just wanted to say this DOES work to finish up the thacky part---eg I had no more ciders so I gave him some hunter's ales....(got junk instead of parcel) but this seemed to finish up that arc for me and I was able to get the 'I need to get the girl' reply and see him and gwen doing the final HoM dialogue.

so no need for those ciders!

(just hope I dont need to see 6 dialogues + zinn + whatever else on 10+ characters

)

I think this might be the case...isn't one of the pre-reqs for viewing the dialogues is that you have proph and eotn complete on that character?

...What an enormous pain in the ass.

@KJ: Sorry for that small rant against you. Glad to hear that, though.

@exploits: I am currently experimenting right now how to get past the barriers. Knowing Anet and their history of ShadowStepping exploits, I'd say they expected us to find out sooner or later and decided to keep the content in anyways as a sort of reward for those who got past. Otherwise, they would've only inserted the secret lab and closed it off completely.

So, if it helps anyone, I seemed to have done it the same way as the pet glitch: Use Strike As One on the Villager blocking the path, hope it gets to the left side of her, and double-click Recall (You need to use Recall on the pet as soon as you zone into the area) If you want all of your party to follow you, just give them Recall and have them put it on you, then they pop it once you've made it.

Looks like just recall was used.

At least edit his names out of the screenshot, displaying a build he was uncomfortable with sharing isn't exactly right either.

Is there more than one secret lab now? I haven't been following any of this WiK stuff so.

Edit: NM, found it on GuildWiki finally.

Also, did you all miss this? I'm not seeing any thread about it?

Thanks to Neil2250 and Zora.

Just take a look at the WM at the northern part of Watchtower Coast.

Nice skins.

Can we expect Shining Mantle skins also?

Good update, a lot of problem skills were addressed.

Forcing us to watch boring "cut scenes" to get new content is cruel...Just give us the loot. Don't force feed us bullshit we don't care about.

Another one speaking for everybody. Jeez.
Just like all things in life...you should work for the reward.

Afking through a cut scene is work? Why not add in oh I dunno fights? Last time I checked the game was full of monsters to kill. At least that has some semblance of fun.

Lucci_Slevin · May 16, 2010, 08:17 PM // 20:17

Some more pics

Some dialogue from Blimm

I am not that smelly.

Yay thanks! I'll try it, I was already thinking to wait for the villager to die of old age or hunger to pass

You know you're not compelled to "partecipate" in these things if you think they're boring, right? Nobody will give you a cookie anyway if you do it. Just avoid speaking for everyone, some people happens to find this content funny.

LoKi Foxfire · May 16, 2010, 08:20 PM // 20:20

I'm guessing by the pet you used that to Recall past? I saw the skill bars posted earlier... I was able to get one of my heroes past the Villager but got myself stuck in the process haha.... going to grab my pet and use that to get by now.

Yea of course my point was to make a wide statement and speak for everyone. Obviously not everyone thinks sitting through a ton of text going over the top of the screen is boring. But I sure as hell do. There are ways in which you can make these events interesting and I don't think Anet's doing it. If I wanna read a bunch of text I'll go read a book.

I forgot that in order to fight new enemies, they have to drop new and valuable items...

The Live Team has, over the coarse of 2-3 months, put in more story than Factions had. They have also put in more interesting AI to fight than any other campaign, and you are complaining about having to read something in an RPG without being told to fight something?

LoKi Foxfire · May 16, 2010, 08:45 PM // 20:45

Got past the Villager. Just Strike As One using a pet until it gets far past him so that you don't get stuck yourself when you click off Recall. Need to bring skills on your henchmen or precast enchantments before entering the "Loose Magic" effect if you plan on fighting enemies.

So don't participate and go kill something elsewhere. What's stopping you?

OH I GET IT! You want this very specific content to cater to you. Not going to happen.

Sirds · May 16, 2010, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Anyone get new skin already from Divinity Coast?
Only old skin for me

Tested in hard mode also but faced lvl 32 minions

and get wipped.

Chronos the Defiler · May 16, 2010, 09:26 PM // 21:26

At least everytime they update these proph areas for the WiK stuff, they update all the textures and shaders....new Divinity looks nice and grim in the swamp :P

EDit: the peacekeeps also use a skill (with the Charm Animal icon) with no animals nearby, and is named "..." as well

It seems the farthest we can go (right now) is to the gate at Shaemore, the guards are hostile and we cannot enter, but there are enemies inside

Edit again: you dont need ANY teleport/shadowstep skills to get past the guard, but it takes some time.
