Factions Preview Event

Join us the weekend of March 24th for the FactionsTM Preview Event! This will be your first chance to visit the breathtaking continent of Cantha, the newest world of the Guild Wars saga. During the event, you will get the chance to play roleplaying and player-versus-player characters, and to pursue a variety of gameplay options, including story missions, competitive missions, and a new form of PvP called alliance battles!

Your FPE Experience

The Factions Preview Event could begin with your creation of a Factions roleplaying character in an area of Cantha called The Marketplace. There, a series of NPCs will provide you information about the factions of Cantha—The Luxons and the Kurzicks—and will assist you in getting to the capital city of the faction that you choose. Once you arrive in the capital city, you may explore the areas of the world that are opened for this event. You may also undertake the four Factions missions available in the FPE or engage in an exciting new form of PvP, the alliance battle. Here is a bit of information about the mission types that you can experience:

Story Missions: Experience two of the missions that let you participate in the quest to stop the traitor Shiro Tagachi. Visit the outposts for Eternal Grove and Gyala Hatchery to jump right into the storyline!

Competitive Missions: There are two teams within a competitive mission; one each representing the Kurzicks and the Luxons. Getting into the mission is quick and easy: You simply click "Enter Mission" and you automatically are partied with other members of your faction in either Ft. Aspenwood or The Jade Quarry.

Competitive mission objectives vary from mission to mission, but here is an example: The Kurzicks are nearing completion of a new sonic weapon, called the 'Vengeance of the Gods,' that will give them a significant advantage in the war. In the Ft. Aspenwood competitive mission, you will join the Luxons in an attempt to break into the Kurzick fortress and destroy the weapon before it can be completed, or you will join the Kurzicks and attempt to repel the Luxon invasion. Both sides will be competing for control of amber mines, as amber can be used to strengthen fortress defenses, increase the speed at which the Vengeance of the Gods is constructed, or increase the power of the massive siege turtles that the Luxons are using to break into the Kurzick fortress. During the mission, you will encounter members of the opposing faction, as they are trying to take control of the same amber mines.

As with any competitive mission, although you will encounter enemy players, completing these missions relies more heavily upon killing NPC’s or monsters rather than engaging members of the opposing faction in combat. Should you choose to engage the enemy faction, you will find that the gameplay mechanics are different than elsewhere: There is no penalty to those who are slain (no death penalty) and those who die are re-spawned quickly.


Try Alliance Battles!

On the other hand, you might want to bring in your existing PvP characters, or create new ones, to take part in PvP on the Battle Isles. Or you can bring your roleplaying characters to join an alliance battle in Cantha. For alliance battles, naturally your guild will want to ally with others within your faction. By speaking to your faction ambassador in your capital city, either House zu Heltzer or Cavalon, you can join the battle to help your faction gain control of outposts. The combat is 12 versus 12 consisting of 3 groups of 4 players each playing against one another either collectively or as individual battle squads. The world map will visibly change as alliances conquer more of Cantha with their victories and the winners will be recognized within the game.

A Few More Details:

* For the Factions Preview Event, your newly-created characters will begin at Level 20.

* You will start out with 20 skills and will then speak to an NPC to select a secondary profession.

* Selecting a secondary profession will gain you an additional 20 skills.

* Your guild must choose a faction—Luxon or Kurzick.

* You can play four higher-level missions—two story missions and two competitive missions—appropriate for your Level-20 characters.

* You will be able to experience 15 quest areas.

* For all Factions roleplaying characters, certain game elements will be inaccessible. These include: guild halls, the Xunlai (storage) Agents, and Battles Isles. Ship travel to and from Cantha will also be disabled during the event. These game elements are locked down to help assure that unfinished or unbalanced items acquired during the event do not impact the game economy in the long term.

* Challenge missions and elite missions will not be available during the FPE.

* Item and skill unlocks earned by both your roleplaying and PvP characters during the FPE will remain on your account.

* After the event, all Factions roleplaying character inventories and levels will be reset in preparation for the launch of Factions.

Jur jur!!!! Ya llega.... :master: :master: :master: :master:

Pero qué ganitas tengo!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pero el evento no era el dia 27???????? :blink:
Vaya, debo apresurarme a gastar las invitaciones... :unsure:

Buenas una pregunta tonta. :blink:

Para la beta del factions, se necesita el código que te dan en la página de game, no?

Ups tengo que darme prisa a activarlo. Pero el código del Pre-order, no te a comprar el juego en game? :angry:

Venga ya me direis algo.

En el evento de Factions puede participar:

- todos los que tengan GW (incluido tu mismo, Case)
- todos los que reciban la invitación (te la puedes hacer a ti mismo)
- los que hagan el pre-order online, no sirve reservar el pre-order físico o reservar el juego, tiene que ser el pre-order online (te dan una key y una invitación para un amigo tuyo)

Si te haces una autoinvitación, crearás una cuenta nueva para jugar pero lo que desbloquees no servirá para tu propia cuenta. La autoinvitación sirve para jugar sin tener que borrar uno de tus personajes.

Dhauf y yo hemos reservado el juego en el Fnac

Gracias por la información. Tomo nota. A mi también me parecen más serios la gente de Fnac que los de Game/Centro Mail.

Nota aclaratoria:

es una reserva estandard, igual que cuando llamas al restaurante para reservar una mesa.

El día X cuando FNAC reciba las copias de Factions, 2 las guardará bajo llave hasta que vayamos a buscarlas.

Pasando de pre-orders, orders y post-orders y cualquier otra forma de order que pueda haber :yes:

Pues yo también me estaba planteando reservar el Factions en FNAC, porque no me fio nada de una tienda que pueda tener desprecintado un juego online (vale, puede que Game no lo tenga así, pero cada uno con sus neuras :lol: ).

¿Habeis reservado el juego tal cual o la edición coleccionista? ¿Os han dicho si la traerían? Intentaré pasarme este fin de semana (como que no...) o a principios de la próxima a reservarlo. Otro detalle será el de la portada, porque me parece que había dos...

La edición coleccionista sólo se venderá en Centro Mail/Game asín que... (me da miedo abrir la caja y que el supuesto poster sea una fotocopia y ver en la puerta de centro mail un tenderete de venta de posters factions... :lol:)

Bueno, a lo que vamos, que la reserva sólo es del juego standard. Lo que no sabía era lo de las carátulas, supongo que podrás elegir si no tardas 2 semanas en pasar a recogerlo, pero sólo es una suposicion... :blink:

entonces, si kiero la edicion de coleccionista la tengo k pedir por centro mail ?¿?
