Perhaps it's old news, but I didn't see a link here yet!

Items of note:
  • New skills and armor for all classes, including the Assassin and the Ritualist.
  • Lions and rats will be some of the new pets available.
  • "Can't Touch This" paragon shout makes all touch attacks fail on allies within earshot.
  • Character templates have been officially announced, allowing you to store multiple builds for each character.
  • In game CE stuff will include a mini pet and special dances, as well as enhanced music.

Dang, I still have to beat factions. I haven't left the starter area yet, trying to finish this last quest that has me stumped. I did manage to get to level 17
however, so I may just skip it and go on.
 
new assassin and ritualist skills ?!? I thought these classes were chapter specific. I can kind of see additional armor (gold sink), but it seems strange they would continue to add more skills to balance for each profession. Also, if they are chapter specific professions, I wonder if they will have new elites?

[toj.cc]phantom - feel free to post a thread if you need help or ask in guild/alliance chat in game. Guildwiki is also a good reference if you want to look stuff up too. If you're stuck trying to complete the "captured son" quest, I can understand that, it can be a difficult one to not over-pull on that huge group of crimson skulls.
 
I think that what will happen regarding the professions added with additional chapters is this:
Each new chapter will expand upon the professions of the chapters before it.

So for example, the expansion after nightfall will have skills for the 6 core professions, Assassin and Ritualist, and Paragon and Dervish.

Alternatively, each new exansion might expand on the professions of the expansion before it.

Either way, new skills = sweet.

My favorite thing by far has to be the Character Templates. I've been saying that that would be an excellent addition for a while now, and my vision is finally being realized! :D

No, I finished that captured son quest. I was talking about the one called Unwelcome Guests, or something like that.
 
Captured Son is insane...

I did beat it with my A20 and my lower level Ele, plus some henchies, though. I found that coming along the beach from the east gives a pretty good chance not to pull more than intended, or at least not more than you can handle.

Unwelcome Guests...where's that one? It sounds familiar, but I'm drawing a blank.
 
It might not be called that, but if it is, then its the one were you have to take the Kirin to the spots of Miasma and he'll get rid of them.
 
It might be like the materials storage, only an added/upgraded tab that you have to unlock per character (for 50g per) at an NPC in a Nightfall town. We'll just have to wait and see. I don't think they'll have this feature available for the upcoming preview weekend.

Phantom: Unwelcome Guest is the second 15 att point quest, you will definately want to finish that one to get the additional attribute points. Like I said, if you need help, let us know. I actually did that one this weekend, too bad I didn't realize you were so close to my rit and mesmer.

Back to the topic of Nightfall...

The PC Gamer article also mentions a few other points. I don't have the mag with me, but they are changing the salvaging process. An expert salvage kit will now allow a player to choose which "upgrade" to remove from a weapon (no verification if it will work for armor too). The modifyer that is currently inherent to the item will also be salvageable as an "inscription" that can be applied to other weapons (also no word about inscription unlocks for PvP). It also mentions that the item will not disintegrate when the weapon is salvaged, so you may be able to get multiple upgrades and a "clean" weapon to sell out of one drop.

The other major change are the customizable heros. Henchmen who you assign skillbars to and who level up with you. Not too sure I like this. If I choose to play with some of you for a couple of missions, I'm not sure if my "heros" will lag behind in level. I really don't want to get stuck grinding levels for henchmen.

I also saw that in cutscenes, THE MOUTHS WILL MOVE with the speech!

and thus the touch ranger is nerfed, RIP touchies. :(

anyway cant wait to get nightfall, im skippen factions (sorta i have a 16 rt) and gonna get on track with nightfall.
 
I have most my characters about half way through Factions, and hopefully before nightfall comes out ill have 3-4 of them done with the game. I am wanting to go through Luxon side with my monk since i went throguh kur. side with a character already, anyone want to come along?
 
I've got a several I could take along. I'm working on getting my ritualist (at Napui right now) up through Arborstone right now so that I can cash in all Kurzick faction before doing Boreas Seabed with her and either of the 2 others I have there. I want to get all 3 characters through Boreas Seabed at once for the 1500 Luxon faction to reduce the amount of repeatables or challenge missions (Zos Shivros) I will need to do to earn the 10,000 faction for that side. Once I get through, I'll have to rush all 3 through Sunjiang so that I can Befriend the Luxons with all 5 characters at the same time.

Something tells me that between the preview weekend and my wife's birthday that I'm not gonna make much progress this weekend though.
