Heh...I can't yet. I'm stuck at work for a while yet, but soon...soon...
I really cant tell if you guys are being sarcastic about this or not :P

Nope, no sarcasm. :) Well, other than my post with those two reviews that read more like a spam email than a review, I've been completely serious.
Ah yeah, was referring to that one post, because I have the prophecies GW but never picked up factions and if NF is any good I might get it, but those reviews made me laugh.

Yeah...pretty terrible. :)
Factions was okay, but I stopped playing before getting too far because it just kind of got boring and it was WAY too easy to level up. I decided that I didn't like my original Assassin/Elementalist so I decided to make an Assassin/Monk. My A/E was at level 11 and within 2 hours, I had my A/M to level 9.
That's just not right. Especially when the level cap is only 20. :(
I hope Nightfalls has a better story and better balancing. The more I think about it and look at screenshots, the more excited I am about this game and more sure I am that I'll be picking it up tonight after work. I hope Best Buy has the CE in stock. :D
Nightfalls is great. The ability to control your henchmen instead of having them run head first into the first group of enemies they see is awesome. Now you can actually pull groups of enemies or setup ambushes while soloing. You also now have hero buddies that are with you all the time. You can deck them out with armor/weapon/rune upgrades and setup their skill sets as you see fit. These are all really nice features.

lol i had the same doubts before i brought Nightfall..
its still only 20 lvls and easy to get there fast, but i think the fun begins after lvl 20 and as i read you still can gain skill points after lvl 20 and mnay more quests to complete even after lvl 20..
and the Game graphics is AMAZING!..
i'm hooked only been playing about 6 hours, not straight :D

So soloing is actually feasible now?

For the most part... there has been one mission where I felt other actual players were needed... but I am sure you could hench/hero that also.
Also... the wurm riding mission/quests are freaking fun as crap.

Hmm....well...maybe I'll pick this up tomorrow then if NWN2 isn't back in stock...

Well...Best Buy had NWN2 back in stock, so I went with that instead. I guess GW is going ot have to wait a bit...hopefully they have it on sale soon, down to maybe $40 or something, and I'll snag it then.

i really would like to play this game, but i dont go for PvP.. i just like grouping and questing against hard foes like in WoW.
i dont think it would sustain me, would it?

Sure...there are tons of quests in the PvE side of the game, but you're capped at level 20, and in the case of Factions, that comes pretty damned quick.
The games are fun, but if you're looking for a Diablo-like experience (crazy weapons and armor), you're going to be disappointed.

yeah, i figured that. shame, i really like the art style. it has a nice mix of different influences, and i like the way combat looks.
we need more actionMMO's, where you are rewarded for player skill in combat, and less on who has teh axe of firey death+22 (although they are cool too)

that's exactly what this game is.

yeah, but without boss battles and raid groups :(
im crossing my fingers for AION.

There are lots of boss battles in GW, especially in Nightfall. And there are areas which are similar to the raid dungeons in WoW. The elite missions in Factions are extremely long dungeons which you try to complete with a team larger than usual (12 players that is... not much compared to WoW's 40 player dungeons, but these elite missions feels pretty chaotic as well). Personally I'm not fond of those dungeons since they take literally hours to complete.
If you're looking for a MMO which is based on skill (and not about being a higher level than everybody else or having that uber +45 Axe of Doom) this is the ONLY MMO you'll ever find which is like that.
There's lots of talk about GW being purely about PvP and that's just a big lie. There's far more PvE content than PvP content. It's just that the game excels at PvP compared to all other MMOs. But it has a ton of fun pve content as well (which is especially true now as Nightfall is released)

shame there isnt a demo available, id like to try it out now. and im not knocking uber_of_death+45, i love getting loot.., and working hard for it :) but as im good with beat-em-ups i love being able to use your actual gamer skill to beat others rather than using your entire life to get items. if you know what i mean ;)

There are 14-day trial keys in the collector's edition of Factions and Nightfall...maybe someone here could hook you up.

Sadly, I don't have the CE of Factions and I'm still on the fence for buying the CE of Nightfall, but if I do in the next couple of days and you still haven't gotten a trial key, I'll send you a PM. :)
