okay, what the Christ was ANet thinking with those stupid a$$ wurms? i got mine today and thats the dumbest thing i have ever seen. you cant tell wahst going on and sure i have 3000 hit points, but i die constantly.

wurms = dumbest.idea.ever

I PM you yesterday and didn’t get any respond. Maybe the wurms were keeping you busy?... the idea of wurms is good but the execution is not very good.. Wish i had few more healing skills and atk skills, and then they would have been fun to control.

Wurms are cool imo ^^

The problem is that they don't have any "armor", and so their armor level is the same as the one of your character.
For example: if you play as an ele in a wurm, you'll suffer more then if you play with a warrior/dervish/parangon.
There are several "combos" that can be done, and work well (well if you play with "humans", because henchman/heroes are pretty dumb when transformed in a wurm^^).
Oh and don't forget that if you wear a melee weapon, your wurm will do melee attacks.

Last thing, wurms are cool because they can /dance and /roar ^^

meh, id rather be on foot and burning things:)

i am near the end of nightfall, and while its been a fun game, neither factions or nightfall can compare to the fun offered by prophecies.

nightfall just isnt all that great

IMO Factions was way too short and its storyline was boring and predictable.
Graphically it was really cool (the jade sea on the luxon side is incredible), but its levels mainly consisted on small corridors (ie: the whole place around kaineng or the kurzick side), with no place left for exploration (what I liked in tyria or nightfall).
When you finished the tutorial island (or when you "imported" a tyrian character), you arrived on a very very very boring and uninspired place: this huge area on the north of factions, with its small streets and brownish graphics...
Add to this that nearly all the quests were "fed ex" quests (I read on a recent interview that game devs -when preparing eye of the north- had a recommendation that said "everytime you create a fed ex quest, grenth kills a kitten^^ I guess that the GW:Factions lesson is learned).
This whole concept around kurzicks and luxons seemed cool, but forcing people to grind these 10k factions points by doing stupid quests or "simili pvp" (alliance battles) wasn't a good idea at all.
And even if your "territory" wins, there's no bonus for you (well the only thing "interesting" is that huge guilds/alliances can "own" a town, that allows them to create fireworks or buy things to the merchant cheaper...great).
And finally: this STUPID STUPID STUPID "time trial" coop missions, man I was so pissed when I discovered that you had to hurry to get the highest reward...

Factions is an accumulation of bad ideas IMO.
The only cool thing is the art direction (armors and landscapes are really cool...well except the area on the north of the continent^^).

Back to eye of the north, there are some new videos on ign:
