Updated Zaishen Rewards

* Added the new Zaishen title track, which can be displayed in the Hall of Monuments. Each rank in the Zaishen title track unlocks a new emote. To display the emote, enter /Zaishen or /Zrank once rank 1 or higher has been unlocked on the account.

* Added new monthly tonics to the Zaishen Chest. These new tonics will alternate each month.

Automated Tournaments

* Updated Automated Tournament map rotations.

* Increased the number of tournament reward points awarded for Monthly Automated Tournaments to 4,500 for GvG, and 1,500 for 1v1.

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that caused an infrequent crash when a Signet of Capture was used.

* Fixed a bug that caused Heroes to not use spells on allies under the effects of Spell Breaker, Shadow Form, and Obsidian Armor.

* Fixed a bug that caused Assassin Heroes to occasionally attempt to use dagger skills when they did not yet meet the combo requirements.

* Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the Refined Jelly art to appear as white and become unstackable with other items of the same name.

Miscellaneous

* The Xunlai Tournament House NPC now offers prizes for the April tournament and can be found in the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan.

* Improved Hero AI for using the Necromancer skill Feast for the Dead.

* Improved Hero AI for using the Necromancer skill Taste of Death.

* Improved Hero AI for using the Monk skill Dwayna’s Sorrow.

* Updated buff effects from Ritualist spirits to show the time remaining on the buff.

* Altered the text color for the Everlasting Tonics to green to better distinguish them from other drops found in the Zaishen Chest.

* Altered the icon colors for Beetle Juice Tonic, Transmogrifier Tonic, and Yuletide Tonic to prepare for new tonics to be added in the next year.

WTF at Zaishen emotes? Discuss.

My first impression was ''Oh great, another way for people to make ''In your face'' jerk moves after killing someone. But come to think of it, they may not really hold that much ''E-leetness-status'' if you will, who knows.

PvE'rs finally get emotes.

What a freaking useless, stupid update.

So... no skill adjustments. I'm more worried about that than a silly title being buyable.

ROFL ROFL!!!

*When you use a Zaishen Key on a Zaishen Chest, you get 5 Zaishen Reputation Points.

Thats over 20k Z keys to max the title. @ 2.5k each thats over 50 mill.

How about improve Hero AI (run like hell if someone is targetting you, especially when u get hit by Maelstrom, Meteor Shower, etc.) Enemy AI kites like champs. Why cant our own buddy AI grow brains like the rest of the freaking game.


Allow hero Henchies use of URSAN....so u dont have to do crap.

but the price of keys is gonna sky rocket to double what it was so pretty much this is the biggest money sink title ever

already a thread about the emote.

woooo, way to ruin a decent title, should have been based on faction accumulated

Short posts are what I do.

This is stupid.

Apparently you guys missed the like 6 page long thread about this posted an hour ago.

Can anyone tell me what the new hb map rotation is. I cant find on wiki or guildwars.com

So intead of making emotes for KoaBD which you can not buy( yes u can buy a few of the titles, but not all), they add this buy a emote title. Why is Pvp getting any more rewards. Only thing i can see how fix this is to allow people to trade in skill points for Zkeys.

That's very nice

anet phailz imo

Lol, the more I think about it, the funnier the whole title thing becomes.

All it will say is ''Oh look, I have a lot of money'' heh.

Its not like it takes 5 minutes to farm up z keys. The averager pvper will get 1 key every 30-45 min and thats not even 2 keys an hr which would be 6k an hr. So stop QQ about pvpers getting rewards because the average pvpers dont get nearly as much reward as the average pveer.

Hey guys! Are you ready to literally piss money into the whole of zaishen!? You can now with Zaishen title track! How you do it...

1. Get a lot of gold
2. Let the price skyrocket
3. ????
4. You win!

/age = 35 months. Where do i find Zaishen keys anyway? Is it Quest based or another Expansion?

To be fair Thizzle and others, the z-chest is NOT a gold sink. The money doesn't just vanish, it goes to other (financially smarter) players.

We better let the chinese gold farmers back on!
