For a while now, there has been news trickling down about the next Guild Wars installment. However 1up has reluctantly failed to cover details like the worshiped World Of Warcraft. But anyway, the details behind Chapter 3 are interesting. “An outcast god threatens to spread his evil across the known land.” ITs up to the ascended to put the cap back on the darkness before it rips the known world a new one.
There were a number of screens, info and videos that came from the LGC in Germany. Including new graphics information like the new login screen, new screen effects, better water effects and HDR lighting. In addition to new graphic abilities, there are interface enhancements and the new Heroes System.
Nightfall is also proclaimed by ArenaNet to be more PvE focused gameplay. Several videos online shows off the first dungeon where solving puzzles advances you to the new area. The Heroes System is equally interesting. The system basically is an advanced Henchmen system where you can train and customize your Heroes and take them wherever you go. Heroes can also follow advanced AI commands that you give it, making this a very potentially powerful tool for those who have trouble finding groups for Missions and Quests. Also, there will be arenas where you will be able to pit your Heroes against others Heroes in various battles.
Nightfall also includes two new Professions called the Dervish and Paragon. Both of which are very powerful classes that will make playing the new areas more unpredictable. Nightfall is also rumored to be the last story in the Prophecies story arc. Which means virtually anything is possible in Chapter 4 and a totally new aspect of the world can be transitioned in.
