Here is where I talk about what I'm doing in Guild Wars and my opinion(s) of the game.

Febuary 2nd, 2007
I've been playing Nightfall and have clocked over 72 hours on Jacqueline Valmont (not all of that is actual playing time...I like talking to folks). I hit level 19 yesterday. I made the mistake of going through all the side quests in Lahtenda Bog before I did the ones in Issur Isles and Metani Keys...so I'm far too high of a level to be going through the primary quests to get off Istan. I'm not impressed.

And I'm really mad that I'm not going to be getting skills from quests. That really made me very upset. Now I have to spend skill points on skills that I would rather be spending on Signet of Captures.

On the plus side, I've gotten Acolyte Jin. That means all my Ranger skills are now available to her. Bring it on!

Okay, so I'm kneedeep into Nightfall. I just hit level 16 and I've had the Sunspear Commander title for awhile now. I choose to play a Dervish/Ranger. I've been poking at Factions with my original character, Jack Valmont, but I can't really get into yet. I'm just not feeling the same vibe, you know? I want to have my heroes, I want those quests that really mean something, and all I'm getting is this stupid "You must kill X many monsters or my crops won't grow!" It just makes me sick.

But back to Nightfall. I'm at the bog now. For almost a half-hour I attempted to bring a 4-man team into and kept dying. And I couldn't figure out why! Then I realized I needed 8-man and then it was all gravy from there. I managed to get everything explored and so on and so forth. It was great.

=== January 3rd, 2007 === Let's be honest. Nightfall is completely more engaging than Factions. I just activated Factions and the intro almost let me fall off my chair...asleep. I've been playing my Dervish non-stop in Nightfall, which really doesn't mean anything. I managed to get all the Wintersday 2006 hats, which is awesome. I made it to three different final events, and managed to nab all four in an almost fowl swoop.

And I just lost the Survivor title on my Dervish today. A shame. Well, now the pressure is off. I'm still exploring (read: scraping) the areas slowly and getting all the promotion points I can get (you gotta love taking it easy). I'm about to get my second hero. It was a nice surprise to see that all my Prophecies elites were avaliable to Koss (or perhaps just the Core elites? I don't know).

For those of you who don't know, I have somewhere around 65 elite skills unlocked on my Ranger. Check that out here.
