The bag is a great addition,

Green weapons - If you cant get by in pre with the current crop of purple items that drop, that's a bit sad.

Pre is already becomming more crowded with people trying for the title, I wouldn't want it to loose its charm but it seems to be going that way allready.

Apart from a legitimate way to reach level 20 with out deathlevelling, the one other addition that would benefit pre searing is a Dye trader/price advisor so people dont sell their dyes to the merchant for 1g or to other more unscrupulous players for low amounts.

Anet is not corrupting pre sear, Anet is smart.
They know that now people are going to start new characters in pre sear.
This way they can keep making people coming back.

How else can you explain the canthan triple green drop/access to elite missions and then the new year.

Anet is very clever and I salute them.

How convenient that I just started working toward the LDoA title... and first got through the north gate the very day they introduced 'em.

I'll have a charr bag in no time.... maybe more...

By far we can do without them but it would be a nice addition. How would low end greens make pre any less then what it is? I did not find the low end greens to turn Factions and Nightfall into such poor places.

Anywhere in all three chapters is what you make of it and the bag and any other additions they do add to Pre would just make it to where people would want to make characters in Chapter One again that have no urge to go for LDoA. Pre will allways be what we as a community make of it.

Can anyone confirm or debunk the theory that the bag disappears when you move to post? Please don't just reply that "well, I read on X thread that....". Can someone say for sure what happens to this bag when you move.

- Does the bag remain as is with all items in it? Or does it change to a normal bag.
- Does it make a difference if you have it equipped or not? For example, an equipped bag with items in it does not disappear, but an unequipped one changes to a regular bag or disappears.

Well, i saw the boss at the end of the pre-searing (just before you go to the post-searing) drop a greenie but we were teleported away and i got a dc.. But that was a long time ago. so i'm not sure and it can be off course a fake to my eyes.

Very cool, gives me a reason to stop death leveling and go boss-hunting again. Should also help free up my pre-searing storage characters so I can actually play them again - TY!

Oh and if you do add req 5 greens like Factions and Nightfall I'm sure it would be mainly loved by all that stay in pre.
Doubt it, they want you to stump up the $ to by the GOTY addition to give you the weapons that can be used by pre chars....

Excellent little addition for pre-sear. All we need now is:

The Skullreaver
* Slashing damage: 6-15 (req. 5 Axe Mastery)
* Damage +10% (while Health is above 50%)
* Double adrenaline on hit (Chance: 10%)
* Armor +5

Sephis skin, of course

As far as I know you can be stuck forever in level 17 or something if you don't use an "exploit" for level up monsters, and keep quests for the end. So, with your post you mean ArenaNet is working for help people to get title without exploiting the game? Please tell me yes and I will start right now a new Prophecies character.

There are lots of high end weapons and such in pre. Just have to know who to ask. Back when you could use the guild hall trick and pass stuff from post searing back to pre. They fixed the bug but there is still all the loot that was passed over. not hard to find you just have to look for it.

I think Anet should either open up guild hall travel again, or remove all the post-searing gear that was glitched in.

Many of the old timers have a very arrogant air about them, and lord their gear over the heads of people that didn't cheat the system.

I guess these "barons" of gear in Pre can no longer charge 300K for post searing bags. LMFAO.

When 1 creature kills another, it gains XP, when a creature gains enough XP, it gains a level; those are important game mechanics. In what way is that an exploit?

Nice to see a little love for Pre-Searing. Now all we need is a legitimate way to achieve LDoA. Please ANet?

Uh, since I'm pretty sure they know how LDoA is achieved, through massive hours of pointlessness, I'm pretty sure that's why the title is in there, and one of the nice things about it is that since there is only one way to get it, you can't really say that some guy "AFKed/exploited/paid for/insert supposedly wrong method here" to get his title.

Very true thats why they put Death Leveling back in.

And have some of you that it saying this is an "exploit" about Death Leveling why dont you try it now days and see if it as easy as I heard it was back in the days. I tested it out a bit for 3 hours and the strider next to the abby didnt always stay in the agro bubble so you cant afk it as I read on wiki. So how would that be easy killing yourself for hours on end to level a monster so you can just kill it and start over again?

Oh and more boss greens later in the game (and not just Sorrows Furnace)?
I said that a few times around here like Bonetti's Blade/Shield ,Galrath's,Verata's staff and few others.

greens would make no dif asyou can get good weapons in pre by just getting the 1mil eddition bonus for $5 from the online shop. My monk now has 45 energy in pre and a sweet bow 15-28 dmg looks like a bat.

These bags are not hard to get. At first when I heard about them I would have been willing to pay hundreds of plat for one, but I just went with my lvl 15 pre war to boss lvl, and I got 2 within 5 runs.... These Bags in my opinion are hardly even worth 5k (pre) 10k (post). And anyone who buys one for more than that got jipped.

Well I just got off and made about 10 runs boss killing with my lvl15 monk and got no bags. So i will give you you 5k for a bag.

These Charr bags are pretty cool. My friend and I, in our pursuit towards LDoA title, fought the bosses over and over. He got 2 bags and I got 1 bag in the course of about 12-15 runs. I'd say they'd be worth about 10k max. They arent hard to get if you invest a little time into it. We also gained about 3-4 levels each during these runs (we fought more then just bosses) and he is now level 9 and I'm 10. Anyway, just thought I'd post this here. Enjoy!

we all know that isn't possible, but there would be a considerable chance that if it was possible to de-equip a bag with anything in it, the items would be deleted rather than stored
