Is Nightfall really worth the money?
dmapes
You guys really think its worth mony.....

Was this thread really necessary? If you like Nightfall then get it. If not, then don't.

Miniflea
Yes. Heros, new professions, mucho new pve content, all worth it.
Franco
Was Guildwars worth your money? Why are you here? Think about that ^^.

It appears that ArenaNet put a lot more into Nightfall than Factions.

If you're interested in the PVE experience, from what the preview event was like I'd venture to say it will be worth it. The PVE experience definately seems like it will be worth the purchase for people who enjoy PVE gameplay. The quests seem plentiful, the heroes are a nice touch, and then there are little things like NPC scouts that give you orders that provide a bonus in expereince and the oppurtunity to earn title points.
On the PVP side of the spectrum, it may be less worth it. Depends on what you think abotu the Paragon and Dervish. Personally, the Paragon is the class that's been waiting for. I always preferred support classes, and I like the idea of toting a ranged spear with a shield and using shouts/chats/echos.
But if neither of those classes appeal to you, you can wait for them to make the Nightfall skills availible for purchase and simply buy that.

I'd pay 50$ just for the heroes... another 20 for the HvH pvp... another 20 for the new professions, and another 20 for the pve content. Hell yeah they all come with the heroes!

I'm gunna buy it. Its more of a question is if its pocket friendly for your situation, had this been a month ago then chances are I wouldn't have bought it. But now I'm making a bit more money than then.

No offense factions was crap.
Nightfalls looks to be on the level with prophecies, no bs, BUY IT.

Even if you're not interested in PvE, it's nice to have the chapter for the elite skills, weapons, and whatnot. They won't make a game that's totally based on PvE. And, however, they do have a new PvP feature with heroes.. which I'm not too familiar with..
People have different opinions, you have to decide if it's worth your money or not.. people can't do that for you.

Nope, just more PvE focused.
As for response to OP, why do you bother asking on a Guild Wars forum... you're bound to get a positive response...
Anyway, I think you should get it because there are some neat features that you will probably want to try. If you don't get it right when it comes out, at least get it a month or few down the road.

Yeah your right, factions was more pvp focused and their alliance battle system was an absolute flop. This would be why everybody was very disappointed with factions.

$60's gonna net me 2 minipets (Varesh and Grey Giant) and some sick dances for my guys, along with some other interesting swag.
I was sold at the Varesh Mini.

my best advise is not to buy nightfall immediately but wait a week or 2, check the threads and peoples reactions, then decide. that is what i intend to do myself after the debacle that was factions.
but then again i might just grab it immediately from the online store
i really can't say ...

I wanna buy it immediatly so I can blitz the story, get to the Elite mission, and head back to Droks to spam "WTS (Insert Elonian elite green here), 100k+100e!!1"

I certainly hope it will top Factions, which already trumped Prophecies.

Liked Prophecies. Loved Factions. Nightfall CE will be delivered to my doorstep whenever it's out.

I have to say, when I witness nightfall, it felt like I got ripped off buying faction.

The Nightfall preview event was very good. 2 CE copies on order...

Nightfall is looking to be better then Factions, and I thought Factions was worth the money.
Lady Lozza
^ lol actually I haven't... I've played so much of both that I think I've more than got my money's worth - and I only play casually. Ok, maybe not that time over my annual leave back in March, but you get the idea...
As for whether NF is worth it, we can't truly answer that yet... I think the overwhelming feeling of this thread is that it WILL be worth it

Loved Prophecies, didn't like Factions too much, loved what I saw of Nightfall up to now so yes I will buy it.
PanGammon
Hell yeah! The heroes are going to be awesome. Also new skills like Destructive Chop and Light of Deliverance are going to be fun!
P.S. The same cannot be said about male paragons...............

Does that mean I should feel ripped off because the computer I bought a year ago is so much better than the one I bought three years ago?

A new campaign, new skills, new classes and a brand new way (Heroes) to replay the 'old' campaigns is definitely worth it for me.
I'm sure there will be little bits that I will consider icing on the cake like the unique factions storage upgrade which I think is downright awesome, if NF does bring salvageable inscriptions for instance I'd consider that on par with the Materials storage option and I honestly hope it will be a unique NF extra.

It will probably be worth (my) money, but it's too early to tell. Factions was a disappointment to me and I don't want to have learned no lesson from that. So I'll wait until the reviews are in before buying Nightfall. I don't obsess over the things that many forumites do, such as salvaging or drop rates or whatever, but from what I've seen and read there will be no serious improvement to PvP in Nightfall. Hero vs. Hero doesn't excite me at all. So I will have to consider carefully whether I want to spend $50 on a PvE game which I expect will pale in comparison to Neverwinter Nights 2. So there's plenty of reason to be cautious.
I am also not going to trust anything I read on forums such as this one. Over the past year I have become severely disillusioned about the opinions of forum posters. Half the posts are inexplicably negative, and the other half are equally bizarrely sycophantic.

I say, don't think about it and go with your instinct. Don't Buy it. Meanwhile, others will be enjoying another creative chapter.

1) The Canthan quests are worth a great deal of experience more than the quests in Prophecies, and thus its easier to earn skill points by playing in Cantha.
2) The Canthan elites.
3) Missions are faster and shorter, and getting a master reward nets you threee skill points, a bunch of experience, and some gold. In Prophecies, the missions tend to be longer, eszpecially certain bonuses, and the final reward is only about 2000 experience.
4) The titles in Cantha are easier to earn than the are in Tyria; there's only 13 missions as opposed to 25 and a lot less land to cover.
5) Access to more varied weapon types (Energy +5 melee weapons for example), different skins, and the Elite missions.
There's more you can consider as well, such as chest running, which seems more prevalent in Cantha because of the Imperial Palace and how relatively small in size it is compared to other high end areas in Prophecies.
As for the Alliance Battles, if we are are referring to Fort Aspenwood and The Jade Mines, and not the Terriotry Battles, then I'd say its been a bit of a flop. I've played the Jade Mines maybe twice since the game was first released. A shame, because I do enjoy the map. Yet there's no incentive for Luxons to play there when they can often get easier faction points at Fort Aspenwood. even when I go to the Luxon side and wait there, there's all of three other people there at any one time, and I often end up back at Fort Aspenwood. Playing the same alliance battle over and over again for faction gets boring after a while. If the Jade Mines had a higher Luxon presence, then the alliance battles wouldn't be so bad. but waiting in the Jade Mines could take a couple of hours before you can play one game. And for a casual player like me, I'm usually out of luck.

Just returned from time traveling and I have to say that Nightfall's mainland has everything wrong. It is worser than Factions!!!
I also finished remote brain scanning and executed my memory images simulation with dmapes preference parameters which clearly showed that dmapes shouldn't buy this game because the simulation had so many negative reactions when Nightfall memory images were running.

For me it's clear which protector title is easier to earn.
Pliskin MacReady
How'd you pull off Dunes of Despair and the Aruora Glade bonuses?
Or Glint at Dragon's Lair?
Or preserving the gaurdians while activating the druids in Bloodstone Fen?
Or the Iron Mines, where the regular henchies aren't infused like the elite henchies (Devona, Aidan, etc.)?
'Cause those are the only missions I'm missing, and its been a while, but last I tired them they didn't go so well with the henchies. But if you know how to complete them with henchies, I'd appreciate the strategy because I want to go back to it eventually.
Irregardless though, I still think Cantha is faster to complete than Tyria. Tyria is time consuming even with henchies (especially with all henchies). And again, the Master rewards for Canthan missions provide better rewards than the bonus completion in Tyrian missions.

You can't judge a game until it's been released. The preview might help you decide whether to buy the game or not, but you won't know it's worth until you actually install and play it.
From what we've seen so far, the developers really seem to have put a lot of time and effort into Nightfall, so I think in the end, it will indeed be worth the price of admission.
