Gaile in Marketplace ID1 24/3/06

Gaile was in at about 7pm GMT. She spent a long time there and answered quite a few questions. Look out, Binky's featuring in Chapter 3, whoever he/she is...

Sorry about the messy editing..

Guild Wars: Blinky's Spelling Adventure? o.o

Rated T for teens?

Binky's Wrath:
"Target foe is asked to spell *insert long word here*. Target takes 50 holy damage from Binky if he makes a mistake"

Things of note:

1. "Yes, the skills you acquire are yours to keep."
2. "No, when you purchase Factions, you will not start with a Level 20 character for Roleplaying."
3. "Cantha is not as large a map [than Tyria], but it is more densely packed."
4. "Luxon and Kurzick faction will carry over."
5. "You may consider that the second new skill is merely a placeholder."
6. "At a point, you will be offerred the ability to take your Canthan characters to Tyria."
7. "I don't believe that you'll see a large update like Sorrow's Furnace this go-round. We working on Campaign 3.
8. " Campaign 3 will be released in about 6 months from the release of Factions."

I just really really really really, for the love of god, really really want a Hair stylist, I so love my character (and her FoW), but want to change her hair soooooo badly >.<

thx for the screens

Thanks for those screens. Lots of good info in there. Not sure I'm thrilled about the smaller map. I can't wait to get home and jump back into Cantha.

No problem. I'm happy that they're maintaining support for Chapter 1 coz I'm not sure if I'm going to get Chapter 2 yet.

So you definately have to be guilded and in an alliance to have access to all the content - damn.

Why is that a problem? If you dont have a guild, form one or join one. Invite your friends. Get into PVP. Ally with your friend's guilds. This is a team game, and having a guild definately makes it 10x more enjoyable.

Right, because getting a group of people together only to have them fight all the time (don't tell me this doesn't happen in a guild) is really fun. Sure, I love to deal with guild politics and cliques whenever I logon to play something for fun.

Some of us prefer to play with the NPCs to avoid running into those types of situations. What a shame, I was actually looking forward to Factions.

I agree, sometimes people can be a real jerk. Its already difficult enough to pug with a jerk for the duration of a mission, much less an "indefinite" amount of time in a guild. I often seek solace in solitude, comfort without company.

9. No, you cannot do quests in an area controlled by another faction. That is why you want to help to gain that control.

Guess that answers the question of whether there will be restricted non-bonus content for PvE players or not. /sigh

Hmm, the whole "No Sorrows Furnace" thing leaves me, worried. I guess they for the most part are giving up on their previous promises of free content updates on a short term basis, and by that I mean new items, missions, explorable areas, etc. Oh well *cries*.

she mentions the edge of extinction problem... finally gonna fix hoh ty ty ty
