I'm actually not 100% sure this is the true "elite mission" for Nightfall that will include Razah that Gaile had told us about. If you notice, it refers to it as a "new elite area", and it sounds a lot more like the UW and FoW than it does an elite mission. Either way, it's awesome that we're getting new content already, but please don't automatically assume that "new elite area" = "elite mission with Razah in it" and then come back here flaming to high heaven if it ends up being two seperate updates. Gaile _did_ say it would be around Christmas when the Elite Mission+Razah update happened, so if this is it then it's early.

Either way, like I said, it's great that they made new content for us already, just please don't automatically assume something only to be horribly let down if everyone's favorite profession-shifting hero isn't part of this new area.

EDIT: I just read a log in another thread that does seem to indicate that in a recent chat Gaile referred to the Elite mission as the Domain of Angish, so in that case, all the better. Still, I'm just going into it with the attitude of "Awesome, new content!" and if Razah is part of it, perfect, if not, I'll know he's coming later this month.

didn't an earlier issue of the scribe say that there were rumors of a "new area" with plenty of gems? this is probably it, and the gems will probably drop off monsters occasionally...

Hey, the reason it's coming so soon was because it was supposed to be included with the launch.

Anyways, I'm rank 8 - you guys can stop complaining about rank discrimination that doesn't exist yet. If I spent 50 hours AFK for my title to get into groups, I deserve to be better off thanks to my effort. Plus, it helps keep newbs from ruining PUGs (which I don't do) .....

I'd really like to know this one too. If they put more annoying restrictions on this other than completing the game, I'll be quite disappointed. The whole statue/kneel/spirit thing has me a bit concerned that thats how it will be done. We shall see.

Neo Nugget · Nov 28, 2006, 11:24 PM // 23:24

omg im like 2 missions away from beating it! *plays continously*This is awsome!

The elite mission was said to happen "In december" or "Closer to Christmas" (and this was in October going into November, so closer to Christmas can very well mean just December) - I think everyone just assumes December=Christmas. But notice the date this starts on...December 1st lol.

----------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I JUST bought the Shards for FoW armor, and have most of the money needed for Ectos and am waiting for more pleasureable ecto prices to buy them.

So if this update has "Cool Leetzor Weapons" and such for people to dump their ectos into buying - then all's better for me to come in and pick them up while they are low (anyone remember 3kea ectos at Factions release?)

I guess Judgment Day will begin a few days early.

Progor · Nov 28, 2006, 11:27 PM // 23:27

50 hours afk makes you non-newb? Wow, I should leave my character camped in a town for a few days. Then I'll know all about how to play a dervish.

jon0592 · Nov 28, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

-To the concern of people's new gem idea. I think it's going to be an emerald, if there will be a new gem.

-To the new "armor upgrade" idea, I think it's for the remaining heroes, seeing as you "upgrade" their armor.

P.S. Where do you guys get the LB points for r8?

scrinner · Nov 28, 2006, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Wait wait... Is it confirmed that THIS is the elite mission? Didnt Gaile say the elite mission is coming in a few months?

As said, AFK Farming in the Realm of Torment. Which exemplifies the absurdity of Loki FoxFire's boast.

I'm not grouping with anyone that has a R7 or R8. I'd prefer to group with people who are more likely to have obtained their LB Rank naturally, which indicated that they are actually dedicated.

Sasuke The Betrayer · Nov 28, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

YES!!! A NEW PLACE TO FARM!! lol

/pickme
FIRST ONE TO MAKE A BUILD TO SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Free Runner · Nov 28, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

"And of course a compelling mission as well"

I took that line as the elite mission sign...or maybe i took it the wrong way?

Good to see this new area. I will have fun doing the quests and hopefully gaining the much talked about Razah.This did come quicker than i expected but hell i aint complaining

Slomo · Nov 28, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

On the topic of size: Gaile DID say NOT SF SIZED.

There are 4 different elite areas to explore in the DoA, one which COULD contain THE elite MISSION...

See ya in there for a lot of Anguish

Phoenix Arrows · Nov 28, 2006, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Hmm...does anyone know if they are going to do that huge skill balance with the Domain of Anguish update as well? I doubt it though, as the Wintersday Ladder Season doesn't end till the 16th, not counting the matched battles of the highest ranked guilds.

I really hope that the armor upgrade means that we can inscribe our old armors. I got 15k Luxon for my Warrior but I chose +10 armor while in stance instead of +hp ><". So mad at myself.

My P has just done Dasha Vestibule, anyone know how far from the end?

Ok, and here comes rumor control.

First of all, don't start going "yes, it's going to be like this, because someone else who doesn't work for ANet said so." They are speculating, you are quoting them as if its authentic, that breeds rumors.

The Update is not going to be like SF in anything other than the fact that it will have an explorable area. Gaile already said they will not do any SF-sized updates. So yeah, you will get a small explorable area, some new quests and a mission area.

The only requirement, according to the flyer, is that you beat the game. Just because it is from a statue, do not automatically think it will require the same as the other statues. Here's a bit of flavor text for that...

Ok, with the Current FoW/UW area you get the "privallage" to access those realsm because you won favor (or more likely a small, elite guild did) in the Hall of Heros. The Gods went "This guy impresses us, please, come to our realm for a bit."

Now, if that spoiler I read was correct (again, this is an assumption, I haven't beaten the game, so take with a grain of salt) Kormir is some sort of Diety? Or something like that? *shrugs* Either way, its a Statue of Kormir, perhaps the only thing you need to "win Her favor" is to beat the game (as the flyer stated.)

Please, no one quote me, last thing I need is someone to start saying that as truth.

Also, novel has a definition meaning "new" as in "that was a novel idea." It could just mean new 'whatever.'

The game-interface notice about it says Novel Armor, so not even referencing weapons for that. What it does say is new Weapons aquisitiion method.

---

And I wouldn't worry about having problems getting into a group when it comes out.

No one will know what team/toon builds work the best, as no one has had any time to study it. Everyone will just group to go explore. Like when SF came out, or the IDS (I was actually beating monks off with sticks...) or any other "new and cool" thing.

There will be more people wanting in, with little patience. They will get a team, somewhat balanced probably, and just go. That's not speculation, that's just observation.

Remember that town that's missing on the Torment map. There's your Anguish.

Scutilla · Nov 29, 2006, 12:03 AM // 00:03

For those of you who haven't read the latest Gaile log yet, she confirmed that Razah will be in the update. Her lips are sealed on just about everything else, though.
