cheaper source of max armour for EotN, meaning 1k pieces. Every armour in EotN campaign is "elite", but now they have some alternative for people who want to play the campaign without having to go all the way through prophecies first.
I'm assuming this change is for the benefit of people who bought the prophecies & EotN bundle. They get the content and want to play in EotN, but would not be able to access it or put up any challenge until getting max armour by going all the way to Droks through Prophecies. This lets people who have paid for the campaign actually play it. Makes a lot of sense to me anyway.

Anyone with me when I say we should be allowed to trade those tokens we bought so long ago for faction back? I think so, even if we only get 250 faction a token. I have over 600 tokens....

Miscellaneous
* Flasks of Firewater now provide 3 minutes of drunk effect upon a single consumption.
* Lockpicks now drop in Eye of the North maps in normal mode at the same rate that keys drop in other regions.
* Updated the Ursan Strike, Volfen Claw, and Raven Talons skills to touch range to make them more consistent between the mission versions and the Norn title versions.

If they use tourney tokens, they need to have the number be pretty steep...because if you have stacks of these tokens, you can trade them for keys and just go to town at the chest...since an R9 runic blade already came out...and I'm sure stygian reavers, crystallines, etc will probably also come out of there...prices for all of these items are going to drop like rocks due to the "possibility" of them popping and the sheer numbers of people with large amounts of tokens to trade.
I say trade tokens for alcohols and sweets, directly from a collector, and leave the keys to newly gained faction and points.

I do appreciate the new NPC's in the hall. I've been complaining about this for a while. My hall already has all three for my alliance. xD

With the festival hat NPC in GH, can we make festival hats for PvP chars and then edit them through equipment editor?

balth chest thing is retarded, make a better idea the drops suck

This update was perfectly timed for me. I just reached UAX and so was going to have to start getting Tournament Tokens. However, now I can just get random stuff.

The Bath chest is good.
People, it isn't meant to be a "get rich instantly" button. It has to have crummy drops to keep prices reasonable.
Anyway, I'm kinda happy. It is a good time to start post WTBs for Firewiskey and Creme Brulee's since there will be a huge influx of them over the next few days (I am buying by the way, pm me if you see me in game).

Good job Anet, you implemented keys after I lost about 1m faction to the cap and spent another 800k~ on tokens (and gave those away because they were worthless)!
Oh well
Oh well

I don't particularly like the lower level access to EotN. I don't really have a reason, I just don't see the reason for it.
As well, I don't think you should get a key and an item from Halls. Its pretty much the same as getting two items from one chest. Thats on top of the faction you get from all of the kills and wins needed to win Halls. So by the time your done, your really getting 3 items from one chest. I realize this is to provoke/rekindle a slight interest in HA and PvP in general, but I don't see the need to drop a key and an item as well.

So now we can level toons to 10, run to Eye of the North get 3 level 20 heroes right off the bat and go back to the campaign that we started in and plow right through the first half of it with ease?
Feathermoore Rep
I mean yea you get three hero's but i mean not having hero's is part of prophecies. Everyone had to go through it the first time without it. And I think if you start again you should have to go through it without heroes. If you want heroes and have nightfall you can just get ran to LA, and then go to nightfall get those heroes and come back. So i dont really see the need to open EotN to non level-20 characters.

I think this is to get as many players into GWEN as possible before this weekend GWEN event starts up.

As for letting low level people into GW:EN, Why ?
My only complaint with this is that I don't understand why ANET did this, since I don't remember anyone complaining about it. If the low level players this lets in suck, I won't notice since I don't PUG much anyway. And even if I did, I don't PUG with anyone who is lower level than the henchmen.
As for farming tapestries, who would buy them ?
If you want them to fill up your HOM, wouldn't you be completing GW:EN on that character for other titles ?

i am very confused....
Flask of Firewater has been 3 mins / lvl 3 drunk for a while, thats what i have been using for my title as i slowly get it... over the last year.... this is no change, unless it was broken in the past... it has always been advertised as 3 mins / lvl 3 drunk... hence 2 drinks maxes my lvl of drunk out....
unless they r saying that its lvl 5, equaling 3mins drunk title cause last 2 minutes dont count....
plz clarify
also wtf is this crap about the lvl 10s getting armor and health buffs? what is this game coming to??? anet has no idea how pathetic they are making things... next will be an NPC that holds your little hand and guides you threw the entire game, or they will make it one of your heros, he is lvl 60, and you can ride around on his shoulder as he does the entire game for you... i am about as tired of this crap as i can get....

I think (as somebody else in one of these threads pointed out) that the new GW:EN mechanics for level 10 players is about the fact that GW:EN and Phrophecies are being sold together in this Preiumum Edition. Thus, new players who buy that will be able to get into GW:EN faster.

Bleh, what a misguided update. Why would I want to exchange pvp faction for pve junk? Faction should unlock pvp rewards. Pve rewards can be attained through pve. And we're still paying gold for invites and guests. I mean it's better than nothing, so in that respect I'm happy there at least was an update. But I would much rather spend pvp faction to pimp pvp characters, not pve.

Having never really done PvP in GW, is the Zaishen chest the first time GW has used PvP-grind to improve PvE characters, or has PvP been usable in the past to buy PvE skills / items / gear?
It seems so World of Warcraft...
I run a guild over there, and about a 1/5 of my members used to spend all their time in battlegrounds getting PvP faction so they could exchange it for PvE gear upgrades...

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but they moved the location of Xunlai Chests in Kamadan.
Now it's near the Sun Docks portal.

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but they also made it so you can open the bags using a command other than 'I' in the BMP missions.

Nice update imo except for the EOTN change.. :s
Crimson Flame
Do you think this will have any meaningful effect on the ferry services going on in Kamadan?
And Arcady, you can use Balth faction to unlock skills on your account, which can be learned through tomes, or can immediately be put on your heroes. Probably knew that already, but it's the only special thing I can think of.

The only part of this update that matters is the return of the sign in Kamadan that reads: Do Not Feed The Dwarf.
