Just had this months PC Format(sept 06) arrive, it has several features on GW and GW:Nightfall including a key for the Ch3 Beta Weekend.
"If you activate the GW trial on this months cover disk over the weekend of Sept 1st, you can sample Nightfalls PVE for yourself"..
Cool!

Nice...never heard of that magazine. Is that published in the U.S.?

It's a worldwide one, but is mostly sold in Europe and Oceania

Hmmm, I'll have to see where to pick it up then, as scans of the magazine are always hard to track down and deleted fast on forums.

As an added note, I'd like to point out that while a scan of a magazine is definitely copyright infringement, and will be deleted on sight, the same way we handled it during the Factions release (the article was from Computer Gaming World), summarizing it loosely in your own words is fine.
A sample used to be here:

But the post has since been updated with all of the future information, and it isn't really an example anymore.

It seems odd that they would do the pve weekend before the prerelease packs are due in stores. I liked having the bonus weapons on new characters during the Factions pve preview.

I was really expecting some major information in this magazine! Is the OP holding back?
Medion
Now that would be a nice birthday present! 
(Not to mention it's the weekend before school starts again...so nice timing Anet! .)
Btw, anyone knows why my www.eu.guildwars.com shows such small letters and stuff? (using internet explorer)

I do have the mag, waves it in front of the monitor(subscription ftw). I can't do a scan etc but here's a snippet that I think will be ok. Mods feel free to remove of not. There's no content as such, so we may be ok
The cover is of Nika looking very smart.
It does'nt say much more than we know, but does mention it will cover off the Shiro/titan story arc.

he stated it had arrived and contained the articles along with the magazine access key.

Shan you are alloed to paraphrase the articles (only if you want to of course!)
Can you describe the new screenshots?
Can you describe the new screenshots?
Shanaeri Rynale
ok, let me try
1, Branching quest structure, that gives you choices on how your own story progresses
2. Paragons seems to chosen by the Gods to Defend Elona
3. You can skill, equip and command henchies as you see fit.
Screenshot are of
1. A dervish fighting a bewinged demon, interesting thing is that the wings of the demon are shining white. Demon has six eyes with two rows of teeth, and looks to be what could be corrrupted paragon armor.
2. A tunisian/morrocan style city scape called Highlands of Elona
3. Hanging gardens of Babylon style cityscape

The story sounds like a ploy to get people interested in previous chapters.

"Customizable Heroes (party NPCs) that level up with the player, follow player instructions in combat, and use armor, weapons, and skills of the player's choice."

Yeah! I will never have to type the letters L, F or G again!
Ah, wait. They probably still won't pick items up, will they?
"Henchway wins a battle in the Hall of Heroes. They need one more win to take the favor of the gods from Europe."

The only times I've managed masters (5 times in total) is if the other team is a full bot team.But meh.. My school starts just before then, hopefully I have a properly working 'net connection by then so I can pick up PC format and try this out

But on another note, my birthday is september 2 so if there really is a event then, then it will sorta seem like a birthday present to me from Arena Net so I'm not complaining!
GloryFox
I wonder why the magazine use a picture of Nika and not Devona or one of the new classes? Can anyone awnser this? Could Nika be important for the next chapter for a Factions / Nightfall tie in?
I pwnd U
Its a possible idea Glory. Devona somewhat tied into chapter 2 thanks to Mhenlo. So yes possibly both could tie into Chapter 3 in one way or another. I am sure this will be a recurring theme. Chapter one will tie into all the other Chapters as they are trying to build the storyline.
brokenmonkey
Well becuase of the big question "Will there be any new Assasins skills or rits skills in further chapters, or no becuase there Canthan characters .. ?" well maby they put Nika there for a reason.. if she does haeva big part then Maby thast how there will be new skills!
Ken Dei
I'm waiting for A.Net to annouce whatever events they have planned, they're are the ONLY reliable source.
ZsasZ
I'm not denying this or anything, but I do find it odd that the only source (so far) that's giving specifics (and keys, I assume?) on a PVE event a little more than 3 weeks away is a single UK game magazine. Did they get a scoop, or will other mags possibly catch up?
Horseman Of War
yes. I do enjoy factions for what it is worth- challenge missions/alliance battles/ quick XP for new characters....
But I am just as excited about the next chapter to be as immersive as the first game was.
Factions is perfect for levelling up a character- although unlike GW1 you really have to grind the quests to get to the fun areas [Zos Chrivos FTW]
Im hoping Nightfall will be like GW 1 in that you have a slower progression enabling you to learn more of your professions' skills and ways of using them.
Basically i look at it like this: each chapter is going to be geared toward some aspect of the community. GW 1 came out, and everyone complained about slow levelling, quest reward skills, etc....
Factions came out and changed that... quick levelling, easy skill aquisition.
I think Nightfall will be more like the first game, although geared even more toward the ppl that seem to always go solo w/henchies. Itll decrease the amount of people complaining about the difficulty of finding a group, because using henchies will actually become more rewarding of an experience-- especially for all you controll freaks out there
