The Yakslapper. (It means freedom from being the heal monk for me. I HATE healing. I much prefer prot, but prot weapons are not so easy to come by.)

That is so WEIRD... because I just saved alot of money by switching to Geico!

Seriously... Killroy Stonekin is awesome. I playful nod to a hilarious video.

They didn't exactly "rip it off" from WoW either... the same situation could have been filmed in just about any online game. Leeroy just happened to be in WoW.

Thumbs up

That Kilroy quest was CLASSIC. Especially at the end when he runs in and aggro's all 3 mobs and you're sitting there going "Godamnit Kilroy!" The Get Me a Cold One quest was kinda funny too.

Green items are great, and I'm glad they made purples and golds a little more common, at least in Grenth's and the Furnace. I don't like or want to farm, and I almost NEVER got anything good doing skill caps, so it's nice to be able to get some pretty solid stuff a little more regularly. It's gotta be nice for the PvP crowd too, with more drops their odds of dropping something to unlock is a lot better now. That and the better faction gain, they should be happy with that part of things for awhile to come.

So yeah, overall, excellent update!

As far as quests go, Killroy is a classic... but the one I like best is "Last Days Dawn". Just what I was hoping for, being able to fight Charr in their own skin (15k Ascalon) without killing them in 2 hits. I loved seeing Adelbern pwn Armeggedon lords, also XD

One thing I don't understand, though, is the "Defend Denravi" quest... Remember, the White Mantle and Mursaat completely burned Denravi down, thus the Shining Blade fled to the Southern Shiverspeaks? I mean yeah... I guess they could repopulate the place, but it sure doesn't look like it was under any attack of some sort...

I liked the Infiltration quest the best. Being buddy buddy with the stonesummit while I observed their hideout was amazing, not to mention doing quests for them.

I really like the new attribute refund system.

Oh, and I also love my yakslapper. Not so much because of the stats, but that I FINALLY have a weapon on my monk that doesn't look like that goofy curley-Q "S" staff.

Let's see.....

The Titan quests are great. Droknar was so-so, but Denravi was INTENSE. I've tried Kryta, which was equally intense, but we lost, and that all I've done so far.

The Yakslapper. Not the weapon itself, but the name is awesome. I love wielding my Yakslapper!

Sorrow's Furnace, naturally. I've only done Alkar's quest at the moment, but it was, to say the least, incredible. Some of the most fun I've ever had on Guild Wars, period. If this is what the quest that no one seems to mentions is like, I can't wait to see the others!

Music is awesome. 'Nuff said.

Infinite Refunds, Sorrow's being a dungeon like catacombs, Guilds now better in many ways especially since you can invite people, Grenth's Footprint not being just one laid out path but having alternate and weaving routes, chests rewarding good items and green items to allow us to PVP and have fun and also unlock a lot of runes.

I loved the update, only thing is the 1 plat per skill (1PPS) which is kind of like moving the attribute refunds barrier to the other end. So that kind of reeks.

I seriously love the whole update. But if I had to choose I would say infinite refund points would come out on top, with honourable mentions to stone summit conversations (between themselves), Killroy (I think this one may fade tho) and the titan quests (I mean, I love the idea of going back to those places for a decent reason, not just the Frog).
