Dude, read the thread. The post just before your reads:

According to pages 71-72 of the Guild Wars manual (I don't know why I was reading it), there are many entrances on many different worlds.

I quite like the female armour actually. I would certainly consider getting a suit of it if it was available. However it is not that nice, so I hope that there will be even better kinds available. But the "oriental style" is certainly very apt.

At least the new look of TOPK rocks ! ^^

I think the new area they talked about will be asian themed. And those would be the henchies :P (having armors we can't have like in Tyria)

The two faction groups on Cantha are the Luxons and the Kurzicks, the Zaishan have nothing to do with Canta. As for what is happeneing with Tombs, you'll just have to wait and see.

ok so i was mistaken about the zaishan, but when the expansion comes out you do have to decide on what side your going to take, either the Luxons or the kurzicks.. correct..i wasn't talking about pvp.

erm, I knew that already and that doesnt answer my question at all. There might be many entrances to the HoH, but if all the entrances where in just the new chapters land, chapter 1 players wont be able to go. I know that is not the case since someone already answer my question without trying to be funny.

I know this is a update for the upcoming PvP event but if you go to Sorrow Furnace. You'll notice that enemies now can interrupt you constantly instead of doing it once. I notice this when i went into SF last night, got a downloading section. Thinking to myself what would a-net want to update in SF? I went in with a group for orozar. Can anyone confirm that this patch made the AI a bit tougher now?

Tongloid Tarthwood · Jan 14, 2006, 04:36 PM // 16:36

I like the elementlaist henchie armour, but I'm not sure how they're going to make some kind of male equivelant of that armour or even if they're going to do that armour at all. I might just create a new character for Chapter 2 so my old-school characters don't go all Asian on me...

Kaguya · Jan 14, 2006, 04:56 PM // 16:56

Then again those 'things' at Tombs might not be the final henchies for Ch2, they don't even have 'unique' names, like Alesia/Orion/Thorn/etc. But if that is henchie only armor.. then.. player-wearable armor has always been cooler than the junk henchies wear

Kane · Jan 14, 2006, 05:38 PM // 17:38

well i found an some what older pic what might be interesting

http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/...0724/ch512.JPG

i´m pretty sure that the new hench armores will also be avalible for human player after all all old hench armores are also avalible for human player right now

as far as i know the old henches armores are collector items at least i´m very sure about the warrior the monk the ranger and the elementist armor

here are some more pictures i found in an german forum the one who postet got them form GWOnline

http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/...0724/ch511.JPG

they seem to be some part of an presantation

sry 4 my bad english im from germany myself ^^

Lady Of Tyria · Jan 14, 2006, 06:18 PM // 18:18

the new guild hall looks nice.. but if u look at the war armor in that german pic.. it looks kinda like a samurai's armor..and if u notice like every1 says. the armor looks asian..dragons tigers.. well u get the point

i bet the koreans took over the game ^^

Mwen · Jan 14, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

There was an interview posted to the front page of Guildwarsguru about a month back where one of the devs talked about how GW had done okay in Korea, but not as well as they would have liked or expected. I wonder if this totally Asian themed expansion is meant to recapture that market, since they've already been selling like nuts in the English-speaking world.

Pevil Lihatuh · Jan 14, 2006, 06:49 PM // 18:49

on the music: go download the "end of beta video" on guildwars.com; its the music they used for that (love that soundtrack, its my fave lol)

I've noticed all the towns/outposts are downloading before I can enter... yet most seem to have nothing changed... something added behind the scenes, ready to appear next weekend methinks?

ps. the hench is ugly

Wow.

umm...... it looks like a reskin of the hydromancer armour.

Deathqueen · Jan 14, 2006, 07:10 PM // 19:10

The only armor on the new henchies that looked decent was the warrior armor. I wasn't impressed with the graphics of the other armors on the other npc's at all.

That is SOOoo not samurai armor...

About that helm posted earlier, I don't recongnize it very well aside the shape of it as the bottom. But, emperors were the only one allowed to wear dragon symbol in China backdays, so I wonder if that is an emperor's helm or perhaps it is actually a korean helmet (which I don't know much about). Since when does emperor in China need a battle equipment? The only one were the ones that founded the dynasty.

EDIT: now that I looked at some other picture of chinese helm, that does look similar, however I didnt recongnize it without the lower part of the helm.

Forget where I read this, but I'm pretty sure I saw it mentioned that Lions Arch will add a gateway (read: npc) to the new battle isles so that those who only have ch1 will still be able to access tombs, etc

Xiaxhou of Trinity · Jan 14, 2006, 09:01 PM // 21:01

HOLY ---- Dammmit just when my parents get mad at me for playing too much and delete GW! The armor looks so damn tight I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW CLASSES! So some events are at Tombs right now? Armor looks tite
