ive seen a couple threads about all the UW new rewards ie dhuum smite crawler minis and dhuums soul reaper. but i really think it would better help the community if all the new rewards were posted on this thread. thank you for your co-operation ((sorry for spelling))
EDIT: pics and discriptions would be appreciated

If people can't be bothered to search though a few threads then they don't deserve to see the new items. Period.

I remember Linsey saying that she'd love to do more deity zones, or somethink the like. I wonder whether this is the tradeoff between their willingness and their (limited) means.
EDIT: the ghost skills seem OP and clearly designed for the challenge.

Rangers have been getting PuG's all night for splinter barrage.
Also, nerfing SF into oblivion is entirely unnecessary. IMO they're entirely unlikely to do what seems to be expected here because they'll most likely loose more players over it than is worth making a few people happy.
SF could be a lot worse - you're either locked into A/E or have to buy (and usually waste) tons of consets just to keep it up. The damage is incredibly sub par, even with the silly gimmicks. Personally, I don't want to think about doing DoA or Urgoz without one SF tank, warriors are fail tanks as a class design and dervs are not much better.
And as has been said, nerf SF into unusability and some other stupid gimmick build will come along just as easily.

Um... so if a player dies, they return as a ghost with a new skillbar in Forgotten Vale, as long as they didn't have 60% DP?

If you weren't in one of the four professions of 'balanced' you were SOL and JWF. Because balanced is a euphemism for Cookie Cutter in this game's community.

A revised speed clear team is continuing to power through UW, and is also beating your new boss. Also, no skill balance.
You continue to let me down, ANet.

Cool, we can fight Dhuum now, inb4 shitty gimmicky bu-
Ooooh noooooo, it's already too late, what do you know.
Maybe it's time to really balance the game?
Also, I find it kind of ironic that the first new scythe dropped for a sf sin.

This whole discussion is pointless. PvE was ruined after introducing skills like Shadow Form, PvE skills, cons etc... Anet's not gonna change anything.
Yes it's pretty stupid but I guess anet wants to be stupid ><

I'm not in any hurry to buy one :P
Just find it incredible that people try to sell them for that high. Anyone with a brain will look up where those minis come from first, and then they'll know that it's not uber-rare like the MPB or the contest award minis.

So do you have to defeat Dhuum for the UW chest to spawn? Or is it a second chest spawn?

I can't believe people expected something other then having to beat all of UW to get to Dhurrm. I mean... it was ALWAYS apparent to me that he was going to be a final boss fight. After all, the Waiting Game had pretty ridiculous rewards otherwise.
Edit1: Not making the boss WTFPWN SF... sigh
Edit2: The minis seem to have a pretty good drop rate. Anybody trying to sell for 1100e... heck more power to em. They will probably we worth a 10th of that in a few weeks.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect the same UW chest to spawn after doing the same quests, then have an additional boss fight with better possible rewards.

Well I think the attempt to update UW was very nice, I am sure lots of long hours and hard work went into ANET. Thanks.
Somethings that are disappointing though is that there is no way to save progress...IE like in DOA. The DOA quest is taken in town then you can go and complete each area one at a time if you really want to. Now UW is a all or nothing shot, you either get all the reapers up or you dont and start over. This will be very tough for balanced and new groups.
Ice wastes is pretty tough without running obby, SB or SF. You really need 3 tanks to complete the quest. I don't know what the point in this? I think the intent was to make it unsoloable. Reality is that you are designing the game around a skill now, thus shutting everyone else that chose not to run the latest meta.
If you really want to make UW a little bit harder for SF groups you should have updated the fingers of chaos skill and add those monsters as pop ups to the underworld in addition to the skeletons. Would have been much easier to do imo. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fingers_of_chaos

Even though i like the fact that dhuum has finally been added even though i never expected him to be (so gj anet for that), i don't like the fact that 2 months have passed and still no skill updates which was supposed to be expected every 2 months. From what i recall skill updates was changed from 1 month to 2 months so that the team could make 'more ambitious' skill updates.
Skill updates have been one of the only reasons why i am still logging into guild wars so that i can make new builds and because i would really like to seem some buffs to some of my favorite classes.

The problem is that getting to Dhuum is still abusable by SF, and 600/Smite to a degree, and if those players are still at least able to get to Dhuum, ANet has accomplished nothing.

guess it'll be a while till i see this boss.
their way of fixing UW was making it even harder for balanced group, or so it appears.
the 4H and ice waste first, now this. great.
