Certainly sounds a bit bigger than Factions, hope it's a bit more like Prophecies (at least the PvE bit)

Noticed some of the bits have long been suggested by the community (commands for henchies). I wonder if older chapter owners will benefit from that or will they miss out again like the storage thing...

hey nice, the npc thing is gona be cool

I think I'm going to spend too much time customizing the armor/weapons/skills of my henchies..

Why does the plot sound so much like Factions..?

For some reason your link didn't work for me, but I did find it.

Wow...sounds like they went back to focusing on PvE with Nightfall. Excellent!

Not too excited by the customizable henchmen (because I don't use them), although this may replace many of the "cookie cutter" PuG requests.

20 New Missions - a much needed expansion to the 13 missions in Factions - YES!!!

No mention of new armors for Core/Factions characters, or whether any of the 300 new skills will be for Factions characters, though...

Branskins · Jul 24, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41

Page doesnt work!

Mister_Smiley · Jul 24, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41

Well looks like their is going to be ALOT of content, almost as much as Prophs. So that should be cool. But the npc is going to RULE!!

But then again this is from EB Games.....so it could be wrong..Hell most likey is LMAO

Pillz_veritas · Jul 24, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

alot of nightfall (storyline) wise is very similiar to a suggestion I made months and months ago for the new chapter... All I can say now is... Wow.

Sai of Winter · Jul 24, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

20 story missions, looks like there won't be much locked gates. Only certain missions you have to beat in order to transport to the next specific area like in Prophecies (i.e. beat Sanctum Cay to get the Crystal Desert and beat THK to get to the Fire Islands).

I hope......

Just guessing here.

Martian · Jul 24, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

custom henchies! W00t indeed!

Relnor · Jul 24, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

OMGWTFBBQ! Henchies that take orders FTW!

I hope we get to custimize every aspect of them such as wepon mods

This sounds pretty cool. It's something the original henchmen should have had in Prophecies but I guess this will make partying with henchmen much more easier since you can change their builds. Then again, the old henchmen were better than most of the random PUGs I've been in by far.

100-200 of these being duplicate skills. :] (a joke :P)

I just pray for better PvE content this time around and no more grind.

db0y · Jul 24, 2006, 10:46 PM // 22:46

story seems like prophecies again

Takonic · Jul 24, 2006, 10:47 PM // 22:47

oh man, this sounds like a washed up Gauntlet Legends anyone? i like the single pvp thing and yay! does sound more exciting and thrilling to play....lets just hope that Burning Crusade gets boring fast for me

Hidden in the Mist · Jul 24, 2006, 10:48 PM // 22:48

Customized henchies is going to make Skill capping and exploring much easier!

Mister_Smiley · Jul 24, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

It should be intresting to see if its the real offical story line, or something that ebgames came up with.

300 skills new skills, 150 for new characters and another 150 for all other characters which mean new stuff for Assassin and Rits. As for the NPC, thats total going to rule.

DFrost · Jul 24, 2006, 10:51 PM // 22:51

If that's true, that's a hell of a lot of content right there.

/excited

lyra_song · Jul 24, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

o.o so we each get a sidekick? a manslave? oh joy ^_^

I can make the Lyra-Gumi!!!

sumasage · Jul 24, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Wow this sound cool. I'm excited already. Customizable Heroes gonna be helpful because i like to command them around without actually playing MM
