[PC] Guild Wars Chapter 3: Nightfall

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You should consult this site then, it has all the information about Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall you will ever need.

Most amazing jew boots

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 150) 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 am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
