Curse

Just finished all of the subquests in HM. No, there's no reward for doing that.

Can't remember names, so here's an idea of what they're like:

Tyrian fight is constant slaying of golems until the boss arrives. Boss seems to be total melee, so just tank it.

Canthan fight goes through LOTS of Am Fah. Bring a MM, or even two, I guess. Assassins are tough to get through with Flashing Blades being buffed, and they fight alongside some Elite Am Fah, some with dual or non-Am-Fah professions. Boss is sorta like a caster, so just deal with it like that. Jade Brootherhood turn on you when it hits 50%.

Elonian fight is a lot of running around killing Bit Golems and stuff as well as taking down the boss. The boss has a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE health stockpile, but ALL of its skills are spells. [[Broad Head Arrow], or pretty much anything that grants long-term Dazed is GG here.

Still working on finding the lair, but I'm starting to think it's in the Maguma Jungle, focused on somewhere in the Sage Lands.

Great update, and I am loving the new summon items :P
Also <3 the 10k reward.
MOX is awesome too, a decent addition to any melee/orders build. Those who whine about not using dervishes and this being a "useless hero", should stop and consider that they are being extremely ungrateful, I am really pleased with the update, as little things such as this keep me interested in the game.
GG Anet, those quests were really fun

I agree, though I doubt I'll use the Automatic items. None the less, I thoroughly enjoyed the MOX mini-mission line.

quick question. Does anyone know if there was a secret nerf to smites in the last update? They appear to have much much more energy than normal.

Also, kudos on adding new content. I"m sure the fire imp is cool, if I have a char under 20 I"d use it.

9/11... thats a bit awkward in timing? It might offend someone who has to grieve that day...

what exactly does an online game update have to do with that.

To be honest, if they are so full of grief, why would they be playing Guild Wars at the time of the update?

Here is the schedule:

September 4: Fall promotion (e.g. Mox) game update

September 11: Regularly scheduled game update (balance changes, XTH points, etc.)

Another thing the devs would like to point out is regarding Tournament Reward Point distribution. Reward points are not distributed with the live build. Reward point distribution comes several minutes after the build goes live.

This is how it works. First, the build goes live. After the build is live, the database is checked to see whether your account is listed and how many reward points you get. Once the list is checked and it finds your account there, the number of reward points you receive are determined, and points are distributed.

Because the number of accounts participating in the Xunlai Tournament House increases each month, the number of accounts that need to be checked also increases (the list of accounts gets longer), which means a little bit of a wait as the list is checked to see if your account is on it.

This is why, when some of you furiously click on the NPC to get your points right after the build goes live, you find that the points have not been distributed yet.

Hmm somthing is not right, something seems to be wrong, seems like a few min. wait but, i ve been waiting what 12 hours?

I have multiple accounts got keys on an account but not on the other. I did everything the same so why does one get them and the other not?

If you are having a problem collecting your reward points, please contact Customer Support.

I waited around an hour before collecting my Reward Points. Nothing problematic occurred.

Same. I contacted them yesterday, the people I contacted forwarded me to "senior staff" and the "senior staff" forwarded me to "ArenaNet Team!"

And ArenaNet team hasn't said a thing to me.

Since they decided to split up the September update and last thursday is when MOX came out it's only logical to release the normal update the second thursday of the month.

Life goes on

DarkNecrid · Sep 12, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

They released it on 9/10, so...

Death occurs everyday, and so does grieving. I'm sure they didn't sit in their office and decide to deliberately antagonise people with the date.

Midnight Harmony · Sep 12, 2008, 11:14 PM // 23:14

I hope we get to see more missions like the golem ones, because they were a lot of fun.

Hara Makoto · Sep 13, 2008, 07:45 AM // 07:45

i sent an email about why i wasnt getting my xunlai tournament points to anet.. they took a different approach when i asked they sent me this :

- Your Guild Wars Account Login :

- The email you used to sign up for the Xunlai

- The first and last name you used to sign up for the Xunlai Account

- The date you signed up for the Xunlai Account

I know full well these are not the problems, so many others have found trouble, and i had all my details correct anyway.
