War in kryta climax
Del
I myself was not disappointed, that was the first time i was actually challenged by pve, in normal mode no less. So how did you folks like it?
jazilla
that was insane. gonna have to do it with alliance mates in the morning. no one was on at this late hour. i tried the hero henchway and made it to the last boss group. i wish they would have upped the level of the henchies for this instance. but yeah, i agree with you. this is the first time i have felt challenged in NM since i did, "Last Day Dawns" a LONG time ago.
I question ANET making something this hard that is supposed to be a tie-in to GW2. kind of a head scratcher. you would figure that they would want everyone to be able to see this through to the end, but there is no way that is going to happen with how they have it set up. I really like the set up of it though. can't wait to give it a go with a full alliance crew.
side note**SPOILER**
after seeing blimm and zinn doing that weird operation on that seer in their lab, it was a huge let down that their help wasn't better. seemed kind of a cop out on anet's part for the asura to not be ready for the fight. would have liked to see something grandiose come out of that whole thing. instead, it was pretty sub-par. why have a build up for over a few months only to have it be a silly infusion aura? i mean, we had the trial, zinn getting his hands on a Seer with NO details whatsoever on HOW he got that thing, and then over a month of nothing progressing storywise out of that lab and finally...silly auras near the end of the battle?! Here in San Diego we have a word for that, anet: Weaksauce!

I made it through with a friend and heroes, and it was a lot of fun. The best part was finally finding out what the medals of honor are good for.
KageNoShi
I'm still trying to h/h it, but I'm definately not disappointed here.
Edit: Completed it w/ a PUG and I am still not disappointed with how this ended...though *SPOILER ALERT* I wonder when we're going to find Langmar and Thackery now?

ManlyMan
WHAT IS THIS BS WHY NO LOVE FOR EVENNIA !?! WHY IS SHE STILL MISSING T_T
Also, I can see Langmar coming up dead, hence the whole Gwen,Thackary taking over then establishing ebonhawke, etc etc. T_T

Arato
So rumor has it oppressor weapons are dedicateable?
ManlyMan
I haven't tried. I'll go check that now.
Arato
I thought the last battle was pretty epic though, I wouldn't want to H/H it.. hencies too low level and there's so much aoe in some of the waves you can't do anything but flag stupid NPC's around which is not my idea of fun. But with a group of humans who can think for themselves it's pretty fun.
ManlyMan
Can't Ded the oppressor weaps, i tried on my Scythe, didnt work.
Gabriel of Ravn
yeah i got steamrolled but i was h/h so im going to try with a real group this time
Wolf2581
The new ones are gold oppressor weapons similar to other high-end craftable weapons, and then green commemorative weapons, most of which are named after people involved in the war. Each weapon costs ten medals of honor.

So hard... what happened... can't beat... ugh... Its the most fun I've had with PvE in a long while 
Apok
I agree, they could've at least given us an army of Seers...
Gabriel of Ravn
the asuran "weapon" was so lame

So is this repeatable? And are you still able to do Wanted quests afterwards?
I don't dare start this quest, afraid I'll lose my chance at a mini Livia xD

It wouldn't really affect me, but if the Wanted quests were no longer available... I'd envisage the mini prices skyrocketing, since the number of people still able to get them would quickly dwindle. You'd also have a hard time getting Oppressor weapons.
I'm at work now... can't try for myself... how big is your party for the final battle?

So, Isaiah's Balance....
Well, have to admit, I laughed at that one!

Mesmers Are Bad
Awesome content Anet! Loved every second of it, even the first few wipes XD
The Doubleblades are ridiculous, as are the oppressor weapons. Really cool stuff.

Just finished the quest. Agree that for normal mode PvE that it was intense. I think one time through is enough for me. Great fun though.
Apollo Smile
It was a damn fun mission.

On the other hand, I figure the mantle mini's are going to get a lot more difficult to find... I haven't got any of those so far. Maybe I should NOT complete the WiK on one or two chars...

Also the npcs for opressor weapons and such are found inside of LA keep after the battle. Edit: Yay just realized you can dye them.

Going back through Black Curtain after completing the bounty however, there were no WIK spawns. That's the change.

Finished the mish on NM
PANIC IS VERY USEFUL!!!!! That and with constant casting ether nightmare and CoP, I could clear out most non-jade groups.
I had a blast playing the quest on my mesmer, going to try and get some alliance members to beat hm for the hell of it.

I'm disappointed with the new spear skin, I was hoping it would actually match my paragon's gold/white armor cause you know... these are from the WHITE MANTLE, but nooo, they have to go and put silver and RED on it. =(

I've got about 70 medals in storage from all the Royal Gifts I opened and the quests... so I'm now looking forward to seeing screenies of the Oppressor and Commemorative weapons.

That was great. My new ele will love the staff!

The little red bit glows, and on the spear the scythe it moves a little bit and leaves and dim red trail when you move, kind of like the scepter or orr.
Also, while not only big and clunky, the spear is apparently totally unaffected by dye while the other 2 are not.
Fire Hiro
Hoping on some screens of the green skins (Commemorative weapons) as well. I Know how the others look like.
