With the coming of Factions, a lot of flame-threads were created. Sadly enough people did not recognize the hard work the developers put into it. They should realize it is not realistic to demand them to satisfy everyone at the same time.

That is why I have created this thread, to say thanks to the developers of Nightfall. In stead of a flame thread, this game really deserves a big commendation.

Though there were ofcourse some (very few) things I would not have liked to see, I will not concentrate hate on that. In stead I will enjoy every second of this great game and the fun new stuff they have offered us.

If you agree with me on this, please leave a message. Please do not start to rant here on all things that are wrong. For that purpose, create a new thread.

Nightfall is for PvE, what Factions was, for PvP. In that respect, ArenaNet have done a stellar job, so thank you, very much, for giving us a third campaign that lives up to the previous 2.

/wholeheartedly agree

Seriously, all the whiners and complainer are acting like nothing more than spoiled brats. I haven't come up with one legitimate complaint with NF since it came out. The only complaint I had was the materials storage with my prophecies characters, and they got that fixed very quickly. Geez, I've seen nothing but improvements and people still wanna act like they wasted their money. Guess they want to get a free game AND play for free. Hey, Runescape is still free...

Absolutely agree 100%!

I am enjoying Nightfall in the same way that I enjoyed Prophecy for the first time. I never did get that sense of awe in Nightfall.

The maps are huge again, the scenery absolutely stunning, the heros are a great addition and make the game so much more involved, and the quests and missions seem nicely balanced.

I bought the Collectors Edition and personally I think it is a very nicely done and extremely classy package too.

It's about time ANet got praise for their (maniacal?) efforts, after all the morons screaming at them at the slightest things.

ArenaNet, I /salute you for the classic job you've done with GW

Nightfall is *really* outstanding, but can I add a cheer for Factions too? I loved it and I'm only a PvE'r. Sorry if this now becomes a flame thread.

In my opinion Nightfall is the best chapter of Guild Wars.
The story is better and funnier than in 2 earlier chapters, heroes and other characters have great personalities, there are more interresting and beautiful places to explore and mysteries to solve. New funny and freaky armors bring some nice change and the new way to upgrade armors is great.
I'm really enjoying playing the game, for me it's like reading a really good book.
Only little bit annoying part in this chapter is grinding the sunspear promotion points, but on the other hand it is rather good thing that it's there. Players take it a bit more slowly in that point and can enjoy the first trip through Elona little bit longer.

Thank you for this new delicious chapter and keep up the good work

I'm die hard PvP player, but I'm actually having fun with PvE in Nightfall. It's bloody miracle that the game shipped with so much content just six months after Factions, and shipped right alongside a major event (Halloween) plus the continuing GvG tourney, the various improvements to PvP and character UI (templates, PvP equipment manager, etc).

There are some rough spots, and things that I think need improvement....for example, the fact that HvH doesn't have a ladder is crime; reconnects, etc. But all and all I am extremely pleased with Nightfall, and the updates that shipped alongside Nightfall.

Certainly, this is the best chapter of Guild Wars, and it'll be sad if the MMO (ie WoW players) public doesn't learn of this in time for the holiday season.

Thanks Anet. I love you guys. NF is a terrific game, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

(the only issue I've had this far is getting stuck on NPCs, especially in Lahtenda bog: you guys need to fix that!!!)

This game in pve aspect far excels compared to other games I have played. We can all whine about similarities like 'fed-ex quests' and 'grinning for exp/sunspear points' but it aint bad after you have done em and compare to neverending grinning of other games.

What drives is the storyline and most importantly, MASSIVE improvements over previous chapters that allows players enjoy the same old game even more!

Thanks for listening and creating a game for the players and making it better everyday!

I've submitted a sparkling review of nightfall to Gamefaqs, and that was with me trying to nitpick, but I couldn't complain.

Hip Hip Hooray! I love NIGHTFALL!!!!!

Im in love with the fact that you are now required to do quests to get sunspear points much faster. I never really used to quest because I saw it as pointless and now that I have to it is actually pretty fun, thank you for opening my eyes to something new

This is superb! Beautiful, detailed, love it best of all there are genuine laugh out loud moments & not just because of crummy dialogue ^^ then again the "play" re-inactment of prophecies WAS funny because of crummy dialogue
Think Anet have been playing Final Fantasy series or summat for a bit of inspiration. Gratz n GJ

A cheer from me also. Nightfall is without doubt far better than Factions, and as good as, if not better than the original. One things for sure, it's the best looking by far.

As a fellow industry proffesional, I congratulate you guys on this fantastic piece of work. The art is nothing short of amazing...

No, contrary to popular opinion, BOTH sides of the divide hated factions. Nightfall has *good* pve AND pvp (so far at least)

I agree - Nightfall has made my year.

After my personal big disapointment with Factions, playing Nightfall is like playing Prophecies again - full of fantastic new things that make you really want to play that extra hour or so after you ought to be in bed.

Having said that I realise the amazing effort that went into Factions. As I say its a personal taste thing and kudos to Anet for trying something different.

I'm enjoying NF a whole lot and I'm acually happy about the fact that I've only just now reached the mainland and that I have almost no idea what I have to expect. So much left to enjoy! Ty ANet

Btw, I love all that new stuff that has been added, as GranDeWun said, it's like a whole new game!
