crepuscular.9047 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Kurzick, i think most of people and guild were Kurzick aligned, because there was this quest outside Lutgardis Conservatory's east entrance that you can complete with sending your henchmen to tag an area, making Kurzick fame much easier to farm than Luxon, there were hundreds of ppl doing the same farm there everyday. Don't know if that quest had changed or not, or has anet added anything equivalent to the Luxon side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Mike Zadorojny.7058 Posted May 24, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted May 24, 2018 Working on testing the Luxon missions and maps was one of my first experiences at ArenaNet. Also, Siege Turtles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcemus.1348 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 It's fun to see how even of a tie this is! And for so many different reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilder.3607 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I absolutely loved Kurzick lore and reading about their different Houses. I also loved the forest atmosphere they lived in with Gothic architecture carved into fucking stone. Man it was fun playing factions for the first time.

Lucky.9421 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Tough choice. I love the Kurzick stone forest aesthetic, on the other hand.... siege turtles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane.5127 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The Luxon npcs had a better look, and a bit more pleasant personalities, but I just love that stone forest... Kurzick had some incredible looking armor too. My main char was an Assassin named 'The Kurzick Dagger' even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tok Timbu.2138 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I miss running through the jade sea and discovering all the creatures encased in blocks of jade that were scattered around. Plus Siege Turtles are win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkicon.7950 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Luxon forever. There's just something about the beauty of the Jade Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathsex.8402 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 goths that live in immense stone castles amidst a dark, giant stone forest? cmon thats an easyyyy pick. everything about their lands are breathtaking and the culture is is great, its nice seeing alternative lifestyles and stuff being represented more in games, even if it wasnt meant that way. pity the luxon armour looks cooler but still cant beat the kurzicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silmarilen.3218 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I originally picked luxon, only switch to kurzick because they had the fast faction farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellegon Mcleod.5931 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Think time to pop back there to see which faction I was supporting but think it was Luxon. Can remember also the stunning views. Also the fun people had in the gathering area while waiting to join an event. Also as the colour of the map kept changing - was first time one coud actually see impact of player choices.

SamMathias.1803 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 This is honestly a really tough choice since I love both factions and their cultures, aesthetics etc. pretty equally. But, I have to go with the Kurzicks because the first set of elite armor I got for my main character (and the one she still wears today) was the elite Kurzick set.

rank eleven monk.9502 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looking at the poll results currently it seems both factions were really spot on (almost equal votes). Personally I preferred Kurzick for 2 reasons: 1. they are much cooler 2. better armor sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather.6401 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Luxon because they had the GIANT turtles and I loved em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashabhi.1365 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I went Kurzick because a friend went Kurzick. Never even considered Luxon until another friend said "Try it, you'll like it..." After trying Luxon, it was so wrong on so many levels. Kurzick all the way! (Sidenote: I did love the Luxon Elite Ele armor... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furby.2693 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Kurzick with my Guild, Luxon by Heart. R12 Kurzick, R9 Luxon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAllerdyce.3941 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Luxon, easily. Siege turtles are awesome and the Jade Sea is one of the coolest areas between all of the games/campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheal.8263 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Despite me being German , i side with Luxon and not with the kind of german theme related Kurzicks, out of these reasons: - Luxon sounds just much nicer, Kurzick has a foul language sounding nickname in German, I won't write out here now ... - I liked the turtle and kind of corsair like theme of Luxons much better, than the kind of sorrowful Goth Style of the Kurzicks.. and who can say really no to some lovely huge turtles which have giant cannons on their back :D. - Their Armor Sets were simply visually more beautiful and convincing to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's a difficult choice to make, since both have their good points. I like the architecture and generally more civilised bent of the Kurzicks, with each house having its own separate flavour. If I had to choose just one and I was making the decision myself (my guild went with Kurzicks), though, I'd probably go with the Luxons. I preferred their armour, the Jade Sea was one of my favourite zones and had some of my favourite opponents (visually, anyway, I probably swore at some of them quite a bit!), the concept of siege turtles and travelling on giant sea beasts was a compelling one, and on the whole I preferred the Luxon armour sets to the Kurzicks. (My GW1 characters have a mix of both, but out of the Factions sets, most of the ones I just _had_ to have were either the 15k Luxon or the 15k Canthan sets.)
