You do know that you can spin your toon around so that he's facing any way you want him to? Granted, it won't stay that way but really, how much difference does it make when you are on that screen for what, 10 seconds or less?

For a lot of people, it's important. It sets the mood before you actually start playing.

Wow! Thanks!

That's amazing, I even got to hear the first theme again... What a feeling that brought back!

It would be awesome if they allowed you to choose between 4 login screens (if you own needed chapter/exp).

I like it the best out of all of them... I do like the prophecies one; with your characters standing together. I think they should have made a new camp on a mountain with all your characters sitting or standing about doing something relating to their profession? Such as have my warrior sitting on a crate in front of the fire sharpening his flamberge!

I would probably love it if it didnt lag so horribly. Right now we have about 3fps during login making it very tedious to actually log in and select a char. None of the other intro screen backgrounds lagged so I think this one probably just needs some optimization. I hope soon, cause as it stands, I'm finding myself less inclined to play GW because of the hassle of actually logging in. Reducing the graphics settings hasnt helped significantly either, so I'm thinking the problem is in optimization.

Meh, I don't have lag problems but none of the animations play and I have horrible lines in the background thanks to anet upgrade in login graphics last tuesday. Its a very nice background I just wish I could enjoy its full splendor. Hopefully Anet notices my thred in bugs and fixs it.

Here you go, looked it up myself since I had a brain fart and couldn't remember what factions looked like.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Chara...lection_screen

Brings back good memories...and I enjoy how the flames look on this new login screen. If you look through the flames at your character, you can see your char wavyish as if actually looking through them. Nice up on the graphics if you ask me.

I've sent a report to Anet concerning this already and still await their reply. I like you want to enjoy my login screen and want to know more about the problem before i go along buying a new graphics card.

Oh and the music for this is so damn awesome. A good way to send out the last Guild Wars add on imo.

wow....bring back memories indeed...all this time I forgot about that login screen...but now I remember it...I was thinking there was no new screen for factions and that the factions login screen was the one for prophecies...but now I remember it...that was a while ago...

I love the new one...love the mountains...love the cold climate (I prefer winter over summer)...love the fire effects! (especially the ones directly behind the characters)...love the music...that music just SCREAMS EPIC!

oh and the northern lights is a nice touch...I imagine we'll see them in some areas in GW:EN...

best login screen by far.

I rank them like this:
1. GW:EN
2. Prophecies
3. Factions
99. Nightfall (hated it...)
