Quick question about the expansion. 

Ok, I was just wondering if any one knew if there were any reqs about your chars being able to go over to Cartha (or however it's spelled).

Do you have to beat the game?
Do you have to be assened?

My friend said that you need to be assened and have LA unlocked, is this true?

If anyone could tell me that would be great, thanks.

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

Cantha i believe? or something like that. i can't think of it right now.

the way it is going to work is you must be ascended to go; each character if you want to play in Cantha must be ascended. the place that takes to you the new Factions continent hasn't been said; speculation would be augry rock or somewhere in desert. i do believe that anyone can use the weapons as long as you get them...so hope that helps :-) so non-cantha visitors can use factions items (except armor i'd imagine)

my guess would be that when you get crossed over you'll have to "learn the ways of cantha" and start from level 1. it would be kind of stupid to have all these level 20's going around in the earlier quests...it would be pointless and not a good idea. i'm sure there will be some sort of ascension process in Cantha to come over to Tyria...

No way.

That would be one of the stupidest things they could do.




Will make a nicer sig when I think of something ^^

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

i don't think it would be stupid...i mean think about...how quickly boring the quests would be if you ran in there with your level 20's...it would get old very-very fast.

especially when it's works together, but is still considered a seperate game...so you have to remember there are going to be ALOT of low levels running around.

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

dont u have to just have LA why would you have to be ascended. Even having LA is stupid. Any new people that get factions and the original have to nearly beat the game with 1 character to get them to the other place. You should be able to switch places from anywhere at any lvl and no matter what missions youve done. Cause im trying to get my friend into GW and I want him to buy both but if he has to beat Profocy first i think he should just get Factions

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

If you add Factions to your current account, and you wish to take your exsisting characters into Cantha, then your current characters have to be ascended. That is it. ^^

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

selfdisplaced, do u honestly believe that they'd restart our lvl 20 chars?!
That'd just be too stupid, + we'd still have all of our skills.

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

maby they put you to a place like Droks? where everyone from there is like lvl 24+ (baddies i mean)



but if you started at lvl 1 you would play through a bunch of towns before reaching the place where all the higher lvles would zone too

yea, i do. i think the Factions game would fall into a "who cares" attitude if you could go in and kill monsters so easily. you gotta remember, this is a STAND-ALONE game.

In the current game, we reach level 20 at about 50-60% through the game (Desert). In Factions, Gaile has stated that we reach level 20 at about 20%. That's 80% of the content made for level 20 players...

ANet is smarter than you give them credit for. They can see stuff like this coming.

New Characters starting in Factions will level up to 20 in the training area and get ascended before gaining access to the big map of Cantha..

This means your Prophecies characters will not start at lvl 1 again, or have to endure alot of easy quests and missions.

This also means you have to be lvl 20 and Ascended in Cantha to come to Tyria, Lion's Arch most likely.



I've seen a rich man beg. I've seen a good man sin. I've seen a tough man cry.
I've seen a loser win And a sad man grin. I heard an honest man lie.
I've seen the good side of bad And the down side of up And everything between.
You know where it ends. Yo, it usually depends on where you start.

At least that's what they say when you play the game.

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

Well, if your afraid of that, just use Factions as a stand-alone game, and have all your characters start at level 1. ANet isn't telling you to combine both games.

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

That is why you get two knew slots with two knew classes to add to your current game. And beside's the real challegen in the game happens after ascension. And Gaile has said that it comes much sooner in Factions that it did in Prophecies.

I have a question, how/where do you combine a factions account with the flameseekers account?

RE: Quick question about the expansion. 

Once you get the game key to Factions, just add the key to your account. And you can do that once you login, but before you choose a character.

Click on Edit account at the lower left of the screen, and then click on edit keys. And then do as it says. ^^
