Factions or Nightfall?

**tie148** · 2010-06-06

I want a real genuine anwser.

Im stuck at a dilemma sort of as my guildwars account has been forgotten and i can not remember my accounts name. So i am going to get factions or Nightfall.

I would want some bad points of each and good points of each

I would most likely buy the one i dont choose at a later date.

What do you guys suggest

I will not have prophicies by the way.

Thankyou!

I would choose factions if you are a pvp person.

Nightfall is awesome, my favourite RP atm.

If you want to play any of the new content, you'll need prof. If I were you, I'd just get the trilogy and EOTN.

I think the trilogy is about the price of one game if not lower.

Factions
Ugly city
2 Factions make PvE a little painfull when merchants wont speak to you (unless GuildHall)
Great extra PvP arenas with a little PvE style to it (NPC's)
Many double skills from Original

good for some things
Story is really crappy
Assassins can be great for farming
Ritualist are fun in PvP to be a pain (support character)

Nightfall
Good Story
Heroes (customizable henchmen)
Nice looking setting compared to the first half of Factions
dervish is pretty sweet, paragon also if you know how to play it.
A few PvE only skills

I'm sure I'm forgetting things but that should give you an idea.

Personally I prefer Nightfall but I'm a big PvP player.

Since your location thingy says you're in Nottingham, I'd just like to point out that in the UK, buying the Guild Wars Complete Collection package is usually cheaper than buying an individual campaign, especially if you get it online. It contains Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North, and I think you get a couple of extra things like MOX and the fire imp as well. Strongly suggest looking for a reasonably priced copy, if you haven't already made your purchase.

Nightfall for sure. As said before, a fun and enjoyable storyline and you dont have to use those preset henchman that appear in each city.

If you must pick between the two, examine your character's profession & what you'll be doing with it.

If you're out to do primarily PVE, Nightfall will give you a headstart with its heroes.

Factions would be better for a PVP buff.

Well, you CAN probably get Trilogy(Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall) at GameStop for about $29.99, or you can probably find Guild Wars Complete Pack(With Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and EOTN) for around $40 or $50 at Wal-Mart.
I can't really remember the prices.

Use your force dude.. not your mind... You will see the right path to the darkside...............

**armoredangel** · 2010-08-10

I Personally like Nightfall better than Factions, but if you're a guild leader I would get Factions first. but Nightfall has Heroes.....

**boomut2004** · 2010-10-05

Factions ftw

**flonked** · 2010-10-20

I had a blast playing through both, although I think I had the most fun playing through factions on my rit. But it's nice to have access to the heroes in NF, so you should just get the trilogy. Once you get out of the city in factions the environments are beautiful.
