Do you feel pressure to finish Nightfall quickly?
Kattox1
Since Nightfall is ALOT bigger than Factions as far as I can see it should take me longer to complete it. I'm also aiming to take my time and complete it slower, absorbing of the environment more along the way. I'm not going to rush like a madman.
Lord Sarevok
I didn't "rush" through Factions but I still finished it on a Tyrian character in just over a week. Mostly due to my playing a fair amount. I still finished all the quests etc. It was kind of annoying at times due to the lack of people available for missions. Now with heroes, this will not be a problem perhaps giving people more incentive to get to the end quickly. I sold an exalted aegis for 100k last time around.
I'll probably go through it pretty fast again. My warrior will be arriving immediately and mowing down the opposition. With the addition of a solid hero monk backline this will make life even easier. I'm hoping they ramp up the difficulty to balance that out.

I rushed through Factions with henchmen on all but 3 of the missions and killed Shiro during the preview event. I'm not going to rush it per se - more so I'm just going to keep playing through it and try to enjoy it for what it is. All I want is for it to be a little longer and less grind for the sake of grind that Factions is.
Also, I don't feel pressured to rush through it because I'll probably finish it in 2-3 days if it really is longer and more in-depth. (although it is fun to be the first person in your region to enter a town :3)

Well no matter how fast anyone rushes through all the areas and all the drops and everything you will possibly see has already been seen and tested by someone else before you got there.. (unless you designed it maybe).
So whats the hurry. The game is old enough now thaat seeing a lvl 20 doesn't make people go gaga anymore..
I am quite keen to see just how far the weopons can be customized tho.

Farming = what I do when I run out of game content to play.
Hence, I'm going to put it off for as long as possible lol!

My PvP-ready PvE monk cannot be fully ready (and flexible) for GvG unless I have unlocked all the new skills, so I will need to rush through as much as possible to unlock as many new skills as possible. Couple that with the fact that I don't like PvE much and got bored quickly in the beta event so I have little incentive to stick around longer. I can take my time the second time through as I test out various Paragon builds.
Witchblade
imo, the first ones who ll finish it will also be the first ones getting some cash outta this 
Sir Skullcrasher
I don't think i would. I knew some peoples who could probably beat it within few days. But for me (both Factions and Tyria) I took my time leveling up and doing quests and missions. Not to mention farming around and exploring the land before beating it. It took me around 3 to 4 months to finally got around beating Shiro.
lyra_song
I feel pressure, since im the guild leader.
I want to be the one to help my guild mates and answer their questions.
I dont wanna be saying "I dunno, i didnt get there yet"

Yes and no
No because I plan on enjoying it and just playing when I can, well, and that I'm busy for the whole of release weekend, yes because I left factions a long time and there is noone in any of the missions, its making it impossible to do the later missions so I wish I'd got to them earlier.

ValaOfTheFens
If I were trying to write a bunch of FAQs I would.
But alas I suck at GW and it will take me some time to finish Prophesies and Factions.
Every time I think there aren't any more quests I find some new area and get like 5 new quests. One of these days I'll actually have to complete the Jungle missions. That day hasn't yet come though. The Shiverpeaks are calling me and Elonia's allure is a pale thing now.

nope, ill play the missions when i feel like it. hell it took me months to kill shiro

I'll take it slow. Very slow. Can't think of any reason to speed through it. Nothing at the end except the end and getting there is all the fun.
Solar_Takfar
I'll just play it as I played the other chapters... doing all quests, exploring around... how much it'll take me to finish is largely dependant on how much time I have to play, how hard the game grabs me, and, of course, how large the game is.
With that said, I'll probably leave my tyrian and canthan characters on standby until I finish NF for the first time.

Maxiemonster
No, not at all even. I'm planning on getting Master's at everyone mission on my first try, and I'm also thinking of exploring all the places I can currently visit by doing quests there. This way I just go through the game doing three titles (Sunspear, Protector, Cartographer), which I want to get eventually anyway. Unless the places I am start to bore me of course, but I doubt it will, as Nightfall looks even better then the last two!
Shadowspawn X
My ranger will land in Elona on Friday night, doing every mission and quest along the way. Capping and wall hugging as well. I would like to speed though the storyline, but I will read everything and try to leave no stone unturned as I hurry though.
Kern Wolf
I hated that stupid clock on the Factions missions; I plan to take my time in Nightfall...
Hippster
Well....
everyone will want the next best items but...
a. People will not have enough money (some people need to take financial skills)
b. Or, simply farm it, soon word will spread and cost WILL GO DOWN,and quickly too.
As far as going quickly through the game, for the first time , I'm GLAD that im not spending money on Nightfall right when it gets out, although I may not get an item that'd be "the next best item" anyways. I'm waiting, I won't even know what hit me.

badseed
No I will take my time. I have 5 toons to get through the game, not sure which will go first. Prob war or ele.
As far as trying to get gold I have over 600k now, nothing really to buy. I have the items, weapons and skins, armor and mini pets I like. And getting some great weapon, really wont see much more than the overpriced stuff for sale now. Since most will wait, I will just farm any skins I like.
Anyways I always found when I am broke or little money, those big items dont come. But when I have enough and nothing to buy here come the req 8 15^50 or +5 energy items.
I am looking forward to seeing the new armor. I like Factions canthan armor for most. Might get a few new sets of 15k for my toons.

im just trying to finish up the missions on kurzick side, getting my 10k kurzick faction from aspenwood.
i feel if i dont ill never do it (youve seen how empty the hatchery mission is)
and if the eternal grove is the same, once nightfall comes i bet it would almost be impossible.
so yes, i do feel pressured.

I'm surprised at the response here. I'll be sure to post screnshots of a dead Abaddon.
I'm still refining my potential Hero build. I've almost have it perfected. I'll post it upon NF release so we can all revel in my genius and egotism.
KurtTheBehemoth
I am happy to see so many ppl will be taking their time. I will be rushing through to the end as quickly as possible so as to learn as much as I can in a short time. Knowledge is power. My 55 monk is also my healer, so as soon as I get to new areas I can test them for their farmibilty. I have 4 accounts and can never have too much gold.
I rushed through Factions and had a lot of fun beating it in 2 days. I haven't really returned to it because the game is subpar in my view as a pve'er. Guildwars will never feel like it did when I first started, but that doesn't mean I don't have fun. I just find 55 monking more fun than grinding to get there.
Also, there is no feeling like getting to the last levels and being the only one there during prime playing hours. It makes me feel so 1337.
So for all of you taking your time, kudos, it just makes my gameplay that much better.

No. Im going to play though it much more slowely than Prophercies and Factions.
1)the story is much better.
2)the setting is much more interesting and uniqe and fresh than the Tyrian and Canthan one that has already been done to death in other games.
3)quests are much better.
4)quest rewards seem to be better as well, so it should be worth it.
I will start my taking my tyrian warrior through nightfall and see how it goes from there.

I can't decide between rushing through it with my necro or making a new mesmer and playing that first...

say bye bye to 100k+XX ectos if you are able to make your own req8 +30-5 'gloom shield' in elona by adding inherent mods.

Once you get enough and will not have to worry, really pushing forward to make a ton more is pointless, unless they are selling the gold online.
gamecube187
Yes and no.
I'm really tired of usually having less than 10k in my storage and on all my characters combined. I'm also tired of doing farming runs and getting 1-2k per run from it and usually not doing more than 1 farming run a week just because farming (IMO) is boring grind, which is supposed to be what GW doesn't have. Because of that, I really want to rush through the game, find some item that is max damage and has an awsome skin, and then sell it for a ton of money in a early part of the game.
On the other hand, if I do that, then I know that I will probably not like Nightfall, just like a lot of the Factions haters that rushed through Factions the first weekend they had it and then said it sucked because of that. I'm not going to rush just because if I don't like the game, what is the point of having money?
If only there were no stupid E-bayers. Then not much would get nerfed and then farming would get you more money. Then I wouldn't sort of want to rush through Nightfall....
PS, I'm not trying to flame factions, or anyone that doesnt like factions. I accually like factions more than Prophecies, and GW is probably one of my favorite games ever. It's just that there are a lot of people that rushed through factions, and every one of them (as far as I know) hates Factions.

KamikazeChicken
Pressure? Not really, but I already know I'll finish the game asap. I unlocked every regular skill in Factions (took like a week b/c it was so damned boring), before playing through the actual storyline. This time I'm planning on playing through the storyline, before unlocking every regular skill.
Factions taught me that most people are extremely slow at achieving UAX, so I won't feel bad putting it off a week or two.

Thallandor
You will only feel pressured to finish the game quickly inorder to have characters have access to profitable areas to farm greens/new skins to try to make some profit before their prices fall into affortable range when over farming kicks in.
Any normal player in this case do not feel the need to do so. In fact those who have no interest in farming and paying high amounts of gold for over priced greens should take their time to play and enjoy the game and get them when they are dirt cheap if you really like the skin/stats.
The rich can pay whatever they want in the beginning for something that will become 10-20k in a few months or until the sellers got tired of spamming their wares for 100k+XXe. (i am not anti-power trading, i do it also being a farmer myself)
If we have not learned anything from the past year and a half or six months for those who just joined us through factions, we know this principle well enough.

boxterduke
I blew thru factions with my 5 characters so fast that I'm actually really bored the last couple of weeks now with nothing to do.
The only thing I'm doing now is Glint and SF missions with my Rit since I've done everything else.
So I'm taking my time this round.

Either way, one should not diss the other because it is all just a matter of priorities - do you want to enjoy the game by rushing through it or by taking your time...
Personally, I'll rush through it for once as I won't be attending HA as soon as NF comes out, which is what I did with Factions (I'll have r12 by Friday
). I want at least 1 character to be at the end and done with it (probably my monk), then I'll start a Paragon and take it slowly.
Jade
Lol, I'm still not finished Factions. I keep getting side tracked. But I have been very tempted to get my Monk through Factions b4 Nightfall comes out. The ONLY reason for this though is so that I can find a sweet place to farm something nice and expensive so that I can get some of that fat cash. By fat cash I mean fleecing all those ebay gold buyers out of thier "hard earned" gold.
Desires
Tear through the game mass farm greens then either play through again read the story ect or work on the new title effects.
yasmina
I will probably lvl any new charcters to 20 this weekend not because it is a race but mainly because i wont have time like other people to do it later. Then I will mainly explore the terrain after collecting my elite skills and weapons, upgrade my gear on a few of my other characters and then take them over to factions and prophecies as you know they will need those areas also. This will take me a few months to do on my side time.
