Guild Wars Nightfall Exclusive...
Frank Dudenstein
Chapter 2 has districts full of Tank-assins that make it all but impossible for legitimate assassins to get into groups and get through the dang game....
Great to see chapter 3 will be full of Tank-ervishes doing the same thing!!!
Oh well, I guess it's a Paragon for me - CAN'T WAIT

I said if Anet keep adding new classes every chapter, it will only get worse. I think I will be right.
What I wanted to see in a chapter 3 preview is that they're adding good, fun to play new PvE areas, a few new skills for the existing classes, and some new types of PvP. Instead we get more gimmick classes that will ruin balance and have far too many of, and are just remixes of existing classes.

This coming preview weekend and the ability to buy more char slots must be linked together

I am excited and can't wait to play a Dervish. I can see that Wa/De will be popular but have a feeling they will no hold up, but will have to see. I'm already gathering an idea for mine as we speak.
TheUndertaker
I'm assuming you mean Assassins who think they are tanks. Not W/As. And you are probably right. But Wammos make it tough for real tanks to get through the game also.
Sir Skullcrasher
wow new class that make ritualists and assassins looked weak! I can't wait to try out both class.
Wrath Of Dragons
is it just me, or is this a PERFECT time to release buyable charachter slots?
for those of you who shout "anet held out on us just to make money"
i shout back at you "DUH."
No new slots available for preview, but you can either use your own account or get a temporary one. if you are full, but want your own? buy one!
brilliant timing, and a great wat to boost sales of the slots.

I'm excited for the Dervish and can't wait. Far as more classes coming I lvoe it, the fear of it is unfound. The only reaosn would lost of power in PvP. I think people are afraid that thier 4-year old Wa/Mo will lsoe thier edge and PvP and are afraid of the competion being spiced up. Thier will never be a loss of balance, such things were thought with the Assassin and Ritualist. But if anyone has cared to noticed they found thier palce in the ranks of PvP/PvE/AB.
I love the Devish and have my ideas already ocming togather. Far as thier Primary I think an attack evasion may be it or prehaps the ability to restore health after the death of a foe cause they apper to be like reapers.

Why are so many of you already making judgements against this? Why aren't all of you excited to the new possiblites that have arisen once more?
No no, lets all nag already shall we? By the gods, you all need to pull your finger out of where ever you put it up, and stop smelling the goods cause your going to miss alot of this game all over again.
I'm excited on the prospect of everything. This is going to give everyone more defintion to play people now. But no no, lets nag!
Perhaps by chapter 5 we wont have any new classes, as I hope we have this epic game where we have to help the Gods, or stop some evil god from taking back his place from Grenth. By that time, we'll have....6 new professions and 6 Core professions with countless tactics and possiblities and flavor for a superb game.
Lets hold our judgements for now everyone, and just be excited. I mean c'mon, we're getting a preview event already! That alone will be cool.

-Nightfall will have no fun-to-play PvE areas?
-Nightfall will have no new PvP types?
-Nightfall's new classes will ruin GW balance?
It's sometimes fun to whine and complain, but as they say, "assuming only makes an ass out of you and me".

FOR THOSE WITHOUT EMPTY SLOTS WHO ARE WORRIED
remember those *temp* accounts they had for Factions events?
same here
YOU DONT HAVE TO DELETE TO ENJOY/TRY
seanedsw28
they are definitely have potential, but A-net is going to have to pony up more slots or either:
1. generate slots for the preview event, and lock them when done
2. release single slots (of which I will buy 1)
Well now we now why warrior stances were adjusted to "ear shot"

it really looks like an elementalist, anyway finally spears in gw and also i hope there will be egyptian areas
Leon_Ux-ixen
Unless a Wa/Mo is good an Assassin can drop em quickly, I've seen more then a dozen times and will continue to see it. I think the two new classes will make Warriors work harder to stay the max damage maker and dealer.
Rent
So you already know how much armor Dervishes are going to have? Do tell.
Leon_Ux-ixen
I can that we will be in the Egypt likeplace alot if you havn't noticed from the cloths and classes. They look very much like people in hyrophics(sp?).
Eet GnomeSmasher
Gotta love the people who are already complaining just by judging a short preview on two classes. Pre-emptive complaining is funny.
xxSilhouette
hehe - im freaking out!! I feel like i did when they first annouced factions. Im very excited!! and everyone is right, it would be a perfect time to allow us to buy the character slots, ive been wanting that to come along anyways
And for those who are saying things like...they shouldnt keep adding character classes and such, well would you really want a new game, and just have to use the level 20 characters you already have? I wouldn't, I want to both make new ones, and use the ones i have - i have very much enjoyed making brand new characters in factions and leveling them up!

... Looks like the built the new professions with PvE in mind only...
Guess only time will tell. Might be some good obscure skills to use as a secondary.
I can't imagine a wammo clone with AoE attacks being a dominant PvP force. Paragons look alright I guess, but that depends soley on how powerful their shouts are.

I dont anything can be said definitly until at least the PvP event. We just have n o choice but to wait until then and hope for the best.
Leon_Ux-ixen
I'm not saying that I know at all, and saying that was extremely pointless. I just feel that with the said abilites that two new classes will have will make warrior work harder. Already a ranger with holy spells can drop a warrior so I can only imagen what a character made to fight in hordes can do.
temp
i must say they look and sound ace... BUT i think its too soon, i havent even completed factions with my rit yet, sheesh calm down :P

The thing is..Assassin's aren't designed to tank...
Dervishes from the sneak peek DO seem to be tanks...It says basically instead of good armor, they will have Defensive Enchantments and such to keep up with warriors on the front line. But front line soldiers none the less.

Never said they were I just said they ould drop unexperinced tanks. Thier only good for one-on-one battle if they attack a group they dead.
BigTru
Yes, what an awesome PvP profession a wammo with AoE attacks will make...
/sarcasm

The new professions look and sound most interesting. I'd like to know how well they'd fit into PvP/PvE, especially for the capabilities of a Warrior vs. Dervish as a frontline person. :0
Then again, I'm also sad for my Assassin, who may(read: just guessing) have little reason to go on to Chapter 3 with the addition of another Melee class.

We'll just have to see if Nightfall adds more character slots to our accounts, otherwise i might have to delete a character

Anet is genious. Doubting their intelligience is like doubting your wammo's ability to be fat and annoying. They didn't ruin the balance at all with the assasin or ritualist. They just implemented new ideas to make guild wars more fun and entertaining. These new classes won't ruin the 'balance' at all. They just change the state of guild wars a little so there are more options for how you want to play. Sick of your old ranger? Make a Paragon and throw stuff. Tired of only being able to hit one person at a time with your assasin? Bam! Dervish! Anet is just broadening the ways of how to play guild wars while having fun at the same time.

I have a bit of a worry about new expansions. I know this probably has been brought up before though. Is the player base expanding at a similar rate to the expansion of PvE areas? I recently ran a character (my warrior) through Tyria. She had been sitting in Ascalon for 10 months. Alot of the mission towns were darned near deserted. Trying to get through the Crystal Desert took 4 days instead of the 1 it should have taken. With the release of new expansions, will this problem get worse?
All I can say is that I am thankful to my guild. Without them, I might never have completed several missions.
Also, don't get me wrong, I am excited about the release of Nightfall. I am a packrat at heart, and all the new items! *drool* Ivory and Motherofpearl.

I highly doubt that Anet would make a game that is going to throw everything out of balance -_-
They got us all hooked on the chapter 1, then they got us all hooked on chapter 2, My guess is that they want to and will continue to do this.

I can bet about almost anything when Nighfall will go out, We'll see complaint about that like Faction before when it came out. Off course I will try these profession, but let not be too hasty to them and judge like hell if you dont like them (Like before).
It's just a thing I wanted to ask it because I know this is what will happen too.
...... I can't wait to test them anyway

I would assume that the models would be changed for the final release. Most betas are not full and complete. We can only hope that we get different models.
However, I am glad we get to finally head to Elona. It narrows down the list of Chapter 4 locales to Orr and, um , the Mists? Seriously, they are running out of places to go to. New lore will have to be introduced if they expect to continue the series with future chapters.
There is a Digg story linked to the announcement of Nightfall at http://digg.com/gaming_news/Guild_Wa...fall_Announced It would be neat if Guildwars made the front page, just to rival all of the WoW stories.

Enchantments won't you you any good when mobs spam enchant removal like nobody's business.
Warriors are the only tanks, bottom line. I think Dervishes will suffer the same hate as Assassins do.
Hopefully some of these tanking assassins will delete their characters, and make Dervishes... so the decent assassins can start the slow process of rebuilding our reputation.
