One thing I noticed... there's a new Imperial Guardsman named Lei Jeng that's in the Dragonguard armor as opposed to the Ministry of Purity guy.. he offers a new quest(s) too but they reward Imperial Commendations rather than the new Commendation...

Is that WAI? Imperial Commendation, the same ones you use to buy like ID kits and salvage kits?

Concerning weapons... Keep this in mind.

(Off the Winds of Change FAQ on GW Website)
"Players will be able to acquire weapons from two new sets, including the never before seen Imperial weapons."

So don't worry, these purples are just some fun goodies for the time being!

I wasn't aware there would be multiple parts, so I guess this is just mechanism to let people get inscribable versions of uninscribable faction weapons. That's kind of cool I guess, but it will still tank the price of uninscribable fans (didn't realize the jitte was a dagger), which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

Cheap 20/20 Domination paper fan, here I come! I happen to like the new costumes too, thinking about buying the double pack since it's limited.

id still like to know if this will end up like wik. where if you want more weapons and run of chars to do it on..you end up having to buy from people. which will make the price for them rises and stay high.

White AA lines are present, just like with any armor/costume after EotN.

Prices were high because of the HoM.

That said...will the Imperial Weapons fit in the HoM as well?

I'm really happy for dual batons. But I'm scared of spending my commendations since I might miss out on the more expensive items!

Are there any means of obtaining them outside the primary quests?

More costumes. Really, I understand Anet needs to make some money and I am thankful for the free actual content we do get, but at some point you'd think people would get tired of buying these dam overpriced things.

I need to read more closely next time. Well I guess that changes things quite a bit, and for the better.

Many players seem to enjoy the costumes. It's win-win, really.

I know almost any 7 hero team works in NM but what are you guys using in HM with your heroes? There must be some great hero teams for HM!

He doesn't agree with the costumes being enough content worth the $10. If I were paying $10, I would have expected another bonus mission pack or something similar to that.

Just an update to say, the new costumes dye really well, and it's recommended to wear the helm with the dragon costume at all times, otherwise.. tiny apple head.

Imperial Sword and Shield? I think so.

This is Lei Jeng. The guy with the quest that nobody seems to be noticing and hasn't been added to Wiki yet.

Done up to the 3rd mission HM so far. Seems balanced (for sufficiently broad post-NF measures of balance that is). Needing to finish the NM quest to do the HM one is a PITA though, can't we combine both of them and just have it like the Zaishen stuff is?

This update so far isn't that fun...it's just go here, kill afflicted, rinse, repeat. The only difference now is that even on normal mode they hit like a freaking truck.

I already did this, it was called beating Guild Wars Factions and vanquishing Cantha.

It's a fun quest, but note you have to find the drakes in a fixed order.

So how are primary Dervishes faring? I'm going through the quests on my Assassin and it's impossible to keep SoH up for more than two attacks.

Oh, and does the DLC dragon armor look alright on normal sized characters? I don't want to waste money if it acts like the Shining Blade costume.
