Bought the costumes, they are pretty nice.

I don't like that the Wedding Finery has red stripes when you dye it, it kinda ruins the dye job.

Thanks for the info.

Hint: remember the Wintersday quests.

[edit]I'd like to say that I had a ball playing as a horribly OP-ed solo ranger for a few missions. It's not something that I'll come back to, but for the purpose of the story (ie, showing Kieran's growth, as opposed to telling us about it), I think it fit wonderfully and was a nice diversion from the norm.

Also, I can't help but think that GW2's influence was plastered all over these skills, and the solo combat in general. If the ranger gets these kinds of party-support skills in GW2....well, I can totally see them having a place in a PUG.

Overall pretty fun line of quests. Didn't take a brain surgeon to know where to go next to look for the items. Although it wasn't very clear for the fourth one. I just followed the crowd to the right zone and searched. Much improved from WiK as it originally was.

The skill bar for Keiran was pretty easy to use. The low energy usage made it almost too easy.

The costumes are nice...would like stuff like this spaced out a bit. We're not used to forking over the money on a monthly basis, O_o. (Wintersday is coming up too...*sigh*)

I liked the one sniper skill based on a hex from the Sin. That definitely tells me the direction where the GW2 skills are going. *thumbs up*

Just rezone until she stops babbling. Happened to me after quest 2 and 3. Then the next steps will appear.

Gwen just gives the reward and nothing else happens, even after rezoning

I HATE Keiran, and I hate anet for forcing him and these dumb quests on us when we could be getting something interesting. The only reason he exists is that anet thought it'd be a good idea for some bad character to serve as the bridge between GW and GW2.

Not our PCs mind you, who know, who've saved the world 4 times. But some guy who did two things:
1. Diddly
2. Squat

Winds of Change can't start soon e-bloody-nough.

Fortunately the personal opinion of one (or a few) people dont determine the outcome of new lore. Some people didnt like Fallout 3, but that didnt stop it from getting constant '10' reviews. So clearly someone somewhere (alot of someones) liked it. Also, from a lore perspective Thackeray did quite a lot of things we just didnt see. he led the Ascalon detachment of the ebon vanguard, and before that led several missions with varying success against the charr. And this WiK content is about expanding the lore, not the people's feelings toward one specific NPC they never had the pleasure of using.

Nuff said. Whole GW: B is about exploring and expanding the GW1 lore, creating the lore-bridge between GW1 and GW2, rather than introducing new content per se. General lore outline has already been decided and made up in devs' heads, now they only show us some parts of it that eventually lead to the world we shall discover in GW2.

QFT!!!

it is a good point though...

NPC: "hey! you're that guy!"
Player: "me?"
NPC: "yeah! you're that guy who saved the world all those times."
Player: "to be fair, I had a group of allies who helped all those times."
NPC: "don't be so modest. You killed the dark god Abbadon!"
Player: "yeah, i guess you're right. I guess I am kind of famous..."
NPC: "Yeah!.....and have you heard of this complete nobody named Keiran!? He's so awesome and better than you in every way!"
Player: O___O

Don't forget he knocks up Gwen. I suppose melting the Ice Queen's pants is an achievement all in itself.

Ah, I remember that fellow now! I vaguely remember doing that ages ago - can't remember the guy's name.

It's true. The only person who could be said to have come in any sort of second place is Pyre Fierceshot.

Oh how history would have changed. . .

I lol'd hard. Like, srsly hard.

I pity him, however.... if Miku and Gwen were my choices, Gwen wouldn't have won.

I don't know. . . charr are only humanoid cat demon things. The result would have probably been an even more humanoid cat demon thing.

I don't like cheesy console game crap of playing a predetermined char in a predetermined role. "OOO I AM LARA CROFT/insert FOTM Hero". I really don't CARE what he did. Forcing me to abandon my actual character to do these missions WONT MAKE ME CARE. Lore could have been introduced without forcing us to play as this inconsequential extra in red shirt.

Right now all I want to see from War in Kryta and this followup is an opt out button. I want it to be gone for the rest of my chars. It was barely palatable on one char.. I dont want to deal with it 11 more times as it is implemented now. I cannot run through this mess 11 more times just to clear Kryta of content I never had a choice about.

I want to help low level guildies in Kryta without hordes of high level Mantle one shotting them. I want my NF chars who finished EOTN not to have to deal with WIK.. not when I have to uncover the entire Kryta map with low level garbage hench. I don't care about the rewards, HOM, GW2 continuity or anything else.. I just want out of this poorly implemented mess.
