As Factions is my favorite campaign, one of the aspects of GW2 I'm hoping to exist is the "aftermath" of the Kurzick/Luxon struggle.

I think that there should be a future event weekend or week with a series of "deciding" battles between Luxon and Kurzick forces that decide the fate of the one of the two as victors in the future time period that GW2 takes place

The war is over. They joined forces to defeat Shiro, and stop the Afflicted. Surely you must have finished Eternal Grove and/or Gyala Hatchery?

Cool idea. Though I have this vain hope that the two factions would be able to peacefully resolve their conflicts. *lol* Yep, I'm a hippie.

Exoudeous · Jul 16, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

well for one they teamd up at the end, so its hard to say if they are even enemies anymore.

and two having one being victor over the other would be horrible, not to mention the loseing faction getting horribly upset. its just a bad idea alltogether.

though I would like to see each chapter get a litle expanded similar to how eye of the north adds maps to tyria.

I think he or she was talking from the PvP point of view.

I was under the impression that that particular alliance was purely temporary to destroy Shiro.

He's right, and plus, if there was 1 winner in the end, the "pixelated racisism" would just get a lot more worse, not to mension it would tick off everyone on the losing faction.

yes but their whole fight started after shiro was killed the first time because they couldnt aggree who did it. now they dont have anything to fight over.

assassin_of_ni · Jul 16, 2007, 11:50 PM // 23:50

they have plenty to fight over....i was sneaking around the divine path after killing shiro and if you wait approximately 3 hours and 37 minutes you will hear this.

Luxons and Kurzicks: wooooo shiro is dead...yeah woo...

Luxon: well we helped the most

Kurzick: Nuh uuuuuuuuuh we did....yall just sat around with your fat turtles nuking stuff every minute or so AT best.

Luxon: yeah well....i slept with your mom

Kurzick: no you didnt!

Luxon: yes i did....you know what they say once you go luxon youll like the butt sex. our ancestors werent very good at rhyming >_>

Kurzick: ok its on!

(and thus we still have AB)

That would be very cool... just make it some way so that good AB players end up deciding it, not touch ranger teams...

As far as I remember the luxons and kurzicks agree "terms" with the Canthan Empire every year or every so often at least for their war. It was devised so that neither side would ever become stronger than the other and a possible threat to the empire.

Unless they get wiped out with the rest of the human race (that will be near extinction in GW2) they will still be enemies.

LumpOfCole · Jul 17, 2007, 12:10 AM // 00:10

It's a war! Losing faction SHOULD be pissed off, especially if the event could have used more of their input

Luxon/Kurzick arguments in outposts are already stupid enough as it is without giving anyone anything to be really arrogant or butthurt over.

And of course neither faction could ever break those terms...

That would be very interesting... House zu Heltzer or Cavalon being taken over, with the victorious side turning against the empire, destroying the empire in GW2 and replacing it with a kurzick or luxon nation...

And for people who are worried about feelings hurt... if your feelings are hurt because a fictional nation lost a fictional war, I suggest you get... SOMETHING important in your life that actually matters... I am kurzick but no way will I be all pissed off if the Luxons won the war... who cares, the 11 year olds who technically shouldn't be playing anyway as you need to be a certain age to play?

Everybody who claims the war is over has clearly not paid attention to the NPC banter in Divine Path after you defeat Shiro. Its clearly implied that the war begins again.

When spoken to in the Divine Path:

"Wisdom is lost on the young. All the champions speak of is immediately declaring war on the Kurzicks. Such nonsense. We need to gather our strength, lull them into a false sense of security, and then strike!"

Surely you must have read the dialogue? The war is still on.

I would like to see a final battle series if thats possible with new maps of course.

It should use the actual towns and outposts as the maps, sort of like the dragon festival quests when the towns are made into instances. Have them literally invade cavalon/house zu heltzer and fight a bloody all out battle for control of the cities...

Hawkeye · Jul 17, 2007, 08:20 AM // 08:20

I think the point was that the Kurzicks and the Luxons were two equal sides in a civil war in Cantha. One wasn't supposed to be more powerful over the other (at least for very long) or win the battle. Besides, you buy 'Guild Wars: Factions' for a reason. It'd suck if they were no longer factioned, but everybody got along.

If they want to resolve the battle, it should be in Guild Wars 2 story line.
