IMPORTANT

If you go up to mhenlo (in one of the last 5 missions or so)
and put your camera "in" him, there is a message written.

I cant remember what exactly, but i know it had Chaka in it.
If this has already been posted, i am sorry, but i heard about it earlier today in Tombs and tried it out for myself.


But i think the Zaishen are the protectors of the rift. They have come back to "close" the opening and send us to a new pvp land. Thus, keeping the dead and balthaezar happy.

Chapter 2 will definately be around an asian oriental styled civilization [like how ascalon was european, kryta was african-providences].

The hench armor might be future armor [dont assume, devs do make the all-around decisions]

The samurai warrior was just a showcase for guildwars and to get the japaneese players interested in their upcoming server. The armor might have just been a concept art of some of the armor you will see in Chap2 or it may not.

Everything you know about guildwars regarding armor ratings, weapon ratings, requirements, buffs, debuffs, etc. WILL stay the same. This means that the chapter2 armor will probably have a regular tyrian set/ascended [set name could be changed]/Obsidian armor sets. With [insert new value armor] coming hopefully.

that sword on the male warrior is a standard wingblade sword, and if i recall the female has the same thing...

also i noticed something...if u stand in the shadows just right u can make those swords appear purple by the shadowing was pretty cool...

Its stated that the Elonian nation fell about 200 years ago due to war amongst its people. But perhaps it was more than that....

Yes, that skin in pic #1 is only available to players via the desert collectors. It is a Longsword.

Er, actually i think you can also get it as a collectors rinblade, but that's not max so i don't care.

Huh? New? I've had the same sword for a while, and so has the fighter henchman. Not the same as a brute sword, as someone has already pointed oout. But I'll point it out again just for fun

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is correct, but supposedly, the Commander guy actually has the same name of the Emperor's bodyguard. As I said, I do not know if there is any truth in this ^_^

Not just the desert. I got that sword from a quest or collector in Ascalon.

If some idiot drops from your team (*shakes fist at PUG member*), then they give you one of the old henchmen if you already have the first 4.


Anyway, not much going on... yet.

i didnt see that much bad with the armour in the pic on page 5....

and since the writing was ether chineese, japaneese or korean (cant telllll from the pic, too small) how do you know its not a collectors edition armour for the japaneese market?

(although, i would have thought they might have gone for something a little more..old, like laquered armour ^^ i loved my morrowind set of that ^^)

as to the *the game is going asian* thing....just sit back, chill out and dont worry....i would speculate that Chap2 is the 'oriental adventures' version of GuldWars ^^
so since whe have had euro stlye in Chap1, and possibly oriental in Chap2....
jows about egyptian in Chap3 and Native in Chap4 (so thats leather and cloth and loads of gold then ^^)

In my Computer Gaming World magazine it says that the arenas will be moved to the Battle Isles for both CH.2 and the current version so my prediction is that these Zaishens will be involved in the moving of the arenas sometime before the PvP Weekend

About the "Offline" thing in guild menu....

I have two accounts, both in the same guild. I logged out of #1 and logged into #2. Checked guild menu roster and it said that #1 was "Offline" not the usual "1 minute ago" -- so this affects more than people just setting themselves to offline in the friends menu, it seems.
