If I had to choose on what I've seen so far, I'd take prophecies. I don't like this locked door rumor buzzing all over the place. Forced farming to advance quests can be annoying as well. More content in the first too.
Agreed. Its way too early to say having only seen newbie island, which in and of itself says nothing about the main continent and its style or its missions. The new henchman AI as i understand it is across all chapters and not specific to Nightfall. Some parts of it are good and some aspects are still buggy. Same for the new skill interface. Bit of a wait and see on those. Heroes are an interesting Nightfall addition but for me not enough to make or break Nightfall or to make it better than Prophecies.

It all comes down to progression and the actual content. Will there be locked doors? Is the prgression linear? Will mobs be tightly packed everywhere? Will there be any areas to run around and explore? Any areas farmable? What kind of variations in the environment? These are the things I am more interested in.

So far, I would also pick Prophecies over Nightfall also because how open exploration in Prophecies was. I'm also waiting to see how progression in Nightfall is handled.

Its the beta weekend, who said they have to show all their work in it. I mean we only get two skins for our armors. I wouldn't count Anet out just yet I have hope that we will get some others.

PS: To the rest of the thread stop calling it Newb,n00b, and nub island. It has a name you know, this isn't factions so please stop reminding me of it. Istannnnnnnnn. :[

Keep in mind, we assumed that there would be mroe face selection for Factions as well. The Beta event's selection was pretty much what we ended up getting, however.

So it's fair to complain (or at least show some concern) that this game doesn't have the customization that GWP did.
