I hope GW 3 is something original too, when I heard that Factions was going to have an assassin profession I thought: "Here come the ninjas" and Thank God they're not.
GW is original and I hope it stays that way.

I wonder what would happen if the bladed staff class was a melee class that could rival the warrior for tanking ability. That would be quite interesting because it would add some variety for people who like melee.

Not sure, in the radio interview, Jeff mention that the "new" class specific to each new campaign are for more specialized towards specific functions vs the more verstile core class that have greater options.

War = Slow DOT w/ good Armor (Tank) + More (non-tank) options
Sin = High DOT w/ poor Armor (Hit and Run) + Less other options

But since Sin is a faction class, it could be a varation of Sin w/ different flavor or speciality with similiar ability.

I'm hoping they will do a Greek theme eventually.

i heard somewhere that the land is cast in an eternal night until the thing that causes it is stopped and that that is the main storyline *note this is just what i heard and if it is true is just preliminary story outline

Nightfall? I hope that doesn't mean drow/nightelves. Maybe the continent will be covered in darkness.

Thought:
Nightfall != Chapter Three
Nightfall = Chapter > Three
Nightfall = About to be taken by other company for MMORPG.

It's possible. Get first dibs, so to speak; would explain the short run of the copyright.

Probably-

Considering 'Prophecies' has nothing to do with white people or a medieval setting and 'Factions' has nothing to do with asian people or oriental culture.

By all means though, everyone.

Please keep up with this amazing speculation as to what it might mean. ;P

Where have I seen this before? Diablo comes to mind...
And what are the new professions then? Druid and ...?

Anet Just please dont make us do quests on top of quests in same zone. I really hate back tracking!!! Really only want to clear a zone 1 times not 20...!

Cacheelma · May 24, 2006, 01:49 PM // 13:49

Lol please,

Don't bring up the "Diablo comes to mind" things again please. I heard that a lot when Factions was announced with Ritualist and Assassin. How ppl complain about similarity, about how these 2 professions are going to be overpowered (so that ppl will want to buy the game, some of them said), and how Arenanet twisted Druid into Ritualist's name or whatever.

See how wrong they were now? Factions has seriously NOTHING similar to Diablo II LOD whatsoever.

Please.

me_not_u · May 24, 2006, 11:26 PM // 23:26

i heard somewhere that the new land is in eternal darkness and the main story line involves destroying whoever or whatever is causing it *this is just a rumour but if it is true it is just a basic story outline
and an idea of the 2 new profs are:
~1~: Shaman
~2~: Spearsmen

Elaborating on this, it turns out that there is this staff, see? And it's been broken into two pieces. There's this amulet piece, and a shaft piece. And what happens is you have to find the amulet piece in order to remove this darkness that's fallen over the desert. And there's a catch, though, because there's a bunch of these snake people guarding the amulet deep underground in a tomb. And they're controlled by this big [they sensor the first part of this word :/]roach demon named Duriel, see? And....
