Is nightfall worth $50 or should I stick with factions?
Gabe3
I cant decide if I should buy the game, is it worth it or should I wait and stick with factions?

Nightfall is well worth the money, the CE isnt worth the extra, although the dance is cool still doesnt make it worth the extra cash. I personally think that NF is very close if not better the prophecies, and is 100 times better than Factions.

if you want you could wait until a review From gamespy or gamespot or ign releases a review then decide from there. Or try and talk to friends who have it and get their opinions

Nightfall is 100 times better than factions, which was ridiculous. If you considered factions worth 50 cents, Nightfall is worth $50.

A bit more grind though. Grinding sunspear points, grinding for sapphires, etc. Which is arguably good for pve.

Nightfall is totally worth it.
Nightfall is better than Prophecies and Factions... together.

Yes get NF and evolve with the game. I am on noob Island still and have enjoyed it completely so far. The only bummer is I'm afraid to sell anything yet and dont have any room in storage.

i yet to try the pvp part of nightfall (not sure if there is any new pvp style). But the hero system and the fun of some latter mission where you can sit inside some form of 'transport' to fight is cool. Me still not finish pve yet, btw.
I think 50 is fair for this chapter, not so much for faction though..

As I keep telling to ppl who ask if Nightfall is worth it, I'll ask back if you like PvE. If you think PvE is a very important component, then it's definitely, without a single doubt, worth it. Factions was still pretty ok in the PvP areas but the PvE stuff was generally thought of as pretty bad (although I personally think it was ok).

Whats the top things you guys think nightfall improved on from factions??? Iam sorta new to guildwars, been playing about 5 months. I kinda wished factions had kooler looking landscape, and neat areas to go into, like awesome looking caves and stuff.

When I first started playing guild wars a year and a half ago I never imagined it would turn into anything like it has. I love nightfall.

It's all really buggy right now which is frustrating - BUT once those are fixed this promises to be worth the money it seems. Thus far I am loving it, but the bugs are making it hard to like right now ;_;

Best campaign so far imo, although I really enjoyed Tyria as a newbie at the beginning.

I'd say Nightfall is worth atleast $70; so go ahead and spring for the CE

Nightfall is worth getting, but if money is a problem it's not going to hurt to wait a bit until the price goes down.

Nightfall is definitely worth getting. Factions claims to be a PvP oriented game, but I'd say the PvP improvement (hero battle) in nightfall is much better than AB or aspenwood/jade quarry. Well respected PvP players do things like RA and hero arenas, but they don't really consider AB a form of true PvP...

Definitely worth it, but don't bother with the CE.

If You're going to invest your money in a game, let it be "Nightfall".
The game just keeps getting better.
- The gameplay offers unique possibilities where you have more control over the outcome of any combat situation.
- The graphics are mind-blowing and even more immersing than in the previous chapters.
- The land is vast and the NPC, in it, offer interesting possibilities.
- The music is "blip blip" amazing!
- The new characters are beautiful and powerful.
No words can describe the experience, you have to try it to understand.
So, is it worth it?
"Blip" Yes!
Happy Misery

Other ways it's better than factions:
Heros. Once you've got them, you set their skills, attributes, weapons & even runes on their armor. You can even do the spell casating for them!
Hero/Henchie control. You can set individualt way points for your Heros to stand, or you can set 1 way point for them all (including regular henchies) to stay at while you pull or whatever.
More gradual learning curve. It doesn't have a rush-rush feel to it at all.
Story line. Vastly better than whatever that thing factions had was. With Nightfall, they've made it feel like players are much more involved in the events of the story, they've even included your heroes in on the cut scene dialog!

Nightfall is worth getting... BUT... don't buy it yet.
Wait a bit until the severe bugs are fixed. There are currently a lot of them in the game. Enough to make it downright frustrating sometimes.
"What, i didn't skip the cutscene and now half my team is doomed in a huge room with absolutely nooo way out?"
"Hmmm, shouldn't there be enemies coming by now? Quest says so. Meh, restart quest. Oh, enemies coming. Bugged quests ftw!"
"I wonder why it is impossible to get anymore blessing after Rank 8. The bar COULD keep on going"
etc, etc, etc
It's too buggy at the moment.
Other than that, after Factions it could only get better and it got better. Heroes are nice, though they killed PUGs completely (could be me but all i see is Hero/Hench Team and not even a single human team). Storyline is okay, quests are okay, graphics are okay (though you'll see a LOOOOOT of desert and it gets a bit old after a while).
