Sell me on Nightfall.

Alright. None of you would know me, or remember me. I was uh... forcefully removed from my computer screen by my parents a few months ago, got back, couldn't really get back into GW, and stopped posting pretty much alltogether. I caught a 20-minute sneak-peak into Nightfall at my buddy's during the preview event, and was intrigued. I'm considering buying it, but I'm really on the fence because I am wondering if I will still end up just going "uh... right. bye." and dropping the game again.

So what i'm saying/asking is, I still really like the Guild Wars features. The playability, the way it's formatted. I mainly left because of people last time, so I really am not comming on saying "i hate this game, but should i buy it?". Is there anything really redeeming about Nightfall that would compell me to buy it just garunteeing (sp?) that I'd love the gameplay so much to stay on for months?

I'd really like to hear honest, well-placed opinions. Thanks in advance, although I'm feeling like this thread is either going to be a flamefest or a gushing, bubbly "zomg 1337" brigade. If you think you can actually give a pretty good review, please post :-). Thanks.


edited for some truly messed up grammar xD

Ermm just read this forum, everything you want or need to know is posted here somewhere.

I came out of GW retirement to play NightFall so I'm hoping it is worth the £40I paid for it.

I have no idea what most of these are talking about, so I just figured I'd make a post. Thanks for being semi-useless 0.o I'll go try reading them again. would still appreciate something easier to digest for the completely-disconnected, though.

optimistically, you wont need to deal with people by using the Heros. if thats not totally useless for ya

Semi useless?!

Use your brain perhaps? research ftw? GW homesite..

You're Welcome.

Oh no. I said something to offend someone. silly me. You told me to go read. A bunch of topics about random things concerning ingame politics. Sorry if i had to say that it didnt help much because i didnt understand. meh. thats the internet.

I heard a bit about the heroes, horseman. Thanks. i'll go try and find out more about those.

Everything you need to know is posted on Guru or on GW homepage, open your eyes and look.

I can see why you had issues with people...

lern2think, k?

Sorry. been playing a closed beta recently where most people acted like adults. have to adjust myself.

forget this topic, if you're even reading it down to here. I really doubt at this point anyone would care to give me any input, seeing as to how i've apparently offended someone with the tone of a real "member" around here. bah.

LOL!! silly child.

You are posting on the number 1 fansite yet you can't be bothered to look around for info yourself.

I'm not offended just completely awed by your lack of common sense and manners.

GW doesn't want to you back end of story.... www.guildwiki.org FTW

*sigh* and you say you own 3 businesses? meh. fine then. like i said, forget this topic. all it will become eventually is a flamefest.


edit: sektor, that was completely useless and unnecessary. and i spelled "necessary" wrong. and I can't remember how to spell it now.

>.> Wow you guys...
Even if you think its a stupid question/obvious you should at least be polite.
Sidra just wants to know about the community + the features (that he did not mention of nightfall).
Yes there are topics about this and yes he should read them. Perhaps if you kindly redirect Sidra to the right threads?
These types of reply are (personally) immature and poorly reflect the GW community.
I am shocked that such replies came from a well respected community.

@ Sidra:
Even though you have a poor opinion of the GW community please don't give up on GW yet! Its a good game that deserves some reconsideration.

Here is a Nightfall FAQ
http://guildwarsguru.com/forum/showt...php?t=10048038

If you have specific questions I'll try my best to answer them.

As for the community... if you find it to your disliking then switch off the local chat. It helps alot

Just playing the game by yourself (or with guildies) has become more enjoyable now.
-Heroes have been added (controllable henchmen)
-AI updates
-Alliance
-Alliance Battles
-facelifted PvP
-More intriguing PvE and larger map than Nightfall

I suggest you get a trial cd key and test GW:NF out for yourself (once again :P )

Sorry for any spelling mistakes :P playing the game as we speak

EDIT:
This thread needs some

Sadly some people are a bit immature, nevertheless it looks like you've been pointed in the right direction. Depending on when you left, you may enjoy a whole host of new changes besides just what Nightfall has to offer. Guild Wars is constantly changing, so there's usually something new if you look hard enough.

Heroes will bring greatly improved AI assistance that is tweakable and micromanagable and will likely prove much more useful than the average group of miscreants you'll find in your local outpost
