Also i though that HoH is some sort of PvP area where bunch of teams compete to win and keep favor. Now HoH is a PvE area....is that correct? people also talked about wining against 3 lv 30 mesmers to get the green...... Where are these bosses? in UW or in HoH or wtf???? Please clear this up for me thanks.

P.S packing up from work early and run home. Gonna be 1.5 hr to get home.......out of all the days it have to snow today
It is not the old UW at all, it looks like the UW, which then leads to scorched earth, which then leads to the courtyard, and I think finally the HoH..

The courtyard looks amazing, first time there

i got a great party. we got to the end. we killed the bosses.

I got a green drop. Victos Axe. But one of my teammates was dead so i ressed him so he could pick up his stuff. But i didnt pick up my stuff in time -.-

Right before i picked it up...i was back at Tombs

Edit:



i wish this "quest" would allow you to get your items at the end of it like a regular mission.

No, seriously: All I think that's going to disappear are any Assassins and Ritualists that are going to be created tomorrow (well, if you have any of the new items on them when that happens...). Altough, when I read the skill description for that new monster skill, I wasn't so sure whether they're acrually serious with this.

I think I remember Gaile Gray saying that everything that you get during the beta you will get to keep if you get it on your paid account (not the free PvP account). However, I'm pretty sure she said that whatever you get will be 'disabled' after the weekend until you get your 'real' Factions key when it comes out. I could be wrong, but I'm 85% sure that's what she said.

And the moral of the story is...?

I'm sorry, but if I have to choose between a brand new hard-to-obtain axe and a dead teammate to resurrect, I will get the axe first.

Ok, well until I hear a definitive word one way or the other I'm not going to make assumptions. I certainly won't be spending any gold on any of these items without being 100% sure they will stick around.

If you could point me in the direction of where you found out they are staying for sure I'd appreciate it.

I think the sword is definitely one of the better melee weaopns they released, the axe is junk but will probably be selling for the most even though sundering is a horrible mod. I think the bow is nice too I just really wish they would make a green Vampiric Horn Bow ^^. And the new shield is pretty excellent.

I saw the bugged 2-grip axe get deleted. Yes, it was a bug, but it still got deleted (well, replaced, and people lost their 20% enchant mods).

Look, I'm not saying that they're going to get deleted or even temporarily disabled for sure. I'm just saying that I'm sure as hell not going to plunk down 200k for an item with a future I'm not 100% certain of.

I'm also not telling you what to do. I'm just old and cautious. I take chances with some things, but not with money or STD's.

There is a new "tombs" in the area of the old one that is now a PvE area. You play through 4 of the tournament maps, except there are now mobs instead of players.

The old tombs is now called Heros Ascent or something, and there are no mobs, only players, just like before.

The end mobs at least drop tons of greens still. They aren't hard themselves - make sure you bring Remove hex for the backfires though. All in all, just get a patient guild group and you'll be fine.

the REASON the new stuff is staying, is it was gonna be there for BOTH chapters... so why take it out again, just to put it back in.

Well, I just finished my first run. I spent 3-4 hours just to get two staves that I can't even use. Oh, by the way, there were four zones on my run, with the Hall of Heroes being the last zone. There are three level 30 Darknesses at the end, and each one drops 3-4 greens.

Kole's Torment (Staff)
--------------
Energy +10
Chaos Dmg 11-22, Req 9 Blood
10/10 Cast/Recharge Time Halves.
Health +30
Energy +5

Illyana's Staff
-------------
Energy +10
Chaos Dmg 11-22, Req 9 Domination
10/10 Cast/Recharge Time Halves.
Health +30
Energy +5

If anyone is interested in trading any of Victo's items for these (except for the Maul), let me know. I have to hit the hay for now, if you want to trade, leave me your IGN.

Edit: Traded 100k from Kole's Staff and Illyana's Staff for Victo's Blade. I love GW again! ^_^

Every update the schmucks claim that the economy will break, blah blah blah. Seriously...when is this doomsday economy crash supposed to happen?

Lower prices are good, people. Stop playing Trade Wars.

i really really want those two bows.

and to clear anything up for anyone who's wondering what the hell is going on, here's a brief explanation:

The Tomb of the Primeval Kings has been corrupted by something that is antagonistic against Balthazar. for the lack of a better word. it's also been changed into a PvE outpost, and the Hall of Heroes entrance has been moved to the Battle Isles. look south of LA on the map for an entrance.

it's your job (as usual) to kick the ass of whatever is causing it.

more henchmen have been added so you can go in with a full party of 8.

as far as i know, you move through each of the PvP maps, clearing out mobs of incredibly difficult monsters. these monsters have been equipped with a VERY powerful skill called fingers of chaos. i'll find a description later.

once you reach some sort of endpoint, you have to face these "Darkness" monsters that randomly drop these new green items.

Good night, and Good luck.

Go here, click on the third image, it's about 2/3 of the way down.

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