Yes its true, but Anet forgot about it!

No update again?

Hyperventilate · Jul 02, 2010, 01:23 AM // 01:23

I have to say I'm really disappointed in the WiK stuff. They hyped it up to such an awesome degree only to let it plummet to a disgusting, splattery death.

The occasional bounty isn't any different than simply doing the Z-bounties. If I wanted to loiter around and wait for something to do, I'd just stick with that. Plus, the rewards are totally laughable. Trek all the way to Kessex Peak in HM for an extra one (1) war supply? Yeah, I'll get right on that.

I feel like a fool for getting excited over this, only to be let down in such a spectacular way.

According to unsubstantiated reports, the White Mantle is assembling their forces for a massive confrontation with the Shining Blade. I’ve heard reports from common folk fleeing south, fearful of being caught in the path of the huge assemblage if it marches on Lion’s Arch.

I will investigate these claims as best as I am able and provide more information tomorrow.

"Things may be afoot"

No need to panic. They haven't forgotten.

I was expecting WiK to be something epic because in most games they go all out if its a bridge over to their new game or expansion. Usually the goal is to leave a lasting impression and leave customers in anticipation for what will come next.

I'm just not getting that with this war

But, I still enjoy the game I'm just not one of those people waiting for any small detail in the WiK

I love the new foes and quests. Their builds aren't perfect, but they've created many fond memories. Thank you Anet.

Get it right without rushing something terribad.

Good ol' Murro.

Kityn · Jul 02, 2010, 03:00 AM // 03:00

It takes months to make these quests and mini missions. Please give the devs a break. When new content is ready they will release it.

Resha · Jul 02, 2010, 03:01 AM // 03:01

Wow I hadn't even noticed Murro had updated

belshazaarswrath · Jul 02, 2010, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Wow what unrealistic expectations you have!

You expect there to be prompt and constant updates from a company that is going to release a game "when it's done?"

It'll happen...eventually. Don't bet on it every Thursday.

I agree with the people that Anet really hype the WiK content just to have it somewhat disappointing in the end result.

When the WiK first started all there was really was just the website with the guy talking about whats going on and the addition of lvl 24+ enemies to an area where henchmen are only lvl 10.. "PRINCESS SALMA DECLARES WAR" Hell ya did we have apart in that? NO. "SKIRMISH IN THE CURSED LANDS" again was the players involved? NO. Here is the best "CHEERS, TEARS AS SALMA ARRIVES IN LION’S ARCH" Holy crap the Shining Blades somehow drove out the White Mantle from Lion's Arch. I sure am glad I was there fighting side by side with them in this historic event. Oh wait I wasn't.

The first part just came off as if you were just watching TV. You hear about all the battles and other events but the player wasn't involved, which was a huge disappointment. It would have been awesome if Anet made it a new mission where you help the Shining Blades take Lion's Arch. The new "Wanted" was nice but it defeated the enjoyment when you kill the same boss for the 3rd time. OK new missions are nice when they become available every blue moon but it does suck how I have to take lvl 10 henchmen (with my heroes) to do a mission where they get killed in a second by a very overpowered Jade Cloak or a group larger than 2 things.

It's nice Anet is making new content, it's just that the new content is dull and sometimes really boring (the dialog you HAVE to sit threw). The War in Kryta just doesn't feel like this huge epic important war it was made out to be.

I got an idea. How about Anet remove all the free content and you erase it from your memory. We can all pretend it never happened, you'll have nothing to complain about and this thread will never exist!!! Brilliant!!

OK good for you if your idea of fun is standing in the distance watching stuff happen or reading about events instead of being apart of it.

Hey I put all 10 of my professions through it all. I've paid my dues, watched all the dialogues and put in the time. NOW I'm playing through the content and BEING A PART OF IT. I never said all the prerequisites to the WiK were fun but I sucked it up and did them. Now I am having fun. Believe it or not some people (excluding yourself) actually want a plot and a story line to what they are doing. The dialogues themselves were a breeze. I just did them each time I decided to step away from the keyboard.

And some people have real lives and only do this on 1 or 2 characters. Good for you that you are epic 1337 and appreciate the people that leave pennies in the tray for you at the gas station. That's free to right!

Yeah, he was in "captivity" for a while. Meaning that Anet forgot about him accidentally or something (like the Scribe).

Does anyone else think it's ironic that the Canthans are throwing a huge party while Tyria is at war? Obviously, they should be aware of the war. Murro was literally just there. But nah, they're getting drunk and playing dodgeball.

Just seems....out of place....

I work a full time job, hang out with friends, take care of my family and yet I still found time to do what I did. Good for me. These people whom are only capable of taking 1-2 characters through the WiK content should have less to complain about and less to do. What seems to be the problem with them? It's not like this content was released last night. We've had a lot of time and the bounties have recycled already. No one is missing anything and Anet didn't rush this content out. So don't give me none of that ,"epic 1337" crap. It is what it is.

Torpoon · Jul 02, 2010, 04:05 AM // 04:05

In real life countries still have parties(Cinco de mayo, 4th of July etc.) while other countries are at war. However, Cantha must have some worry on the impacts on trade the Shining Blade's takeover must have...

Anyways I'm just not that interested in farming white mantle, thats not a war to me. I'm still waiting on the sidelines until the action starts up.

Elnino · Jul 02, 2010, 04:30 AM // 04:30

For the love of god! Can't you people just give Anet a break?

It's only been 2 weeks since the last WiK update . . . 2 weeks! Can't you people wait? Or does Guild Wars consume so much of your life that there is nothing else to do while waiting?

You got two choices:

1= Enjoy the content that you already have. I heard the Dragon Festival was this weekend!

2= Get a life.

ShadowsRequiem · Jul 02, 2010, 04:43 AM // 04:43

The only grief I have is that anet *should* update proph henchies bars. White mantle are running bars from all campaigns, and its laughable how crappy henchies are. You're getting screwed by escape r/ds with scythes running gimmick Ha builds that are nerfed from backlash from players while alesia throws a healing breeze your way.
