Ok so first off sorry if i posted this in the forum, but im in a bit of a rush

In factions, im at the part where i choose kurzick or luxon. My guild is luxon but..well when i rele think about it i like the luxon "theme" more, but when im travelling i think i like the kurzick look more. Kurzicks are NOT emo so please do not post that. Please just leave any comments about the sides or your favourite and why..yea yea corny but w/e.
Thanks

Personally I like the luxons. I've played both sides of the game and I like the luxon look and the luxon missions. The kurzicks are ok but their side of the game is kind of dull in my opinion and had a few really frustrating quests. And well...the Kurzicks are pretty emo. I mean make up, black clothes, they even complain and whine a lot if you talk to them at the right time. LoL You'll hear that a lot though so you may as well get used to it. If you find that offensive then you've already decided on kurzicks and my only advice to you is to remember it's just a game.

You can always do both

Luxon would be easier for you since your guild is Luxon. Unless you have a friend in a Kurzick guild that will guest you a few times to get the 10k faction needed for the Befriending quest.

Honestly.... I find Echovald Forest a lot more calming and asthetically pleasing in every respect than the Jade Sea... Cavalon is a total eyesore.

Plus the entire war stinks in the undertones of Ninja versus Pirate.... and I side with the Ninjas every time.

Esan · Oct 05, 2007, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Wait wait wait, the Kurzicks are ninjas now?

Ah, good point. Go for the side with the armor you want ^.^
Reef lurkers look wierd anyway imo, lol.

Reference to deleted post removed by Snipe.

Clearly posts like that really promote the helpful GW community.

Unfortunately I am in a Luxon guild and alliance, and have been almost since I started GW. I dunno though...I think I prefer the Luxon side, geographically, but the Kurzick armours are just cool. Hmm, overall favourite? It's too close to call, I might have to vote Kurzick since the "sea creatures", especially the Irukandji, really annoyed me when I was vanquishing some areas.

I guess it's all much of a muchness at the end of the day. If you're going through for the first time go with the side with the most elites you want to cap.

No.
You just need to get 10,000 Kurzick Faction.
Go do some quests around Echovald and you'll have it in no time.
You can take BOTH Befriending quests y'know...

Yes.
Kurzicks are Ninjas.
Luxons are Pirates..... Gypsy Pirates.... Smelly (fishy), Gaudy, Savage, Gypsy Pirates.

And Cavalon looks like a bad "Changing Rooms" job.

Whereas House Zu Heltzer has the perfect ambience... and Count Zu Heltzer is cool and well-dressed, though don't tell him my Sin is doing his daughter.

No, the alignment of your guild does not matter, providing you gain the 10,000 Kurzick faction for your account you can complete Befriending the Kurzicks.

If you actually want to take part in the Alliance battles etc to capture towns you might want to think about which side you want to play. If you just play the game you don't pick a side. You just... well... play the game. You can easily get elite kurzick and luxon armor on the same char.

Or do as my Monk did and get half-and-half. Elite Kurzick jacket with Elite Luxon bracers and sandals... all dyed Guild-Mauve. It looks surprisingly good.

If you are in a luxon guild, it is fairly easy to do both sides. FFF on the kurz side make the 10,000 Kurz easy to obtain and AB will make the 10,000 luxon Fairly easy to obtain. I suggest if its your first time through and your main charactor do both sides. There are alot of cool elite skill in both areas and unlocking both side becomes super helpful if you decide to map or vanquish.

Personally I like the hippy pirate feel of the luxon. Hairy women FTW!!!!! lol

Brianna · Oct 05, 2007, 04:02 PM // 16:02

Well overall I love playing on the Luxon side of the game cause I like the way it looks, but sometimes I'll go over to the kurzick side too, I guess it just depends on my mood.

Mordakai · Oct 05, 2007, 04:06 PM // 16:06

If you want a Black Moa Chick, you'll need access to end-game Luxon.

But in order to get a pet Black Moa you need access to Kurzick...

oh the cruel irony!

Being join towner of my guild we tend to swap sides back and forth, as we want to max out both Luxon and Kurzick titles, personally i prefer the Kurzick side both looks and gameplay in the area.

If you are in a luxon guild though i would stay with it, as you change to kurzick you would have to leave the guild. Also I find its far easier to get into Alliance Battles on the Luxon side than the Kurzick. I have waited about 30 mins in Kurzick but never more that 5 in Luxon.

As previously mentioned you can do both quests despite being allied to one. And with the Priests at shrines giving a bonus similar to the Lightbringer and Sunspear shrines in Elona you can farm point by killing foes to your heart content and never have to leave the alliance you are in. This would allow you to farm faction for either side whenever you want.

Zahr Dalsk · Oct 05, 2007, 04:19 PM // 16:19

It depends...

In alliance battles, if you prefer running from shrine to shrine capping and not much combat, go with the Kurzicks; if you prefer gathering into a mob and rampaging around, go with the Luxons.

For areas I like the Jade Sea a lot, but the Echovald Forest has a nice cozy feel to it. Although the Wardens are pretty annoying.

For their cultures I go with the Kurzicks because they prize innovation whereas the Luxons just prize mindless strength...

The Kurzicks, by the way, are not emo; black clothes =/= emo; I wear black all the time and I'm not emo. I have three theories as to why they wear black. The first is to blend in better in the Echovald Forest, the second theory is it may be a religious reason to do with the Five True Gods, the third is that it just looks good and because they can afford lots of black dye

I have done a lot of travelling, both in the service and since then, and I compliment the differences between the Kurzicks and the Luxons as mirroring what I see between "surfer-dude" and "land lubber" areas. The landscapes and art in both reflect those differences as well as the attitudes.

I personally go Kurzick because I am blinded by the unending turquoise glow of Luxonland. Neither the sea nor the desert have ever appealed to me in real life beyond pretty pictures on a wall and the foods, dances, and folk-art that come from them. I come from and live in an area of deep woods where mushroom hunting is a big deal (something bragged about at morning coffee in the local cafe). Most buildings in our county were built by German imigrant bricklayers between the Civil and First World Wars. Kurzickland feels homey to me, where in contrast Luxonland is tolerable and quaint.

However, I fully understand that these are personal influences. And I play both. I am leader of a small Kurzick aligned guild, yet - I have title in Luxon out of game play while I do not yet in Kurzick.

Go with the one that has the cooler armor.
