Highlights of Gaile Visit Re: Nightfall

Rather than writing that all out myself I'd thought I'd post this here for all to read.

It's all sounding great but it does seem to be that the assassins/ritualists will have no additional skills in this, or unlikely to from the conversation.

oooo 26 character slots

Random Gaile quote of the day: "Please, please, don't uppercase. The eyes, they burn! "

I'll try to use that one on people who currently trade spam in general chat, but it wont work.

OMG... they had a barbeque... im hungry.... its frteezing down here

If they admitted that before Factions was released there might have been a lot less pissed off players around (who also might not have bought it). Anyway, at least now there's official confirmation of what many already suspected.

Sigh. The alternat access to elite missions was promised aaaaaaaaaaaages ago, and still isn't out? (I'm not there in the game yet, but it's still terrible that they haven't fixed that.)

omg it all sounds soooo juicy!!!

Was it? I don't think so. Got a link?

"Character slots are coming "VERY soon"."
"No additional character slots for the upcoming PvP Preview weekend"

Hmm...

If this means we will get character slots shortly AFTER the event it seems this is a very poor marketing strategy for Anet. They would be wise to release the slots with the event start. The only reason I think they won't is because of Gaile's information which said there will be no additional slots for the event. Lets hope I'm wrong.

Gaile ment no character slots SPECIFICALLY for this event, it has been a request by the community for a while now, to have a slot special for these types of events so they can participate when they use every single character slot they have.

That's what people said about Factions! I hope our hopes aren't dashed a second time.

Right, I know that. I was only saying that I hope they release the purchaseable slots with or before the event.

I'd hate to have to delete my new ele at HzH just to try out the new classes.

Score! Finally a semi-official announcement about character slots! Cookies for Gaile Gray and levac, thanks for the summary!

I thought it seemed pretty obvious from the PVE preview weekend that Alliance Battle was really the star of Factions.

I agree with this other guy before, got a link on that promise? I recall no such thing.


Not like it was ever that hard for any Kurzick to get a free ferry from oOo when they held house and EoE now. Donno what things are like on the Luxon side.

Oh well. Guess I will wait for the PvE preview then. No way am I going to kill off one of my lvl 20 characters just to be able to do a weekend preview of Nightfall. A pity, I would have enjoyed a romp around a PvP event when it is full of noobs (like me), watching all the dedicated PvP'ers turn purple because I didn't bring the latest and hottest build.

How long before all the wannabe Dervishes and Paragons are slaughtered by core profession characters brought over specifically to be able to crow about how l33t they are? 12 hours? 24 hours? No longer than that, I bet!

All a pvper has to look at are the Paragon and Dervish pre-made templates.

Look at how they work. Build a counter build. Jump into RA and kill all of them because they are new at their classes.

fun fun fun.

Keep in mind that those 26 slots are in ADDITION to the slots that you get from chapters. So if you have the first three chapters, you will have 34 slots. So you could take the 6 core professions and have every primary/secondary combonation (i.e. 5 warriors and 5 elementalists and 5 monks, etc.) and still have 4 slots, one for each of the expansion professions. Who needs to reroll, just switch characters, lol

To cry for.
Hero vs Hero won't blow the socks of any pvp player.

This saddens me. I hope the skills are worthy of pvp, else this chapter will be disappointing for me.

Yup, hre's the link

Or, here's a quote:

"Hey, all,

Just a word that we hear you, and are currently working on solutions to this concern. I don't have specifics yet -- the design team is meeting to discuss various options and you know how super-secretive they are! But there will be an alternative means for players to access Elite Missions.

Do remember the devs will devise, discuss, and then test this new means of access. They'll amend, if necessary, or roll out if all is found to be good to go. Basically, nothing is easy, or simple, when you want to do it right. So give us a month or two to finalize this system, and we'll share more with you as it becomes available!

Thanks for your thoughts. To those of you who expressed your concerns so constructively and with such support, an extra-special thanks!

Been several months and not a word.

That elite mission comment annoys me as well. Those of us who were in TC worked hard and saw that as a great achievement well worth the headaches.. Im hoping that doesnt mean theres a possibility that its not happening.

I've heard different messages about the current alliance ferrying, and while its nice when alliances do ferry, I'd like to see the alternate access in the future..
