I have just recently begun playing mmorpg's and this one is very easy to use. I like the fact that if you have other Guild Wars games this one interacts with them as well. I really love the free online play.

Guildwars Nightfall collectors edition - worth the money?

The collector's edition is great in that it includes a minipet. I'm not sure that it is worth the extra cost but, other players are envious of my little Varesh... The included map makes it easier to figure out where you are and how much of the continent you have explored. Whether it is worth the extra cost is really up to your budget restraints. ...in my opinion, Nightfall is the easiest character startup for noobs and Prophecies is the most complete in terms of quests and individual growth and Factions makes a nice add-on to the set. Be sure to buy at least one of the game of the year editions in order to get the superior starting set of weapons.

Best part of the Guild Wars world

Nightfall takes place in the land of Elonia, the starting area of which is a large island. The story follows a group of people that are concerned with their leader's involvement with demons and what that alliance could mean for their land.

In Guild Wars, players have can use eight skills from a pool of several hundred possible skills. Skills can only be changed in towns, where other players meet and accept quests. Each character has a primary and secondary occupation or class. Each class has a set of skills. With the ability to pick skills from two classes, Guild Wars offers an endless array of skills to each player.

Nightfall adds the ability to control up to three AI Heroes per player, out of a total of 15 heroes. The player is able to customize each hero's skills, skill points, 2 distinct sets of armor, dye that armor and give each hero weapons which can be customized as well.

Also, the player can control which skills can be use by the Hero AI by placing the skill in order, from left to right, and deactivating skills so that those skills can only be used when the players initiates them.

Shortly after Nightfall came out, templates were introduced. Templates allow players to save skills, skill points, armor, and items to a local file that can be reloaded for later use or exchanged with other players.

Another addition was the ability to save skill sets. These sets can also be exchanged with other players by a long ASCI code. Both of these additions, while not specifically part of Nightfall, further enhance game play.

Nightfall uses a pleasant mix of story driven indoor and outdoor missions to tell the background of the lands. The missions range from the basic slay type to more interesting infiltration. One mission, in which the player crashes a party and must perform several amusing activities, was a wonderful surprise, very enjoyable and very fun to replay.

As a whole, Nightfall contains everything that Prophecies has and expands upon it nicely. Nightfall also has a nice mix of indoor and outdoor missions. The only draw back to the outdoor scenery is that they limited it to a savanna grasslands style.

The extras that this boxed set includes are nice for people that are heavy into Guild Wars or curious about what goes into making the game. Most will find those items of little value. Think of DVDs with a huge art section with hundreds of sketches that were used to create the movie. If that amount of detail interests you, then the extras included in this boxed set should as well.

With more player control of the battle through the use of fully customized Heroes, strong story driven missions, beautiful scenery, hundred of skills and several classes, Nightfall is the best part of the Guild Wars world.

Guild Wars delivers again

This is an excellent product. Not only does the Guild Wars series lack a monthly fee (the best point) but each GW game thus far has been stand-alone. All of the titles embrace graphically exciting themes. Nightfall is absolutely stunning in-game.

The Guild Wars series rewards skill of play, not just endless hours of repetitive play. Nightfall adds even more option and depth to an already excellent series.

I found NightFall to be just what most of us, those that love playing Guild Wars needed. With the intro of heros, frustration of finding a group is almost a thing of the past. I have little to say negatively about nightfall other than the the game is losing the role-play aspect. Chest cost gold to open and what you spend on keys will always be more than the item is worth. If you take henches and heros, your drops are far and few between.
Now for some good stuff. If you want to see great graphics, whack a few ugly, frighting monsters and some evil groups. Run from one town to the next,play PVP, join a guild fight in guild battles, meet some great people, for the most part and play on line free. Well, I have to say this game you will like, if not love.

This is our third Guild Wars purchase and we're still very pleased with story line and the overall scope of each release. There's enough content to keep up interested for months and the ability to smoothly travel between "continents" adds a nice sense of continuity. Some other nice features are the seeming lack of hacks and not having to wait in a queue to enter the game or change locations

Great Graphics, same old gameplay.

This third chapter in the Guild Wars saga has brilliant graphics, interesting story-line, and great new options including a new interaction with heroes. The game is the same as the other two chapters in that a character runs around different maps and kills things. Nothing really new from the previous two games.

Nightfall is all you will play

Amazing product. Highly addictive. Can barely stop playing. The art book, music cd and collector pins complement the game. A lot of fun. All I can say is that you will get your money's worth. I did.

Great Game

Fun to play with easy interfaces. Areanet has improved on the original Guild Wars: Prophecies campaign and unlike Factions delivers a full storied adventure. Improvements include heros, which grow as the characters grow, party searches, and a hat maker to keep all your festival hats.

Highly recommend this product!
