The customizable henchmen and HvH is what I'm looking forward to and interested in, but I don't want to get my hopes up yet. Though, it's very exciting to know. Just got to wait and see.
I can't wait to explore Elona, though.

I will be very surprised if it isn't exactly like Factions in this regard.

looks to be well worth the price, hell, a new continent with customizeable hench is worth it alone.

Customizable henchmen sound like a wonderful money sink -- it will also take a lot of "stuff" out of circulation, as people start equiping their pet henchmen.

Noticed some of the bits have long been suggested by the community (commands for henchies). I wonder if older chapter owners will benefit from that or will they miss out again like the storage thing... |
The storyline now, its "sort of" like PoP2,(never played it, never seemed interesting), in PoP2, theres ONE guy, with 2 personalities, in Nightfall, a guy summons an evil god's power, and then the trouble starts. As to the other stuff...

Bout time! I hated being about 3-4 lvls higher than henchies. If they wanted hechies(and players) to be close to henchie lvl at certain areas, they should have been "locked" from the begining(wouldve also prevented "running"), believe it when I see it, Would be nice to at last be able to give appropriate skills for an area
--------------------------
• Two new professions: The Dervish, a scythe-wielding holy warrior and The Paragon, the guardian angels of the Elonian people.
Should be interesting to see skills
• 300 new skills.
--------------------------
• 250 Quests, 55 explorable areas, 20 new Story Missions, and three new Challenge Missions.
Lot of places to see, like it

NICE! i finally become my inner fascist and i take control of every aspect of an npc's life! muahahahahaha.
seriously tho the HvH concept looks promising. now people will have to come up with completely original pvp team builds.

First time I've posted on here in a while. This is the first time I've heard about Nightfall and one thing I must say - judging by the few pictures that are released, Im not particularly impressed with the character graphics.
I know games shouldn't necessarily be judged on graphics but compared to other games that are coming out around the same time, its graphics will seem inferior and judging by the characters, they don't seem to have improved an awful lot from the origional GW.

Nightfall seems wonderful, it will be interesting to see how the whole custom henchmen thing will turn out...
With enough manipulation and knowledge of the AI's I'm sure someone could fashion a spike team out of the henchmen.

Not too excited by the customizable henchmen (because I don't use them), although this may replace many of the "cookie cutter" PuG requests. 20 New Missions - a much needed expansion to the 13 missions in Factions - YES!!! No mention of new armors for Core/Factions characters, or whether any of the 300 new skills will be for Factions characters, though... |

Will Anet finally give me the Role Playing game I have been craving for all this while? This has given me a glimmer of hope!

Very nice, hope it's great when it comes.

It does indeed sound like theyre aiming for the PvE with this one, considering how pissed off *most* people got with factions.
Sai of Winter
I guess the core team focus on PvE and the factions team on PvP. Chapter four could end up PvP focused since the factions team is working it. Just a guess.

are we going back to good old days?

Twenty story missions is very good.
Yup, I'm a happy camper.

how come this is still not up at guildwiki?

I've always wanted customizable Henchies. However it looks as if Nightfall is leaning towards traditional single-player RPGs.

Hey, there,
I need to share something I just posted in another forum, because I think it's really relevant here, too.
I was reading the forums this evening and started to get that déjà vu feeling. Back in 2004, when we announced Guild Wars Prophecies, we saw a lot of retailers pick up on the news and post about the game on their sites. That was good – we appreciated them getting the word out that our game was coming, and they, of course, profited from sharing the info by lining up sales of the preorder and the game.
However, there were some problems with what they posted: Some of it just wasn't factual. For instance, how many veterans remember the "cloth map" that was allegedly going to be part of the Prophecies Collector's Edition? Or how about the supposed "Special Edition" that at least one retailer offered, with a contents list like the CE contents but a price that was $20 lower? Does anyone remember about 412 "release dates," too?
The problem with all these things is: The information did not come from ArenaNet. The information was wrong.
We love to share information. We're excited about Nightfall and can't wait to tell you about it: facts, figures, dates, the whole nine yards! So if we had things nailed down, we would announce details from the rooftops! But things are not locked down yet and neither the box contents nor the game content is finalized. Therefore, we're not making any announcements.
Bottom line: Wait to hear it from ArenaNet. We'll give you the straight info, and as soon as we can.

Well Gaile, I almost started saving up for Nightfall from the original post because it sounded so fun.
Now I'm afraid o.o

Well, I was pretty excited....
Knowing my luck, the customizable henchies and the "55 explorable areas" are going to be the details that end up being false.

Glad I didn't get my hopes up, but I really hope the Hero vs. Hero pvp is real.
Paperfly
Ugh, customisable henchies is probably the worst news (or unfounded rumour, if you read more into the post above me than was carefully not-said ) I've heard about Nightfall so far.
...Maybe I should dig up my five-page rants on the Bioware forums trying to get the henchman system scrapped before NeverWinter Nights came out? The worst thing is that I was pretty much proved 100% right about that one.
I'm sorry; it's my problem, I'll deal with it. - Mr Burns, about bloodsucking lawyers rather than awkward henchmen.
@ Gaile: We certainly appreciate that game store descriptions can be and have been unreliable. And any outright denials and confirmations would be most welcome, I'm sure!
However, this is plausible information from a retailer you've worked closely with in the past. That automatically gives it a ~75% credibility rating (relative to all the other speculation this forum is designed to generate). A disclaimer form yourself that some things, sometimes, have turned out to be inaccurate doesn't actually alter this rating (which, you'll note, is pointedly not absolute) and might even be construed as a tactical error.
Why? Because those of us who have followed the release of a number of major games understand publishers' desire for a meticulously controlled release of publicity-type material. And so your post, which does not confirm or deny any specifics, can be interpreted as saying "Whoops, we weren't ready to reveal that yet" as readily as it could "It's wrong, but I'm not saying it's wrong, even though it is and we could put the speculation to rest".
...This on the long-understood convention that a "no comment" counts as a "yes". Of course, politicians and major corporations have been railling against this convention for decades, but since their motives are suspect they don't really get a say about it.
In other, less laberynthine words, I'm fishing for information - a nice 'confirmed' or 'denied' - here.

Storyline...seems like another darned Good vs. Evil one. U_U
Well...

It sounds awesome i cant wait to test it out during the preview, woot
Ganik Thress
Good Vs. Evil is the most universal theme there has ever been in any type of epic. You can't have a huge war story that involves the theme of for example, secrecy distilled into for example, an intimate, yet subtle relationship of two cowboy, err, man-lovers who are against all odds with their secret, yet have an audience under 20 call it nothing but super gay gayness.
Solar_Takfar
that was, eh. Good, while it lasted.
