Nightfall: Contents & Features Detailed

That Paragon dance is Michael Jackson's "Beat It" - watch here

Weird... I just saw a Proph CE over the summer in an EB for $79.99 CND.

Did you play during the PvP-event when it was possible to see some of the new armor sets? Some of those sets are same.

Dunno about Assassin/Ritualist heroes if there will be any at all since there are Canthan specialized profession. It would be weird to have them when thinking PvE and story, but they'd be good PvP-wise.

Since the amount of new skills in Nightfall was increased by 50 makes me assume that there will be 25 skills for A and Rt each, which is as much as the core classes are receiving, I'd think ArenaNet would give same amount of the content in armors too as the core classes are receiving.

I thought it was a flash back to the early 80's... LOL... I love it!

Good ol Michel Jackson Dance for the Paragon!

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't want to waste my money if it was different. I'd love to get a Prophecies CE, but my husband would kick my butt if I paid $120 for it.

Now, here's one doubt I have... will the improved control available to heroes be extended to henchmen? I was thinking it would, but now it sounds like it won't... I don't see why they would not do it (Heroes would still retain the advantage of being customizable), and I really wish they would (I mostly use henchmen myself, whenever guildies are not available... playing with PUGs is a gambit of precious lifetime I don't often like to take)

She looks oddly like a popular female rapper/actor that I know of...

Something that also came up to my mind while reading the description of heroes in gw.com was the fact that this could bring to GW a potential of PC-NPC interaction akin to that in Baldur's Gate or similar games. Which would be a vast improvement and make the single-player aspect of GW that much more interesting...

Man, that video still rocks.

Sigh. I miss my MTV...

THEY PUT "Can't Touch This!" AS A SKILL!!! LOL

That new assassin armor is ugly as hell...

Gamestop swore to me that they would not charge extra. You put $5 down to reserve, but then you get the pre-order for "free" ($5 counts towards retail purchase). They'd better be doing that anyway, since they don't actually order the pre-release until the get X number of reservations...

Nah, it's awesome. The monk however is questionable...

Nothing is more ugly than WoW game's top armors. Seriously yellow without nearly any detail.

Stop! Hammer time!

Pretty sure both of those are warriors, although they're very alike. My problem with the Assassin armor is the claws. They're very out of place, the rest of the armor has no bulk. Then woosh huge claws. Heres my solution.

Excuse the crappy paint job, its just shoulder pads and a Mortal Kombat-ish cloth.

Just saw the Beat It Dance...

Now the Beat It dance is AWESOME, one of the highest ratest dances by me, and that Paragon DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE.

That dance is a FAST DANCE. You just look like a retarded bird if you slow it down like that.

The monk, mesmer and necromancer armor sets look outstanding, imo. the dervish hood looks nifty, too. The ones that doen't look quite so hot to me are the ranger and assassin armor. the other ones are alright.

agreed. it looks kinda clumsy as it is. My sin isn't gonna wear one of those.

The new Ritualist and Assassin armor is awesome.

To all of those people who said there would be NO new features for the SIN and RIT owe the rest of us optimists an apology. A BIG ONE.

"Can't touch this!" (doo-dududun)
Heheheh. The anet people sure did have a lot of fun coming up with names for Paragon shouts. And look! They've managed to fix a balance problem and add comic relief all in one shot! All hail to the a-net.

BTW, signet of illusions sounds pretty nifty, but it'll be hard to find a place in already-crowded mesmer skillbars to use it simply as a complement to inspired/thievery spells. Though it might have its use in directed builds... only time will tell.

and the dervish skills... more power to spinal shivers. Yay, says I!!!
