Gaile just left and I was too late to read the whole conversation, but I got on screenshot:

Quote:

Gaile Gray: The changes that are happening to tombs are permanent. As I said, the world will never be the same.

Also I think I heard her talking about some new emote, but I'm not sure, she might as well have meant the rank 12 emote.

And I too like the update

, some people might even make it to HoH for the first time because of the new Underworld!

The first time those IWAY warriors sent their pets in at my henchmen, I actually said "LOL!" in real life.. >.>

The new update is too fun, but I have things to do today! Must pull... self.. away.. from fighting AI IWAY teams...

I know runes do not stack.
However does this change with armor? example: an executioners helm +1 and a superior axe mastery +3 would be a +4 to axe skills. Does this still apply? or does the non stack prevent this? Or was this just to remind us that Runes do not stack?

Just a reminder! My monk still gets a 16 divine favor... 20percent with gardocks staff, my necro still stacks with his headpiece too.

Gaile mentioned lots of new emotes, I don't think they are rank specific, just fun ones.

1,100 and something viewing...

mega viewing...

I guess a lot of people want info.

Most ever was 1,872 way back in april, probably quite soon before release and during the major build-up...

Considering that and that the average is about 500-600, this is loads, and I expect it will rise.

All items have had their descriptions reworded to avoid confusion.

I have to work until 10 tonight ... man ...

I don't know if I have Guild Wars ESP, but when I left the house today I said "hey, I should bring my laptop" ... man am I glad I did! When my boss leaves at 5, my happy-ass is getting on GW

All the screenies look awesome, I can't wait.

Screwing off at work FTW!

Now when you create a RP character you can select the proficies camplain or THE FACTION ONE! However it says you have to buy GW: Factions before you play that. However I think you might be able to make an assassin that visits the old world.

A place that drops Ecto AND you get to go there with henchies, AND revisit all the Tombs maps AND they are invested with evil! AM I DREAMING?! PINCH ME!?

Wow, and I see hardly any complaints about this update! Great job, Anet.

i think there will be new armors with the same price or even more expencive as fissure armors in factions. the reason for a new ecto fountain must be a new ecto shrink ... guessing ... but its not easy this news areas , had fun in there on my first run got 60 dp real fast , good thing we had a very good monk.he was not good , he was a god monk.we had 3 monks at start , then 1 leaves dont know why , and then another one leaves , and then the odd felling that we are playing better just with one monk , lol .

Okay, I read EVERY post in these 11 pages. Just to confirm here...

Hall of Heroes 'tombs' is now on the Battle Islands, right?

The Hall of Heroes 'tombs' in the desert is now an area akin to Sorrow's Furnace and the Fissure of Woe and the like, right?

I am very glad that I dont have to go in to school tomorrow; now I can enjoy the entire weekend uninterrupted (having A's so you dont have to take the exam rocks).
The addition of new Underworld was a great way to seamlessly both add new greens and to start the introduction to the PvE aspect of Factions. Excellent plan, ArenaNet. And the new Battle Island is brilliant, but I dont like having to use the boat to travel between it and the normal map. It is a minor inconvenience, but it gets annoying.

I just fooled around in the new world a bit and... Oh My God! ANet, you should back off a bit. You are probably making life very difficult for all other game developers out there.

Of course, what I saw must have been the tip of the iceberg, but the sheer quality of your work shines through even in every minor facet of the game (except story and voice-acting, but I'll skip that for now). Hats off you you guys, you are amazing.

By the way, has anyone tried to take a 8-man team from Droknar to Frontier Gate for the Titan quest yet ? At least the teleport upgrade allows people to gather parties for quests and missions in larger towns. And the new login screen music is just breathtakingly beautiful

Yeah that is about right Asrial. The new tombs area is called like Heroes' Ascent or something though, so we don't get to call it "tombs" anymore since "tombs" is a PvE map!~

I would like to know this as well...I beat that DoD titan quest because we used 6 members running from Yak's. Meeting up with enough members for Defend Kryta has been impossible for me...

I'll be quick and brief:

thank you ANet for another great update. this is wonderfull. as a tester, i love the testingzone. the only thing i missed was giving npc's skills to fight against for testing purposes, but heck, you can't have everything.

And this could bring people over to pvp who are unsure about themselves. very good move.
