Will nightfall offer enough stuff to entertain us?

Hey everyone, I've been playing guild wars for 15 months now, and started to notice that people who have been playing for a long time are getting bored with guild wars.

I've had a time where I stopped playing for 2 months, and started again, but this is way more serious, officers, members hell most people in my guild are getting bored with that stuff.

When factions was released it was something new and I did enjoy playing guild wars again, but will this last with nightfall?

Im asking all people who have been playing for more then 10 months to share an oppinion, because if its 10months -, chances are you can't even imagine becoming bored with gwars.

Ok, so here's my question: Will guild wars slowly die out if nightfall isnt good enough to keep us buzy?

Answer : No.

Factions was made by a different dev team. The original team that worked on Prophecies are working on Nightfall. It has even been stated that Factions was PvP based. There currently isn't much basis for comparison.

I think it will end up the same as factions.

They can add new things, sure, but the fact is, unlike Guild Wars (core) that was worked on and developed by ONE team over a long amount, these expansions into the game are being worked by smaller teams, and in much less time- just about a year each expansion to be precise. I'm just dont think its enough time to provide:
-A good storyline
-A sufficient number of missions
-A balance in the game itself
-A good level of new content
-Replayability

Technically, Factions was also made by the same team as Prophecies, was it not?

Because with the first Guild Wars, it was 1 team of about 160 (or somewhere around that.)

Then after it released, 80 people split into Factions, other 80 would continue to work on the Prophecies campaign until November, when they started on Nightfall.

So yeah, besides the fact that they may have hired, or released people here and there, both teams are the "original" team I believe.

thats my point, im afraid it wont offer enough replayability, which will cause people to quit playing gwars

Look at it this way: too much of ANYTHING gets boring after a while. Could be that people are just taking a break for a while, that's all...

That's true. But that is also why ANET has supposedly added puzzles and more challenging situations in Nightfall.

If they were to continue the "defeat bad guy" script, things are gonna feel repetitive and eventually people will leave to try other things.

it is not meant to be played/replayed forever.

take a break and come back for the next special event/chapter/when you feel like it.

Take some advice from Loviatar here, you aren't paying every month for Guild Wars, there is no reason that you should feel obligated to continue to play if you are bored with the game. This is supposed to be a game that you can set down for a while, and come back to play months later.

There is no reason for anyone to keep playing this game if they are getting bored with it.

i've been around 12months and i'm still haveing fun with both games, so i don't see how people get bored so easly. Nightfall will most likey be alot harder then these two games becuase of the new things that they have put into them. We will have to wait till end of oct to find out.

To answer the question, no. How can a person be bored in Guild Wars Series of gAmes? There is always something to do or something to strive for. I might take a break every so often but I will always come back and pick up where I left off.

thing is mmorg or rpg or whatever you want to call them they all need something unique guild wars had some unique things but factions wasnt in my mind it was really just things that had been seen before. thats what makes rpg all differnt they are differnt thats whats attracts people but when something is nerally the same it kinder isnt fun

Wrong, the full crew made Prophecies. Then they split, 1 team made factions. Now the other half is making Nightfall. Think about it, why would the GW team split and have only half of their employees work on Prophecies?

GW does not provide quality PvE experience. The story is pathetic, the engine needs improvements, game mechanics are crippled, pathing is more than horrific, etc. I expect more of the same for the PvE side of Nightfall.

GW has a wonderful PvP side to it where the true value of the game can actually be seen. However, the PvP grind hasn't been addressed and doesn't look like it's going to be addressed in NF. So, yes, more of the same here as well.

Factions was hardly anything to be thrilled about, NF will likely follow the same path. More of the same seems to pretty much be the formula ANet have chosen for GW. Surely, there will be new toys but they will get old faster than with Prophecies and faster than with Factions. Not enough has changed in the game to warrent high expectations of NF.

People wont get bored of nightfall, or guildwars.


they already paid 40$ for it

KNIGHTS OF TEMPLAR RULE

corpg ^_^

Played for almost 12 months now and I am bored of this game, I only do HA every now and then cause that's what still is fun. I've had times I quit for a few months aswell. But I won't definately buy Nightfall. After all, Factions was crap aswell.

<--- Been playing since release and feeling the beginning signs of boredom. Unfortunately I dont have the finances for a new game so: NIGHTFALL, ENTERTAIN ME DAMMIT!!!! Joining a new guild ususally seems to re-spark my interest thoug.

Probably, just came back from a "summer break", so i havent even played factions that mutch yet.

Faction is the best man. Lvl character fast as heck to lvl 20. Have all the non elite skills available right in the beginning of the game. I mean, what is there not to love? It was only because of factions that I was able to make so many new characters and try all these diff. pro. I never bothered in prophecies because the process just took too long.


And to the original topic. If you dislike the game or get bored of it. Then don't buy or play the game. Nightfall is going to be have the same game engine, same skill designs so it'll always be more of the same. People think prophecies was cool because back then, it was a "new" game. But now everything after it is of course more of the same.
