Nice prediction ... Nightfall-type weapons being introduced early.

I agree. I also wonder if the bosses will intrude on the chest running path. Will put the spark back into the run atleast.

Hey now by the echovald forest and jade sea they could mean the deep and urgoz warren. Maybe urgoz and xanaxai were behind the plundering. Since "new weapons" are being introduced in the UW and FoW there is a possibility these weapons will be elite mission/TOA related only.

There is still another event to look forward to after this weekend (25th-27th). Then after that it's PvE Nightfall style Sept 1-3!
This is false, Alex Weeks(?) has confirmed that the PC Magazine printed a false date

Oh please, that would ruin balance.

I'm hoping for a decent truncheon with a nice percentage chance of "enemies will stop running *around* all the tanks to target your poor necro"...

pretty please?

If you read It, there is mention of atleast 4 places:
1) Underworld
2) Outcasts
3) Wardens
4) Fissure of Woe

It seems the update will release "Totem Axe Style" weapons where the whole species in an area can drop it, as well as Certain Boss type weapons like the classic greens.

I wont say "green" because thats a bad term if it isnt confirmed I guess.

This is why

"The information is hazy, but early reports suggest the items were spread across the continent, and some have even made their way into the Underworld and Fissure of Woe."

My guess is weapons with elonian skins since these are neither from cantha or tyria. I doubt it will be spears or sythes though. I just hope they have a new sword. Still to this day I have not had one decent sword drop with both my tyrian characters and canthan characters. Lots of staffs and bows though

Yeah, Im sure that they will have some type of Elonian skin to them. I hope they arent greens because I dont want them overfarmed like Totems.

Some SIN and RIT weapons dropped in the FOW or UW would be nice. I'd love to see some Ghost RIT staffs or Chaos Daggers.

I also hope there are some Green Items dropped in UW like in the spawning pools area. Maybe I can get a team of 8 and actually play UW instead of SS/55 LFG for ecto farming. (Hates 55rs for ruining the area)

On a real note, it would be hilarious if they actually add that terror shield. I think the hoax was big enough to warrant it some in game glory.

But the question is, does Elona count as a continent or a country?

Edit: And checking on GuildWiki, it does count as a continent.
