Even with the small bit of information that was provided.. I am very excited on what Guild Wars Nightfall is all about. I know there are many people looking down on this chapter, but as of right now it seems very promising. I do really hope though that the PvE aspect of the game is much more ephasized than Guild Wars Factions. I mean comon, there is still a great handful of PvE goers in the Guild Wars community. =)

for some reason i kinda doubt there's any new skills for factions characters.

that's the difference between "core" and the expansions. even if they did i'd assume that you wouldn't be able to start a rit in nightfall for instance.

kinda a shame if that's the case after a few more expansions. the sin and rit skill lists (as well as the dervish and paragon's) will start to look really short.

think how much money you won't have to spend getting every skill on your existing characters. rits and sins will be a free ride.

I'm confident Anet won't let us down. be patient they definately will implement alot of things requested by most of us for the past 6 months. we will see a good improvement in this Campaign. Only reason why I'm saying this, is because Nightfall is being made by the developing team that made Proph. Team 2 was ok, I enjoyed Factions. But I really thing Team 1 will do great.

I'd wager that info posted on EBGames is mostly true. If not then who wrote the info about the Guild Wars story? I can't wait

Konrow · Jul 25, 2006, 03:29 AM // 03:29

ok this sounds great. especially the henchie stuff and more PvE. I'm starting to get impatient tbh.

I know games shouldn't necessarily be judged on graphics but compared to other games that are coming out around the same time, its graphics will seem inferior and judging by the characters, they don't seem to have improved an awful lot from the origional GW.

if your gonna complain about low level graphics...tlak about WoW

good god give anet a break

Nightfall and Factions don't have any tie's. Sin's and Rit's are unique to the factions chapter, as Dervish and Paragon will be unique to Nightfall, and as every 2 new class's will be unique to their chapter.

While it may seem unfair for certain class's to keep getting new skills (the core 6) just consider how many skills are never used anyway..

aside from that, I can't wait, can't wait to equip my war with a scythe

I'm gonna have to agree with you there. I'm pretty sure that as long as A-Net continues to release chapters that include new professions, there won't be any new skills for the chapter exclusive professions.

However, I can definitely see A-Net releasing Chapter 4 or 5 with no new professions just so they can add new skills to the Chapter 2-4 classes. If A-Net doesn't have to worry about providing 150 new skills for new classes, they can bring all the older professions up to par and then move on again.

If the OP is correct then ... wow ... the list of features sounds incredible! Hero vs. Hero? Awesome. Customizable henchmen? Awesome X 2. Adaptable gaming experience? Awesome X 3. Just so ... awesome.

Hope this turns out to be all true!

No trading posts or in-game auctions still? Pity.

dreamhunk · Jul 25, 2006, 04:54 AM // 04:54

I was reading the forums this evening and started to get that déjà vu feeling. Back in 2004, when we announced Guild Wars Prophecies, we saw a lot of retailers pick up on the news and post about the game on their sites. That was good – we appreciated them getting the word out that our game was coming, and they, of course, profited from sharing the info by lining up sales of the preorder and the game.

However, there were some problems with what they posted: Some of it just wasn't factual. For instance, how many veterans remember the "cloth map" that was allegedly going to be part of the Prophecies Collector's Edition? Or how about the supposed "Special Edition" that at least one retailer offered, with a contents list like the CE contents but a price that was $20 lower? Does anyone remember about 412 "release dates," too?

The problem with all these things is: The information did not come from ArenaNet. The information was wrong.

We love to share information. We're excited about Nightfall and can't wait to tell you about it: facts, figures, dates, the whole nine yards! So if we had things nailed down, we would announce details from the rooftops! But things are not locked down yet and neither the box contents nor the game content is finalized. Therefore, we're not making any announcements.

Bottom line: Wait to hear it from ArenaNet. We'll give you the straight info, and as soon as we can.

Has Gaile commented, then, on whether or not the Assassin and Ritualist are getting new skills?

I find this proposed trend of leaving non-core classes by the wayside disturbing.

I really, really hope you are right! I'm not sure if I'd want to play my rit or make a assassin if there weren't any new skills or anything in nightfall...That would really suck if assassins and rits no longer got support....

But i LOVE the customizable henchies! Yay accually being able to do missions when you can't find any players to do it with!

Its what I've always dreamed of since I started playing GW!

The hero battle thing sounds cool too.

This isthe coolest news I've heard about nightfall yet, but since it isn't exactly officail, I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up too much yet...

jackie · Jul 25, 2006, 05:19 AM // 05:19

Everything sounds good so far, but nothing has come straight from Anet so I'm going to hold my breath a little bit longer

TadaceAce · Jul 25, 2006, 05:23 AM // 05:23

CUSTOMIZABLE HENCHMEN!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I"M SO HAPPY!

MY ONE HUNDRED THREADS ON THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN ANSWERED!!! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA

omg this is gonna be RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing sweet. I'm think.. omg I dunno what do to!

I remember even saying in one of my rants about henchmen "If customizable henchmen aren't in chapter 3 I'm not buying and quitting GW."

GloryFox · Jul 25, 2006, 05:49 AM // 05:49

Funny thing... my factions box says 300 new skills....

I guess under speculation the SIN's and RIT's are screwed

Takkun · Jul 25, 2006, 05:52 AM // 05:52

That probably was because ANET was SLOW as always.

The company has a BETA event not even 4 days away and there STILL isn't any "official" details about the game. Come on now, most games have plenty of information out about their game months before its released.

Now a description of the game is Posted on EB Games, and all of a sudden, "travesty and lies".

Debunk the thing with the OFFICIAL description already. Or is this one of those, "its coming" moments?

I'm inclined to believe the EB Games description until the "Official" description from Anet.
