Good timing on this thread. There is an official press release confirming the information in the article up on www.guildwars.com just now

Have fun everyone

Finally White armor.
look's cool hope skills will be as cool as the look

Are we going to get two temporary slots to try out these new races during the event? I have NO free slots and no way to buy anymore (Anet haven't implemented that yet)

Going to be extremely unhappy if the answer is no, because otherwise, how am I supposed to try the new classes out?

The female spear-using class will clearly have a poll dance for a dance emote.

Just wanted to um...stir up a bit of controversy :P I quoted this forum thread

Well I was just reading a magazine article (Login, if you've ever heard of it, a Japanese PC game magazine published by Enterbrain)
It's confirmed that in the PvE campaign of Nightfall (What chapter 3 is called, by the way) the level cap is being risen. Didn't say how much, but I suspect either to level 30 or level 50.

Just for the record I myself wouldn'lt believe what this guy says for a second, and if what he's saying is true I might actually have reason to quit GW.

Ohh, I like Dervish's armour, I've always wanted to wear Hoods :P

Why?

If the level and strength of the weapons doesn't increase, if the effectiveness of the armor doesn't incresae and if the henches aren't improved, how are you supposed to keep increasing the toughness of monsters in the game?

Factions had lots of level 28 mobs running around. If the players CANNOT increase in effectiveness, how are you going to increase the challenge level for Nightfall? Doesn't bother me if they raise the cap in the slightest, as long as it's balanced.

What did they do during the other beta/pvp preview events? I doubt they will give you new slots.

on another note:

Dear Anet,

Goddamn, I'm gonna have to buy more freaking character slots. This is too good to pass up!

How the heck would I know? I never caught Factions preview else I wouldn't be asking.

Do you get a temporary account or somesuch for the added characters?

Because the entire balance of the game is based on the lvl 20 system O.o Anyway I like using my PvEs in PvP when I can so I don't want to have to carry around 2-3 sets of PvE armor but then have to carry around 2-3 sets of lower lvl armor for PvP, since they would obviously have to auto lower your chars lvl once you enter a PvP area.

Oh ok. Well during the preview i deleted my PvP slot to try out the new classes since they dont give you a temporary slot. They also had "preview keys" that allow you full access, but those accounts would stop working after the event, and would require you to add a new key when the game came out to gain access to that account again.

You get NO temporary slots????

Oh jesus. I sure as hell am NOT deleting any of my level 20's. That's so fricking dumb of Anet if that's true.

Okay, I'll ask it again

If your character can NEVER level, if the level of armour and weapons isn't increasing, if hences are maxed at 20

How are they supposed to increase the difficulty of PVE?

I deleted my PvP slot during the PvP preview and the Factions preview weekend.

<.<

Theres also preview keys, which give you access during the weekend, i dont know if they are implementing it for this time.
