This is not a flame, or a complaint, I am not complaining about the negativity, I am making a positive post.

Even though there has been a few positive posts, not really a balance between all the incredibly, non-constructive negative posts, there have been a few thank you threads to Anet... this is one of them.

I admit, I was a negative person after the nerf of the 55 necro and other solo builds, but I always say, everything happens for a good reason, and this good reason was nightfall. Thank you alot, I have not finished nightfall story, but I am enjoying myself so much, I have max armor, and made about 15k in about 5 hours of really enjoyable play through the story.

I am not sure if it's worth making a thread about this, I just really wanted to express my thank you to Anet, and not go back a few pages and bump some old positive random threads.

The riverside in needs alot more positive threads, as I read in site suggestion. I'm kinda hoping there is less negative threads after this post. I know we wouldn't be anywhere without a good balance of negative and positive threads, but the negativity recently is quite bad about the nerfs and changes.

I don't regret buying nightfall at all either, I mean, no one is forcing anyone to play nightfall, or to quit gw because of a few skill changes.

Anyway, again, thanks alot Anet for bringing a great game, other people, appreciate the fact that people have bothered to spend time and money to make a game give it no monthly fee. I got my nightfall collectors edition from amazon.co.uk for £12 pounds, but I wouldn't be complaining if it was £50. Anyway,

Although im one of the negative thread guys its nice to see a good balence..

Hopefully anet will look at what both sides have to say about the matter. and make a nice educated decision that can please both sides to a certain extent.

although i would have to agree with you that nightfall is a totaly awsome game.

everything about the game itself is awsome.

as has been said before its the Ai and some other core gameplay issues that need fixing..

But nice thread. I for one am enjoying the new voiceactors. But i did like the dudes voice in the prophecies chapter.. it was the voice actor off an anime called scryed

Sid Soggybottom · Nov 22, 2006, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Wow. I'm glad to see a positive thread like this pop up among the sea of negatives. There really are people out there enjoying and playing the game, too bad that they're busy playing to hear from them.

ANET really has done a good job on this game, it's not perfect but it's nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. Keep doing what you're doing ANET.

Alias_X · Nov 22, 2006, 09:56 PM // 21:56

The people who are happy don't need anything changed, those who arent do.

Acillios · Nov 22, 2006, 09:59 PM // 21:59

^ Me too, finally something happy between all those negative posts that vary from: 'I hate you A-net' to 'I stopped playing Guild Wars with all these nerfs' >_> I still enjoy Nightfall, even without the farming

What a lot of people don't remember or were not around for was all the GREAT improvements that have been made in this game since it came out. Do any of you remember having to use points to change your Atts? You were pretty much stuck with whatever you went with. There are always going to be people who complain about this game. Me, I just play and adjust. I'm not Rich, I'm not Rank 8, I'm not wearing FoW Armor. I'm just a decent player with a lot of good friends in my Guild that I enjoy hanging out with. Nightfall is awesome. It has brought a lot of my guildies back to the game. It's a GAME folks. Enjoy it for what it is and don't dwell on what it isn't.

Anyway, I haven't been playing since beta, but I've been around since Refund Points, before SF, about 17 months. I like Guild Wars too. I like most of the changes they've made. I don't like the way PvE is turning into a RA scrub match.

While I agree partially, I also feel that nothing in the game will ever improve if this mentality is taken. Remember the retarded idea of Refund points? Well, people moaned about it, and ANet changed it. Today we have free attribute changes because people were dwelling on what GW wasn't. While people don't like it now, it's generally "complaining" that gets things improved.

AceeBlueEagle · Nov 22, 2006, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Well, my hat is off to the developers of Nightfall. I had grown so tired and frustrated with Factions after completing it.

Nightfall has pulled me back in again. For an idea of how much, I bought NWN2 and have yet to open the box.

/not a fanboi but a pleased customer

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Nov 23, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Like most of the other poster's here (lol, Mercury you missed a reference :P I took the liberty of deleting me own reference) I agree that Nightfall is great and I loved all the other chapters too (I SHALL take on the title of Fanboi WOOT) Also what is awesome, is that after my net got cut down to two hours a day and after the farming nerfhammer, I have found that if you consistently save your money until you beat the game, from noob to finish then you can affor 15k armor! ^.^ This is refreshing knowing that I can get some P I M P armor by just playing through the game, unlike proph (where money and expensive item drops were scarce) and factions (which was just too short) I finally don't have to farm and grind, even tho I will occasionally, since I just love reaping those little termites and watching them hit the floor RAWR! Anyway, good job bringing up the positive. Oh and S Cry Ed was an absolutely awesome anime, I sadly didn't see all of it but from what I saw it was awesome, Arm that transforms into a gun-like appendage FTW! WOOT

At first, I wasn't going to touch this thread much, beyond absolute necessity, but I've gotten a lot of requests for moderation, and they've been valid.
This thread's gotten a bit personal and off-topic, and those posts, along with the references to those posts, have been removed to put it back on track.

Posts don't have to be gushing with praise, and some remain that are fairly neuter to being slightly critical. This is fine, censorship of 'unpopular' opinions is never a goal of moderation.

But where and how these opinions can be expressed is another story altogether.

Some people will find a few mostly harmless posts removed, and it's unfortunate, but they managed to spawn off into minor disaster, whether the intent was innocent or not. However, as they were not really contributing anyway, I felt it was best to remove them regardless.

No removed posts in this thread as of this point have been counted negatively against users involved.

QFT!

I'm your average Joe (or would that be Joe-ette) player, and have rolled with the changes through the last 18 months.

If one can learn to roll with the changes, there wouldn't be so many cries of "nerf!". More along the lines of "Cool! A new challenge to find something else that works!"

Adaptability = the survival of GW players.

Thanks OP. Thanks Anet.

Some Guru Named Kai · Nov 23, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

I completely agree with Addone, I love the storyline gameplay. I was already in love with GW because of Proph's storyline/gameplay intertwining. (I didn't get a chance to play Factions (yet)) However, in proph, a lot of the side quest were abstract, but with Nightfall, I found myself doing all sorts of side quest without realizing it. So, BIG props to the developers, thank you for creating the storyline environment that helped me fall in love (and addicted

) to Guild Wars.

fenix · Nov 23, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

What I personally like best about Nightfall, is the hero system. The best bit is that I can go back to Factions and play through, and it will be HEAPS more fun, because I can use custom builds on my heroes, and not worry about bad henchies or bad pugs.

Best game ever? It's up there, great work Anet

Markus Dragonblood · Nov 23, 2006, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Dear Anet

You complete me

Malice Black · Nov 23, 2006, 01:30 AM // 01:30

Big improvment on the terms of high end gameplay compared to Chapter1.

Even the noob island was interesting...slightly too long but interesting all the same.

*Darcy* · Nov 23, 2006, 08:15 AM // 08:15

This is my first and only on-line game, and if ANet continues as they have, it will be the only one I ever play. It's been a wonderful nine months for me.

Negative posts have their use. They tell ANet where the problems lie. As we have seen, ANet listens and makes changes that fit their concepts.

But positive posts, while derided by many, serve a purpose also. Positive reinforcement is never wasted.

**cosyfiep** · Nov 23, 2006, 09:57 AM // 09:57

As another one who has posted on other not-to-be-named threads (sorry

)

I like much about nightfall....the scenery is great, the length of the story is just right (not too short like factions).....etc, I have been having a good time (albeit frustrating at times) playing thru this new land.....I am glad I purchased it...and I even bought a copy of the ce for it as well (and recently got a gwp ce too).

If you are waiting for the BUT you will need to read another thread....I am keeping my positive attitude for this one up and running......

I hope that anet reads some of these threads and realizes that players DO like nightfall, we are happy with most of it.....but (sorry had to have it here) I also hope they dont disreguard the opinions of ' the others' either.
One of the things I have liked about this game is the fact that you can interact to some extent with the team that created it----with both positive and negative feedback.....many times things have been fixed for just that reason and I do hope that it continues.
Please anet continue to listen to us and thank you.

When thinking how Blizzard and Anet works with games, you may find simillar things like quality over quantity. Also that they did their first Guild Wars long time before release so it was really polished from beginning. Also both companys seriously listen fans. Also I like your Harry Potter quote lol.

Gun Pierson · Nov 23, 2006, 10:42 AM // 10:42

Anet knows I respect and appreciate them, but I can be very critical just because I love the game so much.
