Guild Wars!

[Yoshi]

GameStop got more Collector's Editions of Factions in, so mine is en route overnight.

This guild needs some work. We need more niggas, and some ts/vent (which Nick is working on). Coming from WoW which always had people on and shit it is weak to be the only guild person on at 8:30pm.

A hex user is only as good as the warrior they have with em. IMHO

That really stands true. I can only stick with people I plan ahead of time with otherwise they tend to go their own way after I've been marking targets to everybody.

How is the character customization tools? In WOW you'd see 3 or 4 of the same look running around.

It's about a million times better than WoW, but that is admittedly not difficult. It doesn't touch Oblivion or CoH/V. All the characters are pretty hot.

There's quite a bit, but you'll still see some characters that don't look too much different from one-another.

The fact that the hockey playoffs are going on isn't helping that, at least for me. I'll be on a lot tonight though.

I might be on sporadically on Saturday, but I'm buying Factions on Sunday and will go in for the long haul Monday.

I installed Ventrilo on the TNL server but I might have done something wrong. I wanted to install it on the server so anyone that's on could connect and the connection wouldn't die if some particular person logged off. The service appeared to start, but I'll take another peek.

I haven't hit up mzo for a GW channel, but I don't think I've seen more than eight on at a time at GW anyway.

not grate, but not that bad, you get about 7 faces, and 10 hairstyles, a number of haircolors, and usually you get 4-6 skin colors, and a scaling slider to make your guy tall or short, but nothing fancy like swg or heroes. i ahvent seen too many that looked like me too. also the factions versions are different than prophecies ones. "prophecies" are the psudo-medevil looking guys, and "factions" are chinese/japanese looking. so you get a different 7 faces for making guys in prophecies than you do in factions, but they can cross over about half way through, my prophecies elementalist/mesmer is now wearing mostly factions outfits.

diff is right though that the characters are definitly eye pleasing, the girls mostly look like strippers and the guys are suitably rugged looking(outside of the male elementalist,)and the male warriors are pretty ripped, very conanish. now we need more people on, between work, city of heroes and exercise, i am not on a lot, mostly at nights.

I am enjoying the game more, as I have gotten more skills. The problem is it seems hard to find a group in town, the people seem to be selling shit more than going on a quest. The henchmen are acceptable but still... Ill keep messing around with it. I *LOVED* Diablo 1 and played it all the time and this feels a lot like it. With the towns taking the place of the chat rooms. Are some districts more "inclined" to be for trade/grouping/etc.?

So far:

+very great graphics, and great technology
+lots of skills for lots of options
+very good enemy AI, probably thanks to the instancing, its way better than any MMO I've played.
-hard to find a group
-need more TNLers on.
-armor system seems somewhat daunting.
