Nothing wrong with 2 new titles, even if they require heavy grind (there's just not much to do in GW after all those years), but ofcourse it can be better than that.

The new titles don't need to work like old titles at all. They may be:
- not counting as max titles no matter if they have multiple ranks or not;
- be there just for showing your support to one of the sides of the conflict, like "Obey!" and "Dismantle!" and nothing more;
- depending on what the new content really is in terms of gameplay, those titles may have multiple ranks and the highest ones may require hundreds of hours or be completely unreachable. So what. Nobody NEEDS rank x in title y when there are no significant extra benefits to it.

Fair comment, but then we were also told that we would never be able to change character names and appearance, and we would never get extra storage. I'm sure costumes and a few quests will be released, but I don't think that'll be the full extent of it.

Sure but those comments (that char names weren't going to be available) weren't made during the time the character name changes were implemented. I assume they aren't going to say "there won't be a pvp map" while they are implementing a new pvp map.

- White Mantle Costumes (Obey)
- Shining Blade Costumes (Dismantle)

Come on! It's almost too obvious this is what will eventually happen!

I don't know if there is a separate thread on that image and doing tests on it, but did anyone try looking at it with 3D glasses?

The War in Kryta site is up!

http://www.guildwars.com/warinkryta/index.html

Just has a sumarry of the two opposing sides, with a new recapper NPC named Murro.

I am kinda disappointed with the summary on the warinkryta front page. I thought they would be kind of balanced for both sides but the way it is written favours the Blade. the profile page is what I expected, just not the frontpage

Karate Jesus · Apr 09, 2010, 01:57 AM // 01:57

Well, at least I got the costumes right.

Hope everyone is ready to fund Anet's new staff changes!

From Murro's dialogue on the page, it looks like it might be a new BMP.

*sigh* I hope something in this update is free.

They have enough of my money. Unless they plan to introduce "Gauntlet Mode" where you fight monsters endlessly until you die or quit. Depending on how far you get, you are rewarded with choices of items to choose from.

Of course, like that will ever happen.

Oh, and I officially announce my decision on being apart of the White Mantle.

Good to see they're being so original with the Shining Blade costumes Zzzzz

shoyon456 · Apr 09, 2010, 03:03 AM // 03:03

If it's anything I have to pay for such as costumes or a BMP, forget it. They can try again when they come out with that "GW2 game mechanics info" and maybe then I'll bite.

Altair Armor... cute...

Those are some badass-lookin' uniforms.

I have located the peacekeepers:

Leave from Beetleton and hug the right wall in Nebo Terrace. They're enemies, and there are dozens of them:

Essence Snow · Apr 09, 2010, 05:39 AM // 05:39

They seem to be all over Kryta...lots in Cursed Lands as well

I wasn't expecting anything similar to Sorrow's Furnace. I acknowledge that the Live Team is dreadfully small. With that in mind I was just hoping for something minor, maybe a re-opened PVP Arena (LA's, perhaps?) just reskinned and let the White Mantle and Shining Blade have at it.

Prometheus Tartarus · Apr 09, 2010, 09:12 AM // 09:12

it makes me angry that you cant side with the white mantle, shining blade are friendly, but mantle are hostile?

Why cant i go kill out where the blade are hanging out? but i can the mantle...

I would have sided with the mantle from the beginning though.

O.o chill out, take some deep breaths...

I think it'd been okay if you could but it'd just be another split, not really necessary.

White Mantle are evil. That is all.
