Sounds awesome (of course), should be interesting having to use quest specific skills.

As painful as it was to read that poorly written article, my excitement for Nightfall just keeps growing

Finally an article that calls Nightfall as a 'rebuild' of Guild Wars instead of an expansion. Thank goodness someone gives the game the credit it deserves lol.

When things start to go dark in the last places in Nightfall, yeah I can see a drastic and more interesting to the atmosphere. Had a feeling that some places would sport some common art with it predecessors, but it was only the preview. Anyways good find Mr. Deflok.

It seems like Nightfall is gonna have some very entertaining missions. I remember when I first got that Corsair costume during the event, I flipped out.

I'm glad the mission skills are returning as well.

I guess people in the Menhlo hating thread will be happy to know that Koss is your right-hand man instead of a badass who's going to steal all your glory.

Wow, the game sounds really epic so far, I can't wait to play the real version. >.< My grades are going to suffer.

Not a huge fan of having to fit in what amounts to more Celestial skills in multiple missions... Builds are tight, y'know?

Having said that, if used sparingly I guess it could be fun.

I agree. Its always painful just to fit the ressurection signet in and sometimes I don't even have room for that.

I just want to know where they keep getting their information from and why the same information isn't being released to the fan sites?!

Anet probably invited them to play through part of the game so they could write a review.

Which makes no sense to me.

It's a nice looking site but doesn't appear to be very busy.

Interesting comment about GW moving to online single-player game. It makes sense, that having to deal with people you don't want to ruins the game (a la last week's South Park episode), but it's fun to have the option to go the MMO route when you wish.

I'll still PUG sometimes, but it will be nice not to have to wait on morons when I'm trying to keep things moving.

Factions saw a marginal upgrade to the AI of henchmen and Nightfall sees a complete overhaul.
This is the part that I agree with entirely. Just the fact that we can direct henchmen and heroes is a godsend for people who like to do some missions on their own and not rely on pick up groups.

Actually that new picture of the large troll sucked. They really need to retexture it. It's skin lacks large amounts of detail as if the video settings were on low quality and I was amazed that Anet would choose to showcase that picture on there website.

And that place could be the Realm of Torment with the picture of the abyssal.

I'm sure it is. I think shard drops will be part of the last areas, so thats an FoW alternative.
