Nightfall PC Gamer Thread

Seems that they took a page from real history. Sounds very much like when the christians ran amuck in Egypt.

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.

LoL Is there anywhere the Christians didn't run amok?

where did you get that? is that from a gw book or something?

In other words, it can't be Dhuum. Everyone prancing Canthan Child knows Dhuum's name. It also can't be Menzies, cuz Menzies is a pansy. His ass is routinely kicked by Balthazar. But this Banished God is supposed to be strong enough to put up a fight against all five Old Gods.

Methinks it's the Elementalist god. He used to be all that, but the AoE nerf totally broke his kickass triple echo firestorm build.

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.

prerelease pack

Hey, I'm a subscriber to PC Gamer. My key was there when I got my mag, but when I put in the code I got an error. "Already in use." You'd think if the magazine is delivered to your door you're pretty safe. NOT!

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...

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.

Very good catch, I must agree that the Great Destroyer fits the bill... but god knows Im cheering for Dhuum's team.

What is the contents of the starter kit you can get?

If you have any Pics, Please post them here, or if I'm blind, and there's already a post on this, please redirect me.

It's impossible to get the new pet til the world preview event.


wish I had a mini Kanaxai......


and pic of the Gray Giant are all over; not going to bother posting it

._.

panda....

go GO RED ENGINEGO Anet....give us Mini-Pandas

>.<

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.

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.
