Update - Thursday, June 3, 2010
Krytan Happenings
News has reached Lion's Arch that the Mursaat themselves are now exerting some measure of control over White Mantle operations. Based on this information, Princess Salma is seeking the assistance of those who've earned the gift of True Sight. The chance to take direct action against the White Mantle's false gods is one the Shining Blade cannot let pass.
Automated Tournaments
Updated the 2010 Automated Tournament Series Trophy in the Great Temple of Balthazar.
Updated the Automated Tournament map rotation.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused the map UI to improperly display vanquish status for Talmark Wilderness.
Fixed a bug that prevented Calculated Risk from applying to ranged skills.
Fixed a text bug on the sign for Wanted by the Shining Blade quests that mistakenly identifies them as Zaishen Bounties.

Checked the keep, didn't seem to be any new dialog.

I had a new Inquisitor bounty, but yes no new dialogue.
edit: Inquisitor Lovisa, who's hanging out by the north jetty on Watchtower Coast's beaches.
#2: Killed Inquisitor Lovisa, after accepting reward you get a new quest from Salma. The rewards are XP, Gold, Royal Gifts, and a MoH...pretty cool.

Ah, so the puppets do have still in fact their puppet masters to control them. I knew the Mursaat were still lurking behind the scenes. It was too much of a coincidence with these new Jades popping up recently.
Scarlett Romanov
Nothing new in the lab or blade camp...

Glad they fixed Calculated Risk. Been wanting to use that skill but that bug kind of ruined it for me.

For anyone wondering, the new quest with Inquisitor Lovisa, she is located north on the beach in Watchtower Coast. She comes with a Jade Cloak and other assorted Mantle.

New mini mission is kinda fun.

Evennia has arrived in Old Ascalon, at Ambassador Zain's camp.
The villager by the overturned wagons is no longer blocking the way from Zinn's lab out to the rest of the Divinity Coast explorable. Loose Magic is still in effect inside the wooden fence around the lab, but not outside.

Riverside Assassination is set up as a dungeon. Gate lock and everything.
I'm lookin' forward to completing it.

There is no split in reward for NM and HM either, unless there is lets say...a chest at the end, there is pretty much no reason to do this in Hard Mode
PowerRAV
The villager blocking the way at Zinn's Secret lab area has been moved... So I went exploreing... Found 3 bosses (Justiciar Sevaan, Cairn the Berserker, and Vess the Disputant) The door into Divinity Coast town is blocked, I noticed alot of the swamp area looks revamped, and the Castle area Vess the Disputant is at appears it will help with cartography can't be sure though. Alot of this might of been posted already when people were glitching past the NPC.

Quite challenging, if not irritatingly hard in some areas, and I'm yet to reach the boss...

Apparently Against the Charr has been changed to prevent speedbooking:

Granted, you only need to affect of the 1 of 3 missions to be effective in deterring people from using hero speedbooking. |
Eragon Zarroc
very cool new mission with nice rewards 
just went through the front but sorta from the side? lol. NM = same rewards. was nice
Leighwyn
In the off chance that someone is curious...let me save you the pain, nothing happens if you kill every single thing in the zone

It looks like completing all three Inquisitor quests is required for Salma to give out Riverside Assassination.

So, if I understand what the official wiki says about riverside assassination, I have to have done wanted by the shining blade quests that are no longer available? 
If that's true than way to go being exclusive on awesome new content...
Can anyone confirm this or disprove it?
*edit: The Wanted poster gives you the option to do those three plus the one from yesterday, phew.

helps to complete the RA quest if you take some of those "worthless" summoning stones.

I'm digging Riverside Assassination. I said in a post months ago that they could implement dungeon type quests in every campaign. Hope to see many more. I'm starting to regain a little faith. If we could only convince them to add inscribe-able weapons.

Has anyone else noticed the heroes and henchmen lately are completely lobotomized? They used to be tolerable, but on MORE than 10 accounts during this last quest they have stood in AoE without moving, ran into groups from 40 feet away to res or just dont attack what you ping.
Or am I just crazy?

I think this update may have killed Texmod too... I was using it earlier tonight to work with Cart/Vanq of Tyria. Logged out for a shower and some food, came back after update and no more overlay...

Mine's still working like a charm.

They also die too RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing much. Levels are too low and skill bars shit. You can't use them in this mission and expect to complete it.
I may wait a few days and do it with real people or perhaps I just won't bother simply because I don't care. Rewards aren't that impressive, IMO.

i love how all the way through the mission alesia spends more time on her face than healing.

Well, the final boss is rather disappointing. I admitedly had more trouble getting TO him... and standing the deficient hero AI in the process, for that matter.
EDIT
I noticed it too.
I just gave up resurrecting Alesia and Little Thom after a while, left their (exploited) corpses behind and went on alone with heroes.

Par for the course for Alesia. XD She usually stinks. |

Didn't even look to see that the bonus was the same for HM until I was done but it would have been too easy in NM.
For the guy yelling at little Thom,
He's a spazz and always does that, thats why I like him!!!
Cool seeing some new stuff today!!!
Malache
See that's what I get for not reading this beforehand... went thru the mish from Salma in HM *lol* Took quite some time, some very careful pulling & flagging, but managed to get thru w/ H/H team. Have to agree too, the final boss was cake compared to tracking out to pick up the keys. Still, very fun to see some developing content on the WiK side of things
cosyfiep
I didnt even kill everything in the mission I was supposed to (only got 2 bosses before the ether seal and the final boss--NONE of the keys--never found those bosses)....5 royal gifts=4 scrolls and one medal of honor....I think I am not going to bother with my other characters.
