I'm continuing playing normally as you still can, yeah i look forward to build but why stop progress in a particular part because a certain title is changing etc.

Aljasha · Mar 02, 2011, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Why would you stop playing before any update, unless it's a security fix? Neither the Dervish skill preview, nor the talked about possible changes stopped me from playing.

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · Mar 02, 2011, 06:21 PM // 18:21

what i'll do is most stuff like last part of master of the north title to max, which is vqs (great weekend

)
i have runes some heroes already, i even give my heroes superior vigor rune, which i normally dont

i have made like 8 good looking builds, of which 7 are real serious, and 1 is air magic, not tried yet

i vqed some ascalon parts (without caravan style) and on my main char done all dungeons on NM and all but 1 on HM, which i need for eotn master title to max (long live wiki), so i can go vq, do wanteds on HM(for royal gifts), zaishen quests

all i gotta do is heroes on non-main char with runes,insigs and weapons

as for survivor, i wait for 7 hero team to do that without boxing or buying kath hammers, or something similair, as i prefer to "play" the game

except for some dungeon run, i only had help, or did it myself

also, if drunkard should be like 1 use = 1 minute, then that title will be mine too

and i never stopped making new builds, so can do for heroes now, as i quit discord some weeks ago

so yea, i've been preparing, and some people hear me about it for a long time now, lol (bet they'll be happy to see me doing stuff with 7 heroes than talking about it

)

first i was pretty P-ed cuz its no full hero team, so cant do urgoz and the deep with heroes only, but after i saw you(i bet i do) need more than 1 player, that'll be best

i yet have to see some update for melee AI to make those heroes useful

heh, if they made it account based, I'll be around 55,000 minutes then . ..

Just runed my Necros, Rits, Monks, Mesmers and Eles, most were pretty much done anyway. Might do a Para or two as well.

I wonder where they got that information . . . It'll be nice if some of it's true, though.

Quote:

- Status Online - Players can now change your status online when they connect directly entering the game marked as "Away", "Do Not Disturb" and of course "Online."

What about "Offline"?

Google Translate of that article:

Quote:

Tomorrow NCsoft and ArenaNet and Guild Wars will release an update to Multiplayer.it and knew what the exclusive content.
The update introduces a new outpost called embark Beach and creates heroes Mercenaries.

- Party from 7 - The party of the player expands to seven heroes that can all be heroes Mercenaries.

- Status Online - Players can now change your status online when they connect directly entering the game marked as "Away", "Do Not Disturb"and of course "Online. "

- Changes in securities - Update for the title of "survivor" and "drunk".

Daily quests that count towards LDoA? That would have saved me 95k deaths...

um please excuse me but... don't you have to level 20 to be LDoA and gaining more exp (ex quest) be pointless? sorry don't have pre toon to try or understand it. I just see it as get title stop grinding the title. sorry a bit clueless on this title.

Tnx for posting it(Italian here lol)....

Just clarifying some things(if google translator isn't doing his job, lol):

Quote:

Daily quest in pre-searing;

These will DO count for Ldoa....end of deathleveling?

Quote:

new Hero panel;

As asked lot of times in Saderlac, simplified panel to manage all your heroes.

Quote:

change to druncard and survivor titles;

Account wide(or insta credit for minutes) the first i guess, exp by LAST death for second.

Quote:

some uncomprensible change on the friends panel;

Quite a little thing respect everything else....in other words, if you're set as "away" and change char, you'll log set on "away", instead return on "online"...
you'll be able to change your status from char selection screen also.

Quote:

is it true or not? the article mentions official sources...

Idk.

EDIT: take so much time to write the post that someone did it before me...(see above).

Correct, but the daily quest seems to be available to everyone. The reward is based on the character's level. This means that you won't have to Deathlevel to get from 16-20 but simply do the daily quest everyday. This also means that LDoA and Legendary Survivor are possible on the same character, even without the change to the survivor title.

go cubs · Mar 02, 2011, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Holy shit, LDoA changes......i thought it should happen, never thought it would though....you can get it without D leveling :0...Kinda seems like a lame title now though tbh

Although, I will probably attempt it now and make use of my lvl 14 pre char that i currently use just for birthdays

plus...i mean gezz we beat the Lich, Shiro, Abaddon, fought Dhuum... =] i want my status for Ascalon

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · Mar 02, 2011, 09:41 PM // 21:41

LDoA a normal way : YAY my pre char will see the light again

survivor: dont really care myself, happy for others (if its a good change)

drunkard: make it plz be 1 gulp of 1 minute = 1 minute in title

"some uncomprensible change on the friends panel": well, could be nice if you wanna stay offline or such, in case you are on and gotta do something, then leave soon... or get alot of whispers (if thats what it means)

if this all is just a rumour being fake, then i hope anet will read it, and do something with it

FoxBat · Mar 02, 2011, 09:42 PM // 21:42

Account-wide drunkard by itself makes no sense, you'd expect them to hit sweets and party as well. No, this is some change to make it easier to "drink" (although might not be as simple as "spamming" either.)

BenjZee · Mar 02, 2011, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I for one was a tad peeved at the idea of surivor chaning but hey.. im two titles from GWAMM now, drunkard which is apaarently changing and this character is anicent so couldnt get survivor

Daily quest in pre-seraing sounds morally wrong but then again making a monument for LDoA is too so im glad they are being quite realistic about point of these titles. However now i can't help think i want KOABD in pre including LS and LDOA if this works out well.

Zaishen vanquishing..great idea consideirng alot of people dont go back to vanquishing once its happened, its gunna be huge cycle until you get the one you want though. I for one think all the Zaishen flags should be moved here to free up space on temple of balthazar.

its gunna be somewhat ironic that warriors my least favourite and thats why i made him pre-searing character, but hes finally gunna get LDOA, leave that area and get one more title then everyone else

stocking up on hero runes and insignias?

Quote:

Dusting off your hero weapons?

They're pretty much decked out.

Quote:

Holding back on doing something in PvE?

DoA, and maxing Allegiance Title. At 200 Arbor-vqs to go, every minute I save with a more effective 7h build is one I can spend doing more fun things.

Quote:

looking forward to PuG fest?

I actually like seeing different outposts filled with people instead of however crowded EB will become. But I'm definitely going to enjoy teaming up for the odd mission or two. What's also interesting, is if EB will take over as main trading outpost.

Quote:

have a GWAMM toon without survivor?

I started playing this game with the goal of spreading out my achievements over all of my characters, so I never bothered with GWAMM. My first try at Survivor was stopped 100kxp before r3 due to lag, and honestly, it's more annoying to transfer all the runes and insignias from your survivor's heroes to another character for a reroll, than gaining all the xp again. Yes, I tried to get the title by playing normally. The update will hopefully give me the choice to reroll the survivor character or keep playing and still gaining the title, though I'm not planning to die again. :P

Quote:

drunkard or other title change increasing the value of alcohol/random resource?

I clicked myself through 7k minutes, so I don't care much if nothing is changed. Once I started doing other things on the computer while my character got wasted in the background, the title's not as annoying. If, however, the title is made account wide, my physical chars will be more than happy to finish the title. Sweet tooth and party points, I'll take em as they come, no biggie.

Quote:

theory-crafted perfect 7 hero balanced party build?

Not really thought about that, since everything except for elite areas is doable with H/H, and the areas I want to try out I haven't been to yet. I am however interested to see if the melee AI has notably improved. It's going to be fun "ordering" 5 melee heroes through mobs and seeing how they do.

And it is my pleasure to tell you that this will be tomorrow.
And no, I will not give you a time.
