Either way, I'm gona play in this pvp Beta thing to give both new classes a shot. |
Hey yea those sounds like pretty cool classes...I'm not really playin GW anymore and never even got Factions but I'll try this one out on the 28th anyway.
|
Ah good, more money to spent on a game I barely play anymore.
|
We'll see how this turns out. It might drag me back in and it might not.
*waiting for the obligatory Kitty posting alpha impressions post* |
I thought this wasn't going to be out until early 2007, but it looks as if it will be out sooner than that if the Factions preview was any indication. The new classes sound great, and hopefully will be a bit more durable.

They are planning on releasing 2 chapters a year, so expect Nightfall to be released between halloween and christmas

Will Nightfall require a new account?
Or can I use the same account and key from Guild Wars (+ Factions)? |
When you've purchased Nightfall, the Nightfall campaign should be added automatically on to your account as well as two more character slots. This is based on the assumption that it works much like buying Factions to add on to Prophecies (or vice-versa) and you're paying for it at the online store (I'm not sure if the CD will allow the account merger).

A new expansion? Already? I'm not even halfway through the original and I've had it for over a year.
|
After seeing the new login screen, I must say that if those graphics (and the trailer) are any indication, Nightfall is going to be really good. I was also impressed by the sitar driven preview piece, which is hopefully reflective of the entire soundtrack being composed in more of an Indian/Middle Eastern style, just as Factions featured minimalist Asian pieces, which I was kind of indifferent to personally.
And getting this will be really easy with the online store, who needs packaging anyway? |
Even though the Guild Wars server seems to be pretty unstable right now and had problems logging in I must admit the new main screen looks great. I love the new musical theme. I can get the game for 35 Euros at some online shop, so I'll get this expansion for sure.
Even when I won't finish it, like always. |
Yeah Grawl, you will log in for a couple days, message me once in a while, and then never come back again.
All of your characters are half played. I hope the PvE part of chapter three will be better than chapter two, otherwise it's going to be really painful to get all of my characters through it. ~_~ |

Will you even log in >=0 |

In the original game I'm somewhere in the desert, and have no idea where to go since I skipped so many missions.
In Factions I just hit the mainland and there are just too many assassins around and I have no idea what a good As/Ra build is. |

I just saw the new trailers for the game. Apparantly (at least I didn't know this yet) the henchman can be ordered around =o Finally!

Just got done putting in about 7 hours in Nightfall as a Paragon. I must say it is looking to be much more rewarding then Factions, at about the same level as the Prophecies campaign. I really like how they have balanced the reward you get for collecting items. Instead of the collectors armor being under leveled, it has been much stronger than normal (giving you incentive to collect to get it). Control of henchmen is also much improved and the ability to customize the equipment of your "heroes" is pretty nice as you don't have to worry about henchmen being underpowered or having crappy weaponry in certain key missions (i.e. Iron Mines of Moladune). I still haven't confirmed if they are really going to do salvageable damage mods (like 15^50) but then again I’m not very far in.
And I don't know if its just because Anet is still tweaking the balance, but it seems like this has been much more difficult. The mobs use a good variety of skills efficiently, and they have even thrown in high level versions of the same foe into mobs (like a level 13 Bog Skale in a group of level 8 skales) to catch people who are used to them being at the same level off guard. Plus the fact that you are limited to 4 people also increases the amount of strategy and planning that needs to go into the game. Overall, I would say this is a definite buy for me at this point, this is going to be awesome. |
I like how people are actually moving their lips when talking now. Just played the first mission (time 4:30, is it possible to do it faster and get a better reward?). Also, will the characters keep existing and are they usuable when the game comes out? Got the most original character names as ever.
My Parargon is called 'Pa Rag On' and my Deverish 'De Ve Rish'. |

I'll just have to make bogus accounts to keep my cool names then.
|
Based on the wording of that item ID crisis, it seems as if the character will be reset (and not deleted). So the name and apperence will be intact, but you will have to start from scratch at the beginning.
Anyway, I have gotten to the end of the storyline quest for the preview event and must say if this first island is any indication, the rest is going to be extremely fun and challenging. Heck, some of the quests later on get really extreme (defending a village against 70 or so skale anyone?) So the end-game stuff should rival Sorrow's Furnace or FoW/UW. |

Alright I haven't been able to play GW in a while because of circumstances that are beyond my control. I completed Factions and Prophecies but I didn't get to try the Nightfall preview event. Don't get my wrong GW is an awesome game but here's how to make it better.
First they gotta get rid of all character classes except for Assassins (and maybe Rangers). Then they gotta change the name of Shing Jea Monastery to Ninja Tech. Then they gotta get rid of all the music and replace it with different remixed versions of War Pigs by Black Sabbath. In Ascalon they'll play the origional version of War Pigs. Oh yeah and there's too many different types of enemies. All the enemies should be zombies and there should only be 2 types of zombies Big Zombie and Small Zombie. There should only be one God in the land of Tyria and that God is Baal. The name of the game should be changed from Guild Wars to Assassin World. And finally there will be no more guilds but there will be 2 teams Red Team and Blue team and they have to destroy eachother. That would make GW awesome. |

Also, that level 70 Skale that you mentioned was a challenge. I died so many times trying to destroy that thing. :( |
And I had problems killing the lvl. 31 dragon during the Dragon Lair mission in the original Guild Wars.
|
You mean Glint, Grawl? Yeah, she was really difficult to kill without a couple of good interrupters. Crystal Hibernation and Crystal Haze ruined a lot of people's days.
"Wait, I'm completely exhausted after 5 seconds of spellcasting? How did that happen?!" |
Got my copy today :3 But the servers are incredibly slow, so I'm just installing the DVD now to avoid having to download every map.

Just started in on my first really session in Nightfall. I had bought this via the online store on Thrusday night and got the update then when the servers were not strained so I was only loading updates for a few minutes. I didn't really get far, as I am concentrating on making money on short-term desierables such as the Halloween items or collector items in Kamadan. In addition I have decided to do my first playthrough with my Prophecies nuker, to conserve on buying new armor or equipment.
So far so good, I can't wait to finally get to the mainland. |
I finally got the collector's edition.
I only have the original one and Nightfall. I don't have Faction and infact I haven't played for months. I am probably going back to ranger, yet, I am cluless what 2nd profession I should pick to rock at PvP. EDIT: Wait, are there a lot of cross dressers? I just hate them and want to beat the f*ck out of them. Double Post: Sweetness, damn miniture Varesh pet! It's pretty cool, but it is useless. (Just walks around blindly... can't be used in town =.=) IGN- S A K R A Y - Level 1 Ranger/Mesmer(or going to be...) T R I F E C T A - Level 6 Ranger/Elementalist Man, too bad you can only use english symbols for name... EDIT *again* Man, damn GW Wiki is laggy as hell half of the time. Anyone know a good site with leveling info on Nightfall? (Like how to fast level... I found some but it's only for Faction :edgartpg: ) |

Yep. Quiet easy. Maybe it's just me and my Ragnarok Online exp. (Reaching 3 characters lvl 99 trans? =X)
ATM I am working on my 15k prime armor. Maybe after that I will start working on my second Ranger =.= BTW, it isn't Ranger/me I changed it to Ranger/Ele... |
Aaaaaagh I really want this game but I can't buy it 'cause I HAVE NO MONEY!!!!!! Anyways I guess I'll continue to do stuff in Factions until I DO have enough money.... but I really really really want Nightfall.... really...
|
Few days ago in game shop guy told me that if I but Pre-Release CD for Hightfall for 19.99zł ~6$ I can get Nightfall for 30$ =) Pre-R gives me bonus items and one more character slot =D Isn't it awesome!
|
so you get 8 characters? Wow.
What items do you get? I bought collector's edition and got POS mini avatar that does nothing. BTW, nice siggy and avatar. EDIT: How TALL are your characters? I am just curious =D |
Sooo...who's playing playing?
Grawl came on to say hi to me for like, 2 seconds, and then never came around again. I bought Nightfall, but I haven't even bothered to PvE yet since they changed the whole PvP creation system, though I kinda need to get Paragon/Dervish skills unlocked. :P |
I can never find you, so I don't bother getting on.
PvE is boring though so I don't think I would be able to last an hour focusing on this agme. |

I just got Nightfall yesterday as a gift. Playing my new Paragon, Irina Stolyar. I'm liking this expansion so far. The new additions are neato. (I don't have Factions, and never finished Prophecies)
|
I just got my phro(Game Of the Year edition and it costed me 10 more $$ =.= not worth my $$ IMO) and finished it. Its cool how my nightfall chracters gets to use Phro skills. I like nightfall armor better. =D
