when you're at the login in screen, there is now an option to select your region...that basically tells me that you will HAVE to be in a region that has favor to get in DoA

He said missions, not quests.

Having Koss or Orgu running around in FoW armor will be sweet since I never liked warrior FoW to get it for my warrior but would not mind having a hero with it
If Razah is here then there might be an armor upgrade for him after doing a quest or something like that.
But I still think armor upgrades are for us and it has to do with inscriptions.

If thats the case then I hope all the whiners stop complaining and realize how great Anet is by listining to us.

Special weekend? Sounds like a weekend only event which would be very bad.

I think someone mentioned this site below but this is Gailes Logs, and it was really helpfull to read as she mentions a lot of things about this weekend.

How about weapons with exchangeable mods where we can apply many different mods to one weapon while of course only one pre- and suffix can active.

Ofc, 1 of the circles is not available in the torrent map, PROBABLY a town accesable via DoA will be there. This means u can MAP there and you do not need to have favor every time u enter DoA. Also as I explained before, it means it will be Urgoz/Deep/Tombs like Mission with nice rewards at the end.

bushe · Nov 29, 2006, 04:06 PM // 16:06

I haven't even tried to read all the replies here so apologies if someone already stated it, but, I notice a correlation between the '4 new areas to explore' and the 4 god's realms that don't exist right now. That would be idea for me!

Guildmaster Cain · Nov 29, 2006, 04:19 PM // 16:19

If you look at this map-screenshot, there is a unknown area in Realm of Torment. This is rumoured to be the DoA, which you probably get transported to via the Statue.
If you look at the exits, it has 5 in total. The 4 bottom ones lead to purplish areas, which correspond to portals, as seen in other Torment maps. The upper one probably leads to Gates of Torment (the first city), very similar to the exit on the Shadow Nexus town, also back to Gates of Torment.

Note that the town looks rather big, compared to other Torment towns.

This is the original thread:

I think this will be the Elite Area..it has 4 portals to exploring areas.
You can also check it with Full Screen Gamma on max and have a look on your minimap

Ooh, nice find! That definitely looks like it's it. I assume the fifth portal leads back to the Chantry.

Alex Weekes already confirmed that it's not a weekend event, just the "grand opening" of the area.

Read the update notes- that doesn't have anything to do with the elite mission, they're for the Chinese beta.

To the people arguing that "They never said new armor...," I say, reading the entire thread is win! This image which is part of a Gaile chatlog was posted all the way back on page seven. Oh wait, that's like only three pages back...

Alleji · Nov 29, 2006, 05:17 PM // 17:17

I'm afking my lightbringer title in preparation for this elite mission >.>

gabrial heart · Nov 29, 2006, 05:30 PM // 17:30

Here's my speculation for what it's worth. First, i think it's going to be an outpost, maybe not a fast travel one, but an outpost none the less. There was mention of quests (10 i think) and a mission. Being an explorable, there will more then likely be some questing involved to even get to the mission itself.

Gaile confirmed "new armor", the login confirms "new weapons" and the scribe confirms "new gem types" all with new ways to acquire. Pretty sure there is nothing there for heros armor, you can exchange thier armor in the challenge missions as it is.

As far as favor, the way it works now and I'm absolutely sure this is the case, is that you cannot access Komir without favor, so this may either change or it may just be that once you get through you can just fast travel. With as much complaints about the favor system as is, i would hope they didn't make favor a req.

Was'nt the context of the question about armor in ch4 and it not being as 'ugly' as ch3's?

Not saying there won't be new armor(I've mentioned a few time I think we're a set short) but just making sure the context of Gailie's answer is taken into account. The website only mentions Armor Upgrades..

2 Days till we find out. Get saving those rubies, Sapphires and Diamonds. 120/120/40 I bet

I doubt that has anything at all to do with anything more then providing the asian areas with a fast switch due to the release of the chinese beta. It is after all only the asian areas in the list, no euro or american servers there.

KoalaMeatPie · Nov 29, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

GM Chan, how was it ever possible to get the screenshot without actually going in there? After All, the map needs to be uncovered and It doesn't seem that simple without access.

As the first person to post it explained, it was due to a crappy video card.

Not only can you see it on the U map, but you can also get a good view of it from the Gate of Secrets:

And and new log she said this

Might be decoratives for already existing armour as well.

Phoenix Ex · Nov 29, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

*cross fingers* Hope for merchant weapons that cost 3000 plat....and hopefully no dumb favour requirement to get in.
