I still think they should be for only level 20 characters, at the very least.

Gaile Chat today said to expect it before midnite Pacific.

If I remember correctly, the same chat said you would NOT have to do the bonus part of the mission to get into Hard Mode.

It's up over at http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forum...d.php?t=449558

Keep hitting my "-files" GW short cut too. Can't wait to play this.

Hopefully anet will make the elite tomes accessable through non inflatable means, otherwise those things are gonna be going for at least 30K each.

At least it will force some of the PvE - only players who are to afraid to delve into PvP to at least try it.

ok so if someone doesnt have nf what good would sunspear ranks do them???? And the minions of abaddon are in nf, none are in factions or prophecy....are they going to add them to these areas?? (or change ones already there to say that they are now minions of abaddon---like they did in the last mission or so in nf).

Dude, nothing matters to the eBayers.

Skill hunter title = GG, I loved everything about this update until i read this.

You still have to have the elite unlocked on the account.

People have been complaining for ages about having to unlock elites on multiple characters. This seems like a fair compromise.

And the elites are already available to your heroes.

Besides, this is just going to increase the likelihood that PUGs will be able to have the skills necessary to do a mission/quest.

I agree that it devalues the Skill Hunter title a bit, but I never saw anyone go on about how very difficult it was to do in the first place (although I think it's a bit of a slog to do it...not hard, but a bit expensive and takes time...but that's describes most in game titles in one way or another).

Over all, I'm pretty happy with everything I've heard about Hard Mode so far. Hope that the actual implementation is even better.

Hopefully 9 minutes!

What does ETA mean?

Well... it's much harder than Savannah Heat. I can remember having some problems the first time I did it. Although when I went to help my friend to capture it, it was rather easy.

ANTICANCER · Apr 20, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

i can see it now we will be in great northern wall for 1-3 hours

eggs0wn · Apr 20, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

Past 8 p.m. and no Update. 9 hopefully....

I want them to release it soon so I can play before I go to sleep!

Bryant Again · Apr 20, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

Well, it's not happening at eight, it seems...Unless they pop it in at 8:30 (this is EST).

I'm sure ANet is getting a kick out of this.

MSecorsky · Apr 20, 2007, 12:09 AM // 00:09

I can see them furiously trying to finish that mission they're on... um, I mean... furiously doing some last minute testing...

4ssassin · Apr 20, 2007, 12:10 AM // 00:10

And just like that, I'm afraid I will be asleep before the fat man in red (hard mode) comes down my chimney (phone line?)...

I'll leave out biscuits and milk.

lucifer_uk · Apr 20, 2007, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Right no update.... gonna go catch some shut eye then come back early morning. What's the betting they add it 5 mins after I go?

Ta ta people.

Kelv · Apr 20, 2007, 12:18 AM // 00:18

Anyone else getting massive Code=58s? (the one saying you have a router issue)

I dont understand it, haven't been able to log on all day, but have been able to browse the internet without any speed drops or anything.

I really want to get this fixed before the update, any help would be appreciated

thezed · Apr 20, 2007, 12:24 AM // 00:24

The real question of the day is how long will this thread get before HM is released?

Thus my hope for some good Paragon skills.

I can imagine that too lol.

I can't believe I expected Anet to release something on time Q.Q

Ok, I think some people may be happy about the hard mode with more gold, better drops, and new items. You'd be like. Oh weeee.... level 28 mountain trolls, more p00n ass drops for me!!! Guess what, maybe not! The AI will be smarter and more flexible and not only that, the monsters would have better skills to counter 55 farming bots, which they are annoying. Besides which, ANet condemns farming, like their "anti-farm code," nerf of Maatu Keep area for invinciblementalists (manage to go around that, though slower), and of course for invincimonks, the Spirit Bond. I bet that they will nerf Protective Spirit as well.
