't feel pressure to finish quickly but I want to anyway, for personal reasons. I want to know what happens in the storyline, see all the new armors and weapons and visit the towns while they're still deserted!

Agreed with this point, but Im more interested in hopefully enjoying the game more than Factions, it will be a sorry day if NF is not what we hope it to be ^^

WLlama · Oct 20, 2006, 08:05 AM // 08:05

I'm not feeling pressure due to economical reasons. However, being the leader of my guild always pushes me to stay ahead of the curve so that I can help guildies as they come up behind me.

Paperfly · Oct 20, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

The Factions economy came with bad as well as good for the early rushers, e.g. minuscule Faction rewards. Doing Befriend the Kurzicks took forever if you didn't have a character capable of trapping the Duels quest, and forget about 15K gear unless you walked into Factions already a millionaire.

And let's not forget that early adopter premium on crafting materials, runes and dyes! Unless you've stocked up on cloth already rushing through the game is going to cost you.

Knightsaber Sith · Oct 20, 2006, 08:23 AM // 08:23

I got my 15k kurzick armor about three days after Factions went live. It ended up costing like 300k.

Mine didn't, I spent hours camping the trader and doing Amatz Basin for mine

Orinn · Oct 20, 2006, 08:47 AM // 08:47

I'll be honest. I want to get my main farming characters, my warrior and monk, through the game as fast as I can. Look for farming spots, nice skins, and greens. I'll take my time with the others.

Divinus Stella · Oct 20, 2006, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Rushing thru factions was great fun, definately gonna do the same with Nigtfall, factions was much easier to rush aswel, as all the good players were rushing, when i had to do the game on a second character it was a lot harder as about a week into factions all the noobs managed to get to the later missions, so instead of decent groups forming you would just have random assassins and wammos.

Burton2000 · Oct 20, 2006, 09:41 AM // 09:41

Well as I do a lot of pvp I feel pressured to rush just to get back into HA etc. with new skills and builds and play them before they get nerfed. But I did that with factions and I must say I did get totally bored with factions after completing it in 3 days.

Also now i have 0gp on my acount I will have to take it slowly just so I make money for armour.

Nevin · Oct 20, 2006, 10:27 AM // 10:27

At first, I figured it'd be best to get the jump on the economy. But now I realize its not worth it. In Factions I beat it with an Assassin in a total of 2 days, and within the first week I accumilated over 150k from selling amber and Shiro's Blades. Back then I only had 50k in my storage, now I have 800k. I ruined the game, I didn't enjoy it very much; It was more like a job then fun. I feel much less pressure to become rich, because I already am. There for I'm gunna take it slow, get some titles along the way, and let the market settle before I go in.

Kurzick and Luxon 1.5k armor would run you about 100k, 15k would run you over 200k during the first weeks of faction. Its definitly a waste to rush for end game equipment, if it requires a specialty material. Everything will be over priced at first, and some people will become platinumares over night. But what does it matter? The economy has its ups, then it'll go back down.

Shadow Dragon · Oct 20, 2006, 10:36 AM // 10:36

pressure no. lack of time yes. with nightfall i will have 10 characters to get through. this includes the new professions.

qazwersder · Oct 20, 2006, 11:07 AM // 11:07

I am in a dilema. Im not sure what to do, I rushed through factions with my tyrian ele and completed it within the first week. I was there when they unlocked the Luxon Scavenger was unlocked (and obviously the Kurz Bereaucrat but i was luxon) and I had my 10k faction already. Watching jadeite hit extortianate prices was good. Made it worthwhile not doing gyala hatchery because I had max faction. Sellin ssyns staff for a nice 60k and my amulet of the mists for about the same, helped me get that last bit of cash required for my FoW armor. All sounds good, but i still kinda regret it. All the side quests i missed that i now just cba going back to do. In a way it ruined the game. I would like to play it more like when i first played prophecies, exploring and following quests, learning new things (although it is somewhat unlikely as i now know the game dynamics too well).

So do I take my ele to elona and complete it quick, or make a new one and follow the game? (Which if going by the FPE and the great dialogue from most chars will be great). I could even make another char that im not all that experienced at playing. One thing i do know tho, I'm not making a P or a D for a long time.
