Apart from some nice lobbys, im not seeing any PvP content for C2. There is 1 new map, which seems to be based in ascalon so thats probably C1, there is the 3 unused C1 maps added in, tho one with a new skin, and..... thats it. So, why is this a preview weekend for Factions if almost nothing from factions, is in it?

The preview is mostly of the two new classes and their skills/weapons (read the update notes) and also the new training grounds.

Most of the stuff thats been changed so far IS for Chapter1 (even post-event), but it is getting ready for Chapter2's structure, like the Battle Isles.

So you think that if we want the new PvP content we have to get C2?

I believe the changes you saw on Thursday (new PvE Underworld, PvP Battle Isles, etc.) are here to stay. The changes on Friday (Assassins and Ritualists) are just for this weekend. Note, chapter 1 and chapter 2 will share the same PvP area.

New...classes? Just maybe?

Well then this weekend isn't a peek into the new PvP content but only in the new classes. Still alot to come in the next weekends :P

2 new classes are enough. They seems pretty original and give a whole new level of tactics and builds.

Rafe · Jan 20, 2006, 07:02 PM // 19:02

There will be a ton of new skills for the original professions. Too.

Markaedw · Jan 20, 2006, 07:09 PM // 19:09

based on the skills I think we may need to work on status and interupts for chapter 2

The purpose is really to promote C2.. Those who are taking part in the preview have a higher chance of getting chapter 2 than those who do not. There's going to be lots more content in the future and chapter 2 is make or break for Anet because of the lack of subscriptions.
