PvE Event?
Akbur the great
Nightfall had a PvP and a PvE event, so are we gonna get a PvE for nightfall too?
LifeInfusion
I think you meant Factions ahd a PvE and PvP event... not nightfall...
Anyhow it is highly likely we will get a PvE event that samples a small portion of the content.

gaile already siad that we will have a pve nightfall event during one of her talk things and usually when someone official isn't sure about something, they say things like "probably" and "it would be nice" and other similar things. I'm pretty confident there will be one. I just have no clue when....

The prerelease pack will come out Sept. 15th and I would guess that the PvE event will come 1-2 weeks after it. Since the prerelease pack comes with a bonus "Nightfall character slot" it may very well be that this "Nightfall slot" will be usable during the PvE event, so ppl without any free slots can try Nightfall out that way.
This of course would be good marketing, so it's probably true, or close to true. So a week or two after Sept 15th would be about a month before the full release so again it would be nice timing.

I don't have proof, but I seem to remember reading somewhere on guru that the PVE event will be September 22-24. I'm sure someone can back me up on that.

September 22 - 24.

Gaile said there will be a PvE event (in her usual fuzzy words, in order not to promise anything), without specifiying a date.
According to German magazine Gamestar, who were granted an exclusive preview by ANet, the PvE even is scheduled for September 22-24, but ANet have not confirmed (or denied) this.

If there is a PvE event, I'm not going to play. The Factions PvE event was waaaay too big, I could explore pretty much the entire map, and that just sapped the fun out of exploring when I got the full game.
The Factions PvE event was a spoiler.

Yeah, I believe that it was quoted from some German magazine that it was Sep 22-24. Anet hasn't officially confirmed it, but it is the time frame you'd expect it to happen and is highly likely.

I remember the Factions PvE event and how much fun it was. Getting killed by the Dragons at the end was the best. Jade quarries and Fort Aspenwood was always full and we had 12v12 random AB arena's.
Now that I have played through Factions I would have prefered it if they had only allowed us on Shing Jea Island for a PvE event and not the Mainland for the Kurzack and Luxan area's.
So if I have a request its for anet TO KEEP US ON THE ISLAND and not send us out into the final area's of the game.

I agree. I also think we should start at Level 1.
I know, I know, no chance to check out Elite skills, yada yada. Look, that's what you buy the game for. A preview should be just that, a hint of what's to come, not access to the later content of the game (IMO of course).
If the PvE is level 20 content again, I might just skip it. I want to be surprised by Nightfall!

With regards the bonus character slot provided by the Pre-Release package, please be aware that it only becomes active when you add it to an account that has a retail (standard or CE) Access Key. It will therefore not be available during the preview event.

I'm guessing it comes availible instantly after the key is added.

Hey, Alex please don't schedule it for the Weekend of Sept 29 - Oct 1.
Because that's my wife's and my Anniversary, and she won't appreciate if I play Guild Wars all the time!
Read Alex's statement again. The bonus slot will not be available for the preview event. Period.
You'll need an empty slot (or open a trial account), if you want access.

I hope too that the PvE pre event will be just the low lvl island. In the Factions PvE pre event i did all quests on both Kurzick and Luxon sides, so i was very dissapointed when the game was officially released because i had already tested half of the game.. 
Anyway, i am seriously considering not to participate in the PvE event. Maybe i will log in just to see the changes on the skills of both Paragon and Dervish, but nothing else. And im glad im not the only one that will skip the pre event... it makes me feel less "weirdo", LOL

Thanks for catching that mistake of mine Mordakai, had to correct it to what I wanted say.
Loviatar ANYTHING TO HELP YOUR POST COUNT HUH. TYPING IN CAPS AND BOLD GETS REALLY ANNOYING AS HELL. BUT THANKS AT POINTING OUT OBVIOUS FROM THE POSTER ABOVE YOU.
Back on topic
Well at least I have my other account I hardly use, so I can check thing’s in the PvE event.

also i did delete it as well
as for the post count i havent checked it in months but i know that there are several others that post more in a week than i post in a month so what do a few more or less matter?
LadyNilene
I hope they will do a Pve event for Nightfalls, because although I have the game preorder, it wont arrive till the 30th (Amazon's estimated date)...so i hope they do something to ease the waiting period.

I think we can count on it being the end of September, they seem to be following a similar schedule to Factions.

lol, they better have a PvE event. The thing is supposed to much more focused on PvE after all.
I hope they start us off at level 10 with one hero already for us to custimise.
I'd say thats pretty even.
