Im intending to organise a group to go through Nightfall as quickly as possible. Maybe without sleep depending on how long it takes us (i.e. after 2 full days we will probably need a break). Anyway I figured I should look for interest and start organising it.
I am lo0oking for at least a certain level of ability in the people coming, so say any qualifications. (god that sounds pompous and arrogant)
This is the party I intend to take. (we will be starting with brand new characters, not tyrian/canthan)
1. Warrior -Mortal Transfer
2. Dervish -The Truth Itself
3. Ranger -NevinJF
4. Elementalist -Amok Affinity
5. Necro Minion Master
6. Paragon -Linkusmax
7. Monk -KurtTheBehemoth
8. Monk - Bowman Artemis
Say what you would be interested in playing.
We will be using Ventrillo, I will be frapsing important parts and will be posting screenshots on guru (most likely in the community works forum if possible) here every two hours.
-There is currently another post on GWOnline for the same reason, I will update both with interested parties/new information.
Guild Wars Nightfall Completion group.

eh it was never a matter of how many I need, I just think a party of 8 skilled humans will always be better then henchies, even if they are set up as you like them.

IT will be SO dificult! Many missions, Many traps, Many puzzles. It will be hard. 2weeks of FULL HARDCORE, and its completed, good luck finding group. it will be hard 2. 
The truth itself
Trust me, even if they double the difficulty of factions. It will still be easy.

Ok.
To the OP.
I plan on starting a PVE elementalist when Nightfall comes out, and I would join you in the number 4 spot. However, I don't have big chunks of time to devote to it. I really am just a casual player. But I hope you find a good group to work with.
Duly Thankful
Is it a race? Why rush it when you can take your time and enjoy yourself? Personally I try and keep my competetiveness for RL (where it pays off) and simply play games for fun.
Oh well, I suppose it takes all sorts.

I'm probably going to have to take my time, unfortunately I will be away at college...i probably wont be able to finish the game on one character until winter break.

Only problem is their skill sets, and weird rezzing habits. Apart from weird Glitching with paths.

quickmonty
Both Prophecies and Factions start with groups smaller than 8. How will you handle that if they follow the same outline in Nightfall?
Linkusmax
I am assuming it will follow similar lines to the other games and roups will be even in numbers, presumably it will be similar to factions starting at 4 then jumping up to 8.
so
Group1: Warrior, Ele, Necro, Monk
Group2: Dervish, Ranger, Paragon, Monk
Organisational problems will be handled over vent, (i.e. when to meet, how to solve difficult puzzles if we are still split.)
If all else fails I will have to find just one or two otheers and take henchies.
As I stated before, while henchies may be superior to many players, when compared to an experianced group of players wth proper organisation they are very mediocre. Experianced is the key poin there. Good players will always do it faster and better then henchies.
I know this from when I was in one of the first 20 or so people to finish the game. Players were much better in the late areas of the game then because they had to be good to have proceeded so far so fast. As time went on the pugs I ended up with on consective characters have degraded in quality on average quite drastically. I enjoyed going through the game quickly, doing my best to beat it. (Not to mention profiting heavily from the sale of an end game green 100k +50 ecto for shiros blades is more then I would of made from farming for the same duration.)
I don't do it out of competitiveness. I just enjoy pushing myself to see how well I can do somthing. In my opinion Guild Wars PvE is more fun when its more fast paced.
Besides I will be on break from Uni, so plenty of spare time.

If you replace the ranger with a mesmer then I'll join...

This might be interesting, I'll keep watch on this if this gets organized I can fill any one of the positions you may need.
This also depends on the release date. If its during a school week I couldn't stay up 2 days straight while going to school and playing GW.
And about henchies. Henchmen may be superior to some pugs. Compared to any decent player henchmen are terrible. Sure they may be fast but they have AI not a brain. They don't know what to do when put in a situation that is not in their program. Henchmen will never be as good as a decent human. The same way that robots will never be as good as a human. (sure they can do one thing fast but if they encounter something that was not expected they will not be able to think) Okay end rant : D. Enough about henchies being the best because they certainly are not!

Why wont' you take Mesmer?? we get no love >.>
Horseman Of War
you really think having such a 'typically balanced' team is really that essential? A healer is nice, and we all know that MMs are useful for 90% of the game... sure warriors are good tanks- but so are dervishes. Likewise, a mesmer could EASILY replace any of those. Two monks? Maybe once you get halfway through the game...
personally, If I were to do this, Id take one monk and seven anythings (which would probably be like 4 dervishes, 2 paragons, and a mesmer/ranger/necro/ele)
i bet you a team of all dervishes and paragons would have a higher survival rate... especially considering many of us experienced players already have our core class characters.
Id like to say id race you to the finish, but Ill probably get my paragon to level 20 and spend the next 6 months in RA (not literally, but you get the idea)
Although, I will try to message you if i can remember to-> with a focused group, I might be able to stay focused myself!
And... I do plan on finally making a Ranger primary with my 3rd extra slot... so maybe it wont be TOO hard to get experienced people who want to make a core class for the first time... only time will tell.
Considering everyone and their mothers will be playing dervish, why not just make an 8 man power-derv team?

Its not that I wont take mesmers, Its just that I added the first things which came to mind, Im sure the ranger could be replaced with a mesmer if nessercary, and I wanted at least One of each new profession and 2 monks. so thats half the team already.
I selected the other classes above due to their versatility (Or in the case of the MM and warrior their sheer effectiveness.)

In GW1 we were looked at as useless
In GW2 we were looked at with wonder
In GW3 we might be the most important thing a group has
OUR time of ascension is almost here (although the noobs who dont know how to play mesmer still wont invite us... poor clueless non-mesmers ftL lol)
No dervish has anything on my mesmer. (on pvp weekend at least)

Like I said, endgame stuff does usually work best with two healers- so I do agree with you. (EDIT- I think originally I forgot to include my opinion that dervishes and paragons are good at self-healing, hope that clears up my somewhat vague post
)I just know some people really really only ever allow certain builds/classes into their groups... I was only asking because I do have interest.
Just trying to make the point that most of us who have been playing for a while, if making a new character, will 66% be one of the new classes.
Its SO long away-> but yeah planning is 90% of the win, so I hope I didnt come off as negative in my post.

tuf pepper
huh... this sounds kinnda fun I am willing to join your party but I will not be making a new char my monk always comes first so I will be bring my tyia monk to Night Fall if your willing to take a lvl 20 monk with all tyia and canthan elites and reguler skills I am all your's you will just have to let me know when to meet you.
ps.. I dont use vent/ts if I want to hear some one complain about some thing they will have to type it out for the simple reason of its wasting your time by typing it for wasting my time for reading it.. and also for the main reason I like to read what others say so it gives me time to think of the Q or what ever it was in vent/ts it feels like I have to respond right then and their.

LOL this is exactly why people get bored of GW so fast. I'll say this, if any of you who rush through the game and then say there bored later on, i'll just link this thread to yours and say this....you brought this on yourself.
If this is your attempt to capitilize on the "market of GW" thats a waste, because you don't need to rush and ruin the game to make money.
I didnt rush through either chapter, I didn't really go slow either. But I still made tons of money.
Ah well, I would at least be surprised if you do it in 2 days. I'm placing my bets with some friends :P

tuf pepper
Well I rushed though factions and I did not capitilize on any of the end game greens like so many did. The only reason why I dont mind rushing though a game is so when ever a friend needs a monk I can be their for them. But all my other chars I take my time on.
And also I still have not gotten bored of GW due to the fact I have 6 soon to be 8-9 chars to play with. I do all quest and evry mission then I go around getting elites and other skills and learn new builds and make my own builds. I dont think I'll ever get bored since my main goal is to get evry char all skills/elites of evry profession and to get all/most of the max titles. And A-Net is making that job even longer with new chapters every 6 months lol.
To the ppl that say they are bored of the game is mostly becouse they beat the game but have not unlocked evry skill and all chars with evry skill in evry profession and got evry title to the max. So in all they havnt beaten the game just the story part of it..
but I do agree with you two days is a short amont of time I just wanna see if I for one can do it and if hes looking for some one to help I am willing to help

anyhow, if this all pans out im up for rolling out a fresh new Nightfall ele for the cause. heh.

Wishing you luck on this; promise to post pics along the way if you can. Is your group looking to just finish, or will you be purchasing armor/weapons/etc. along the way? I think it would be pretty cool if we could all get a look at the things you encounter along the way, if you have time to post such things...

Good looks like I am starting to get a few people interested.
For your information we will be using my vent channels. I personally will be intending to purchase 15k armour if the oppurtunity comes up during the play. I have Fraps and will be taking footage of interesting things (including the final mission) and will post screenshots up every two hours.
About boredom, I don't play alot of PvE these days anyway, being obssessed with GvG and having finished factions with all 5 chars I have.

KurtTheBehemoth
I will be getting the presale package and get into the game in the 24 hr preview. I did this same thing in Factions and let me say I am a machine.
Resume:
1600hrs in 8 months
lvl 20 heal, prot, bond, 55, echo 55,
concentration 55, or regular 55monk
lvl 20 runner or tank warrior
lvl 20 poison, interrupt, bp, or trap ranger
lvl 20 mm, blood, or SS necro
lvl 20 wind, water, earth, or fire elementalist
lvl 20 illusion, or domination mesmer
I have 1000k to buy plenty or armor and runes as i go in Nightfall.
Most importantly i am a 25 y/o Night security guard.
I am your perfect choice for versatility and motivation. I will just leave one of my officers in charge of the guild while im gone.
If you are interested my IGN's are
Kurt The Quick
Kurt The Friend
Kurt The Somber
Kurt The Behemoth
Kurt The Temporary
Kurt The Heat Death
Kurt The Leader
Kurt The Lazy
Kurt The Omniscient
Kurt The Clever
etc.....
the top six are the ones im always on. the other 12 are my mules. I know what you are thinking. I play too much.
My preference character choice is monk. I play the health bars like a piano. It's a symphony of heals.

Well, if you need a ranger. I volunteer. I will have university but i think i'll still be able to play 3-5 hours a day. Need to beat it as quikly as possible :P
I could play as something else, but i'd prefer a ranger since as of now i'm planning ranger to be char no. 1 i run through the storyline with. In case you do not need another ranger i can volunteer as a paragon (second choice).

Hey OP,
I noticed that you put "interested" next to my name. Dude just count me in. I am the best monk in GW. Not kidding, you would laugh if you saw the regular noobish bp groups that I single handedly get thru ToPK. PvE healing is my art. I heal so fast that sometimes I don't even notice my own movements. I have "lightning reflexes". If you doubt me, just message me IG and come on a ToPK run with me. Or we could do Thunderhead keep. I monk that for guildies all the time.
PS. Plus, you don't have to worry about me being available because I will be taking vacation for the weekend of the 28th. Lol, taking vacation just to play a video game defines me as a total nerd.
