Never buy something newly released unless you plan on keeping it.

which one? mini smite or mini dhuum?

mini dhuum should be as hard to get or harder to get as mini ghostly, but seeing as people have ALREADY gotten it, doesnt seem that way

should be as rare as mini polar bear drop from wintersday chest or at least nearly as rare

Mobway is a panacea for bad players, it's not a speedclear. Elite-less critscythes traveling together like a balanced team, dealing 2/3rds damage just because your monks are bad and/or you can't find an imba? OK.

If 600/Smite can figure this out, then we're talking.

So, ANet had a good look at SF and decided that the rewards for this particularly hard way of playing the game simply weren't good enough for the skill and investment players were making to run SF.

This new update to add more nice rewards to the underworld should go some way to address this problem. Sould SF sins continue to struggle in the game then I am sure more will be done to help the plight of this group of players.

Lol. The understated sarcasm deserves a +1 from me. So true...

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that the update supposed to " nerf " perma in the uw was completed by a ( and as much as I see from this thread, that is the only team so far?) F u l l SF team? lol?

Eragon Zarroc · Nov 20, 2009, 06:13 PM // 18:13

there were 2 monks in the team ;-)

Kha · Nov 20, 2009, 06:20 PM // 18:20

It's cool that they put Dhuum in the game for lore reasons. Other than that, putting him at the end of clearing UW is dull and I don't really have any desire to fight him. Oh well, no ugly scythe for me *cry cry*

Maybe they'll add Menzies at the end of FoW in a few months when they need another way to keep the game alive...

So you need a full team and have to enter in HM to access this quest? And then you need to complete all the other quests to get to it? For me and others with little time on our hands this is a big o punch to the nuts.

WTB Run 20- ? k need to AFK for a few minutes.

Believe me the Sin runs will be coming.

Don't even think of the quest. Its normal UWSC but when you beat Dhuum you can talk to the ice king to get your 100 tot reward. Only diff between people with the quest and those without is you can tak to king for a reward.

Jensy · Nov 20, 2009, 06:33 PM // 18:33

You don't have to do this in HM.

You just need to do all of the quests in either mode.

You don't even need to have done the other quests. Just needed to talk to steward if you want the reward.

Although many people assumed this was leading up to a UWSC nerf and/or a SF nerf, nothing was ever said that those would be dealt with. Anet has said they were looking into it, and that it was on their 'to do list', but they never said when or how they would do it. Am I happy they gave UW some new stuff? Absolutely. Am I happy they made Speed Clear the preferred method to do it? Not one bit.

I'm still expecting a nerf to Shadow Form, but I don't expect it this year, or even to be done well. Most likely it will be nerfed after Wintersday and cause more problems than it is supposed to fix.

Symeon · Nov 20, 2009, 06:53 PM // 18:53

Has anyone else noticed the announcement of the update on the login screen? An interesting development, particularly after the communication failures over the Halloween quests.

Yea, the system is furbared. Why do in 4 hours what you can do 4 times in an hour or less?

Awesome! I came to say something similar. So Shadow Form was causing such a problem that instead of just getting rid of it or even nerfing it some they now make the rewards for using Shadow Form Sins even greater? lol Seriously?

Am I missing something here? What the Freak are you guys at Anet thinking? Seriously...I think this behavior needs some sort of official Anet explanation. I have always had faith that Anet does the right thing when it comes to running Guild Wars, but this just makes me shake my head and wonder about how Guild Wars 2 will end up.

No they won't. UWSC kinda need every player to actually do something.

And... wah wah "it takes effort and time to do an elite area." If you can't find 3 hours in one weekend to play a game... bull.

Edit: @ Mirfrost: Your thread was deleted because the Dhurram skills that were listed on the wiki had been found in the Guild Wars .dat file over 3 weeks ago. Your title about "Dhumm coming soon" wasn't true per se... it was just a lucky guess that he came the next day. We already knew he was coming. We had already known those skills, your thread proved nothing and was slightly misleading. Thus it was removed.

I have two little mesmers at home one is a level 2 and the other is a level 5 and they are the best intrupters in the game. I am lucky to get a 2 window to play at a time. Not tring to QQ too much but was really hoping for more of a solo quest. My computer does not mind if I walk away in mid play but a team of humans may get a little pissed.

(And Malice they have a smite crawler going for 230E in the highend already)

Jebus · Nov 20, 2009, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Uhh, so another quest I'll never be able to finish on my warrior
