Hopefully there'll be a new town at the entrance....journeying through Lonar's Pass everytime doesn't sound appealing.

Hmm... more expensive skills from trainers. I wonder if that includes Signets of Capture as well.

Well they did say "ease of accessibility". Having to hike through Lornar's Pass to get there isn't exactly what I would call "easy".

The update noted that some useless items will become valuable later, anyways I say we form organized explorer groups on the release date and get the exploring and collector locations mapped and ready for gw guru usage

*EDIT* Oh stop being whiny about it, if we were to march through lornar's then so be it. Its easy enough to do when you have a balanced group. I also think that if they will add the location in lornar's then there will be like a quest to go there that involves a travel guide (ex. the piken square ranger guide) that will lead you through safe zones.

That doesn't mean there won't be a use for them. How do you know what those collectors are collecting, for that matter who says it might not be collectors armor.

I would also hope it's more expensive then that....alot more expensive actually. Like fissure armor. Give people a choice on what they want to save their gold for.

We need money sinks anyways.

You mean you're happy there's not another set of armor to try and get? It's a good thing that there's not going to be something in the update many people would probably enjoy? Not saying there won't be other things, but honestly new armor would be neat.

It would sure, but i have been doubting it for a long time now.

Im sure there may be a new armor update, SOMETIME, But this clearly isnt it

Although i would and hope im wrong in this situation, sporting new armor is becoming a fad of mine thats fading fast, *(only FoW and dragon remains for me to purchase, and i hate dragon looks)*

New weapons though. I am wondering what they could add that hasn't been done before... healing based staves? Kind of awkward, but whatever works. I really would like a 20/20 healing staff....

Well, by what the frog said a night or two ago, he/she/it whatever didn't rule it out.

Quote: the frog

"The frog knows not of armor in Sorrow's. He believes the crafters of armor was slain, long ago."

Then he says right after:

"The frog could be mistaken on that, however."

Just being optomistic.

Rangers shure could use some non-bow weapons or offhand items.

They could also just come up with new models for existing weapons types... which is probably what they'll have.

I want a new looking air staff...don't like the look of the current one. And Shadow Staffs don't look right either, nor Ghostly Staffs...

Rubies and Sapphires are crafting items. Can you point out any collector who collects crafting items? Collectors collect things. In the Crystal Desert for example, Minotaur Horns, Irradescent Griffon Wings, Bleach Carapaces, etc. I've yet to see a collector collecting crafting materials, and I've beaten the game, and have logged over 600 hours. That's not to say I missed the ONE collector who wants iron ingots :P. Alas, it has been said, even by the great Frog, that rubies and sapphires will have their day. Hold onto them, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Has anyone noticed the sword that the Ghostly Hero sports? I want that. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Shadowblade Sword return.

It doesn't mean the actual product but only the sound files you get to listen to, in my opinion I think they out did themselves once again on the sorrow and grenth music. Just amazing.

I'm worried about the access point being in Lornar's because you'd leave from Beacon's...and the henchmen there aren't up for a journey through the pass, let alone into the new EAs.

Hmm?

I have heard rumors that the update changes to the map in that area will nerf eary runs to Droks from Beacons. If true you you would have to go from Rankcor to get to the new area thus have to be assended to ever get there.
Which will be better as the henches in Rancor are better suited to the task plus you would have an 8 party group vs 6 from Beacons.

Um...no. Anet endorses rushing. They said it themselves.

I think they just want to force people to go in a human party without actually putting a restriction on.

ok that sucks... everything is so expensive now, causing people to farm for money which in turn causes nerfs to those spots... Now for the average poor GW player... skills are going to cost a lot more now to? wtf is going on? They are making it harder and harder to make money and continue to raise the prices of everything anyway. hows that "stable?"

Woo hoo?

1. New items which will be worth insane amts of gold like the crystalline.
2. The monk staves/rods and other collector items they left out. (Finally)
3. Exp scrolls are worthless to me, so I guess I can toss all my FIC collector items.
4. Probably giving the Glint pad the purpose of teleporting to grenth's.
5. New Vendors: it doesn't specify WHAT they sell, so everyone can still assume there might be an armor crafter.

i met a chap in game who had been shown screenshots of Sorrows Furnace Armor by a Beta Tester.
i know that the frog says that he was slain, but he also says he's not sure.

and besides, being dead gets in no ones way in GW.

I believe this to be true. I love sparkly things, but I believe there will be a value for them beyond being purty.
