Sounds like you need shelter. One of the most important things for any high end PVE these days is a Soul Twisting Ritualist using shelter and armor of unfeeling. That reduces the damage incoming to your entire group down to no more than 10% of your max health. Armor of unfeeling makes it last longer, and soul twisting allows it to be recast faster. Honestly a player does it better than a hero, since they can heal it with summon spirits, but man, that job is boring being an ST Prot Rit, but it's as good as an Imbagon, and a hero can still do it (unlike Imbagon which heros can't do)

Doing the normal mode quest in hard mode doesn't count as doing it in hard mode. It's kind of weird.

..oh lord you mean those zones i did the nm quests in if i DONT do the hm quests when i go to vanq those spots those monsters will spawn on us?! *faints*

The new creatures will only be there if you have the quest in that area.

In HM, there is 3 states each area affected by WoC can be in.

1) If you haven't had a quest for the area, the area will remain the same as before WoC.
2) If you currently have a quest for that area, the WoC afflicted will be there.
3) If you finish the WoC quest for the area, the afflicted will be gone, replaced by Am Fah or other creatures.

This won''t interrupt with Zbounties, will it?

Odinius · Jul 09, 2011, 07:28 PM // 19:28

Although a lot of the same quests, I'm really enjoying this update.
I would have liked a model like WiK a bit more: special drops, greens, an outpost with special npc's like the keep and just more stuff.
That said, this is only the first part probably paving the way for the really epic second and third part of it (jade sea, echovald?).
A real verdict can only be given after those imo.

Approaching from the south makes it easy.

As there aren't any zbounties for afflicted bosses, I suspect it won't be an issue. If the spawns change after doing the HM versions of the quests, maybe they will add something like the WiK Wanted alteration, where having the quest in your log temporarily resets the spawns to how they were before completing the quest chain.

Did anyone else notice the gate next to the chests in kaineng is open and leads to a glowing chest as pictured in the screen? I'm curious about this chest.

That chest has been there since the release of Factions.

Open sesame?

Ah, last time I really was in Kaineng was, oh, five years ago when factions was released, and shortly after I took a four year hiatus, heh. Thanks.

I just started the quest chain and it is quite boring i am probably not even gonna bother with it at all. All i am getting are these cleanse quests which are hella boring and feel like a chore to do

Xenomortis · Jul 09, 2011, 10:39 PM // 22:39

To be fair, the first two quests on Shing Jea are more interesting and the Marketplace quest is a change of pace.

StormX · Jul 10, 2011, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I came back to GW to see if theres anything interesting but no. Still no HoM weapons and the costumes are blah (was hoping for something to do with the kurzicks and luxons) I got to minister cho's estate and then cba to continue because getting repeatedly rolled by OP mobs is not my idea of fun. Not gonna bother anymore until I know if there are any rewards for doing these boring quests.

The line gets better once you're done killing afflicted, once the Ministry of Purity decides they need to clean up human beings rather than just afflicted, that's when they start not seeming so great anymore.

As for that chest.. the chest itself has always been there but it has been blocked off.... how did you open the gate? It's not open in my district
