Be careful if you still have your assassin from the first preview event. I deleted mine and remade him and I could only choose one style of knife and no upgrades for it. I miss my sundering kukris of enchantment.

Nah, this was a PvP char that's why I got to choose a weapon during character creation. It's just that during the first preview you could choose different types of knives with upgrades already on them. Now you can only choose the "PvP knives" with no upgrades.

12v12 matches are awesome! They're hectic, but awesome!


[attachmentid=680]
One of my first 12v12 battles. We won, and we had an awesome minion master on our team, as you can see in the picture.

12v12 now that's just dumb.  Too tell you the truth I don't like GW PvP too much...I find it all so impersonal.  Now if we could have inter-guild combat or places where we can set up matches between people we know and such, that would be good!

You better have actually gone and played it before you posted, because 12v12 is quite fun. And there is interguild combat...its called a guild battle....

I assume you can still play the game as normal without the expansion?

You can play faction without the origenal too. Very logical if you see how GW is made.

Ah and faction is too small and too easy. Lvl 20 in no time, many finished it after the second day. Fight for me go like this most of the time: call a target and your henchway does the work. All you need to do is bond them, arrog less than 3 groups a time and make sure you heal someone so you get exp too. :lol:

Skills I love: flesh of my flesh and life sheat. Those even do wonders on 55hp monks, as I noticed when doing fow a time with my faction char. Had a funny team in fact, me as bonder Mo/Rt, a heal party spammer water E/Mo, a 55hp monk with brains Mo/W, 4 fire nukers E/Me and 1 ss necro with br N/Me.

Anyone got a birthday present? Or has the Kind Of A Big Addic tittle? Or perhaps someone knows something about obsidian Rt and A armor?

Yeeesh, mel, how long did you play 20 hours straight? o.O Sure you level fast, but you need to in order to keep up with the monsters...I was level 13 when my assassin reached the marketplace, me and my level 20 hench pwned the level 20 monsters ^_^ and i didn't die a lot until i got deeper in...plus, the missions are pretty far apart, not like in the original when one ended in the next practically.....
