in Guild Wars
i duno about you guys but ifoud that factions was way to eay..took me not even a full day to beat the game..on both side i got everything done.. i mean its a great game and all but i think ANet shoulda made the story line longier, and its not that easy to level up.

Although I don't completely agree, I do agree that leveling was too fast and too easy. In prophecies at least it took me a few minutes to hit level 2, in factions I walked through a door and leveled up. I still prefer the core storyline over factions.
Do you mean literally one day...or 24 hours of gameplay?
I don't think it's physically possible to do every mission (including the running between the missions) faster than about 10 to 15 hours. Even if you had a full team of 7 guildies or mates running you through it, I still think travel time and mission time alone would make for about 10 hours of "play"...not that it would be REAL play.
I've spent 90 hours on my 'sin so far, and am still finding new things to do and see. I'm up to 95% on my Canthan Cartography, and I'm still having fun. If you want to rush through content, and not really play the game...then I suppose you can do that too.
pfff , a rusher , you are the best , NEXT !

For a "sideshow" the PvE in GW is some of the BEST in the business. In fact I haven't seen a better put-together storyline in any MMO.
The fact that it's compact, well-connected and "short" (unlike a standard MMO) makes it all the better. The great thing about GW is that there's so much other stuff to do than just the storyline.
I accuculty found the storyline in GW really fun ive played 48hrs on my W/Mo in RP mode an 1 hr on my W/N in PvP arenas
Be4 i bought the game i read the reviews all of said PvE in GW sucked i found out it was teh best storyline i have ever seen an the PvE really impressed me (my thoughts where that PvE would suck 2
)
An how can u scimm through the game in 1day it takes me 1 day to finish 3 missions an i get a couple quest in

You'll probably like WoW rockwell...but I expect to see you on the WoW forums in a couple of weeks saying:
WoW is so short, I beat it in a week.
PS. It annoys me that people "bag" a game by saying I finished it "this quick". When what they've really done is TRY to finish it as quickly as possible (using every possible means to do so)...mainly so they can boast about how quickly they finished it.
I prided myself in finishing Factions with my first character very early on, I purposefully played it rather "fast", wanting to get a complete overview of the story...but I would NEVER then go on to complain that the game was short. During my first playthrough, I didn't ask for anyones help at any stage, no runs, no guides, no bunch of guildies running me through (none of my guildies were near finishing it anyway), I worked through the whole thing myself, finding places, working out missions, henching through all but the almost-impossible-to-hench missions, in effect playing my character as if she was new to the world and exploring it herself. It took me about 30 hours. I thought that was fairly fast. To me it felt fulfilling and engrossing...I did it justice.
impossible, this is just showing off
you cannot complete the whole game in 1 day and having done both sides
you can however as said inhere already do the missions and the running in between of it in about 15 hrs if you are lucky and about 20-25 if you need time to find parties and such...
but completing the game?, everything done on both sides? i bet you left every quest as it was.

Exactly my point! It is impossible to beat THE WHOLE GAME u gotta get every single quest, mission, 100% exploration to beat the whole game.

I dont even think that having 100% of everything could be considered 'beating the game' because the gameplay was build so primarily around PvP, you would pretty much also have to exert yourself as the absolute best PvPer in guildwars as well to truely have every aspect of this game beat. Beating a mmorpg in general is a silly idea. Its like claiming that you beat tetris. You cant beat tetris, the blocks just keep moving faster till you lose.
I have no clue how you could have even finished all the missions within 24 hours though. I havent even trying to get master on each mission and I think I've spent over 24 hours without getting my first character all the way through, and then I'll have to bring my other characters (I have too many for my own good) through it too! Long ways to go!
I agree that PvE is a sort of 'sideshow' to guildwars, where PvP is the main attraction... Its pretty funny though, seeing how guildwars has some of the best PvE I've ever seen in a mmorpg. Ironic really. I guess it is rather linear, but other mmorpgs hardly have dynamic quests. I do remember in SWG that sometimes npcs would spawn at random and hand out quests, thats pretty much the only dynamic quests I've ever seen in a mmorpg. Other than that, you are pretty much stuck walking around trying to find guys to give you quests, and guildwars has enough of those to keep you busy, plus all the coop missions which exceed all other mmorpgs instanced dungeons and so on.
I think the reason guildwars has fun PvE is because the whole gameplay was built around PvP, not PvE. Most mmorpgs make a game thinking about PvE, then try to add PvP later. Guildwars did the opposite. And for that reason, every PvE encounter plays out more like PvP... As opposed to the opposite, which you see in a lot of other mmorpgs. I would also attribute the great skill and class balancing in GW to this, at least partially.

Although to their credit they are at least trying to make things dynamic like that. Not always the same NPCs in the same spot with the same quest.
The DJ has spoken...
There is sort of an endgame but the endgame doesn't end the game....
But reaching endgame just means that you have played through adn gained knowledge, time to start pvp or make a different character and run it through again! Thing is that even running two characters through. the professions are so different that it will seem like a different game. For example playing a mesmer through the game you will be hanging farther back in your team trying to shut down opponents and prevent them from harming your team. If you play through with a warrior you will be at the front lines trying to stay alive and do as much damage as possible to your opponents. Everything in GW varies so much that you can actually play through it twice and have a great time both times!!!
