I was kinda hoping the new bosses would bring new skills, but I guess not =/
Still looks promising for the PvErs though.

Christ, another follow the suicidal NPC quest? Sweet.

Yeah, that's what I would've guessed. The six named bosses with a new elite skill each. Oh well, this might look fun, although I bet PuGs here will be a big pain, given that the average PuG can barely handle missions in ascension. Can't wait to give this a try.
Red Locust
Wow, I've pretty much signed off of PvE, but this looks amazing. Definitely looking forward to it.

it seems to me alot of people have ether left guild wars or went to PvP

Eventually, plot twists and turns will change the landscape of the fiction and place heroes on the path to victory over the Stone Summit dwarves, but not without a serious fight. |

Finally, no more chest farmers. I applaud you ArenaNet. Wasn't the key idea mentioned on here first? I know for a fact that someone suggested it a while ago...is that where Anet got the inspiration from?
Anyway, IGN have made the update sound really exciting...much better info than the usual "you will like it". (no offense Gaile )
Sounds like one hell of a nasty place to venture. I have my protection monk on standby!! I bet FoW will look like a picnic compared to this baby.
[Looks at clock]
So, the keys are key to the replayability then. Hunt often in sorrows furnace...get more keys and reap more rewards. This sounds like a good idea.
Lets hope that Anet have made the chest items "MAX with best mods" and not some crummy rare 14-21, +15>50, -5 energy, fellblade.
That one point damage make the difference to almost everyone.
All us farmers have to do is endure the dreaded PUG again.
I can see the nearest town to the furnace turning into a badass noobtrap...far worse than the desert.
[Looks at clock again...damnit, only 30 seconds elapsed]
I wonder what tweaks will appear in the rest of Tyria.
I've been up all night, it's 6:15 AM and now i'm all hyped up again! Coffee or bed, coffee or bed? Hmmm....

now the waiting begins again, like waiting for the game to start up, then waiting again when it crashed(i believe that was when the forums here had the most people on ever, i was here, complaining about the timezones and not knowing when it would be fixed )

In the evening? Whew, I won't have to skip classes.
Oops, didn't realize the thing was 3 pages long. This sounds intense (although I'm not entirely thrilled about the don't let the NPC die thing). 30-40 quests? Did I read that right? Augh, it didn't reveal the exact location although there has been speculation naturally about where it may be.
The key thing sounds like a great idea. The fact that each person (as long as they have a key) gets something from the chest is just superb.

Once a sacred place for the dwarves of Deldrimor, the peak itself has been completely dismantled, and the land torn open to get at the precious metals beneath the soil. The Stone Summit have dug deep into the Shiverpeak Mountains. Underneath the stripped, barren land, are the all-but-depleted mining shafts of Sorrow's Furnace. |

Time for more vast treks into the snow, although instead of being fuelled by desire for rare items and elite skills, it is exploration that compels us to go forward into the mists.

hmm ? perhaps quests for those who finished the game to go kick some Titans butt's who escaped (wouldnt want em going round killing everything you fought for to protect now would you ?
Esprit
I can see it now, trade channels being flooded with, "WTS keys! Only 50k!"
I can't wait for the update, it looks like it will be fun.

I guess these things will be answered when the update is released.
GraceAlone
The keys sounds good, but I agree with Jaythen, how available will they be? Hopefully it's something that can be purchased from a merchant and is a "common" loot drop
Esprit
Key drops, as common as ecto and shard drops.
I don't mean to sound like I am bashing the keys, I really think it's a good idea, and a chest should require a key to open in any case, I am just curious on 1) Drop rate and 2) value. Though drop rate and value will work hand in hand.
If chests give nothing but valuable items or useful items, then buying them at the merchant would mean a large price.
Another intersting idea, would the keys be specific to an area? For example, would you be able to open chests in Shiverpeaks, with keys from Ascalon? Or would keys be tied to certain parts of the map? Like, you'd get a message when trying open a chest, "Requires Lvl 18 key or higher to open.". So monsters in Ring of Fire might drop level 20 keys, and you'd be able to open any chest level 20 or below.

I think the keys idea is great too and should really cut down on the bot farmers! However I don't want something with the same drop rates as ecto and shards...I'll never get one! I'd pay 1k for a key from a merchant because what I'd get from the chest could make that back plus some

Ya, nice, SF on IGN already. Are IGN Anet's main customers? No. Why give them access to the update first? Dumb. Anet just keeps proving how little they know about gaming. The few people that are left playing the game got a little excited about the update. Instead of giving it to them lets sell it to a commercial company and let them spoil it, even before Guild Wars customers (the money payers, the bosses!!!) get to even have a look. Thanks Anet. much appreciated again. You nerf the economy, you nerf the fun, you nerf everything. Why create a great game and then spend all your time trying to ruin it???? Its beyond me. Oh well. Night Night. Hope IGN had fun.
In fact, I really can hardly be RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed with this game anymore.

holy crap but that looks good.
i will most definately be sick tommorow...
oh and irongate: i couldn't care less what you think. everything anet have done has been beneficial in the long run IMO. and games and updates are ALWAYS previewed first by sites like IGN so not sure what you are trying to suggest...

you probably have in the area of 10 hours before theupdate comes through. obviously i do not have the exact tiem they will update howver most of the updates have come about 7 PM central time. being 9:20 right now we hve 10 hours or so if they stick to the same schedule.
Dazzler
Are the quests repetable like UW/FoW? Or are they like normal quests that you only do once? I am asking because there are aLOT of new quests and the IGN article made it sound like you needed to do most of them before you could get to the final boss fight. Well...I only have about 3hrs a day I can play and so I know there is no way I can crank through 30+ quests in that time period, considering how hard this is supposed to be....so I am hoping I can work on it for a few nights and slowly get closer to the final fight!
Btw, I have a Monk or an Ele looking for adventures tonite!
