personaly i love challenging difficulty of sf the primary missions and gf are imho a little bit easy with a half decent team (but we all know how hard it can be to find even a quarter decent team sometimes ie no rushers or leavers) but once the primary quests are out of the way and you go into sf for the secondary quests the area takes on a new form of difficulty and i for 1 love it the dredge armys are amazing with like 2-3 different monsters for the same profession ie the scout rangers and the spirit rangers and its almost immpossible to get 1 group alone + i kept killing the different monk build chars and they still kept getting res'd + love the green weps i dont use e-bay so couldnt afford to finnish my collections before just a shame there are no green chaos/crystaline or storms out there

feel free to tell us what you realy liked in this update and even the whole game in general.

p.s. could the mods pls remove any whiner posts as i made this thread as a small sign of gratitude to a.net for all there hard work especialy when to many ppl seem to forget that were playing this game for free and therefore a.net are not obliged to do anything but work on the expansion for there next pay check and yet just look at the amount of free content they just gave us after months of work they didnt realy need to do.
so only good thing to be entered if you wish to whine go to 1 of the many "bored with my life need some 1 to have a dig at" threads and post there

oh and by the way im flame proof so dont waste your time you wont get any reply from me.

i like the idea of being able to walk among Stone Summit without being attacked.

i love the conversations like how they are worried that the forgeman will take their jobs, how 'old flamewhip' gets a bad rap and how wroth yakslapper kicked another bosses butt after during a card game...

I am probably the only one that likes the green items, just a lil rack of things for me to collect ^^.

I don't want to be a whiner, I like Killroy, he's funny as hell, but I just don't like how they had to go and rip WoW's Leeroy

people buying up teh enslavment stones and trading them in for scrolls and driving the scroll price in half, I just saved alot of money on my scrolls of experiance by switching to the update.

Can Killroy do the robot? that would be the bomb yo

Yeah, I really like that the monk enemies use ressurection spells, it makes it alot more 'realistic'.
What annoys me though is that the new scrolls that drop from bosses or come from collectors are not bought by the scroll trader. They still only want the original ones.

It's hot in here, slave. I need a cold one. Fetch me one, and make it cold. Got it?

~~~

Not the fact that all you have to do is kill a few Dredge and smash Ice Golems, but the fact that you're a slave, being ordered around, is fun...

Wait, that sounds a bit wrong. I'll just shut up now and go get some more green weapons.

The green items and the chests were the best thing that could happen to guildwars. They totally locked down those persons who demanded over 2 millions for some item in game just because its damage modifier is +15 % instead of +14 %. Oh geeez, sickos o_o

Just about everything - the titan quests are cool, the sorrows furnace quests have much much better AI than the other areas and are good fun, the green items are a great carrot to get everyone keep playing, the chest keys are a good money sink and much better than previously and the removal of attribute refund points is superb.

Now all they need to do is come up with some equally cool PvP stuff like new maps, new play styles etc. and everyone will be happy, or playing the wrong game

I think the most important thing about sorrows furnace and the update in general is that it really does up the anticipation for the expansion, if this is what they produce with a free update, what wonders will be in a $45 one?

The fact that the quests can be done with henches, unlike UW and FoW...

Oh yeah, and the death of attribute refund points....

The Yakslapper. (It means freedom from being the heal monk for me. I HATE healing. I much prefer prot, but prot weapons are not so easy to come by.)

Seriously... Killroy Stonekin is awesome. I playful nod to a hilarious video.

They didn't exactly "rip it off" from WoW either... the same situation could have been filmed in just about any online game. Leeroy just happened to be in WoW.

That Kilroy quest was CLASSIC. Especially at the end when he runs in and aggro's all 3 mobs and you're sitting there going "Godamnit Kilroy!" The Get Me a Cold One quest was kinda funny too.

Green items are great, and I'm glad they made purples and golds a little more common, at least in Grenth's and the Furnace. I don't like or want to farm, and I almost NEVER got anything good doing skill caps, so it's nice to be able to get some pretty solid stuff a little more regularly. It's gotta be nice for the PvP crowd too, with more drops their odds of dropping something to unlock is a lot better now. That and the better faction gain, they should be happy with that part of things for awhile to come.

So yeah, overall, excellent update!

As far as quests go, Killroy is a classic... but the one I like best is "Last Days Dawn". Just what I was hoping for, being able to fight Charr in their own skin (15k Ascalon) without killing them in 2 hits. I loved seeing Adelbern pwn Armeggedon lords, also XD

One thing I don't understand, though, is the "Defend Denravi" quest... Remember, the White Mantle and Mursaat completely burned Denravi down, thus the Shining Blade fled to the Southern Shiverspeaks? I mean yeah... I guess they could repopulate the place, but it sure doesn't look like it was under any attack of some sort...

I liked the Infiltration quest the best. Being buddy buddy with the stonesummit while I observed their hideout was amazing, not to mention doing quests for them.

I really like the new attribute refund system.

Oh, and I also love my yakslapper. Not so much because of the stats, but that I FINALLY have a weapon on my monk that doesn't look like that goofy curley-Q "S" staff.

Let's see.....

The Titan quests are great. Droknar was so-so, but Denravi was INTENSE. I've tried Kryta, which was equally intense, but we lost, and that all I've done so far.

The Yakslapper. Not the weapon itself, but the name is awesome. I love wielding my Yakslapper!

Sorrow's Furnace, naturally. I've only done Alkar's quest at the moment, but it was, to say the least, incredible. Some of the most fun I've ever had on Guild Wars, period. If this is what the quest that no one seems to mentions is like, I can't wait to see the others!

Music is awesome. 'Nuff said.

Infinite Refunds, Sorrow's being a dungeon like catacombs, Guilds now better in many ways especially since you can invite people, Grenth's Footprint not being just one laid out path but having alternate and weaving routes, chests rewarding good items and green items to allow us to PVP and have fun and also unlock a lot of runes.

I loved the update, only thing is the 1 plat per skill (1PPS) which is kind of like moving the attribute refunds barrier to the other end. So that kind of reeks.

I seriously love the whole update. But if I had to choose I would say infinite refund points would come out on top, with honourable mentions to stone summit conversations (between themselves), Killroy (I think this one may fade tho) and the titan quests (I mean, I love the idea of going back to those places for a decent reason, not just the Frog).

Anybody can be a moron on a vid chargin mobs but Leeroy Jenkins was different because he screamed LEEEEEEROOOOOY JENKINSSSSSS on voice" then charged while his group was yapping (although fake but amusing nevertheless).
