Looks like the Master of Whispers is a necromancer, from what he was casting. Also looks like the skill icon will pop up next to the damage number, if you take damage from a skill. Liked the music too.

Hmm the damage numbers that pop over your head seem bigger, more cartoonish. I like it, just like the skill icon next to it.

It was a nice introduction of the Heroes and yeah, the music was pretty good. Had almost a rock feel to it.

/wowee.

>the music was really great. complemented the type of video this was.
>the "howler" /waggingtailbone b4 the music started.

thumbs up>I really like the teasers at the start w/ intro to Koss. (his armor upgraded and those "Aliens the movie" ---one at the back reminded me of the "Alien Queen" just needs a x5 w/ the size.
+the dervish boss w/ the glowy (ethereal) parts...that is something to look forward to w/ nf bosses...hope there will be alot of them w/ the similar effects.

thumbs down>the only small downer: they didnt want to reveal anything mildly special about "Zhed" the centaur, just that he was a centaur /gallop.

/overall. short. "wicked" trailer. "wicked" way they did it too on the intros.

/g'day.

adedd: Where's the Factions' hero...the 'Sin hero" wasnt included?? /hmm.

The creatures for Nightfall appeared far more intimidating then much else I’ve seen in GW. Especially that Cthuulian tentacle thing Koss was fighting.

I agree. The enemies in Nightfall look crazy compared to anything in Prophecies/Factions.

The sin hero died before the trailer came out

Unfortunately he thought he could take on a lvl 2 juvenile termite. Unfortunately he got owned.

Yeah it was cool... the skill icon that causes dmg popping up will take some getting used to... especially if you're taking a lot of dmg from a lot of different sources... Oh well, have to be able to take some change if you want to play this game.

Otherwise it's cool... I also agree the enemies look big and bad (in a good way.)

Notice how the first city that was shown changed from bright and wealthy to dark and over run? Looks like either some places will change depending on where you are in the game, or that was the same city but not in the same place, if that makes any sense.

I didn't see this skill icon everyone is refering to, can someone point me to a specific time in the video where I should be looking?


Overall, I liked the video. Its has just got my anticipation up even more.

Well, it's no different from having it pop up the name of the attack as it does now. It takes less space and for some of the visually inclined they will recognize the attack faster.

One thing I don't get is the inclusion of another necro hero. Does this suggest that we could have TWO MMs in a mission group 0_0

I guess it would take a lot of micro, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out!

Aren't you limited to 4 heroes in a single group? Or does my day keep getting better and better? Or better yet, if you've capped FoC, you could have an SS, FoC/Suffering necro, MM. /starts buying all the green necro weapons he needs

It's ina few places once you notice it but I first noticed it @ 1:37 when the ranger is in side view, you can see 2 skill icons above her head for the dmg she's taking.

As for the vid, yeah, it looks sweet. Really looking forward to friday.

I think the skill icon appearing is an option, as when Melonni was fighting the words Magehunter Strike came up.

3 heroes to a person. So if you have 2 human players, both can bring 3 heroes for a total of 8.


Sidenote:

The updated damage numbers looks nice. They were gigantic in the earlier movies. But its smaller and seems to scale with distance now.

I hope the big numbers above the heads and the skill icons above the head isn't for real. I hope I'll be able to keep the old style.

Video was meh, IMO. The music seems really out of place (sounds like it should be in a modern Vampire game) and the video doesn't show much new stuff. I do like the option (it must be an option because it's shown on and off in the video) to put skill icons next to damage indicators instead of the name of the skill. I really hate seeing a long string of text above my character's head when something hits me with dual shotted ignited arrows (Avicara Fierce anyone?).

Here's a screen cap of the skill icons I'm talking about.

i liked the fact that we see Koss's second set of armor (heros get 3 unlockable armors each is what i understand)

and how does using necro skills make the Master of Whipsers a Necromancer? He looks like togo to me... different 'skin' but essentially the same model

Especially being paired in the one shot WITH the necromancer Hero, I seriously doubt Whispers is a Necro... Who knows.

The preview/article i saw said MoW was the one to be afraid of so maybe he will be whatever primary class you want?

Agreed; especially when compared with the last Factions trailer (which was possibly the greatest video game trail of all time). I could never understand why the didn't use the factions trailer when you started a new character in Factions.

However, I've noticed that the quality of a movie/game trailer is usually inversely proportionate to the quality of the game/movie itself. So this may be a good thing.

It shows some of the new items brought with the game: margonite mask,goldleaf defender, roaring ether claw, darkwing staff. Also, im thinking that winged thing at the end must be the new evil god creating the darkness.

Nope, not at all.

If you watch the trailer from the beginning, you will see someone using a spell on a stone head and the 6 eyes begin to glow bright purple. That was a statue of the god.

Thought the music was awesome. Hope the rest of the Nightfall soundtrack follows suit.

what i was really hoping for was the CG movie... and the people who got their boxes already said there is not a CG movie on the disc itself.

What gives? I hate to sound like a complainer, but the chp1 and chp2 movies were so good I really would like another

Master of Whispers was using a skin of a Necro in the way it's animated. You see him activating a skill the way necros do hench the reason someone said he looks to be a necro.

Olias the nec featured in the teaser isn't featured in the ending group shot or the Heroes page on the Guild Wars Main page so I don't know if he will be a hero or not.
