I'm taking a break from WoW (all that grinding is getting to me) and I was thinking of getting back in to GW.

Now, the last time I played was late in the summer. I'm wondering if there have been any major changes since then. Now, I know Sorrow's Furnace is out, but I haven't played it yet. Is it any good?

Are there any new skills, missions, PvP arenas, PvP types, or gameplay mechanics?

Many adjustments in skills for the PvP complainers that made PvE even more interesting and by that I mean worse. Thats my opinion anyway. Hench are getting dumber, enemies are getting smarter (go figure) no new missions other then those with Sorrow's Furnace update that I know of. Characters and skills stuff has been tweeked but nothing "WOW" other then toggable capes finally which I have turned mine off heh.

Unless you are a minion master, a monk, or want to farm green items then don't try out Sorrow's Furnace. If you have a good guild and few friends who want to try out SF quests with you then i say go for it.


(ps dont ask them about the AI changes :P)

Once, within 1 month they changed ~110 skills!!!!

You gotta love all the noob warriors with their avenged suicide pets in the tombs!!!!!

And all npcs running around randomly for no good reason but some area damage, like exploding arrows.

And spirit spamming enemies with cry of frustration in sorrows furnace!

And fighting groups of 6-8 level 26 enemies with a party of 4 in ascalon!

If you're fighting 6 - 8 at a time then obviously you aren't doing something right, I've never fought this many at once when doing the two Titan quests in Ascalon properly.

I agree, they must have killed all the titans down into hands/fists and got ganged on...fools :P
