Update - Thursday, November 18, 2010 (updated)
Verene
The costumes are a bit pricier for the full pack this time around because there's more costumes than in previous ones. So yeah, it's going to cost a bit more.

I don't want to stumble on any spoilers in this thread since I haven't finished the new stuff, but to anyone that returns to Gwen and sees her repeating dialogue in an endless loop, rezone in the HoM. I went out and the next item didn't appear. I had to go back and made sure she didn't bug out. A bit annoying when doing it the hard way without wiki.

It was a challance to do it. Why change it.. If those who couldn't do it, joint
propper guilds it would be even fun... Why o why ??
The worst part is... And don't get me wrong couse every extra quest is a bonus. But every time when there is a update for some reason I allways
check the number of hero's I can ad... but again
owell.Better luck next time.
And good job at the quests. not so good at the Change of the battle

Honestly, should the GW:B new content be so challenging that a majority of the casual players get too frustrated to play it? I understand we hardcore gamers enjoying some tougher areas, but again, is THIS content the appropriate place to employ such a thing? I don't believe it is. With this update, even when said to be easier, I actually still believe that BfLA and probably Temple are near the peak of difficulty when we're talking about the kind of content it is - which is new stuff for everyone to experience and a tie to GW2.

BLA HM became a joke after this update. It was the one area in the game that you could h/h that had yet to be completed h/h, and its sad to see the challenge gone. First thing i did when i logged on today was h/h it in HM, and i complete it on my first try =\. It's depressing really to see a bit of challenging content toned down to such an extent because people cant learn to play the game after 5 years.

I think if they just had uped the level of the henchies that would have been sufficient for most peeps having troubles with bla---and infuse them.
Have yet to try the new easy mode, but if the other new quests turn up something worth more than medals of honor and war supplies (xp and gold coins) I might just finish on one of the others.

Love the wedding dress! Hate the glitch!
It's a problem we have seen with a lot of armors over the years, but this dress should probably be fixed since it costs nearly $10. I don't usually play zoomed in, so it's a little annoying.

It's still reasonably challenging, but I'd put it as an easier area compared to Forgewight HM.

Totally makes sense.

Now if they would just update again to fix the Salma not giving quests bug we can all get along.

They give a tuxedo for female but not a wedding dress to male?
NerfHerder
So I got the new costumes this morning and now I see what everyone is talking about. The male characters got robbed. I understand the 2 versions of the wedding set. At least you dont have to waste a black dye. But the dapper and formal sets are exactly the same. There was no point in giving us both. Was the dapper set supposed to be black? That would make since.
EDIT: I'm happy with the way it looks, I always am with Anets art/costume design. And the female costumes are amazing, if your into that kind of thing. Gj as always, but a duplicate set?

After awhile, go out and come back in. Then the dialogue should go through it's normal course of one go-through and you should be able to continue on again. If this is the case, I'm wondering if perhaps the third item is under the same conditions as the second, in which, when Gwen is in a never-ending loop, said item does not spawn as it would normally when Gwen only goes through her speech a single time. |

As humorous as the mental image of a big beefy wammo in a wedding dress is, I don't think Anet wants to open that can of worms.
On the topic of cost, I'm fine with paying $15 for the complete set. I'm female and so are all my characters. I got three costumes to choose from. I can't say that I'd feel so great about my purchase if I was a guy and only played male characters. Their outfits aren't bad... they just don't look very different and there's only two.
I guess there's always the option of buying one set, but I'd avoid the wedding one because of the $3 extra that you have to pay for the shinies on it.

I'm really starting to hate the direction GW is moving.
There has been a lot of work on costumes, and we've only seen one significant skill update in 6 months. The content is starting to seem less like GW and more like....fan service.
I feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from whatever the hell Anet thinks their target audience is.

I like new content and new costumes. I don't know if this particular costume set caught me on a bad week or something but I just can't bring myself to buy it because I feel as though it's not exotic or fantasy-ish enough T_T;;
I loved the other costumes but I can't imagine any of my characters using any of these costumes though. D'oh.
EDIT:
This too, a part of me also doesn't want to support Anet until they at least address some of the major frustrations in the game lately
and at least deliver the dervish update...

Double-Edged sword for sure. I am happy for all of the people that like the costumes and such, and the new content for WiK/Crisis in Cantha is awesome, but that doesn't change the fact that there has been only 1 significant skill update since the TK started a year ago.
We were told we were getting a skill update every 2 months and that it was feasible to do every two months because of the TK. What happened with that?
I am completely stoked and completely let down at the same time.
P.S. The new male Mesmer armor is really cool.

As stated in my early post *points downward* my ranger is still having this issue. Has anyone else gotten this too? is it a bug or is it rotten luck for me?
okay this is bugged too. my ranger was on the second WiK quest so i grabbed the thing from murro in la. it made me do a few dialogs and now its saying kill these mantle. but i already killed them and turn in the quests. so i dropped the wik quest and now i cant get it back. and the log is still not updating. ;/

Paragons still suck. Even in tuxes.
I'm starting to sympathize with those who don't like this new direction, but as long as the costumes are kept optional and are accompanied (or preempted) by new content, I'll be alright. I just hope the Keiran quests are going somewhere good. Seems like they are so far.

Still have 2 toons to take thru WiK and was wondering about something now.
After 7 toons in total allready thru it I kinda got into a groove to "jumpstart" WiK with the dialogs. I'd witness them in the following order as soon as EotN was finished :
- Port to vloxen and witness Zinn's Trial.
- Port to EotN and rezone into the HoM to go thru all of Gwen/Thackery's stuff
- Do the scavenger hunt
- Watch final Gwen/Thackery dialog.
- Move to the Shinning Blade Camp and watch 3 dialogs (Initial one, Livia/Evennia leaving, Livia returning with the Asura) skipping quite a few here
- Port back to Eotn and watch Evennia meeting the Ebon guys.
- Port to LA and enter the keep, watch the Ebon folks ariving and it was quest time!
Now after all that blabla, what I'm wondering, is this still possible at all, or are these guiding quests actually going to prolong it all by forcing me to watch stuff between quests ?

So at first I was like "lol, i'm not the kind of person who wants to put their video game toon in a wedding dress, i won't buy these!"
Then I was like "oh snap, a top hat. that's like one of my most requestd item! i will buy these!"
But then I was like "this top hat does not have a monacle! wtf??! i won't buy these!"
And that's my story. ;-)

I did get the wedding pack mainly because I... well, I don't know why. Because I could I suppose - and I do like the wedding couple dress. I must admit that the tuxedos seem a bit out of place but oh well.
go cubs
So new build so im guessing the 3rd one was added. Meh with the costumes, too expensive for not that great costumes but whatever. Really want a skill update or something but i guess new content is alright

If the top hat had a monocle and a mustache, I would sell my third testicle to buy it.

Not saying that I like PvP getting neglected (though, you did just get an update that fixed quite a few persistent issues...), but if they're going to favor one mode over another, they're going to favor PvE.

Third item is in Ettin's Back, somewhere behind Ventari's Refuge. Look for a sword.
