Anyone know if anything comes after the Cho quest?
Tanith
Is anyone else starting to hate Initiate Leeroy Jenkins as much as me? And why does he look like a space alien?
Swingline
one thing I truly luv is zei ri... when your party wipes he keeps rezzing in the middle of the mob and dying... fueling the afflicted minions... /endsarcasm

I have the initiate draw aggro for me, he is quite useful in that regard.
I haven't had problems with the enemy minions so far, but you can easily bring Verata's Aura and wipe them out with their own higher leveled chaff.
EDIT: now that I think about it, the mesmers' AoE enchant removal death bomb might make that a bit of a PITA, though I'm sure its still helpful.

and the enchantment removal makes my melee monk too weak,
BUT upsides:
New quests!
Easy in NM, fun in HM, awsome purple inscribables (cool skins in there dude)
Imperial weapons to come.
Moar story for my lore hunger.
Lvl 28 helpers, take that poor lvl 20 WiK scoundrels!
Announcing an epic battle on the official website, I'm sure they are going to make BFLA look like a mere scrimmage!
And it's only 1/3rd of the stuff to come!
loving you anet

After reading this from the FAQs area of WoC
I think the Initiates will turn against Cantha,
idk just a theory.

I hope they give Imperial Commendations a good new use besides Superioer salvage kits. And something to get more of them, like the Wanted quests. I really enjoy those dailies

haiju lagoon is incredibly difficult. standing in the water gives u a debuff that deal 25 dmg per skill activated :\
then to make matters worse about 5 groups come at you at once. thank god its over once hes done channeling.

After completion of the Seitung Harbor ones , the Zei Ri lets you do Rhea Crater

Has anyone seen how the focus of purity skin works? The icon in Iza Yoi's list looks like chromium shards. But daggers are visually in both hands, whereas a focus is, well, not. Anyone gotten them yet?

Haven't chopped up so many afflicted in a loooong time. I'm at Rhea's atm and im hoping that not all of these quests are clear the area then go to the next.
Its been fun so far, though after 10 quests of doing the same thing its starting to get a little repetitive.

Anyone know where to go after the Xan Hei quests? He mentions something along the lines of a Herald of Purity in Kaineng Center but I can't find him.

You're done for this arc, Errant. Now try Hard Mode
Ludmila
Out of curiosity, how are the spawns affected with characters in two separate parts of the story? Say one person is on a WoC quest, and another hasn't completed Factions? Will everything be the old or new spawns?
No one is on in my guild for me to check it myself...

Pretty much my feelings for the past few hours. I will be glad when this is over. Wont be doing it again.

So I guess GW is exempt from the GW2 model where you dont have to go here & kill x amount of creatures & return for a reward just to do the same thing again with different text. I know we dont have x amount of creatures to kill, but its the same thing over & over & over & over.

If it's the same after completion, and whatever replaces the afflicted are more difficult than what used to be there, I'd suggest making sure you VQ an area before doing these quests if you want an easier time of it. JIC you can't find a way to go back to previous spawns.

here's to hoping the second arc will be better
Da Kenster
My understanding was the areas would revert to their normal spawns after you defeated the quests, as in beating the normal mode returns the normal mode spawns and hard mode returns the regular hard mode spawns. If anyone can clarify, since I haven't really started, that would be great.
I'm also curious about possible new greens and what the commendations can be used for in future updates.

But I apparently missed the note on the wiki that says "Hard mode versions of explorables are not altered until the hard mode version of the quest is completed."

*hides*
Onto the topic, I'll wait till they present more content and do it all at once. So far the comments here don't look too compelling to me.
Stolen Souls
That was...incredibly underwhelming. o_o
I'm guessing the actual fun stuff will be in the next parts. Hope it's not another 6+ months until part 2. =x

Ugh, the Haiju Lagoon mission is pretty damn awful. Anyone have any tips on how they tackled it?
The new missions are nice and all, but I hope this is the only arc where we're forced with a limited party size.

The quests with Xan Hei are much better and very enjoyable. Though there are far too many cleansing ones.

There are 2 more Imperial quests in arc 1 after Light My Fire.
