Nightfall opinions

[Trip]

So what do you guys think about the new content?

I for one really like the new Hero concept. I was practically clearing the new area's with my monk, 2 barragers and a MM

Yes, I think Nightfall is great. It has a lot more solid feel than Factions, not that Factions was bad. The heroes are fun.

I think its awesome, and the halloween setting is cool

 

[Trip]

haven't tried to get any halloween items yet. been too busy with the new areas how do you get those halloween costumes?

 

[3Y3W17N355]

Which halloween costumes? You mean the one where its like a orange yellow spikey thing?

 

[Trip]

ye, those orange/yellow spikey things.

You can trade 3 iboga roots for a transmorgrifer potion at one of those undead horsemen, I'll log on and have a look which one it was.

EDIT: It's one of the two horsemen in sunspear great hall.

I love the new hero thing. The only thing that kinda irritated me was that I loaded up Koss with a Sskai sword and a sunreach shield Then he left the party! Hopefully I will access to him later on to get it back.

NF is pretty cool so far.

But i hate the updated AI that came with it. Chasing enemies half across a map is not my idea of fun and just prolongs battles.

anyone else notice something wierd with Necro fiends? sometimes they would just stand and not attack... then once you've killed the mob yourself, they suddenly start doing what they supposed to again..

dont worry, you have to rescue him later on. Your items are still safe

Yes, there seems to be a small bug with them that they sometimes take a nap in the middle of a battle.

Nightfall is

Noticed the strange behaviour of the minions on only my Flesh Golem. All the rest keeps following, but he just stands way back and eventually when he is close to dying, he comes romping along... when fiends took care of business, just to die a few feet away

NF kicks ass.
Adding heroes was a smart move by ArenaNet - since essentially they have created a whole new class of money sink (since you not only want to get the best stuff for yourself, but you also want your heroes to have kickass gear).

Coming from Prophecies, I like the new materials storage option and I also dig being able to use some of my Prophecies green collection in NF.

Obviously inscriptions means that I'll eventually end up using all NF greens, but I haven't progressed far enough yet for green drops

Oh, and the Master level quests are a nice addition to a PvE player like myself.

I like but I think I am one of the few who does not like the hero's. I like the team but missions and quests at the moment are few and far between. I think it may be better than factions, no wait, I think I prefer it to Factions.

 

[lilDeath]

Great!
Of course the scenery and stuff is stunning, as always!!
music too!!!
Couldn't get the collector's music hooked up ingame yet... seems to be a known problem.

NF has the best of all GW gameplay but the damn updates to solo farming and 55hp farming has been nerfed.

I still don't understand the concenpt of gaining rank in the sunspear sociaty...

whats' teh point of attaining skills for the different heros? Do those gained skills add towards your character skills?

 

[lilDeath]

Don't understand the question....

Are you asking what is the benefit of reaching higher ranks in the Sunspear title, i.e. Commander, General, etc.?

Certain missions and areas are unlocked as your title becomes higher.

 

[dakeyras]

For pure eyecandy I think Factions win it hands down. Nightfall simply does not compare on scenery. The gameplay is so much better in Nightfall however. I love the hero system. I hate the fact that farming took a huge nerf, but I love the way it changed the hero behaviour.

 

[lilDeath]

Hero system rocks pants!!!

Completed Thannakai with Master's last night with 4 heroes, 3 players and 1 hench
