That's rather sudden. Kinda expected them to do a little build up before it, but I'll be happy when it hits.

Unexpected! Good find, Wyndy.

But... they say the story will unfold later today. For all we know we are getting a blogpost or something (though I'm hoping for a gameplay update as well.)

Actually it just says "very soon" and "The story unfolds later today.". So maybe we'll get just a part today...but who knows...maybe the whole thing.

Hopefully the second part will be better then the first one.

I found it appalling: tedious, frustrating and rather poorly written...

I certainly hope to see something new here... part one was "insert quests and mobs here and go kill them"... challenging none the less... but really boring when all the quests are practaclly the same... except the courior quest... loved that one

cant wait...would really like to know where this is going (and yeah, hope the quests are better, only managed to get one character thru the whole tedious mess of the first set)...
whether its more story today or the actual quests I will be happy that its moving forward finally.

Over the past few days the GuildWars twitter account has been sending out quotes from random NPCs from WoC.

I was actually surprised no one made a thread about it after the first message was sent out.

All I want is that last quest of part one to be completely remade as a sneaking mission. Then I will be satisfied.

I wonder if the first part quests need to be done before doing the second part. They were so boring...

Ok Part 2 starts out even more frustrating than Part 1. Gratz Anet.

I feel like someone is going to find the Jade Brotherhood's suicide bombers insensitive.

Just FYI, I'm not failing nor I failed the quest, I simply found it rather annoying at first (frustrating ≠ unbeatable), pretty much like all the previous quests.

On the positive side, some decent narration at last, and the story is finally picking up pace.

Too bad that first part is so annoyingly boring.
Completed only on a single char in nm, and didn't even finished hm. And not for difficulty, just for boredom...
That's kinda a shame. Cause new looks waaay better so far.

You get a silver zaishen coin, and some cash, for one quest. From the she-sin. Strange.

I actually intend not to start Part II yet. I'm currently working on my Mesmer with completing missions in Hard Mode and some assorted dungeons as well.

However, I'll simply ask this: Is it vastly different from Part I, or has it been just another ride on the carousel of craziness?

Well, first quest leaves a kinda WTF impression. You're there listening a dialogue, then suddendly start fighting.
After first 10 mobs dead, appears on quest list: "Escape from Minister of purity" and then see like 40 of them clumping on stairs where you'd like to pass trying to get you.
Using interesting build too (double elites-maybe 3 profs-sinergyes.....got a spirit rift followed by 3 invokes). Seems like they're slighlty bugged tho (they keep running around for 30 secs before actually try to kill ya) and some can be avoided.

But seems way better than part 1 anyway so far. At least isn't a "Go there, kill every Afflicted you can see, get reward".

I just finished watching the Jade and Am Fah become buddies in the Bazaar and the Guardsman didn't give me any more quests after that. Is that all we got? 6 quests?

Should be 11 quests. See Miku again in Shenzun Tunnels.

Malchior - 11? What is the last one about?


Also, the late quests give lockpicks and shiny stones for destro weapons and vabbian armor :3


e: nvm, didn't count them, but yeah, finished em all.
Much better than the first WoC part in terms of gameplay and plot. I didn't like all the necessary running, especially later, going all the time to the Angchu Village for rewards, but that's the only flaw.

You get a decent amount of cash like 18k 8 lockpicks and commendations and the new imperial requestion which will probaby be for a new weapon. Thing is though it ends kinda stupiedly. The other thing that irks me is when miku shows up our characters decide THIS IS WRONG MUST FIGHT STOMP STOMP (Bring Kieran and Gwen you will get a extra scene).

War In Kryta Cool I understand mantle evil tried to kill me. Ministry do wrong we must FIGHT THEM NOW.

But overall Yes it nice to get some new content took about 2 hours to do it all.
So its not to trouble some

So you find them annoying, how is that that Anet's fault? I didn't find them annoying at all, and rather enjoyable
