Editorial Review: Product Description: Guild Wars: Factions is a stand-alone adventure you can play independently or as part of the Guild Wars world. The stand-alone Guild Wars: Factions is the second campaign in ArenaNet's massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Explore an entire new continent, with a wide range of professions, skills, missions, and monsters. There are also new options for Cooperative and Player-versus-Player (PvP) play, and enhanced features for guilds. Amazon.com Product Description: When NCsoft released the original in 2005, it promised a revolution in Massively Multiplayer Online games: an online game with no monthly fees and completely standalone expansion packs. With simple gameplay, and endless multiplayer and solo options, the first game gained a devoted following of experienced and new players alike. Exactly one year later, Guild Wars Factions widens the horizons of Guild Wars, almost doubling the size of the world. The expansion pack offers whole new worlds to explore, and it doesn't require Guild Wars to play. Players can explore the new continent of Cantha by traveling from the lands of Tyria or they can travel in Cantha alone--and even those who only own one of the Guild Wars games can invite their friends to join their questing areas and share the game content without forcing each other to buy the other game.
Cantha's Warring Factions The expansion pack adds whole new ways to experience the game: alliances and factions. In Tyria, players banded together in small guilds and warred against each other, but Cantha is a land of much more complicated politics. Guilds can join together in alliances, align themselves with one of Cantha's two warring factions, and battle other alliances to gain and hold territory. The epic Faction Battles can change the face of Cantha in real time, shifting borders and changing the control of entire cities and towns as battles are won and lost. The Battle Isles play host to most of the new Player vs. Player content, providing alliances a huge battlefield to supplement the Tyrian arenas.
Alliances will also have access to two new kinds of missions, Alliance Missions and Elite Missions. Alliance Missions feature multiple teams battling for control over resources and strategic locations, earning faction points for their alliance. The best and most powerful alliances can venture on Elite Missions, which are designed to be the ultimate challenge for even the most experienced teams. New Player Options Solo players have not been neglected either, and those who choose to remain separate from alliance and faction politics still have a lot to enjoy in the expansion. Two new professions are available to the denizens of Cantha: the deadly Assassin and dark Ritualist. Assassins wield daggers with fatal precision and can teleport to strike down enemies up close, while Ritualists summon the spirits of the dead to control the battlefield. New faces, hair styles and armor sets give the two new professions their own distinct look, evoking the exotic feel of Cantha. To allow players to experience the new professions without deleting their old characters, four extra character slots will be added to players who have previously existing Guild Wars accounts.
While the level limit has not yet been raised from 20, players who still love the six professions from the core game have not been forgotten. Dozens of new skills are available for the older professions as well. Players have more options than ever before, and the new story missions and quest areas will test their ability to adapt to new styles and situations. Hundreds of all-new weapons, items and pets offer characters a huge amount of customization, and a new mission type will put each player's skill to the test. Challenge missions are cooperative missions with scoring objectives, and NCsoft will post the highest scores and display the rankings in-game, adding a new competitive element to the game that doesn't require direct combat. NCsoft has taken care to cater to their entire player base with Guild Wars Factions. Team players have new options that range from Braveheart-style mass PvP battles to the online RPG version of organized sporting events. Solo players and lone wolves have plenty of character customization to play with as well as the continuation of the Guild Wars story. Even those who only own Guild Wars Factions or Guild Wars can expand their game experience by sampling the content with players who own the other game, making Factions an expansion in the true sense: it broadens the horizons without being essential to enjoying the complete game.

 Rating: - Solid, but not for the beginnerFactions is the second game in the Guild Wars series. It can stand alone, like its predecessor (Prophecies). But it's unlike the first game in many respects. The most obvious difference is the difficulty. Prophecies starts out slowly, with an extended tutorial and a slow leveling curve. You can make it halfway through the story before hitting the maximum level of 20, and it can take quite a few hours to do so, since you'll go through numerous story missions along the way. ...

If you want action without complication, try Runescape ... the game leaves my character stranded and me confused. Sorry to all the GWF lovers but this game blows. Rating: - Guild Wars AsiaFirst the basics: this is the second chapter of the Guild Wars series. The first is now called "Prophecies" (Guild Wars). Despite the sound of that, this chapter, as well as the one following this one called "Nightfall" (Guild Wars Nightfall), are independently playable chapters that do NOT have any prerequisites. In other words, you don't need to have the first chapter to play the second chapter, etc. Also like the other two chapters, there is NO MONTHLY FEE for playing ... Read More Rating:  - Factions: Fun vs. FunGuild Wars Factions is the second in a series of awesome games from NCSoft that started with the original Guild Wars. Factions takes us to the continent of Cantha where two factions are fighting for control. Which side are you going to choose? With two new main classes - the assassin and the ritualist - along with a full set of skills for both of them. Factions also allows you, once you have progressed far enough, to cross over to the Prophecies campaign and or engage in the Guild Wars: Eye ... Read More Rating:  - Good GameGraphics are really pretty. MMORPGs are not my faaaavorite type of game, but if it is, you'd probably be in love with this game. Similar a bit to Morrowind, except there's no rain, nor can you jump or interact with buildings. I guess it'd be a crossing between Morrowind and WoW? Browse for similar items by category:
