Well, prophecies definitely has nostalgia going for it...

Plus, it's got a lot more replay value - you can skip parts going when you go through it a second (third, fourth, fifth) time.

But they do all have their good points. And they're all fun. Can I vote two more times?

I resisted voting for prophs because it was so completely different (better) to the other mmorpgs i was used to and went for nightfall which i've only had for a few days! NF has a better plot (although the tyrian plot is not as non-sensical as many think, the fact the charr worship the titans is just too subtle, etc), better voiceovers, more humour, WAY more involving missions and a better pace of play, great skills etc...it's fun! factions for me is a non-runner; bad design, boring map, mostly useless skills bar the tyrian skill doubles, truely turgid quests...it just fails on so many levels.

Nightfall is a long and hard game with impossible missions! And after you beat the game on a character you kind of don't want to go thru the game again with another character sinces is so hard ;[

I concur.

Prophecies was great in terms of learning your way through the game. IMO, it's great to have a begginer island/place that ONLY begginners can get to. That way, even if you're new and have plenty of experienced friends, you still have to play it out and learn on your own.

Factions was pretty cool with the concept of the new mission objectives (Masters, expert's, etc) and challenge missions. One great thing was the AB and the elite missions.

Nightfall is a long game, it's awesome, but once you get through with one character, it's like "Ugh" to do it again with another. Can't power level and rush when you've already beaten it once and dont' wanna do it again like prophecies. =\

As with scenary all are great in their own terms. Factions was a bit gloomy though, but still amazing. Nightfall has some absolutely beautiful content, but I think it rivals that of prophecies.

Looking back, Prophecies is a pretty bad campaign. The missions were repetitive, boring and too simple.

I vote for Nightfall, heroes ftw.

I was doing The Dukes Daughter in Piken Square the other day on my new character, and a lvl 20 ranger was in my group, I could only do about half of the damage she could, but she died constantly. Against mobs of 3 lvl 8s.

Anyways I voted Prophesies for reasons that have already been said. If you didn't vote Prophesies then either A) You haven't played it, or B) You don't know what your saying.

Prophecies - I'm still one of those people that cling to "the good ole days".

NF - Is a great game but I seriously doubt I will replay it more then twice.

Factions - Not my cup of tea.

Pretty much exactly what went through my mind when I took the poll.

Prophecies by far it was the best selling chapter and had better organized player base.It may be slow and a little long but the same can be said for NightFall getting all those points is just boring and who cares.There were no titles in Prophecies and that was made it great as well only XP and Skill point is what most were after which it should be.Prophecies Hands Down.It has more replayablity.

Gli · Nov 24, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Nightfall, head and shoulders above the other two.

Addone_Abaddon · Nov 24, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

prophecies because of "this is when the real story begins"

and I completed factions in 2 days, still trying to do prophecies. Been stuck on THK for weeks.

Malice Black · Nov 25, 2006, 12:48 AM // 00:48

THK owns all..great mission

Kais Unduli · Nov 25, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Wow, I'm surprised there are others who like Factions the most as I do. Not as much as the other chapters obviously, but hey, good enough for me.

Axe Addict · Nov 25, 2006, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Prophesies by a long shot , i keep going back to it and always enjoy playing there

Dentenko · Nov 25, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Prophecies....That's the only series I had played before leaving.

This, actually, is my first post in what...over a year.

Wow. Things have changed. A LOT.

Graywing · Nov 25, 2006, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Both Factions and Nightfall are better then Prophecies game play / graphics / features etc.. but somehow prophecies keeps reminding me on how I started being sucked into the guild wars world, both of them don't even come close to that feeling :P So Prophecies FTW

Khanoute · Nov 25, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

I voted for Factions because it has the best replayability and pace imo. The storyline and the cinematics might be flawed but in the end I enjoyed taking through all my chars.
On the other hand, Nightfall has the better plot/cutscenes by far but once you've done it once or twice, you really don't feel like crawling through the game again. Factions missions are perfect : short but intense and action-packed. Nightfall missions (except two or three) are the complete opposite : kinda boring and not really challenging.
And I do prefer the multiple sceneries from Factions, the Jade Sea area must be my favourite one in the GWverse. Nightfall's landscapes are really polished but do lack some originality imo.
Not to mention the Factions Alliance Battles which are great fun.
Prophecies is just Prophecies : the original chapter so it's hard to have an objective opinion about it when it's linked to so many memories.

NIGHTFALL

I love that game

Abbadon was actually a boss in the sense that it was hard to kill him.

Every other game you just sort of swarmed the final boss and it didn't fell like you were killing a almightly ruler of X

Rhershy8 · Nov 25, 2006, 03:24 AM // 03:24

Prophecys- Just because I have so much good memories there like finding my first high end item-a req.8 15^50 fellblade.
