yeah great way to do it (NOT) pay to go to the deep, lose and have to buy another scroll.

So if you don't want to pvp you can only do 2 of the 3 challanges. If yo don't want to be forced to buy scrolls to do the hunts then you're stuck with just 1 of the three to farm for coins...oh and you can only have one "Mission" in your log at a time. God knows if you can get another when you've done the first...am about to test that out.

These missions better award a ton of coins. This is such a "screw you" from anet.

Freaking sweet, I love this update. Anet have listened to what we, the players, asked for and have given it to us. All the extras are stuff we've said we'd pay for and I'm more than happy to for my extra storage, name changes, appearances changes etc. EVerything i've seen so far is sweet.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ANET

First time I've entered the Deep in at least a year... Oh, nostalgia... Everyone in my party is trying to remember how it goes. Wishing I had a PvE guild/alliance right about now.

EDIT: Stylist is a neat idea, but FFFFFFFFFFFFFF just looked at prices. Too much.

Well done ArenaNet, but fix the coin rates perhaps, seems awfully massive amount of grind for stuff now. Or make it possible to buy a Gold Coin for 5000 Balthazar faction.

Hopefully 7-heroes and Ritualist update will come some time, now that we've gotten this.

yeah it is that bad. If you don't pvp then the third quest is out. If you don't have balth faction you cant buy a scroll to the deep or wherever so you'll have to get that from a player. Not having wanted to bother with the deep I'm unsure if they work like the UW....eg you die and thats the end of your "run" if so then most pve'ers aren't going to succeed there either, so that leaves just the "missions" to farm up..7,500 copper coins to get a single 20 slot bag.

Now multiply that by however many characters you have on your account. I can just see it now... wts 20 slot equipment bag 50k.

I'm assuming this works the same as when you have to rename your character due to a temp ban - if that's the case, it doesn't recustomize but you can still use it. My mesmer, now named Ben Mcgee due to a temp ban, still wears the armor and uses the weapons of Bunghole Mcgee.

BTW I see Linsey lurking around at the bottom - thanks for your hard work and diligence on this.

oh and you'll have to toss another token 100g at each of these purchases too for the bags.

More farming.....just what i wanted! /SIGH

I love this update, but that was a GIGANTIC kick in the nuts. Seriously, 7500 copper coins that's 150 days if you complete only one of those on one character. I don't pvp, and the bounty quest if it's only Elite missions then I don't have the time to be doing one of those daily, so I'm stuck with the Mission quests and that's assuming I'll be doing them in HM.

Things shouldn't be handed in a silver plater but cmon, have some sense in it. 5 months of daily quests to get ONE 20-slots bag?

Are you kidding? You need 7500 coppers for the one bag. So assuming you run around and do missions in NM and HM for 70 coppers, you'd only need to do it about 108 times. For one bag. ONE. If you got like 9 characters and you want a pack for all of them, thats like 965 times. That's just fail. At least let us buy with plat or faction or something, or buy the coins off other people. Hope the bags are not customised so you can try and buy it like that.

The zoo looks good and the HoM changes are very nice. Ability to change up and update your character, been a long time coming. But you may as well bring in a new title for z-coins. Grind your way through 1000 missions, bah.

Is there any way to combine the zcoins from multiple characters? I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I currently cannot move my copper zcoins into my Xunlai storage.

If we are going to have to stockpile these things on one character, well....... ewwwwww.

I guess their original business model of having GW free has failed tremendously. You guys cry a river about needing funding for GW2 and all that jazz, but this is utter fail. You can keep your "makeover kits" and "storage". This update undermines the whole existence of Guild Wars and what it was started with.

What a surprise the "free" storage contains massive amounts of grind to actually get... Should've known better from grindwars i guess :S

But hey have to make the storage in the in game store look attractive as possible huh

you can't put zaishen coins in your storage box. so that means you can't do the daily quests with multiple toons and pool them together = Bad.

I can understand having to pay $10 for a total character remake, but you need to pay $10 for a haircut? Really? And don't even get me started on the price of equipment packs.

Some of the stuff is nice, yet very, very, late. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed.

some of these updates are awesome. I kept hoping of the stylist and now it's finally here!!! ...and I have to pay actual cash to make the changes? Ummm, no. I might want to change the hair-style of quite a few of my characters, and then decide I don't like it, so I'm going to have to shell out even more money? No. No, I don't think so.

The equipment bags are also annoying, or at least the method of getting them is. I have to do how many quests just to get one? Yeah, I might have been willing to put some gold down on it or do a quest chain or something similar to the Black Moa Chick stuff, but this is just a little rediculous.

Nice try a.net. I appricate the work you've gone to, but I don't like how've you implimented it.

The fact that A) you can't trade coins between your own chars and B) the quests are char-specific is disappointing. A) is likely intentional because B) would just be too broken otherwise, just keep remaking pvp chars and farm pvp rewards all day long. But B) is also going to really screw up "organized" PvP teams, I guess it's alot of BYOB with people's "mains".

Dammit so close they should have made the zaishen quest mandatory ALL PLAYERS to complete....then they can force people into doing the lesser missions instead of rewarding sabway/discordway cookie hero teams.

Oh well, overall great update

Or "The gaming industry has changed a whole lot in the last 4 years. While our original intention of Free To Play was idealistic, it's not feasible in the current gaming climate."

Stop being conspiracy theory entitled game morons and THINK for once in your life QQers. Life evolves, the world evolves, so too do games and their business models.

Don't know if it's been mentioned already but the Greased Lightning Mini seems to be bugged after it got changed to green rarity ... I can't use mine anymore

. Double cliking it does nothing.
