Hmmm, Zaishen quest are using objectives that already are in game but with additional rewards. Gold, XP, Faction, Title Points and Zcoins.

Zcoins are used to unlock the pet tiers in the Manegerie. Not tradable beyond your account. Collectors take them too for various things (like Zkeys). OMG must farm...

bodyboarder · Apr 11, 2009, 01:17 AM // 01:17

oo we can buy things from collectors with the z coins sounds good

and are not tradable outside of your account

and we can trade them in for z keys

If you have Z-Keys sell them now. I can't imagine the title being anything besides Zaishen title, given the only way to currently earn it is keys and given the name of the quests.

Apparently you can purchase ZKeys with ZCoins anyhow.

Like saying that would cause people to mass buy them now?

Nope, redoing 'Blood washes Blood' for example gives you Norn points. Although I'm not exactly sure I'm getting all their saying.

Ahh man you guys are complaining about spending 10 figgen dollors boo-hoo. So they have a no monthy fee policy and you guys still find reason to complain, that's so typical GW jaded blockheads.

I really like the ideas they've come up with, I'm really up for the pet thing, sounds like a lot of fun and a new reason to go out in PVE and adventure

Right, but what about Tyrian missions that have no linked title? Either you're getting title points for something not linked to the mission itself or other rewards will be upped (XP, gold) to compensate for the lack of title points. Makes sense, I'm really hoping for a better way of accomplishing Zaishen title without wasting all of those keys.

At any rate, the in-game chat has been really enjoyable. Hi to everyone that was/is there =).

How i see it - I've been playing over 3 years with no monthly subscriptions.
If i had been playing WoW it would have cost me $540 to play for that amount of time. ($15/ month=180 * 3 years )

So hell. $10 for extra storage doesnt seem so much now does it?

GG to anet, the best news we've had in a long time, shows they realise they cant just hope for people to grind titles till GW2 release.

Big problem with that is the fact that this IS NOT WOW. If we were given even half of the content that WoW gives out I'd agree. This game is nowhere near the scale of World of Warcraft, so there's no comparison to be made. This game attracted players because it looked spectacular and was free to play. Using WoW as an excuse to charge $10 for $1 worth of "content" is ridiculous.

Guess what? noone is forcing you to pay it.. you have a choice, something you dont have with WoW.
for your $0 of maint fee that you pay, you should expect exactly $0 worth of added content, so quit your whining and be happy they are still adding things to the game for no additional cost.

:O looks good time to start playing again

Banane-O-Man · Apr 11, 2009, 01:53 AM // 01:53

Not sure why you call is a "waste".. what else would you do with the keys? If they make this title easier with other ways to get the points, then it will make the keys worth next to nothing, so all you will be able to do with the keys is to use them.
Yes, I expect them to do this, as they always like to f over the people who really wanted the title and so worked for it (yes, it is work getting the keys and opening the chest 20k times).

Just the other day you were ranting about how you needed storage and now you have it and QQ? You really need find another hobby other than raging in riverside.

Holy Friggen' Dwayna this looks great.

It's amazing what people expect from optional content. Don't want to spend $10 on a storage tab? Don't. Buy a second account or a new char slot, they still make money, they're just offering an extra option for storage, purely for your convenience (no swapping between a mule). Besides, extra storage costs them money too. Honestly, I think ArenaNet finally got the idea; no one is happy even if you give them free stuff (like the last time we got a ton of extra storage), so why not charge 'em?

We're still getting free storage, along with a new option for storage, among other new (and free) content. You should just be happy we are getting anything, besides this is just a preview, we don't know what else they have planned.

I wont be paying for any of this, roll on gw2

recon54 · Apr 11, 2009, 02:04 AM // 02:04

the way i see it is like this: when they told us that they were going to be improving/upgrading the storage for characters and accounts for the April Update, i was under the notion that these improvements/upgrades to the storage "feature" would be free. I thought this because i remember Anet saying that important "features" for GW would be added to the game for free, whereas new content (like BMP and game expansions) would come at a cost. Now here we are a few weeks away only to find out that the account storage upgrade will only happen if we spend the money for it. Thats just my reasoning for being a lil upset about the account storage.

However, in the end its Anets game and they have every right to run it the way they want to, just as my money is mine and i have every right to spend it how i want to, so it seems im not actually going to be getting an increase to my account storage like i thought. At least not until i feel the need/desire to spend the $10.
