All right, public domain on the US gov trademark and patent website: Guild Wars NightFall. Chapter 3?? Only other ones registered are Guild Wars and Guild Wars Factions. (No I am not a sleuth and found this on my own, a user sent it in to me). Interesting name, just wanted to share it all with you

Interesting, yes..

Of course when I saw the title of this thread, I was thinking Real-time Weather/Night + day.

As yes, since it is based on african cultures I guess it makes sense too.

Nightfall indeed, shroud of darkness!

might be an elven story.
Gaile said before about a 'fountain'. It could be anything, but theoretically, using the 'fountain' as a clue, we all know the Elven race are into beautiful architecture related to nature and all that. A 'beautiful fountain' could be the clue.

But of course more likely, it won't be playable just like the Dwarves

Just a theory of course.

Hasn't Anet always said that they will NEVER do Elves, as long as they live? Or did I just make that up?

I belive the 3rd Guild Wars chapter is Guild Wars: Dungeons and Miners, or something like that, it appeared on Guildwiki a while ago, so I cannot remember the correct name, but it was something like that.

Guild Wars: Nightfall, eh? Well, the name fits nicely but I cannot see a connection as yet.

One of the things I'm surprised about is that, unlike in Tyria for Cantha, there is no link anywhere to whatever/wherever this North African continent is. Maybe they will add something in updates closer to the release.

It would suck if you ruined anets element of surprise and they have to think of a new title.

I remember reading that not all new expansions will include new professions, so the number of skills doesnt inflate too badly. However, as metioned in the article there WILL be 2 new professions in Chap 3...was very excited to hear this as i thought anet would make every other expansion include new classes.....GJ ANET

I can't make a connection between "Nightfall" and a North African theme. Of course, it's probably based on the story and not the setting.

well we, as human (at least, those of us the rest of the population call humans, and people like me, that get caled *almost* lol ) beings will always make little leaps of thought and brain...

i mean, we knew the name was goign to be factions, right, but untill they anounced it, did we know it was going to have a china type feel?

nightfall can be as ambiguous or as significant as you want...
so t means that when Night Falls, things get harder...
it means when the darktime approches, the Nightfall of the Gods is at hand...
or that the new continent is on the nightfall edge of the ap, so more areas are in darkness for longer times (ie, like greenland and antarctica)

and or all of the above *might* be what they mean...
but untill they actually come right out and *say* what the next chapter is going to be, theres no way of knowing wheter or not they simply wanted to get the name to belong to them *Right Now* rather than have to fight for it later....

*so, it might be Guildwars chapter 6 Nightfall rather than chap3 you know*

PvE characters start at level 20 with 30 random skills for each profession, all bags and 10k gold.
The "pre-sear" area is merely a farmyard of low level bosses that drop the green weapons you are likely to use for the rest of the game.
There are only 4 co-op missions but they are at the end of an instance so it's a 1 hour 30 minute fight just to start them.
Oh and the elite area is only available to the first person to finish the chapter and the top 2 people on his friends list.

If they have to link this new chapter with the previous twos.....I can think of only one nation right now....

The Elonians.

They failed to ascend. They trade with Canthans (from the Elonion Mirror quest). And they build stone-building in Crystal Desert.

What do you guys think?

I'd say the Margonites were more likely. They were the ones with ships, after all. Although they also all died trying to Ascend, before the Elonians did.

There is a very tentative connection.

If you've ever spent any time in Africa, doing the whole safari thing you'll know just how fast night falls! One minute you're watching a beautiful blood red sunset and then before you know it it's totally pitch black, and I mean really pitch black. It's like someone just flicked a switch and turned off everything but the stars.

Maybe this chapter situates little bit south-east of Crystal Desert. Hmm, I wonder if there's little hints about C3 in Factions. There was quite obvious hints in Prophecies about Factions.

Let me guess the storyline.

Some dead, or rather undead, evil has conquered the land and put it into eternal night, and we, as the only heroes on the flipping planet, must travel to the continent and save it from the eternal dark by revanquishing the evil, again.

Nice. African themed games are hard to come by...as far as I know. I'm liking this Muslim/minaret thing.

hehehe...
the only heroes in the planet where GW is set in that's true.
We are now heroes of Tyria.
Heroes of Cantha
now going to be heroes of a new continent

What's more?
We are also the heroes of the Mists!! Where all worlds meet!

hmm wait, speaking of the mists, "where all worlds meet", I sense a future campaign wherein we will have access to other planets/worlds/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

My bet actually. Eternal night and we've got to bring dawn to the land once more. Cliched, but given the Factions and Prophecies storylines, this would be pretty much what I would expect.

I'm liking the name and the theme. The desert in Prophecies is still my favourite area in the game. The statues and stuff were so cool.

If there is a trademark and web site domain via NCSoft, Unless there doing a Nintendo Revolution > Wii switch / ruse..
