I guess I'll have to read over it, especially since I beat Nightfall on Sunday, 8:30AM EST with Jaz and a few puggers

I would have beat it waaay before then, but first there was a bug where there was no primary or mission you could do (stuck, impossible to progress. Don't question that we were stuck, we searched every town, NPC, and some of the zones. A few other people did too), then the update that fixed that came out about 10 hours before I woke up

Then there was a bug where you couldn't load a town, so me and Jaz were both stuck for another few hours.

After those few bugs though, it went fairly smoothly. Dawnspire came back and helped us get to the last mission (he had beat the game the night before. That crazy freak )

Anyway, I've been hunting for the elite missions and mapping. Dawn has been helping me, and so far we found a cool spot where you can teleport between the Arid Sea in Tyria and the Crystal something (forget the name right now) in Elona. There even is a quest that crosses over (I won't give away the quest, it is a nice sidetrack )

Current ranks:

Sunspear Castellan Rank 8, required 7,500 Sunspear points.

Adept Lightbringer Rank 2, required 300 Lightbringer points.

Now time to read the magazine and edit this post after I'm done...

Pre-reading edit:

I think that Prophecies was the best-done chapter, but Nightfall had the best storyline (you really need Prophecies and Nightfall to appreciate it)

Post-reading edit:

Erm, I kinda paraphrased the last few pages, it was kinda droning (sorry)

What I picked up, is apparently you weren't reading the primaries and stuff. If you try to blow through the game like that, it is a heck of a lot harder.

Even for me, blasting through Nightfall as fast as possible, I found reading the quest text carefully on every primary helped a heck of a lot. If there was a quest arrow pointing in one direction, but going in another was actually faster (if you unlocked another town closer, the quest doesn't know that). There also were times when the quest arrow was bugged, and reading the quest text and NPC text led me to the right places.

Dunkoro may be an old annoying geezer, but he makes a great healer if you give him a good build. He was in my group when we beat the game. Don't ask me to spoil it for you, unless you really distrust me (don't think I beat the game) and want the end ruined for you. It was really cool : )

Well, time to finish my homeschoolwork then get back to elite mission hunting....

(I just tried to submit this, and it complained that the limit to a post is four images. This thing (vBulletin) counts it's own smilies as images? Wierd)
