I think you must have missed what I was getting at - it's well known that a lot of people have a lot of money farmed to buy everything they want the instant they get to Cantha. Imagine the look on their faces when they discover all that money is worthless - golden!

Personally I'm looking forward to a fresh start, I think it'll be a breath of fresh air

I think that if you do link factions and guild wars you can bring your items and cash into factions if you dont link both accounts of characters then you cannot so im not worried.

Tyec, you thinking in the box WAY to mcuh there.

Cirian, I did miss your point. I agree comeplty with you, I'd love a fresh start with my same characters. It'd be fun and exciting all over again to be honest.

in factions u leave pre-searing at lvl 20 so it isnt a problem

frickett · Mar 29, 2006, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Why would you want to stay in pre till level 20?

Haggard · Apr 01, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Hes referring to the fact we all started at lvl 20 in the demo. However this is not true of the real game, so, bleh.

Eldin · Apr 01, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

That continues the matter...will Pre-Searing give massive exp rewards or what? I cannot see the equivalent of "post-searing" pitting you against mobs of level 24s so quickly.

I did not see any normal monsters above level 28 in the FPE...I hope it stays that way. Glint should remain the most powerful creature...and lichie is pretty powerful too. If they make level 31 enemies, Glint should be moved to level 41, Lichie 40. I think they'll continue the current level standards, though.

It's probably ArenaNet's way of saying, "Buy prophecies as well. That actually has a reasonable post-searing!"

Don't you mean one for every chapter?

Haggard · Apr 08, 2006, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Oh no the enemies won't be lvl 20+ right at the start, that was just to give us some measure of what the game will be like, in a balanced enviroment allowing us to skip straight to the good stuff (i hope that made sense). The enemies in the pre-searing equivalent will be the same old 0-8 ish spectrum, then after the 'searing' equivalent, theyll get progressiveley tougher throughout the game.

frickett · Apr 08, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

I don't think it is fair that we get a level cap at 20 and the monsters do not.

NinjaKai · Apr 16, 2006, 10:49 AM // 10:49

As far as them joinin in half way through the storyline. I've seen plenty of rpgs where characters join your company later in the game. Same principal with an MMO.

You miss the point of the higher level monsters here. It's to give us a challenge, to force us to work in groups because things have got to a point where they can be solo'd. This is ANETs attempt to force group work back into the mix. That and there is nothing wrong with the level cap, GW isn't like your regular MMO. I don't want it becoming final fantasy 11 or WoW.

LightningHell · Apr 16, 2006, 01:25 PM // 13:25

AND beating fourteen with your level below theirs is quite exciting, to some.

Goats17 · Apr 16, 2006, 02:49 PM // 14:49

Yeah, it is. Alternatively, they could just make the mobs smarter and lower all lvl caps to 20. Glint and the Lich will have to stay the same though.

Just a tiny example.

Think about it. You have two continenets with relatively advanced civilizations who have open harbors to each other. You don't think they figured out a way to use each other's money? Even if it were not precious metals that have intrinsic value (i.e. platinum, gold, and silver), they would have worked out some sort of currency exchange by now, right?

There are nice tie-ins between chapters, if you look for them.

From Ch1 to Ch2, it's the Canthan refugee camps. They serve to introduce the main plot of Factions and if you feel so inclined you can take the ship over and investigate things firsthand. And presumably, get drawn into the conflict.

For Ch2 to Ch1 it's the reverse situation. Fleeing from conflict, perhaps, you find yourself in Kryta. And oh look! The guys in charge there seem to be having a bit of an undead problem...

Levels might not quite match up, but it shouldn't be too different.
