Factions = Asian Country
No connection aswell.
Titel doesen't say anything about the world setting.

Thinking about it, maybe there gonna think of some freaky way to get Orr back from under the sea and all. I mean the capital of the gods, Arah, was there right??

I wonder if Nightfall is a sign that they will add actual Day and Night cycles.

Along with this, day and night cycles riase some interesting questions..
- Would day and night cycles include instances or just be restricted to towns?
- Would they "cycle" visibly? could you actually watch the sun set? and
- Would it be based on your pc clock or region?

topics for another thread i suppose...

I actualy rememeber reading something about Guild wars chapter 3 on gamespy.com or as they called it Guild wars Campaign 3. Its not much but from what i gathered its gonna be a dry sunbaked dessert (spelling?) setting.

On NcSoft's Lineage you have a Dawn Vs. Dusk faction-kinda-war that decides if sky is clear or night-red, depending on which faction has more points/wins...

Each "faction" opens up special places of PvE if it wins... mmm wait: we have this system already on Factions. Maybe they borrowed the idea...

This competition also relates to a special tournament, a winner is chosen by kill count on a period of time... similar to Factions 4vs4vs4, but you don't have to defend points... and that one is a 9-man All vs All if i recall well.

If they do some idea teleports, expect to see some/more PvE/PvP title-only events?

I'm more interested in that blurb on the new professions myself. Bladed staff and boxer-type...wonder how those are going to fall out. It's almost too bad they did Assassins in Factions, a Dervish class in Guild Wars Africa would have been awesome. Likely African Assassins will resemble such.

Any thoughts on these? Bob only knows what Anet's going to do with a fistfighter, but I'd bet money that a bladed staff fighter is going to be a physical PBAoE type. Lots of whirling moves and multiple-target stuff, maybe even some knockbacks as well as knockdowns. At least, if it's a melee class as the phrase 'bladed staff' suggest and not just a new spellcaster with a weird staff skin.

Someone mentioned this on the first page but I was thinking the same thing the other day. I want bail chains or whips or something of the sorts.. with the way the Ritualist attack they could make it look sweet.

Anyway there is no way to tell what or how the title is incorperated just yet. In fact I don't care.. I just care about the content.. so hear's hoping. Hopefully character from Chapter one and two will be able to do ALL the missions in Chapter 3.. that's my biggest grip and one of my only as far as the connection between 1 and 2.

Also slightly concerned about Ritualist and Assassins.. I've but a lot of work in my Ritualist so hopefully there will be at least a few new skills or at least elite skills to cap in the third.. but with two different development teams.. who knows.

Just my take on things but Nightfall = dark , Africa = 'The Dark Continent'
"Africa was known as the "Dark Continent" not for the color of native skin but for the mystery it was for the Europeans." - http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/ess...tro_africa.htm

Elruid · May 19, 2006, 09:41 AM // 09:41

I find the title "Nightfall" rather ominous.
Might be a hint of the waning of the Guild Wars saga, who knows..
Wonder if we'll ever see Chapter 4.

Raziel665 · May 19, 2006, 10:01 AM // 10:01

The artwork thing makes me think there's also gonna be some Persian stuff...

Nightfall <--> 1001 Nights?

1up has the story and is apparently pressing Anet for an official response.

guess we'll find out soon enough...

Nightfall, eh?

So... what happens to the sun, and who is responsible?

tick tack toe · May 22, 2006, 10:12 PM // 22:12

dose it take place in a north africa vibe?

yes it dose, read in a website!

Big Tony · May 22, 2006, 10:13 PM // 22:13

I would tend to think that the Nightfall would refer more to the storyline. Throughout the history of the world, bad things always come out at night (scorpions, snakes, boogie men). A day-night cycle would be awesome though.... change drops/spawns/difficulty depending on the time of day.

I hope that the name Nigthfall doesn't indicate that a night/day system will be implemented. That sort of thing just wouldn't mesh well with the Guild Wars world.

And hopefully, Chapter 3 will only be inspired by North Africa, not cloned from it. But from what it sounds like from the GameSpy preview, we'll be running around looking like Disney's Aladdin.
