So now that some of us have had the opportunity to play beyond the areas we could access with the WPE, what are your impressions of the new Guild Wars chapter?

Apart from the few bugs I've found that they are working to fix (apparently), like the stacking bug, I am thoroughly enjoying the game. The mission at Consulate Docks was very challenging the first time I went through it, and now that I know to go straight and not turn left and go up the stairs near the end of the mission, I'll be able to get masters in it. By turning left I ended up killing the "trigger" boss before getting the last Field Commander, thus "completing" the mission without the final bonus.

I like the new increased power of the Ele (how could I not?) lol. I don't die nearly as often as I did in Prophecies and Factions, which is a very good thing. Being a primarily PvE playing, I like having so much area to roam around in and things to find. The new titles are also fun to work on as well.

I'm still not sure how to get the Hallowe'en gift from the Mad King, but I imagine that I'll figure it out - hopefully before the end of the event lol.

I haven't played on my previously-created Elonian characters yet, I've just been exploring with my Tyrian ele. I will probably be creating an Elonian elementalist in the next few days just to see how she compares with my Tyrian ele.

I am definitely liking the ability to switch my secondary profession with the new drop-down menu instead of having to go and pay 500g every time I need to switch. Of course I don't have all secondaries unlocked yet, but at least I can change to E/Me when I want to.

I need to go boss hunting, as the first Ele boss I found and killed was using one of the core elites which I got in Tyria. I need to find my new elite skills, darnit....gotta keep that title active, you know http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/style_emoticons//bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> The drops for both items, weapons and gold seems to have improved as well, and salvaging has also improved alot, especially now that we can choose which magic bonus to get out of a drop.

So I think it's safe to say that I am impressed with Nightfall, and that I'm looking forward to battling my way through to the end - just in time for chapter 4 http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' /> /blum.gif">http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/style_emoticons//blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

lol I've seen pretty much the whole map (well almost all the cities anyway) because of press stuff which was not very fun I might add... You didn't exactly have a "central meeting place", you had to ask the people in the first town in nightfall where the press people are meeting and then a guy would transport you to that city. /blum.gif">http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/style_emoticons//blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

What I've seen on the press servers is quite amazing. It adds new challenges and the mission's are quite fun too. I'm loving all the new controls on the compass (which all of you will have now, Nightfall or no Nightfall).

I think this is the best yet for chapters. It's going to take a lot to really please the fans for chapter 4 http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/style_emoticons//smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
