Guild Wars Press Release has details on the next chapter in Guild Wars,
which will go by the recently revealed title Nightfall (story).
Here's word on the add-on, and plans for a PvP event at the end of this month:
July 18, 2006 (BELLEVUE, WA) — ArenaNet®, developer of the world's leading subscription-free online roleplaying games Guild Wars® and Guild Wars FactionsTM, and NCsoft® Corporation, the world's leading developer and publisher of online computer games, announce today the title of the next game in the award-winning franchise, Guild Wars NightfallTM. Further, Guild Wars Nightfall has entered the beta testing stage and Guild Wars players worldwide are invited to participate in an exclusive, first-look player-versus-player (PVP) event, July 28 — 30, 2006.
During the PVP Preview Event, both Guild Wars and Guild Wars Factions® players will get a first look at Guild Wars Nightfall, and will be able to try out the two new professions being introduced in the game; the Dervish, a scythe-wielding holy warrior, and the Paragon, guardian angel of the Elonian people. In addition to testing out the new professions and arenas, players will also be able to compete for items that will be exchangeable for a variety of rewards throughout the weekend event.
The Guild Wars Nightfall PVP Preview event will kick off on Friday, July 28 at 12:01am PDT and will continue through Sunday, July 30 at 11:59pm PST.
So true. Especially the teambuilding thing. Not just that, but there should be some kind of teambuilding interface for the people in your group: a popup csreen which lists the players !with the powers they have equiped! and a chat interface so you can quickly get your group set up with some good complementary powers, instead of asking 'hey, you got [skill x]?'.
As for the expnsion...nope, didn't grab me. A Middle eastern setting....meh. Although if they implement massive pve + exploration, you might find cool ruins, and quests relating to those found locations...but GW was never really about that much, which is a shame. But it does seem they've focussed on pvp in this expansion...again, just like the last one. No new races (it would be cool to play a beast race...would be cool for pvp /and/ pve), no interesting realy new environment...just a middle eastern derivative. Hell, why not try an african setting? Some cool, primeviel setting...aboriginee would be cool also, with the whole Dreaming setting. Oh well.
