Sweet. Unlike Niz, that definitely whetted my taste for the release.
Yeah, that boss at the end... I imagine it'll be a tough take down. Make sure you have a Cap sig on hand!
Absolutely beautiful, the landscape et.al.

Eh, looks alright.
Whatever that big metal thing is at the end (dropping lava on you from above) better drop good.

ooo. aaah.
that new baddie looks nice. like a hybrid between mergoyles/giants. = one ugly but big baby...hehe.
that lavabot looks more like just a background boss which can atk the players/have an affect on the gameplay, but it might not be attackable by players, from its positioning. (thats just from looking at the vid).
would be nice to have more "glint-like" bosses to fight with.
-cheers.

Wow this game looks so much better when it's not being run on MY computer......
I like that new boss, seems like a giant metal gollum sort of thing. I also agree with Starsky, that it seems like just somthing in the back round. Actually seemed kinda cheap to me.

I dont think the video says much at all :/
Nizzim
yeah im not impressed by this that much
one new monster and a map thats just a gay mix between the southern and northern shiverpeak missions
not to mention a metal monster that drops lava on you

2 questions -
1. will the summer update just have the new maps, or will it also have new items, armors, etc? (i'm pretty sure i read that it wont have spells, not sure about items though)
2. release date?

I would imagine the release date will be sometime after the 10th, since that's when they announce the winners of the Brand the Boss contest

As for release date, it should be out in a few weeks I suppose...

The cinemtics, like the last Sorrows Furnace one and the ones before release, have always been done very well. The area looks pretty tasty
The boss looks cooler than Glint and The Lich combined! w00t. I wonder what kind of story line there will be for something so huge. Does it shoot laser beams out its head?
I'm hoping that the reward for beating it will be UAS (or UAS for primary and seconday prof or UANS - unlock all normal skills). That would be a sweet reward.
I'm gonna beat it first

Sunrazor
UANS would indeed be a suitable reward, and this is coming from a PVE player who hates it when PVP people whine about not having the skills they want.
MSecorsky
Well, can't be something that would take too much away from future releases... unless vol. II presents a whole new batch of skills and the like...

well that looks amazing, the boss seems like it is in the background, but you never know if you'll be able to attack it (might have a growing bridge like the vine seeds)
it better give golds all the time, or i wont bother ^^ j/k

The first one is new, the second one is old.
I wish they would show more of Grenths Footprint, we just keep seeing Sorrows Furnace, which just seems to be underground Shiverpeaks with 100 times more ladders and crossings and lava.
Grenths Footprint looks like it will be like the catacombs from Pre-searing. Which is cool. I loved those. Just wish they'd show us a bit more on that.

There will be new areas, new quests, new enemies and new items in the summer update. That is the only thing confirmed, thus that is the only thing I will believe.

Wow some of you guys are so harsh. Why? I see complaints before new content, and I see complaints after new content. Maybe some of you guys should make your own game
Gaile once said the update will have lots of quests (yay ) and a lot of them are more compelx and are actually like missions rather than quests! I am personally extremely excited, and I am hoping we get some more new information like some examples of the quests and such
One thing is scaring me though. In that video I saw one new type of monster (and a boss). I just hope we get more new creatures than that (I am sure that video has just scimmed the surface of Sorrows Furance)
In all honesty, I think this update is a preview of the expansion content coming out next year. The graphics in the video are HIGHLY updated compared to some of the older parts of the game, and I am sure the level design will be fantastic, and we will see some good drops and cool quests :P Which we will probably see in the expansion.
Just give them some more time before people jump to conlusions about it being bad. And one of the alpha testers hinted to the fact that it is awesome

Will the update include stuff like the auction house, the system for looking for parties, etc?

I'm excited and can't wait. For the rest? If nothing else, it will give all the complainers something NEW to crab about.
