Lots of Superior ID kits and scrolls. Don't think I'll be getting anymore royal gifts.

Well, I found the quest a great step in the right direction. I still hate those stupid Ether Seals, as they're more annoying to deal with than difficult. Still, as masochistic as it sounds, I enjoy fighting some mobs I can't just blow through.

End boss was pretty disappointing, I was expecting some dialogue or, well, something. But the instance was fun.

Good update is good. I got my first Mantle green here ^ ^

Resha · Jun 04, 2010, 05:25 AM // 05:25

I like fighting the new PK/WM too, and 5 Gifts & a Medal of Honor isn't too bad either.

I've checked it and YES, speed booking with hero doesnt work anymore. Heros spawn groups of mobs.

Thanks ANet, what else you will destroy to make this game more borring?

The two bosses with the keys are WAY on the other side of the map, about where you'd start if it was the actual Riverside mission. A guildy and I took it on, 2 of us and 4 heroes in NM and we pretty much just walked in the front door, and just cut them down. It looked though that if you went all the way around it would be much easier then going in the front. It was a bit of a fight what with all the rest chains. One thing though, much, much, MUCH easier in NM. We couldn't even get past the 3rd mob in HM because of Empathy. It just killed my assassin dead.

If anyone does finish it in HM do you get more rewards? Speaking of those, I got 2 lockpicks and 4 scrolls, 1 gold, 3 blue. I think I'll be saving up the rest of my gifts as well. The picks are nice, but the 700 gold for the other 4 was a little...well, little.

Say what you will about new quests, lore and items. It's little touches like these that have impressed me the most.

ManlyMan · Jun 04, 2010, 06:01 AM // 06:01

How hard is to fight a few more groups? It's still superior than grinding out points else where. (for speedbooking)

Anyways, like the new mission, shame no HM reward, but yeah fun stuff. I'm just gonna stock pile the gifts/supplies/medals , see what happens.

Speedbooking was retarded anyway and should have been nerfed long before it had.

It doesn't take that much longer to just do the effing quests. It's not like they are difficult.

Because AFKing quests is soooooo incredibly interesting.

QQ I should've looked at this thread before completing it in HM when the rewards were the same in NM.

LOL

well hope they dont split the reward again... or, if they do it, that they INCREASE the HM reward and NOT RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOIN NERF the actual reward of NM

i'll try this new quest + reward tonight

Woo. I haven't done it yet, but that's a nice reward - equivelent of 100 war supplies.

I wonder if we'll see a use for Medals of Honor soon - this quest pretty much ensures that everybody doing WiK stuff will have at least one.

Or am I just crazy?

I'm running another character through the game far enough to gain access to Lion's Arch keep. I don't expect too much from H/H, but MOX was totally bonkers last night (before update) - ran off like Leeroy Jenkins several times, despite being set to "guard" and the party flagged.

The Live Team is trying to shoe horn people into playing with other people.

Even if they used the HM code to make all henchmen level 20 when entering Kyrtan areas during the WiK (or using the buff that players get during Journey to the North or in the Consulate Docks mission) the henchmen still wouldn't be infused.

I found it funny that the Shining Blade and Ebon Falcons are not infused and die the moment the Jade constructs look at them. Some elite squad they are.

I was also disappointed they didn't give us an ally during the mission.

Live Team needs to accept that for as long as heroes exist, people will not want to PuG.

Personally I did this mission with three heroes, no henchmen. Less dead weight that way.

Ohhhh not fair, I am at work and can't play

awww

How is removing exploits of game mechanics making the game boring?

Mintha Syl · Jun 04, 2010, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Uuuh sweet news! I'll have to infuse my brand new armor now

Funny thing the alesia+stefan comic, how true! Guess henchies won't stand a chance to take a place in the party for this mission, hope I can do it with someone else, other way just me+heroes.

And, happy the speedbooking glitch has been fixed.

Resha · Jun 04, 2010, 09:41 AM // 09:41

Sorry if this is old but I haven't noticed it before - Jiaju Tai has a new option when you talk to her and she can now send you into D'Alessio Seaboard explorable.

Edit: quick run-through (not everything) didn't seem to show anything interesting, aside from the fact that the place is absolutely loaded with white mantle and those villagers from riverside province/divinity coast explorables. A new quest here seems likely.
