/not signed...buy both chapters, problem solved

/notsigned, how else would Anet make money. All the serious PvPers (easily half the game community) wouldn't have any incentive to buy new chapters.

I didnt buy factions and now in pvp im like "what the hell, what skill is that?!?"
But i knew that would happen cause i didnt buy factions. so suck it up.

it's not going to happen and never will since Anet is a for-profit company and that suggestion defeats the purpose of buying other GW chapters

Its not gonna happen though.

Your skills arent weaker just because you didnt buy the next chapter. Your flare will hit for the same and you will still get your +3 from mending. Just because you cant use whatever skills you want doesnt make your current skills any worse. The only thing you are limited to is what FotMs you can run, and just because you cant find a group doesnt mean anet made prophecies players worse than ones with both chapters.

As long as they do a good job balancing different chapter skills, there should be no issues with there being varying skills between chapters.

I don't think he noticed/knows that prophicies-only accounts don't get Factions-only skills...

I don't really understand why this thread is still open. The suggestion is just dumb, not even worth discussing plus this thread has spawned nothing but harsh comments and downright flames.

TadaceAce · Jun 24, 2006, 08:32 PM // 20:32

They are equal, the prophecies only have the same balance against factions only. You want more skills your gonna have to dish out more money!

i don't think its unbalanced, it is a simple strategy to get you to want the other chapters that you don't have and therefore make them money. Personally, I remain unaffected from such a strategy as I was going to buy factions anyways. I see it's working on you because you think its unfair and therefore you want the skills....buy factions...its great

dargon · Jun 24, 2006, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I'm against it like pretty much everyone else. That said, I do think that if you borrow/steal a hex/elite/skill/etc from someone in a chapter you don't have, that you should be able to use it. I also believe that the PREMADE pvp characters should be useable by all, nomatter what chapter(s) they own, with all their skills available. A newbie with no skills unlocked can use a premade with all the skills, so long as all those skills belong to the chapter they own, but right now, if they try to use say the assassin premade but only own prophecies, they are kinda crippled. The premades are one more form of advertising to get people to buy other chapters, let them actually do that.

A feeble cry. ANET has some smart marketting going and this is only a morsel of it. You will buy both or be inferior basically. Same with next edition. Since it's a standalone (no monthly fee) game making sure everyone buys a copy is one of the only ways to keep the revenues coming in.

I did too, but because i thought he meant give all skills, as in you dont have to buy em. But I laughed once i read this.

If they let everyone have the skills then they'd pretty much be giving the game away. What else is in Factions? Armor, missions proffesions? This si to add more features to it. Besides, have r clones anyways.

I think its obvious.

Actually, all players already can have access to all skills, provided that they purchase both Prophesies and Factions.

The skills are infact part of each campaign. If you could have all factions skills without buying factions then why buy it? Anet would lose money.
