I don't think anyone will know that yet!

It would be nice if Winds of Change was completely separate though. Playable by someone that doesn't even have Prophecies.

My guess is yes. Since Assassins can only come from Cantha, and Miku is an Assassin. This whole story line is probably intertwined. I'm guessing you cant skip it like I did the jungle and the desert in prophecies on all my toons. Oh wait, did they say the white mantle fled deeper into the Maguuma Jungle?

"Only those players who have finished Guild Wars: Eye of the North and the War in Kryta can access Hearts of the North."

Ran several characters through this last night finally getting to one who just finished BLA a week ago. EotN is complete but she can't access these new quests (no Ebon Vanguard unit outside of EotN). Can it be assumed this is a bug or do you also need to beat Prophecies in addition to EotN/WiK?

"...and have subsequently reported the disappearance of Lt. Thackeray to Gwen in the Hall of Monuments."

So it seems your char should also visit Gwen in your HoM to be able to get the new quest chain started.

I love the fact you can get a bazillion bows off Gwen.

BTW, Keiran is a beast when you want to kill Rotscale

LifeInfusion · Nov 19, 2010, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Now everyone has a build to solo with. You get to keep all the drops in the mini mission.

Also to the people that say "only 128 runs to Vanguard"... this is why Guild Wars has downplayed its "skill over time played" motto ever since Nightfall.

P.S. Keiran is pro but his bow has no inscription slot or mods

A lot of people are saying stuff like that, and I really don't get them. You are not forced to buy every single costume, and buying a costume doesn't give you any advantage over other people. Do you guys have some kind of addiction that is forcing you to buy every costume? In that case you should go see a doctor, not blame a.net.

Did this too. Got Rotscales bow on the first go and then used it for the rest of the mini-mission, even though the mods don't do anything.

Although for a second I got a little agitated after:
'I'm using promise of death on Rotscale"
--> Sniper
WTF why wont he die?!?

...Then I noticed the 900's and remembered how much health that stupid dragon has

Riot Narita · Nov 19, 2010, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Wedding Couple Attire. YES!
Formal Attire... NO!
Dapper Tuxedo... NO, NO, and thrice NO!

There is no extra reward if done in HM. too bad

FengShuiDove · Nov 19, 2010, 02:24 PM // 14:24

I'd probably buy 'em for completion if they weren't a $15 set. I understand it, but ehhhhh, it's a bit much right now.

And that's why I'll hold off. No biggie.

I got the stupid babbling-Gwen bug so I haven't done the second quest yet (much to my annoyance and dismay), but I can't wait to try solo'ing Rotscale.

EPO Bot · Nov 19, 2010, 02:33 PM // 14:33

Such strange forms of logic here. If i walk trough the mall i will never complain about the stores trying to sell me shoes or perfume. A strange world that would be: You go shopping and all you ever see on a shelf is the one thing you want.

You got your moneys worth out of this game three years ago, kids. You paid for what was on the disks. You never had to pay for any later content that matters, gameplay wise: The Zquests,heavy equipment packs, Nicolas and the war in Kryta content. And there was that one free storage panel too. Some of you even complained about THAT. So show some gratitude or Santa will notice and he might stop giving you candy.

The Groomsman costume is a more suit-like (with shorter tails) outfit that can double as formal wear outside of a wedding. It has no belt, no cape, and a shorter top hat with a button and no ornate ribbon dangling.

The female tuxedo is custom-made. It was tailored specifically for female characters. It has mesh and ribbon detailing that matches the groom and bride. The female tuxedo comes with another version of the top hat to match the outfit, complete with decorative ribbon dangles.

The Bride has a long layered satin dress with layers of ruffle mesh trimmed with satin ribbon and coordinating mesh sleeve. Dress is trimmed with gold flowers and leaves, including an arm band to attach the sleeve. Her formal up-do hairstyle has double flowing satin and ribboned veils with gold flowers and tiny white flower details. Hair decoration comes complete with gold flower and white flower bell earrings. She does have a garter as well as satin ribbon shoes. Bride dress comes in white as well as another dyeable version (so that when it dyes, the details still show because the dye system can be finicky… and the dress absolutely needed to look good in white).

Bridesmaid/formal dress: Because bridesmaid dresses are traditionally less ornate than the bride and Gwen’s was already streamlined for style and her personality, we felt dressing the members of the wedding party in formal attire would be more appropriate. Formal dress has matching shoes, necklace, bracelet and shoulder sash. In the back is a cascade of ribbons and large petals to match the flowing decorations of the front skirt. Her formal hair has columns of curls and matching mesh decoration.

And lastly:

Susan Jessup designed and implemented the female tuxedo and the formal dress.

Kristen Perry designed and implemented the groom, groomsmen, and bride outfits.

The female tux is awesome - but why dont male chars get the option to dress as the bride?

You do know the new hero isn't going to be a ranger or assasin...right?

Voodoo Rage · Nov 19, 2010, 03:31 PM // 15:31

I would think the new hero would be a profession that we currently only have access to two of (rits, mesmer, paragon, etc...).

But it would be nice if it was something totally unique.
