So many new bling, so little time!

I hope they eventually add repeatable quests, because I find walking around killing enemies for trophies rather boring when there's no objective in the quest log.

OK, here's how I feel about the quests in NM.

1 not hard, the melt before my DPS and the help of Jinnai

2 I failed quit a few times because not knowing the distance you should stay in during the dialog and the route to run out.

3 Just be aware of the bosses' AOE, especially Reisen the Phoenix wiped my party once, gladly we were able to rez up and finish him.

4 Easy

5 Easy

6 The most difficult one in part 3, wiped me twice so I dropped my ST rit and bring another MM and use the bomb a lot then finished it.

7 It's like a joke, Reiko seems unkillable but she not causing much trouble to my team and all the sudden she's dead.

They should make the previous quest to defend MoP rather than Tengu's attack, that makes more sense.

This sums it up pretty well:

It's such a great shame that in over 5 years, including a large expansion (EotN) there have been almost no new weapons added that I'd really want to get (only more of the same with different, not really "better" looks) and that the biggest addition to the game item-wise that made me enjoy it for a moment almost like it was 2005 again was something unintended (the Mausoleum 2010 incident). Shame that most of the coolest "virtual treasures" to hunt for are things of the past coming from 2005-2006 content, and many not dropping anymore at all. I don't believe it's impossible to innovate without making things that would be strictly better than what's currently the best.

At least the gameplay of the new quests is pretty enjoyable, but I don't see myself doing it more than once.

The quests were fun, the mobs were done well, but it's just not new. The spear brought something cool: the hope that they would introduce new, cool greens with controversial stats or stuff like that. With the fix, all that hope was lost. I thought they'd nerf it, but I could hope... Oh I could hope.. All we got was some very uninteresting greens aside from the dagger/shield and the bo staff/scythe (which should be dealing blunt damage btw, not slashing, try slashing someone with a stick..) and some new mini's. Woop-di-fcking-doo.

I had fun, but it was only for a very short amount of time and the anti-climax made it meh.

The spear was broken. Introducing triple/quadruple(if you count insc mods) modded weapons intentionally is retarded and I expect better from Anet. We all knew the update was gonna be some new shinny weapons and a mini or two.

They're stood between Anja and Gorani on the top plaza. You're looking for the Imperial Guard Requisition Officers.

**cosyfiep** · Feb 10, 2012, 03:09 AM // 03:09

ah thanks.....finally found them (someone else was asking in Kaineng...)
got 2 party beacons, the plague soaked staff and the death magic focus...no panda

guess some of my characters will have to do these monotonous quests---sigh.

Hey, John. This isn't exactly related, but can you and your team make it so we can go into the Shenzun Tunnels from Tahnnakai Temple, at least for the Remaining WoC? It's annoying to have to go from Xaquang Skyway just to get to Miku. (Don't bother with the Sunjiang District - too much resistance that way.)

You already can, through the southern gate in Tahnnakai Temple outpost, it takes you right to where she is.

Anyone can paste up the skin of Imperial weapon?

Your "controversial" is everyone else's "obviously and unintentionally broken". Get over it. If you're in this for phat lewt based on stats, you're playing the wrong game. They're not running the risk of breaking the game (particularly PvP) at this stage by adding random new mods and combinations of mods. The dagger shield is new and a complete surprise. A bo staff scythe, a staff wand, another pair of sword daggers, daggers as foci, dual wielding fans...they've introduced a lot of neat and unique weapons (not just skins!) in WoC. They're just not statistically better than anything else. This surprises no one except you, and Yawgmoth.

You may as well complain that the Imperial sword has the same max damage as your old sword, Waaaaaaaaaa! That's how ridiculous your complaint is.

HigherMinion · Feb 10, 2012, 03:37 AM // 03:37

Does the off-hand dagger do any damage? What does it do to your attacks? Make every attack a double-strike or what?

Zenzai · Feb 10, 2012, 03:43 AM // 03:43

So you can... Sorry, blonde moment.

Opened 5 lockboxes, got the plague-soaked stave, Xun Rao's Justice (wand with katana skin (yes, that's right, a REAL caster sword!), all primary reqs, +5en > 50% hp, 10% hsr all) and Xun Rao's Absolution:

Sick hammer skin. Mods aren't ideal but good enough for PvE.

Aaaaaargggh

I have wanted that skin ever since I saw the stone whatevers carrying it. Dang, now I will have to open a bunch of boxes and get a bunch of greens I don't want.

When you complete the Final Encounter in HM Zei Ri becomes you're third ritualist hero.
