So I wouldn't be at all suprised to find out that people really are leaving.

heh, I remember all the people that thought GW would completely die when Oblivion came out. Well it came out and Guildwars is still here. I'm sure Guildwars will also survive NWN2

Ah, but that was because Oblivion was a huge disappointment, and got uninstalled from my computer not long after buying it.

I have to say, I didn't see either of these classes coming. But, looking back, they are pretty much an Amazon and Paladin. Word. Now where's my dual axe-weilding Barbarian and shape-shifting Druid? Muahahahahaha!

Ugh, NWN2 isn't even on my "vaguely interested" list. Considering I spent literally hundreds of hours on the Bioware forums before 1 came out, that should tell you something.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, a dervish was a poet and dancer from a certain mystic branch of Islam. They were best known for dancing wildly in a spirit of religious extasy - this usually involved spinning around in circles a lot*, hence the expression "whirling dervish".

Of course these ideas overlap with some previously generated concept classes - they're obvious mechanics that fit in well with the game engine. Heck, only yesterday I was thinking that the Cyclone Axe and Watch Yourself Warrior mechanics could be expanded into a new class... I hadn't thought of expanding them into two new classes, though!

Initial thoughts on balance: Dervishae for PVE, Paragons for PVP. Ideally, each class will have one of their skill trees be more useful in the other area (the Water Magic of Dervish-land, say).

The core Dervish mechanic of sweeping attacks sounds quite hard to make useful in PVP. Expanded "shouts" on Paragons should work OK - like mini ritualists - depending on how well they 'stack' with other effects.

Initial thoughts on appearance: Dervishes are looking pretty sweet - vaguely thief-like. I really hope their animations are made dance-y (like a Rits, only more frantic) - some of us know what a dervish actually is and don't buy that they're just arabic assassins!

Longer skirts on male Paragons, plsthx.

Initial thoughts on what-I'm-going-to-play: One Dervish/Assassin, coming right up! I fully intend to find a broken combo with Assassin's Promise. And yes, I know this will probably involve going to Cantha and fighting my way to Senji's Corner to change secondaries... But trust me, this is the only way those Deadly Arts skills are ever going to see play. Anywhere.

Thinking Mesmer/Paragon - if we finally get a decent male mesmer costume, anyway! But I'm sure I can come up with a good backline support role for that particular mix.

*Transcendant religious experience, or plain dizzyness? You decide!

Yay, finally somebody else who knows the history of the dervish.

Speaking of history,

Didn't assassins originate in the Middle East? I hope they get some armor that makes them completely black clad in cloth, something that makes them look more like an assassin than a ninja.

My thoughts on some good characters...

PvE: Dervish/Ranger... depending on the healing power of the Dervish, that seems to have soloist written all over it.
PvP: Paragon/Elementalist... Use Shouts mixed with Wards to give your team the perfect balance of offensive and defensive boosts.

What I will end up going with...

PvE: Dervish/Paragon... gotta unlock the skills for both, and I think being able to attack, heal, and shout can't be too shabby.
PvP: Assassin/Paragon... what the heck, I doubt you'll see many of them, might as well give it a try. Either go with Crit Hitting spears, or shouts to hopefully help the Assassins poor defense.

Close, but actually wrong.

At one point an employee of ANet did say that not always will there be a new class with expansions. However, during a later interview Jeff Strain himself forcefully recanted that, assuring his interviewer that there will be new classes with every expansion of Guild Wars because that was their primary mechanism to add new playstyles to the game.

Granted, they could just as easily go back and recant that, but as it stands every new expansion will have at least one new class in it. Or so says the lead developer.

Sufi I think.

I also think that yes, assassins originated from the mid east. I vaguely remember something about them being their own tribe. I know I should have paid more attention to History channel.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying these two out and seeing what's what with them. In the Factions PVP preview, I tried an assassin and that's when I found I really didn't like the idea or mechanics of it. I'm not a front-line type of person.

As for the female Paragon, I so hope they don't keep the elementalist figure type. I hate that whole "runs like a girly-girl" thing. And for pete's sake, please give the male Paragon some closed-toe shoes!! Guys wearing sandals is just not right. Not right at all. lol

The Dervish explains the absorption nerf. He is designed to be a front line character but with a war's absorption it would have been an obvious choice over the dervish.

The Dervish using aoe attacks will fit right in with smiting more so than a war would. This class could break Ward camping all together if there is a skill that cannot be blocked or evaded.

Pargon I'm not not so sure about. Defensive shouts and throwing spears. Also the change to shout skill's range just makes them confusing (earshot range, wtf). I was just fine with nearby. I could judge nearby how the hell do I know how far earshot range is?

Can't wait to see the skills.

Love the idea behind both classes.

Worried: Dervish will be new wammo or assassin - way too many bad players. Paragon will attract the egotistical = "I'm the Paragon, I lead the party" type.

I'm going to try both during the pvp, can't wait

I'm expecting a range of ranges. Think the difference between IWAY's radar range shout versus Watch Yourself's nearby prot. The stronger the ability or group buff, the shorter the range.

We'll know soon enough

/sigh...there goes me PvE mesmer...again. Back to the ole PvP slot.

EDIT: Dervish's description makes it sound like an intended front line fighter, and stationary on that front line instead of the get in get out Sin. I expect it to be built to take a pounding as well as a Warrior, just deflecting the damage in a different way. I also expect to see a lot of Wa/De's in the future if this is true.

Just please o please Anet, GIVE MY MONK SOME GOOD GROUP HEALING E-MANAGERS IN DIVINE FAVOR!

Here's what i'm hoping for the new camp, WE have to do all the Missions and primary quest (Like Factions), but only the first time!! So once you do it once, you can get all the runs you want. This wouldn't be TOO hard to do.

Also, for some reason i'm worried bout bringing Old chars to NightFall, i don't know why, i just have a feeling Anet will do something stupid...

Hi there,

Glad you're all as excited as we are about the news of Nightfall!

A few comments or answers to questions from this thread:

The models for the Paragon and Dervish are quite different than the other professions. I've seen the character creation screen and the face options are distinctive and new, and of course you can tell the armours are quite exceptional, too.

As to how they play, well, you can see next week.

Very interesting, and quite unusual. I can't even begin to guess the most popular combinations that will come from the addition of these two new professions.

There are no plans to lift the level cap. 20 it is; 20 it shall be.

Not sure about the day/night thing, but it's a possibility.

I will definitely ask about the slots for the PvP Event, and how you'll be able to make the new characters. For PvP play, don't most people have a PvP slot? Anyway, I will ask about whether temporary slots will be offered.

As to how the game will roll out -- that is, whether it will have additional character slots if linked -- I will also inquire. (I don't see it lowering the desire for the extra slots; I think players will still want to have that option.

Oh, and it's ok to "doubt the devs' almighty wisdom," but very gracious to take back all that doubting stuff.

[[[A bit of history, since someone asked: Assassins originated in the Middle East around the time of the Crusades. They were a secret order of fanatics who used drugs (hashish) to get into a frenzy before going out and slaying people. The name is a derivative of hashish, I think.]]]

Actually Gaile, I think a lot of us were wondering whether or not we would have access to a "guest" account, like we did for the Factions PvP weekend.

Normally I do have a pvp slot, but I sacrificed that to make another (yes I now have 2) monk, and I just don't think that I can bring myself to delete her.

The skins exluding armour look like re used monk skins and elem skins.
People are right about that.

I hope they go into better detail when it comes to customisation or we are going to have alot of clones walking about, maybe some more interesting hair styles hmmmmm.

2 new classes is a good thing, lets hope they work well as secondaries and mix well as secondaries.

Wow the 2 professions looks cool

I except the following from Chapter 3 and nothing else

1) Stronger PVE content and storyline than Factions

2) Level Cap raised atleast to 25 ( Skills and Caps are okay but the Cap level has to go up)
If the character has conquered 2 continents how can his freaking cap be at 20 when all monsters are at 24 and above

3) When I buy a chapter and buy a key it does not change the limit for changing servers from america to europe and vice versa ,before i bought factions i had only 1 left after faction its still the same

I don't understand why you want it raised, raising it will only wreck all the other chapters. You'll have some people on the other games at lvl 20 and people who have all 3 games running with 25 etc. It would unbalance the game.

Also what would you get from it? Everyone would get to lvl 25 very quickly and it would then be absolutely no different. PVE wise would just mean instead of lvl 30 bosses, lvl 35... It just makes no sense. Although I'd like some higher level bosses.

Now my only question is...what will the special event headpiece look like for the 24hour early access of Nightfall. [hopes]Will we get headpieces similar to the Egyptian god heads like Ra or whatever that god is with the slim dog head? (I think it's the god of death or something) O.o [/hopes]

Anubis, Demi-god of death and burial, has the head of a jackal, black skin and the body of a man, personally my favourite ancient deity

I absolutely cant wait for the new chapter and i cant believe its coming so fast! It's important to remember that factions actually took twice as long as all the other expansions will, because the two dev-team system is only being put into effect now, so we can expect all the chapters to be this close together in the future!

I am sure that they do if they are regular PvP'ers Gaile, but I would think that one of the concepts behind a PvP event is to lure more people from PvE into PvP. As a PvE player, I know that I don't have a PvP slot available and I will not be deleting one of my lvl 20 characters just to play a PvP event. Too much hard work gone into them! A temporary slot just for the event would be ideal, then people could try one of the new professions, play it to get an idea of how it works then delete it, and try the other one.

Hopefully that will be the case, and you will see lots of new people dipping a toe in the murky waters of PvP! Personally, I think that the Paragon sounds perfect for my Leroy tendencies.

When in doubt, charge! If it doesnt work - charge faster!

No doubt I will get flamed by the dedicated, but I think that PvP should be fun...

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.

I would laugh if the new chapter banned all chinese IPs and had no mesmers in the mobs. That would sure appeal to the masses, wouldn't it? Of course when everyone had their fill of 20/20 sundering mods and +30hp upgrades, they'd leave. lol

I'm betting that it will be something like Primal Rage.. forget about skills. And it'll be an elite enchantment. Or even better, an elite hex that only works on said foe. I'm feeling optimistic this morning, can you tell?

Arena Net should hire you, and let you release all your concept classes in the expansion. I wonder what people would think about THAT.

If the Dervish and the Paragon become hated classes, it will most likely be for the same reason.

Players who cant play.

I thought it was because the class is GIMPED in PvE to begin with. The very nature of relying on critical hits for energy and damage against high level mobs is a bit absurd. Critical hits need to be changed, (at least for assassins), before I'd consider making one for a PvE character.

I have so many more fond memories of Prophecies than I ever will have of Factions. Factions seems to have been rushed, the character classes of Rit and 'Sin not truly fully developed (can you say no hand-to-hand combat with the 'Sin?). No replayable high-end farming areas such as ToPK or SF. I don't accept elite missions as those; they take quite a while to do successfully and require a ferry to get to. Also, when Factions came out, it was extremely buggy...

/agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah, and so does mesmer. Who needs anything but Surge Builds. Oh yeah, and warrior too. I mean what could be better than a shock axe?

That's the REASON they're putting more classes into the game, so there aren't so many of these retarded vanilla builds.

So I wouldn't be at all suprised to find out that people really are leaving.

GW would have an infinite player base if people could make their own items and armor like that. And if there was some way you could get Inuyasha naked in there, there'd be twice as many girls playing as guys.

Hey Gaile,

many of us who don't regularly do PvP have all our slots filled out, but would nonetheless like to try out the new professions as well, so one extra slot during the preview would be a nice addition.

No, they're not so much 'nerfs' as they are restradgeizing to keep you on your feet. And for the most pat, no one likes that besides the true players (me), who adjust as needed to keep on my feet. Everyone would rathe just say "Down big scary monster!" and say they played this easy game, when really it's meant to be a stradgey game as much as a role playing game.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

:S

Am I the only one that thinks GW is becoming saturated with professions now? I'm gonna miss the 6 Prophecies Professions. I still can't get used to assassins and ritualists and now NCSoft are developing more weird classes that there really isn't any need for. After all, the Dervish is a wammo which there are way too many of now. Sorry to bring down the tone but I don't want any more classes >_<

I understand that Guild Wars is a product of a business and there's money to be made though.

Anyway I think my time to end my Guild Wars life is nearing - not in a 'zomg i'm gonna rage-quit way'. Its just that quantity is beginning to exceed quality.
