Update - Thursday, July 7, 2011

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!

Anyone know where the survivors are in Minister Cho's Estate? I reallly dont want to have to drag all over the map.

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.

I'm disappointed...after you said that I was looking forward to a challenge.. they kind of just stood in a ball and panic raped em...

Are the Imperial weapons in this part, or coming at the end?

or do we have no idea =p

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.

Some one post when they find these...

Inscriptable Shields: Echovald, Outcast, and Gothic

or other rare canthan skins like dragon staves, outcasts, etc.

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.

Fans arent foci, but wands ! enjoy

bleh... why did it have to bring us to minister chos estate... hate 4 party groups.

So you could have dual fans!!! ... pwn those hot summer days.

Because it all started from Cho's estate i guess

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?

HM-ing these quests is going to be tough

hard mode is kickin' my butt :V i like it

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!
