Guild Wars: Nightfall announced

That's right! The third chapter of Guild Wars has been announced.

With it comes two new characters - Dervish and Paragon - and a brand new continent to play on - Elona.

The Paragon The paragon isn't meant to be a frontline fighter. Instead, the paragon is best suited in a support role as a battle commander, capable of supporting teammates by throwing spears and using verbal chants and shouts that can boost the fighting abilities of those nearby. And the paragon's angelic nature isn't just aesthetic, as this profession's presence can help teammates resist hexes and other curses. It's easy to identify paragons on the battlefield, thanks to their angelic look. Even the paragon's armor is saintly in appearance, thanks to the incorporation of ivory and mother of pearl in its materials. And if that weren't enough, a paragon's metal armor usually has the form of wings engraved in it. It's no wonder that the Elonians in the game believe that paragons are guardian angels sent by the gods to serve as champions for the people. The Dervish If the paragon is best while standing back from a fight, the dervish is at home in the heart of one. These holy warriors are capable of striking at multiple targets simultaneously with their wicked scythes. Of course, they're armed with a whirling, spinning attack that's perfect for when in the middle of a bunch of foes. Dervishes can also cast spells on themselves that aid in their assault, and the profession has various healing and protection abilities as well. The profession's most powerful ability, however, is to temporarily transform into the physical embodiment of a god. Since the profession is part warrior and part priest, dervishes are clad in robes rather than armor. Protection comes mainly from the dervish's agility in battle, as well as the various protection enhancements and spells. In addition to the robe, dervishes are equipped with bracers on their arms, and they're constantly hooded to show their humility to their gods.

What bleh looking characters...

Possibly worst game ever

They're as interesting as Sov's future biography.

What lovely replies.

Looks like garbage.

well i am looking forwart for the third chapter, and those new chars sound like fun!!!

Now THAT'S what I'm a-talking about!

It's not so much the character's I'm looking forward to, but the new place to play.

this game should die

WoW should die in a fire.

The new characters do look pretty bland, especially the dervish. The game has enough melee characters already.

A new land is tempting but I'll probably wait on this one after being burned by Factions.

As far as I'm concerned with characters, as long as they've got a good long range, I'm not bothered. I always go with N/something.

It'll be interesting to see the designs and buildings of Elona. We've got various things for Tyria, Ancient Chinese for Cantha, and Elona? Might be Gothic, judging by the "Nightfall" bit?

Actually, Elona is supposed to be North African themed.

Argh... a desert.

It figures, really, if you think of the "Elonas Reach" mission and what not.

The ghosts weren't Elonan, were they?
