Anyone know what map pieces are for? I have a few, but I don't know where "Koris Deephunter" is.

Same. It's a pain in the arse being stuck at work - oh well...installing Guild Wars on the work PC ftw!

>.>

<.<

An all nighter will also be required methinks.

Well, I've booked a long weekend off work for next weekend when the access *should* be unrestricted...

LONG LIVE VEKK!

I'm guessing that you either 1.) need 1 or more add'l map pieces to be able to read it and locate Koris, or 2.) Koris is in a section of the dungeon that is not included in the preview.

EDIT: Since I'm still at work, all I can do is guess

. So far, I'm living the preview vicariously through you all.. Thanks for the updates and info, btw

Only lets you do about 5 hours work tops, gives you another tapistry for your HoM, then says wait a week and a half to continue

Guess ill box some dwarven face until sunday night

Ninna · Aug 24, 2007, 11:22 AM // 11:22

didnt open that early - if early at all maybe within 30 minutes
(I was doing other stuff)

its a 3 day event
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild...k_Peek_Weekend

can download all new files at once using the -image option
can avoid all downloads ingame if you do that

in guildwars shortcut, can do this
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

what -image does is dloads/unpacks all files before the main game launches

An excellent bit of info to know, i'll probably run that when i go to sleep tonight that way most of the stuff is downloaded for tommorow.

I'm back for GWEN.

Hehe, at Gunnar's Hold at the moment, just finished 3 of Kilroy Stonekin's brawling quests, going to do the 4th now... However Primary Asura Quest 'The Knowledgable Asura' and Primary Ebon Vanguard Quest 'The Missing Vanguard' are locked for the preview...

This quest is not enabled in the Sneak Peak Weekend. It will become active when Guild Wars: Eye of the North officially goes live on August 31, 2007.

Going to be no-lifing tonight and this weekend, hehe.

Btw I'm British if your wondering the time.

2:04pm, heh. Oh and I had no trouble this morning running an -image at max downloads (390kb/s), got the update in a minute or 2.

-EDIT-
By the way at the moment I have; 600 Deldrimor reputation points, 291 Norn reputation points and 100 Ebon Vanguard reputation points. For the record, you need 1000 in each for the first title, and I intend to get at least the first title of them all (if possible) before the preview finishes!

It's also awesome! I've got Gwen, Vekk and Ogden Stonehealer all as Heroes! There amazing, haha. Gwen's new appearing is certainly cool, Vekk's voice wasn't what I expected, I expected something like Stick from Lilo & Stitch, haha! Although he's the small magical yet portal networky thing. :P

Here's some screenshots for you guys:

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain new armor during this event?

Kuldebar Valiturus · Aug 24, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

To those poor self tortured souls:

Do a -image and get your update out of the way so your play time isn't delayed every time you zone. O.o

For the of Grog! Do it!

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

Edit: Just saw Ninna's post, but it bears repeating...

SiD the Turtle · Aug 24, 2007, 01:31 PM // 13:31

Looks like I can get some armour from a Vanguard in the EotN, and from a Norn in that Norn town. Looks like you need to get through their title tracks first though

Highlights so far:
Defeating Norn just to talk to them.
Norn bears are cool.
Followed a white rabbit into a cave, and then the screen filled with bad guys

Dwarven boxing with Kilroy Stonekin.

Here's also something interesting. I was carrying a tapestry shred, tattered cape, broke flute and iris flower in case I needed them for something. If you talk to Gwen while carrying them she says 'I can't believe you kept those all these years', and 'now is not the time, I must rescue my friends first' or something along those lines. If you drop those items she doesn't say that. Wonder if its a post completion quest of some sort?

Josh · Aug 24, 2007, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Just finished all 4 of Kilroy Stonekin's quests now...

Up to Gunnar's Hold, oh and here's the screenshots again:

- Update -
If you speak to Gunnar Poundfist in Gunnar's Stronghold, give him Deldrimor Armor Remnants and he will craft armor for Gwen, Vekk and/or Ogden Stonehealer!

*goes searching for Deldrimor Armor Remnants*

Noticed that too, although I was only carrying an iris flower at the time, and that was only because I found one near the Eye of the North.
