Nightfall PC Gamer Thread

Most probably refers to not being able to change the modifiers on green weapons.

I know, I'll probably playing the wrong game; maybe WoW is a better candidate for high-end players with ambitions for uniqueness and reward. But after 16 months in GW, I kinda stuck with this game and will accept new updates even though day by day; GW bury their own grave.

That wouldn't screw up the market.
The only thing REALLY screwing up the market now, is all the people buying gold (seems to be more than half the population). Now most of these people run atleast 1 warrior character, and they've shot the price of Swords and Axes through the roof. Getting a perfect axe isn't as hard as getting a perfect staff with all the same atributes but the price difference is amazing.
Now say one of us players who as been around since the release decides to make a Dervish. We've got this nice looking Purple Req 10 Scythe, BUT it has 16 below 50, I'd rather be able to change that buy buying a part.
I'd rather not wait for some farmer to come up with that same scythe with a better mod but about 5x the price (As it is I don't buy weapons).
But you are making it sound like you think these will change the damage, I don't think that is the case.

Now you change your build and you don't need the energy, instead of buying a whole studded set, you buy one thing and your armor changes from druids to studded in atributes. (This way you don't have to FILL your inventory with armor).
Thats my guess.

the PC Gamer article was definitely nice. It basically overviewed many of the new features and enhancements of Nightfall, and if there was any doubt that Nightfall will breath new life into this game, this article got rid of it.
My favorite feature by far was the inclusion of the drinking and dancing games. Apparently there is a mini-game where you go to a party and steal drinks from people in a certain amount of time. It's these little touches that really add to the game, imho. Not to mention some quest involving you to ride a giant Wurm to your destination, where it will eat you whole allowing you to steer it.
Apparently they've gotten some big-shot D&D writer, who is basically writing the storyline and lore. The voice-acting, according to PC Gamer, has been given special attention too.
Assassins and Rits get skills, the salvage system is being tweaked, upgrades are called "inscriptions" now... not sure how that works, but it essentially lets you mix-and-match upgrades easier.
The only thing that wasn't mentioned was the possible new HDR lighting for the game. There's a video on google videos of someone playing, and the graphics look really different. It doesn't say whether Nightfall has new graphics features, so it's possible that they just use better textures.

no no no, grenths avatar is the coolest.
I think the skill needs a slight buff tho... but we shall see.
----------
inscriptions- good. no more will I feel like a joke trying to sell a 14^50 max item, or a non-max 15 always or things of that nature.
maybe I shouldnt have sold all those crappy "near perfect" zodiac/jade/celestial items I got on double elite weekend & chest run weekend
and likewise I see no reason why the staff inscriptions (sorry just wanted to say it) wouldnt be the same. The word inscriptions just sounds tough.
that armor thing really has me wondering tho... been shard hunting all week for my ritualist because I figured Id have one armor for spiritspam (i have) and one for healing/channeling.... Im going to have to hold off on that now (im halfway there for the fissure hat:P)

So, the question is, what do they mean by "most"? But the next sentence really has me puzzled: OK, at first I just ignored this because I thought they didn't understand the 5 part armor system in Guild Wars. But since it falls right after the "Inscription" sentence, is it possible they meant Runes? What does everyone think? |

Prophecies was garbage, Nightfall is going to be much better.

I hope these new salvage options mean I can make my own purple triple attribute caster items instead of having to open chests to get them

I wanted to warn people that if you go buy your copy of pc gamer in the store, it is NOT plastic-wrapped, so it's very likely that someone looked through all the magazines in several stores and wrote down all of the access keys and sold them on ebay before you even bought the magazine.
I bought mine just now and thankfully my key worked, but for people who buy it after keys have been up on ebay for longer, might not be so lucky.

So yours had plastic wrap? Which store did it come from? Mine was from Borders and none of them were plastic wrapped there.
That's some really terrible luck that yours was even safely plastic-wrapped and there was no access key. Maybe you can call or e-mail pc gamer and they can hook you up with a minipet key?

I would definately call PC Gamer. Hell, mail it to them so they can see for themselves.
ducktape
Oh wow, did anyone see the "monsters" section where they have "Marganite Paragon"? Maybe it's Margonite Paragon, which would mean we get to find out about the Margonites too 
Knightsaber Sith
Borders doesn't carry the plastic wrapped version of PCGamer cause they let everyone read their magazines facilitating key thieves. But my local Compusa has the bagged PCGamers.
--We don't just find out about the Margonites; we kill them. If you watch the Nightfall trailer, you see a Dervish killing one and the prerelease bonus pack says the Margonites worship the evil god that's screwing up Elona.

Wish I could get the preorder pack so I could read juicy details like "the Margonites worship the evil god"...

Sounds like the story I am writing on the Netherworld. A small section is for an exiled god; called the God of Chaos. He was banished to a mirror realm (of the netherworld) for his crimes against the other three major realms (i.e. light, dark, and balance). One of these gods was Fate herself in all her glory, (who is control over the realm of balance).
Originally this so called: God of Choas was just a plain slave immortal without a name to, Velnore the god of the dark realm. However this slave upraised against his master and utterly failed, and scarified himself in the nexus of time; He was then reformed into a new being and took up the name of the God of Chaos. After which he raised war with the other gods, stating that he is the true natural order to life and death (calling them false deities). He destroyed many worlds (and realms forming the next major realm of chaos and oblivion) but it was fate that disrupted this unholy gods plan and rallied the other gods with an armistice. During this god’s trial for his war and notorieties (before banishment), he prophesied that his revenge would come swift and he might return.
In the mirror realm of the Netherworld, the Alkieren people governed over the prison of this former god. In time he tried once to return his control by his creation of the Bromytes (chaos demons). They killed most of the Alkieren’s, but failed and they sealed away the lost city. However they say that the God of Chaos manifests himself as a wraith, and is more powerful then ever, sucking on the former soul’s of the lost Alkerin people (making a wraith nest and invisible dark webbings).
There is much more but (this is but a scratch and is verily general), I really don’t feel like giving away my dead on secrets for my Netherworld Trilogy writings. Finally this character does not pay any major role in the first story because; he is not the main evil of the story. Furthermore the gods try to hide his identity or refer to him as being killed in that epic war.

Methinks it's the Elementalist god. He used to be all that, but the AoE nerf totally broke his kickass triple echo firestorm build.
Peddy
lol I dont think skill nerfs has such a large effect on a evil uber god.

Yes sadly mine was plastic wrapped, came from barnes and noble, gonna call or something later. I need to pick up the pack, but one comes with my game, but that's in like...forever.

Long story short, I raised enough hell after being batted back and forth between PCG and Anet that Anet reissued a new key to me. I think what worked in my favor is that I insisted they cancel the stolen key. That way they knew I was sincere and wasn't trying to scam one.*
Maybe you could scan the blank box and send it to Anet support. I know that would be a hassle though. Probably the easiest and fastest thing to do would be to return the mag to B&N and exchange it for another. Just make sure you check it before you leave.
*BTW, thanks Anet...
Horseman Of War
its stated in the lore that each of the gods have a different element attatched to them, for example balthazar is war and fire, and melandru is nature and earth.
elementalists dont have a single god, because of their inherent diversity. Its covered.
grenth= water
dwayna=air
melandru=earth
balthazar=fire
look it up, its as simple as that.
and why is the fallen god NOT dhuum again? I missed something. That statue looks like a margonite to me.
edit-> or at least what the margonites anti-ascended to.

How does Anet justify giving away mini pandas? Is it because minis can't die? Just add the actual pet pandas like previously planned because the chances of game release in China is slim to none anyway.
Knightsaber Sith
err; they are releasing in China soon
but NCsoft has made a three year commitment for some other guys to host it

DID ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE...................
that it said NIGHTFALL characters could choose which mod to salvage and keep the weapon the mod came from?
did you notice it made no mention of doing that in back chapters?
think chapter 2 storage tabs.
think chapter 3 selective salvage.
think frantic farmers buying frantically
i love it

Does that mean China will be completely cut off from everyone else? I don't know how their things opperate, being communist and all. :\ If they're not interacting with the rest of the servers (I doubt they'd allow that), we should have pandas. >.>

They Gray giant will only be accesible In the PvE Weekend, Then once you start a Nightfall game starting the 27th.
