Just wondering how many people will play characters through Nightfall.
For Factions, I played 3 new characters to the end, plus two Tyrian characters. It is doubful if all 5 of these characters will make it through Nightfall. So I am curious about how many characters others might run through the game.

I have 1 Canthan and 2 Tyrians who've made it all the way through the game. My monk is making her leisurely way through now. She's a little arrogrant because she can get in pugs so easily. As for Nightfall, I'm guessing I won't bring all my characters through, but I can't think of who I'd leave behind! I love playing them all! AND I know I'll want to make a dervish. If anything, I would guess the Ritualist doesn't move on. Why, then, I'm still saving Jade for her last armor bit I STILL don't understand.

Not quite sure what your driving at the way you worded the poll, however I think there is no doubt at all in my mind that my Monk, Quintare, will be running hell bent for leather through Nightfall every moment I can spare away from real life till it's done. In Prophecies my plan was to do that with my warrior Alyxandra, but it turned out to be so many warriors that you couldn't get a party, so I went back from about Gates of Kryta to remake and pound my way through. I still think I was among the first 100 or so monks to finish the game. Man was it brutal... we didn't know squat Anyway, I ran Quint through Factions also, but there were an awful lot of monks doing the same thing so I didn't really get to pick and choose parties like I had hoped to. Also I had less time available to play so it took me considerably longer (relatively speaking) to work my way through. However I'll be trying it again with the next release as well. Then I'll just play it by ear. I think that I'm very likely to play through with both a Devish and a Paragon, but I'll eventually get my Warrior and my Necro through also, so I voted 5-6 toons.

Probably, 2 new classes + warrior, necro, ranger, monk. Maybe a few more. Assassin is the least likely.

Since none of my characters have endgamed in Factions yet, I can't imagine that I'll finish Nightfall with more than 1 or 2 new characters. Or, maybe I'll just take Aerina through Nightfall. I still play her more than any of my other characters. Inthast is so hot that half the time I forget to play and end up just staring at him standing in front of waterfalls and such....

Philia (R/Me) is my only lady through both chapters. I have two characters (Vellum and Libby) who haven't finished Prophecies yet -- so Philia will probably be my only one through Nightfall.

At least one Nightfall character, plus Eld. Eld's done it all.

Just because you didn't explore Cantha doesn't mean you cant take your Tyrian character to Elona... I'm betting heavily on ANet to produce a much more satisfying and absorbing game this time. We may end up never going back to Cantha for anything but AvA

My theory is that GW chapters will follow the pattern of the Star Trek films, but in GW's case, the odd-numbered chapters will be the good ones, and the others just so-so.

Are we counting Sorrow's Furnace as a chapter? It was on their 6 month release schedule but it's not stand-alone like the others... 1. Tyria (Original GW) 2. Sorrow's Furnace 3. Cantha (Factions) 4. Eloria (Nightfall) or 1. Tyria (Original GW) 2. Cantha (Factions) 3. Eloria (Nightfall)

I have a general goal to run a character of each profession through end game for prophesies, factions and nightfall. I'm still at the point where playing a new profession brings new understanding to game play. I'm in no hurry to settle down on one or two characters. (Thank you Anet for those $10 character slots)
Here are my various locations: Warrior, ele, and mesmer - end game for proph and factions. Monk - end game factions, southern shiverpeaks. Necro - Ring of fire and the foreign quarter. Ranger - southern shiverpeaks and someplace 2/3 through factions.

I just realized the confusion in the poll (probably a little too late). The number range was for the total number of characters that you will endgame, not the number of nightfall only characters. Sorry for the confusion.

My 5th and final PvE character finished Nightfall Monday night. That's enough for me. Now just cap those remaining elites...

So far, I have 2 characters in Vabbi, one about 1/3 of the way through Kourna, 2 fresh of the boat in Kourna, and 1 baby level 2 Paragon on the island. I feel SOOOO far behind. Ah well, at least I'm having fun exploring at my own pace. But I do miss playing with all of you.

I have 2 characters that completed Nightfall, a third is well along. My original goal of taking each profession through each end game isn't going to survive if anet has a release every six months.

But I do miss playing with all of you. Aeron, I know from experience that you are not the shy type. Sing out, we're happy to quest with you and Nightpearl any time. We miss you, too.

Finished my paragon. Dervish is about 1/2 through. Monk over 1/2. Will at least do my wa and ra. Not sure about my nec. I mean with a nec hero for a MM or SS, who really needs a real nec player anymore?
I'm not in any hurry though. I bet we won't see the next release untill at least next summer.

I promise I will sing it loud and sing it proud. Just haven't seen too many people online when I have been. But I've been getting on late recently, so I know it's not you, it's me.

You have a lot of allies here on the west coast too, so sing out anyway. You may not see us but we are probably still here

Y'all are so far through this game. I just recently finished my D/P and unlocked all those skills. My old monk is now into Kourna, but thats it. I'll bet I get at most 4 chars through.

Hey, many thanks to everyone for the treasure running last night. It was great to play with so many BGN and it was really great to get all the phat loot. I think I needed out with 1 diamond, one suntouched spear, 1 suntouched shield, 1 soulspire, and 4 plat. Not bad for an hour of running around and getting lost. :-)

Sorry for the double post...
Thanks to Eld, AD, and HJar for helping Nightpearl and I get our first characters through Nightfall. What seemed impossible was almost easy with Guildies to help.
Many thanks!

Woot! Congrats, Aeron and Nightpearl! I'm glad I stayed on and came along for the penultimate mission. What's a few lost hours of sleep among friends? Aeron, you were so funny, when we took the last shrine and then started beating on S---- (I don't want to spoil it for anyone), saying something like, "Fight him right here? Right now?"

Well, that's where NP and I had wiped the last time. We started pounding on Shiro and then BAM party wipe. No where to run b/c we were trapped in the little nook. I was scared! Fun to be a noob sometimes!
