New content is always good, and I like new bounties, but they really should reward more for completion, especially since you can farm war supplies way easier elsewhere.

For the most part, WiK has been a blast. The Peacekeeper/Mantle groups provide some good surprises (honestly didn't expect to see a Ranger cast Gaze of Fury) and the Courier runs are a good source of entertainment and profit.

My only qualms with the new content lie in requiring each character to go through the dialogues and the excessive amount of references. References are fun every now and then, but it would be nice if the current lore could stand on its own two feet.

I'm enjoying the new content with three of my characters. I've enjoyed the escort duty the most, I believe. And the fact that the 15 WS HM reward quests are very difficult and require a party of real people to complete in a timely fashion. Beetletun hasn't seen that large a population since the days of ettin farming.

I love the Necro ally and her personalized Ebon Sin Support character. The first time I saw him I was stoked.

I like the story, the dialogues, the random sentences from new npcs...having random allies is funny but sometimes it prevents careful tactics to be used. I'm still waiting to see how the story evelves, especially on the asura lab side. But, I'm beginning to ignore what is happening cause I'm bored with the hunting thing (bounties and courier=strongly repetitive and no rewarding at all).

Also, forgot to say it, I love how Lion's Arch is populated again, before it could only randomly happen to see one person for 2 seconds before teleporting to another location (a port city indeed).

I don't see how this makes me a "scumbag" for taking advantage of a situation that was clearly obvious :L

I didn't say How much I wanted but was offered 75e....Like I wasn't going to accept?



ALSO, back on the subject - I love courier Running (One of the only things in guildwars I enjoy doing for large periods of time )

I like that it adds further story progression - you feel like your defeat of the Titans and the Mursaat at the end of prophecies has a real impact upon the demographic of tyria. It nicely ties EotN and Proph together and develops characters who I was always fond of (like Evennia etc).

I also like the way its been implemented, with no announcements as such, just grassroots investigation by players. I'd love it if a couple of new outposts were added etc, but at the moment I am enjoying following the story and contributing to the cause.

I like that the 3 persons on top of this events are 3 strong women. How Livia treats the asura, how Evennia manages to get to convince some vanguard to help, even if they were strongly determined to stay out in the beginning. And Salma...well, she's Salma. I like that new characters were introduced and the further lore for hawks and blade.

I like that it fits into the lore so well. It seems they were careful to make sure they didn't break things already existing and even made use of small details from the past.

The Hotspring Murders really feels like it was written as part of the overall story, not just some quest that was written 5+ years ago. The continuation of that plot with Laymen Josef was good writing.

I also like the revival of the Ascalon and Kryta diplomacy. Recognising things like that really makes the game feel more alive.

Personally a lot of the way the WiK has been handled seems like it took a few lessons from the GW2 events system.

Loved that part, I was like where did that guy come from? And where did he go to now. I also like the mesmer chick, she looks good and was pretty good to have around.
Also love the part that the mobs have non standard skill bars, it has been really fun to play them. Even with the henchjes if I don't have a mate playing

Well What I would like to see is in following of this...
Wanted by the Shining Blade quests.

It would also be nice if there where White mantle quests too.
Or a PVE area where 2 groups can fight each other. The one along a group of Shiny Blades, the other along The White Mantle. And all of this in a normal
PvE setting...With no points of balthazar getting for killing each other... but
the normal drops...also when a human or hero player get killd.

Wouldn't it be nice that your team mate drop a green mini for a other player.
Men I bet you would like to see the faces..

That you see Kryta from a different perspective. Anet gave Kryta a whole new dimension.

The new foes are awesome, the peacekeepers are the most diverse and wild guys to fight against. I just wish that they had made all the mobs like the new mantle and peacekeepers from the start.

I like: The story. With Gwen <3 Thackeray, livia Zinn and Blimm (and GOX), Evennia recruiting and all that ^^

The new Mantle are also extremely fun to farm lol.

The new greenies (omg Firebrand and Law and Order 0.0 actually found Firebrand!)

The new minis (I want Evennia or Livia!)

What don't I like?
