Curse

to realise my idea Anet will have to work abit....

what bothers me in current GW, is that no mater what you do, the story line remains the same, im at my 3th character, and i dont even want to repeat the story, i just want it to be lvl 20.

my idea is to make few story lines, (in the same land), so the story line played will be only based on players decisions. example: when you get to kryta, you first go with white manthe, then run from them, then kill them. how wbout having a few break points where you decide if you want to kill them or join them. lets say, choose quest 1 to join white mantle, choose quest 2 to go against white manle, choose quest 3 to stay neutral... there will be a few places where you can change your story line (make a diffrent decision for a questb at the next "choosing point" which would be nice to have 4 or 5

the quest you choose also determines your further few quests, so player 1 who choose to join white mantle (quest 1), at a certain point will have to fight or compete with the player 2 who choose to oppose them (quest 2), like this Guild Wars, becomes Real wars, not just teams fights in arenas. at a certain point EVRYBODY will meet for the last mission area (after evryone figured out that white mantle is bad) like fire islands, to bring a unity to the whole game, and to bring the story lines together.

this way is also a good way to integrade PVP inside PVE story, so the players who never had a chance or interest to try it because they like playing the story, will try it IN the story, and might discover somethin they like and didnt bother discovering before.

of curse, each character's story line can change, so if you got more then 1 character, doin the story line is somethin new, cuz you can choose a diffrent path. (your warior did quest 1, but you choose quest 2 for your monk)

*i choose to bring white mantle as the example, but it can be any other option (like with king in ascalon, maby something around yaks) .... just tht this one seemed the most easy to show

i guess Anet was faster then me

but im not sure if its quite same... cuz you chose the factions line for the whole account right? and is it PVP thing ony or is it something like i described?
cuz by reading on there web it seems its for pvp... and you cant change lines after...?

From the preview, it seems that working along one faction wont stop you working along the other. And those branches join back up later on.

What the OP seems to want is a storyline that branches, and each branch goes in different directions. Basically once you make a choice on a PvE character, your stuck with it on that character. I'd like this, but I dont think it can be implemented in the current chapters.

it would motivate me to pay an extra 80$ for chapter 3!!! cuz same story gets boring after your first character

The story for factions looks like its already very different to the prophesis one, but we will have to wait and find out more.
