Just a word to those interested in the PvP Editions of Guild Wars: A large number of players have been asking about the PvP Edition of Guild Wars Nightfall, especially with this week's release of the PvP Editions of Guild Wars Prophecies and Factions. And based on your input and suggestions, we can see that players have a really good point about wanting to purchase the PvP Edition either in lieu of the full retail version, or in addition to it.

Therefore, the Guild Wars Nightfall PvP Edition will be available in the Official Guild Wars Store on Friday, October 27th. I don't have an exact hour for the release of the Nightfal PvP Edition, but I would estimate it will be very close to the 12:01 a.m. release of Nightfall itself.

Hope this is helpful, and see you in the game.

Gaile, ArenaNet.

I love you

Thank you for the news!

THANK YOU GAILE, you just saved me a bunch of hassle trying to get my mesmer through the whole game to unlock skills with hench. (Even though i doubt it would be that bad anymore since we have heros.)

I got news for you, Sentao. Once you hear about the story, you're gonna want to run through the game.

Kind of glad Anet changed their stance on this one. Its actually for the better. Unlike most of the other times they have done something opposite what they said they would.

I have now been sat here for about five minutes trying to find words to fully express my reaction to this change. Unable to; I have decided to fall back on the old 'a picture says a thousand words' mantra, and so I give you the following:

Beqxter · Oct 25, 2006, 07:40 AM // 07:40

Brilliant and eminently sensible. Will be getting the regular ol' NF myself, but I have many friends who will dearly love this, and I'm happy on their behalf. Two thumbs up!

Arya Nibelrund · Oct 25, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

Sincerely, I didn't think it would be out at the same time of the 'full' edition.
Well done, I will buy the regular edition though, I have an insane addiction for titles

And unlocking all the skills will be quite fast considering the amount of pvp I do lately

A week, Makky? I give it a day, possibly two, but no more.

I'm really just starting to get heavily into PvP, but this is excellent news. I may put off buying the full version of Nightfall for a bit longer, knowing that I can get the unlock pack so very soon... Though I still have to find the funds for my beloved PvE addiction.

Awesome news, Gaile. Thanks for sharing.

fallot · Oct 25, 2006, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Do we get slots with the PvP edition ?

DreamWind · Oct 25, 2006, 11:44 AM // 11:44

I can't find my negative self finding anything negative (yet lol) about this for either players or company. Great job Anet. Seriously!

immortius · Oct 25, 2006, 12:02 PM // 12:02

I have a friend who is interesting in having both full unlocks and PvE content and is wondering is some sort of combination edition may be a possibility in the future - say, for US$70, or something like that.

Oh, and will Heroes' Arena be available to PvP edition owners?

Wtf Its A Monk · Oct 25, 2006, 01:11 PM // 13:11

great news for you PvPers out there :P. I'm glad Anet auctually listens to the community

yazaga · Oct 25, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

Man, considering how important is this announcement, pretty meager reaction from the board. From day 1 so many people have moaned about " UAX ", GW tournament edition and so on. Could it be that the people that wanted this in the first place have left the game already ? Anet need to do a major ad campaign to get all those people back, me thinks. Otherwise great decision.

immortius · Oct 25, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

The PvPers are having a party on another forum.

yazaga · Oct 25, 2006, 02:41 PM // 14:41

Yes just saw

. By the way it would be nice if Gaile tells us this : if somebody decides to go for the PVP pack, would they miss out on some PVP feature which are coming with Nightfall ? I am not talking for hero battles here. Things like better party grouping and the ability to observe your own guild in Ob mode ?

Sanji · Oct 25, 2006, 02:55 PM // 14:55

Well, in a way I think it's a good thing there isn't a big fuss over this.

Last thing we need is:

(PvPer) All right, UAX! In your face you stupid carebears!
(PvEer) This is an outrage! Anet obviously favors PvP.
(PvPer) That's bullcrap! This game has always catered to grinders.
(PvEer) Why don't you play a FPS if you like PvP and being a dumb doodie head on the internet so much.
(PvPer) Why don't you play WoW since you like dressing up in costumes and grinding the same stupid AI over and over.
(PvEer) Why you...
(PvPer) I hads all I can stands and I can stands no more...
(Mod) Shut up, both of you. *threadlock*
