Curse

Ok so I was reading the PCGamer magazine again and noticed a few things...maybe they have been mentioned before, but I'll state them again.

Where are the "...floating castles and spires."? Magazine says that they are in Vabbi, I've mapped 99.8% of NF and have never seen one yet.

"In the city (Vabbi) library, text flows down magical fountains as if it was water and mystically float on tapestries" Haven't seen this either.

"At one point, however, you will return to a Vabbi that is quite different. Nearly consumed by evil, its immense towers - formerly pristine - have crumbled. The sky has gone dark, the vegetation destroyed, and the earth cracked. (One cool effect will have your character coming across isolated areas of light that resist the evil god's machinations: step into one and you'llsee the land as it was during its glory days." Must have missed that also

"One sub-area in the Realm of Torment has plenty of guts...as well as arms, legs, skin, and assorted vital organs. The appropriately named "flesh level" is deliciously macabre, with the environment stitched together out of bloated corpses." Must have also missed this, huh and I have completed the game would've remembered that.

Well that was just a few of the highlights from the article, not to mention that there is still no elite promised mission.

If you read the post Gaile made with regard to the Elite Mission - you would have your answer. There isn't one, and might be in an update coming up.

I have seen this when doing a quest.

Sounds like the Nightfallen garden

Kinda sounds like the tunnels in the first part of the gates of torment mission.

That's somewhat like the quest just prior to the Jennur's Horde mission, where you choose to go with Koss' decision instead of Melonni's.

Well I have seen those things, floating things are like the plants over fountains, the temple to Lyssia floats over a square lake. As for the darkness invading, this can be seen in the Gardens theve been overrun and have demans covering the place.

As for the realm of tormaent I havent been there so I cant say. But the places are there.

It's all in there (besides of course the Elite mission).

For floating castles and spires, go to the Temple of Lyssa in Vabbi. Look up. You fight a mission on the big floating thing right above you, in case you don't remember.

For the floating text, go to the "Wise" prince's (the name I couldn't remember let alone spell) palace, and look around. You'll see the text, a lot.

As far as the Nightfallen Vabbi, you will not see that unless you decide to follow Koss instead of Melonni (Melonni's option will send you back to Kourna instead).

The flesh level? I don't remember which Torment mission it is in, but I remember it well.

Artkin · Nov 07, 2006, 08:46 AM // 08:46

Okay so maybe some of these things are "kinda" there, yet it's not really as described or shown in the magazine.

Thanks for the input though...I'll go back and check those areas out again.

Sorry don't have time to read all the posts, so didn't know about the elite mission. If that is true though it's a raw deal. I know that I've read many things from ANet about the elite mission and how it wouldn't be entrance based like Factions. So they sold us something they didn't have. Don't get me wrong though I still love the game and will have plenty to do. It'll probablly be a "Sorrows Furance" type release I guess.

I have seen this. I think it could be in the Halls of Chockin. It's not a town or outpost, just a sub-section of the area called Holdings of Chockin.

I believe this is in regards to the Garden of Seborhin (sp?)...I remember going back there after "nightfall had come"...and everything was dark. Now I have completed the game all is light again.

Would this not be the start of the mission with all the terrorweb dryders? Did make me think about The Afflicted.

I have seen the 'magical tapestries' in Prince Bokka's throne room. Don't think it was considered a library, per se, but they were definately there.
