How can you put up with the voice? Do you use a gag?

I like the forest more, but go with the armor I guess, or whichever mobs you prefer to fight. You'll probably clear the other side afterwards anyway

All they need is to be welcomed with open arms... warm hugs... and blue capes.

pirates are awesome xD international talk like apirate day 19th september gotta celebrate it lol...international talk like a luxon day 19th september!

I quite like the Jade Sea actually although I do spend a fair amount of time just staring at the scenery ^^

QFT. Factions has the most godawful voice acting I've ever heard.

I much prefer Echovald Forest to the Jade Sea...and the armor as well. But if you're in a Luxon guild, you might as well do luxon for the double reputation points.

And as an aside, I like "kurpricks" more than "kurdicks." It just rolls off the tongue.

If you want to get through quick and easy, you may want to opt for the Luxons. You can run the quest that takes you to Gyala Hatchery, and then Gyala Hatchery itself is a quick and easy mission if you do it right.

I personally prefer going the Kurzick way because I like the atmosphere, as well as the armor, but in comparison it is more difficult/time consuming than going the Luxon way. You need a pretty decent group to do Eternal Grove properly and get masters, which is often not easy to find... unless you know some people who can help you.

Kurzick 4 life!

who said a little rp isn't fun

I've always liked Kurzick more but chose whichever you like more even if its a filthy Luxon. The environment is probably the most important consideration since you'll be spending some time in it.

For me the biggest draw was the architecture and culture. I really like the whole family nobility stuff a lot more than clan warlike stuff.

Nah, I always referred to the Luxons as "Ninja Pirates." They're a little bit ninja, a little bit pirate.

Kurzicks, on the other hand, are goths. And when you don't see them sneaking up on your shrine to cap it, they're invisigoths.

Rosa Vixen · Oct 05, 2007, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Hmmm ^^
Well, i have been in my share of luxon and kurzick guilds, and to my knowledge, luxons are noobs. Maybe it was just my guilds but omg..they sucked..the guild leader was an 11 year old for gods sake!
And kurzicks seem more..experienced. I must admit, i love the storyline of the kurzicks but probally would go with the luxon atmosphere..*sigh* i guess im all for the hairy luxon woman ftw :P

Ummm...both sides can run around like maniacs or concentrate on capping. Its the just the luck of the draw. I try encourage people to stay at the shrines and defend and only engage in combat that way. No running around like buffoons. Also, I frown on standing by the teleporters and killing people as soon as they appear. Its just in bad taste.

I'm a Luxon mainly because there are just too many danged Kurzies.

Plus alot of Kurzick guilds are like "Donate 5k a day or else!!". What if someone doesn't have Factions? The concept of two opposing factions is ok but just leads to immature spamming. I wish there'd been 3 factions. It would be harder for any one faction to control more areas than another and make it more of an achievement when you do gain control of a town.

I wish ANet would give enough quests in the Luxon area to equal 10k faction for Befriending The Luxons. Did they ever explain why Kurzicks get more that 10k faction from quests but Luxons get less? Also, why did they make all the foes in the Kurzick area so much easier to kill? A balance between the areas each faction controls is needed.

1) Getting into a battle=Luxon ftw
2) armor = mostly kurz
3) mobs= both sides, don't be idiots and say one side mobs only
4) Luxons have a fricking sea made of jade, kurz have a fricking forest of stone and amber.
5) I prefer luxon side cuz of scenry
6) Ninjas vs pirates?
7) We can chest run in our place, huzzah for outcasts ^^

oh the cruel irony!

End game luxon? Gyala hatchery is far from end-game. And you need to be further along in the Kurzick story to get the egg hardened (provided you don't pay for said hardened egg).

Steboy93 · Oct 05, 2007, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Doesn't make much difference really, just depends whether you want to get called a 'Suxon' or 'Kurdick' in Ab's.

Oh, the witty insults of the GW community...

NoXiFy · Oct 05, 2007, 08:27 PM // 20:27

GoKurz. Kurz mission side is 100000 times easier. Plus, you might ACTUALLY find a PuG instead of all henchies

Toutatis · Oct 05, 2007, 09:00 PM // 21:00

I think the Luxon mission is easier than the Kurzick mission, although I still side with the Kurzicks.

I like wandering around the Echovald Forest. It's very peaceful, once you take out the Wardens, the Mantids, the Kirin, the Undergrowths, the Gaki... It's the perfect place to find a tree to sit under and contemplate the mysteries of the universe, set up an easel and make a painting of the landscape, or pull out a flute and serenade the treetops.

Eh? Gyala Hatchery is about as end-game as you get (besides the Elite Mish, of course). After that, the Missions join back together in Unwaking Waters, so it really doesn't matter which side you chose.

The difference between getting a Egg hardened is you only need ONE character in Kurzick-land to get it.

Your character has to be able to enter Gyala Hatchery explorable to get a customized Incubator.

Kurzick is too dark for me, I like luxon better. Check Pongmei valley on luxon side, so beautiful, like a paradise (the yetis ruined the fun)

zamial · Oct 06, 2007, 01:01 AM // 01:01

the big picture: it doesn't matter at all.

the emperor after kisu ends the fued with brute force and cantha is united.

DreamRunner · Oct 06, 2007, 01:05 AM // 01:05

I am in a kurzick guild, although I dislike the kurizck quite a bit. Luxon's seem more free from a trapped society that the kurzicks have and not to mention they do seem to love to be trapped by their own sense of morality and society.

But most of all, they love to take the moral high ground, thinking that luxons are barbarians since their society and morality greatly differs from the their own, which from my impression is based on a aristocrat society.

PureEvilYak · Oct 06, 2007, 01:28 AM // 01:28

I've played out both sides, but really, the Luxons are the ones who have my bow. After all, they're the ones with massive turtles. And as the old saying goes, "Show a Ranger and intricate cathedral, and he will fight with you for a day. Show a Ranger a society that uses turtles as its main form of transport, warfare, and about every other bit of society (the crabs don't play too small a part either) and he will fight for you for life.

At least, I think thats how it went...

Nemo the Capitalist · Oct 06, 2007, 01:54 AM // 01:54

either one is good doesnt really matter which u choose

Oh, and we're luxon now. Were kurzick for most of the time. It doesn't matter. I will say that you can at least find one person to group with in most Kurzick locales. Luxons? Not so much.
