Nightfall hands down no competition

EatMoreCarbs · Nov 12, 2006, 02:17 AM // 02:17

Nightfall for PvE, Factions for PvP, whichever you like better.

Spike · Nov 12, 2006, 03:14 AM // 03:14

While Factions is WAY to short for my likeing the drops where last time I played there WAY WAY WAY WAY better than in Nightfall. I get better drops on factions newbie island than I do from lvl 26 mobs in mid to end Nightfall. If that is I get any at all. How ever Nightfall looks so much better than Factions and has many more proper quests. But its unlikely I will keep playing thier once I have finished it once or twice.

Nightfall is far superior to Factions imo.

G-Humps · Nov 12, 2006, 03:20 AM // 03:20

lol factions is horrible, for 3 reasons, 1: It Lags 2: Super Boring 3: all it is is a city and it all looks the same get nightfall nightfall is so sick!!!

noocoo · Nov 12, 2006, 03:23 AM // 03:23

I perfer to armor looking and 2 new professions in Factions.

Personally, I dont like dervish and paragon, and they are kinda boring.
But, it is just my personality.

G-Humps · Nov 12, 2006, 03:23 AM // 03:23

True, the new chars in factions are alil more fun then the ones in nightfall but i think u get the ritualist and Assasin in nightfall to

Hyunsai · Nov 12, 2006, 03:29 AM // 03:29

No Ritualist or Assassin in Nightfall.

Anyway I don't agree on one point. Faction got a fantastic art design, even Kaineng center, and some astonishing scenes in Jade sea or Echoval Forest.

One last thing, I prefer the Faction armor system.

i agree the armor system is very nice but , the new armor at the endgame of nightfall is epic

Sable Phoenix · Nov 12, 2006, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Nightfall is a better game in almost every way. The only way Factions is better is the armor system. In every other way, Nightfall drives it into the ground, and boy does it deserve it.

If you like long grinds than Nightfall is better. If you just like to kill stuff and get through the story Factions is better.

What story?

Legendary Shiz · Nov 12, 2006, 09:15 AM // 09:15

If you plan on pvp, get them both. If you're just in it for PvE get Nightfall.

Paperfly · Nov 12, 2006, 09:21 AM // 09:21

The inclusion of the hero system accross chapters radically changes the experience of those older chapters... In terms of everyone else using them, anyway, even if you don't have Nightfall yourself.

...Consequently, while I preferred Factions PvE as I experienced it when it first came out, the fundamental shift in the community means that now you may as well get Nighftall 'cause hey, it's longer!

The only thing you'll be missing out on (OK, aside from cheap armour) will be the hybrid PvP/PvE modes - Alliance Battles, Fort Aspenwood. But then opinions vary wildly on those - some people love them, others can't stand them. It's up to you whether it appeals to you or not.

I'd say Nightfall is better. Although much of it (hero system, inscriptions, ect) is such a blatant money sink it's not funny. I prefer the Factions armours and the armour/use style as well.

SilentAssassin · Nov 12, 2006, 05:09 PM // 17:09

imo:

Nightfall >>>> Factions > prophecies
