Pics are awesome. <3 what I can see...

Any chance to get shots of the backs of the costumes as well...since they're what we generally get to look at when we're playing characters that are wearing them?

Do I need to do the side story in the HoM that came out with the WiK stuff?

Laraja · Nov 19, 2010, 03:38 AM // 03:38

Woo -hoo! Go go Anet. I've been waiting and waiting... and waiting....... and waiting for the conclusion to WiK and the quests to find Kieran Thackaray.

Thank you thank you.

My only issue? I really wish we had a 'costumer' NPC like the festival hat NPC so we have a place to store our costumes. I want the new ones but srsly, I am SO out of storage space after halloween. I didn't even bother to buy the Shining Blade/White Mantle costumes. I have to be a little picky about what I buy and how many of my toons get the costume because of space.

Guess I have to finish WiK now? lol

Um...you can go and regenerate the costumes at any time for any toon from the same costume NPC that you grabbed them from the first time.

The NPC doesn't even charge you the 10g that the Festival Hat NPC does.

It's only if you've dyed them and don't want to have to dye them again that you'd need to store them...which is the same as for festival hats.

It would be nice to be able to add them to the Guild Hall though.

Has anyone else had their Miku go absolutely insane?

Mine stopped what she was doing, turned around and fled all the way back to the beginning of the map. She had to run at least half of the map...

There is no way it was lag, since we had been actively killing before and I was taking damage chasing her ass back.

Stupid assassins.

Guys, this thread is to discuss Heart of the North, not to bicker about the lack of dervish updates or a place to whine about PvP balance. There are other threads for that. This isn't it.

Thanks.

Sjeng · Nov 19, 2010, 05:48 AM // 05:48

normally, 4 costumes cost 8,99. They throw in ONE extra costume, that is almost the same as existing mesmer armor, and they charge us €12,99???
Anet is insane. rediculous prizes!!!

I wish I had waited on spending all that gold on buying new gear to match the Halloween goggles.

Thanks for the pictures

They are amazing. I saw them and immediately went "...must have." The female tuxedo looks awesome on my Mesmer, and apparently bright red hair suits my Dervish (though I can't seem to dye it light enough to match her regular hair color. Oh well). They are gorgeous, and obviously a lot of time went into the detailing on them.

And as ever, there's people whining about costumes. If you don't like them, don't buy them. They aren't required. Personally, I'd rather spend $10-15 on a costume set every couple of months if they appeal to me than be forced to pay $15 a month just to play the game.

Also, I would argue that the GW store really isn't a cash shop, since cash shops in MMOs tend to be where they sell things that directly effect gameplay and you more or less have to buy them else you will be at a drastic disadvantage - weapons, armor, in-game money, etc. The GW store does not offer anything of that sort.

I don't want to be Thackaray. No more than I wanted to be a Pac Man wannabe worm or the Asuran version of Pokemon.

Im pretty disgusted right now. I had been looking forward to this.

I'm fine with the purchasable costumes..at least it is attainable and doesn't involve trading umpteen royal gifts in for garbage noob exp scrolls and common consumables worse than Nick gives out every day in Pre for far less effort.

Quite honestly.. Implementation of the WIK and now this gives me pause about GW2 in general.

First off, I wouldn't take anything in GW1 a sign of GW2... they are two different games.

Second, I couldn't disagree with you more. I've player over 1500 hours with my main... I think I know how to play her.

But throw me on a Ranger with a short range bow... woah. Took me awhile to get it, but I love Keiran: "Snap, Headshot!"

Anyway, you're missing out: 5 war supplies, 1k gold, and 1250 Vanguard rep pts in 8-10 minutes.

Yeah, that's gonna get nerfed, so enjoy it while you can...

Pointing out that GW is buy-to-play not free-to-play also seems pretty relevant.

Then make a new thread to bitch about those things, no one is stopping you.

But lets keep this thread about Hearts of the North.

Not an assassin or ranger... awesome.

Rules out Miku and Keiran at least...

Mad King Hero... LOL

I'd bet it's a hero that you can change the primary profession of. What else could be "totally different"? Oh aside from maybe a Sylvari....or maybe they're going ahead with the chronomancer and summoner....although I doubt it...

I usually appreciate people with vast imagination and wishful thinking. But not those that contradict the lore.

Yes, I suppose I wasn't really thinking when I mentioned the sylvari....seeing as they don't emerge for a few hundred years....I've been re-reading ghosts of Ascalon, it's not my fault!

Anyway, I'd think a hero with changeable primary profession is probably the new hero...

asb · Nov 19, 2010, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Never really related to Keiran, he's always seemed like he just appeared out of nowhere, suddenly becoming lore-wise corner stone for gw2. If I had gotten him to know better through quests/mission first, I could have taken an interest in his life, his character, problems, motivations. The walls of text in the hom and the picnic preparation wasn't really enough, and "battling" alongside him in the WiK didn't convince me to give him my blessings either. He didn't ask us to come with him and solve his own problems.
I hope Gwen catches him fooling around with a female Charr and orders us, heartbroken and filled with wrath, to take him out. Hah!

Nonetheless, I love the free content ANet is giving us. I'd rather have skill updates, but I guess they can't package those as well with their money makers.

Time-traveling chronomancer sylvari. :P

love the new costumes, thumbs up on the new quests (though only one of my characters ever finished bla--had no reason to get more than one thru)....

but I guess I am going to kill rotscale a bunch more times so he might actually drop something for me! (one of the others dropped black dye)....dumb bow-----
