So... how do we get in a tournament? And what do we have to do to unlock the ability to unlock stuff with z-coins?

Anybody else experiencing an unhealthy amount of Error Code 007s following the update?

Started a fairly long mission and got near the end when I got a message saying my network had disconnected. Absolutely no lag or other problem beforehand. Asked if I wanted to connect. I say yes and immediately get a 007 error message and logged out of GW.

Log back in... wander around a bit. No lag, no seeming problem. Start the mission again. Get a bit further in the mission and the same thing happens.

Once might be a fluke. Twice?



*edit* I see that somebody else asked the same question in a new thread while I was posting this. So clearly not an isolated issue.

I'm fairly certain they came out and said they actually push out each event.

1) You need the Zcoins that Tolkano is requesting (for example, if he asks for 12 silver coins for a basic weapon, you need to have 12 silver Zcoins in your inventory)

2) Talk to Tolkano

3) select the type of reward you want

4) select the item you want to change

5) select what you want to change it into

6) If you have the proper Zcoins he is requesting for that, you will see the option to choose Zcoins to pay.

Martin, upon selecting "Purchase Rewards" he blocks us saying we need reward points. This is a widespread issue, he still checks for reward points and won't let you in without one.

Edit: Note, I was holding golds/silvers/bronze coins when I talked to him

How do we know what coins we need? Why can we not just browse anyways to see what's available?

Can you send me a PN with a screenshot when you do this (with your inventory open)? We had several people here testing it on the Live server right now, and it worked fine for all of them...

I'm having the same problems, both with my main and alt he's not taking any coins. I've tried changing account names and different chars, but haven't had any difference.

Kinda sucks...I was looking foward to this so much

The rest of the update is alright. UWSC may be nerfed, but shadow form still is the culprit for other SC's. Why can't you just nerf the build instead of changing the area?

We've reproduced the issue internally, and this will be fixed with an update tomorrow.

I'm curious what real changes have occurred in UW, that lead to uwsc nerfing -- enemy placement, skill changes, new enemies?
Wastes--The second and third spawns of dryders no longer spawn in the middle. They are actually quite far away.

Vale--The graspings are no pop ups when you cross the bridge

Pits--Dryders now spawn much closer to the souls. Shadow of Haste is needed.

Chamber-Dryders come very close to reaper now, unknown if they can agro.

DP Nerf-Mountains is now more annoying than before. Have to have a decent ping and be on time to cast SF.

Not sure what else has really affected uwsc.

Great update arenanet! The henchmen really needed some better builds and the new ones are great. One can only guess how many survivors deaths, tears and ragequits could have been avoided if they would have been changed two years ago...
And if the changes to the underworld kill UWSC I'll call this update one of the best ones ever.

Nope, still bugged. I imagine this kinda thing they'd put on the update notes.

looks like a good update very excited to play "codex" (which i assume is sealed deck)

but only one problem without "charge" i ether have to go outside without any partywide speed boost, use a BU, run a P/ or X/P hero, run a W/ or X/W hero, run X/W which forfeits my elite, or X/P which may work but seems dumb (maybe there is something useful in para skill set for me), and most of these might make the exploring slower then without the speed boost like the towns that don't have a "charge" henchie.
oh i know they should make a nonelite party-wide speed boost for monks hehehe

lol probably never going to use war henchie ever again unless its one of the only four henchies in town and i can't find anybody to run with me

I have to be honest, but I've never truly done Underworld except for the occasional ZBounty runs someone may have been doing.

How do these changes affect people who, believe it or not, have never completed Underworld?

Henchman in EotN still only show their primary profession, but I do overall like the changes.

Lina now has Return. o.O

Odurra now has Mistrust in Nightfall was already a pretty good hero, but Mistrust is pretty welcome.

Henchmen skillbar updates are very welcome. I love the strip enchants on the nec's. Not going to stop the 7 hero requests, but it's a major improvement.

Regina can you say if there will be a way to downgrade my Ziashen coins from gold to silver in a future update? Also do you need gold coins for the fancy armour? since i still need to unlock loads of armours to get what i want. i cannot check.

PvE characters couldn't use RPs to get the skins, so I highly doubt they can use zcoins.

IMO that doesn't seem right... if they are PvP weapons, why not let them only use them in PvP?

Anyways, can somebody who has access to the PvP rewards tell us the new prices in TRP and prices in zcoins? Screens too? I know it's tomorrow but I guess I'd like to know now if you can.

What? They are only usable in PvP.
