Title: What do I need? Post by: Calantus on August 23, 2006, 11:35:16 PM So I've decided to give GW a shot since I seem to have more unused free time than before. I can't seem to find a solid answer as to what I need though. Do I need the original game in addition to the expansion boxes or is the latest expansion box enough in itself? Also, is there another expansion on the near horizon I would be better off holding out for?
Title: Re: What do I need? Post by: stray on August 23, 2006, 11:43:00 PM You just need the original game to play. You don't even need a box. You can order and download the launcher from NCSoft's website (which will download what you need as you play).
The expansion can pretty much be a stand alone experience (with entirely new races, classes, zones, etc) or played later with your standard Guild Wars characters. Title: Re: What do I need?

However, you're stuck with asian looking characters if you do that! Title: Re: What do I need?

Did they change the models for the original classes in Factions?Title: Re: What do I need? Post by: Llava on August 24, 2006, 10:27:30 AM Yes.
If you have both campaigns, you get an option to create a Tyrian (original) or Canthan (Factions) character. For Ritualists and Assassins there is only one set of art, but for every other profession you have a different set of faces, hair styles, and armor looks to choose from. |
