Incoming dumba$$ noob: GW vs Factions

[doobiwan]

Hi all,

Currently staring at the hot chicks on the cover of Factions, I was wondering, If I'm going to start playing GW, which should I buy: GW vanilla, or factions?

Both games ran separate from each other, but if you own either one you cant travel to their counterpart's respective areas.

I would say getting Prophecies ( GW Vanilla ) would be a better beginner game IMO.

At a later stage if you finish Prophecies you can get Factions.

Yeah, I agree with that too. In Factions the difficulty curve is very steep, whereas in Prophecies I was able to solo/hench most of the pre-searing quests, a lot of the post-searing ones and even some missions.

I also agree with the comments above. ArenaNet might claim that one can start with factions, but I do not really agree.

I'm getting the impression this is a close call, a split decision, sheesh can't you guys be more specific

[Ruslan74]

To be more specific is that you will enter the feel of the game more smoothly by playing GW vanilla and plus following the storyline which is entertaining too.

Once you tackle that and get more accustomed to the character development, skills required and enemies encountered you can hop into Factions with the experience required to ENJOY Factions to a better degree than simply lying dead 90% of the time wondering what hit you.

Playing mostly BF2, I've become used to lying dead 90% of the time wondering what hit me . . .
