Looks sweet, only thing im noticing though is there's no difference in landscapes really. Otherwise way cool. It's got flying things, ghost things, and rabid alligator/wharthog things. I hope they let you use the rhinos as pets.

I just watched it. This was the original hi-res Video footage that was shown in ChinaJoy games convention and the low res version on You tube and mention was posted in this thread:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10013596

From the looks so far the environments looks pretty impressive.



Edit: *spoilers*

At 00:30 you see Emperor Kisu at the bottom left hand corner of the Nightfall town...Faction story involvement or faction promotion maybe. Interesting.

Paragon non starter armour featured in 01:18-01:24. It was mentioned that paragon armour would include "wings". The shoulder wing plates and those on the boots and arm looks rather.....disappointing. Exposed belly...... i hope that was no indication of the 15k armours for Paragon.

Man oh man...

Looks like it will be very desert/arid (much like the Crystal Desert).

Love the chaos-winged demon battle. Also looks like Skales will make a resurgence in Nightfall.

GUYS LOOK AT THIS! When the camera entered the gate in the beginning. Look who is standing there in the left corner. Its the emperoro guy from GW Factions, (cant remember the name but...). Posssible that elona asks for help from Cantha?

Also, lokk at the foe when it is 40 sec left of the film, he doesnt only uses his bow as attack, thats cool never seen in GW:P or GW:F

it was brilliant, i saw the emperor thing too and i was "Hmmm, canthan involvment sounds quite intresting" They really made it seem like the paragon could take things out with a single blow lol. It was defiantly good, nightfall seems to please the eyes, hopfully it will feed the need to play too.

Nightfall defintely look more worthy of my $50 than faction.

Kind of upset how they illustrate the far east compared to North Africa.

Wow, looks better seeing it in high resolution rather than the off-screen video. The environment looks really amazing as well as the monsters. I saw that they had some Factions weapon skins in the cinematic xD But I guess they didn't have any new skins ready yet when they were making the video.

well if the emperior is their then that means most likey that the Assassin and Rit will have some type of new skills in the game? Just an idea, we will have to wait though.

B-E-A-OOTIFUL!! Never been so amazed by a trailer, time to invest in some cp upgrades to max out those graphics

Scenery is amazing, new monsters are amazing.. drool...

From the video however, all the area's look pretty wide open, and the differences between some suggest to me that were looking at another tyrian sized map (SWEETNESS) unless of course some of the areas are UW/FoW style, which could be possible considering all the talk about them recently.

The monster with the glowing wings? weilding a bow but doing melee? although it does look like the animation for throwing a spear.

Croc's and Rhino's as pets? Fine with me but they seem a little large, just imagine IWAY with those things lol

I'm stoked

I was wondering the same thing. I would like to know what is going on with that creature.

That trailer is awesome, but I have a question...

For a land "infected with a creeping darkness" shouldnt there be a little more... darkness?

I didn't see a lot of new items. I saw a lot of olds ones So I guess I will go on and keep saying to myself that it was only a preview and there will be more items.

why do people still think there will be new skills for az and rits? dont you people ever read up on things?

the cantha involvement will work exactly like it does already- there will be a point in the game where you get a 'quest' that will take you to the new port.. in retrospect, characters from Elona will get quests to either "fight the undead in tyria" or "fight the plague in cantha".

As always, the graphics look stunning. No one can ever say Guild Wars isn't a beautiful game.

The landscapes look impressive. Was hoping to see something besides the paragons and dervishes using regular attacks, but they look great nonetheless.

The trailer was pretty cool, I like all the new enemies and the scenery. Now, when is that PVE preview weekend?

I hope they release more screenshots and details about Nightfall soon.

The music is very cool, being all epic and stuff. It also reminded me of The Mummy movies. Also looking at those palaces brought back the Prince of Persia days. This game looks very good, cant wait to explore those vast areas! Looks like charge is gonna need a capping.

and heres Kisu if you couldnt see him in the video:

Has anyone thought that maybe Kisu is there because he's trying to recruit Elonians to fight the plague, like Mhenlo was in Tyria? Or something like that...

IMO , now that the storyline with it being Cantha goes to save them... then.. that would carry out Assassin and Ritualist =D

Geez it looks pretty identical to prophecies in the landscape department, with cities that look like factions with a slightly different theme. Im pretty unimpressed

Heh I noticed it too. Maybe Krytans borrowed from Elonas architecture? I have a feeling that maybe the Krytans come from Elona anyways, way back when (before the Gods I think, but I dont know the lore too well).

Or maybe the Prophicies team is lazy.

The Krytans came from Ascalon. Didn't you read the lore? Does anybody read the lore?

i noticed that the first winged harpie foe thing was using canthan weapons, a bladed shield and dadao sword. does this mean that there wont be any elonian native weapons?

There definately will be. I'm pretty sure that they just haven't finished designing them yet, and so they didn't put them in the preview.

I hope...

I'm pretty unimpressed by the landscape myself, although I like the new elements in it.

I hope there will be more to "Nightfall" or many people will surely lose interest in the game (especially if they keep throwing mediocre add-ons on the market every 6 months).

@ ArenaNet: Dozens of new professions are no long term solution to boredom.

This is not a thread about mounts. This is especially not a thread for arguements.

nope, no one reads the lore, then they dont read the quest dialogue, then they skip the cinematics, then they bitch about the lack of story and complain about things not making sense.

This looks awesome to me. I love the crystal desert and look forward to the desert areas in Nightfall.

By the way that one place looks like it has the same fountain as Lion's Arch.

No it means they don't want to show you / reveal TOO much at this point, I think.

Maybe they will have weapons like the Sundering Rhino's Charge from the prophecies game of the year edition

for those of you that say that the landscape is unimpressive, you must be blind. Guildwars is a brilliant looking game, especially for no monthly fees.

seems interesting, too bad i cant watch it right now. too bad i have a mac laptop :/
