Oh, please let this be true, or at least close to the truth. I've been wishing for something like that for a long time.

Ooooooo, exciting! From what I've seen of Nightfall so far, I like it. I have a better opinion of it at this point than I did of Factions at the same point in hype.
Same here, Nightfall sounds like a much more exciting game right now than Factions ever did. Not that I hate Factions or anything, just that I think Factions is only "ok" and Nightfall sounds "fantastic". Especially since the magazine confirmed we get custom/controllable henchies, and player-chosen story progression. Wow!!!

Hopefully we can do more then just change the skills of henchies. Maybe make our own?

Most likely a quick cap of the story like they did with the Prophecies intro coming from Cantha.

The story sounds like a ploy to get people interested in previous chapters.

Try holding down the control key on your keyboard and then rolling the mouse wheel back and forward. This should zoom/unzoom the page so that you can adjust it to your liking.

According to the "leaked" list of features that several games retailers posted some time ago:

"Customizable Heroes (party NPCs) that level up with the player, follow player instructions in combat, and use armor, weapons, and skills of the player's choice."

Yeah! I will never have to type the letters L, F or G again!

Ah, wait. They probably still won't pick items up, will they?

Bot team FTW The only times I've managed masters (5 times in total) is if the other team is a full bot team.

But meh.. My school starts just before then, hopefully I have a properly working 'net connection by then so I can pick up PC format and try this out

Oh wow you are so lucky. September 1st is a week after school starts for me...

But on another note, my birthday is september 2 so if there really is a event then, then it will sorta seem like a birthday present to me from Arena Net so I'm not complaining!

I wonder why the magazine use a picture of Nika and not Devona or one of the new classes? Can anyone awnser this? Could Nika be important for the next chapter for a Factions / Nightfall tie in?

Its a possible idea Glory. Devona somewhat tied into chapter 2 thanks to Mhenlo. So yes possibly both could tie into Chapter 3 in one way or another. I am sure this will be a recurring theme. Chapter one will tie into all the other Chapters as they are trying to build the storyline.

I'm not denying this or anything, but I do find it odd that the only source (so far) that's giving specifics (and keys, I assume?) on a PVE event a little more than 3 weeks away is a single UK game magazine. Did they get a scoop, or will other mags possibly catch up?

yes. I do enjoy factions for what it is worth- challenge missions/alliance battles/ quick XP for new characters....

But I am just as excited about the next chapter to be as immersive as the first game was.

Factions is perfect for levelling up a character- although unlike GW1 you really have to grind the quests to get to the fun areas [Zos Chrivos FTW ]

Im hoping Nightfall will be like GW 1 in that you have a slower progression enabling you to learn more of your professions' skills and ways of using them.

Basically i look at it like this: each chapter is going to be geared toward some aspect of the community. GW 1 came out, and everyone complained about slow levelling, quest reward skills, etc....
Factions came out and changed that... quick levelling, easy skill aquisition.

I think Nightfall will be more like the first game, although geared even more toward the ppl that seem to always go solo w/henchies. Itll decrease the amount of people complaining about the difficulty of finding a group, because using henchies will actually become more rewarding of an experience-- especially for all you controll freaks out there
