Winds of Change

The Ministry of Purity has heard your cries. They are organizing volunteers to purge the Afflicted from our lands once and for all. If you will lend your arms to the cause, speak with Initiate Zei Ri on the streets of Kaineng Center. Strength in unity; together, we overcome.

Automated Tournaments

Updated the 2011 Automated Tournament Series Trophy in the Great Temple of Balthazar.
Updated the Automated Tournament map rotation.

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

Iza Yoi have some new weps in KC. Paper Fan skins ^^

Nice, I just started the first quest, the new Afflicted are lvl26 in NM and have 2 professions, saw a warrior use hammer skills and Aftershock, and eles have Searing Flames opposed to regular ones that have Mind Burn. RoJ + SF = Ouch

Also, beware the Necros steal minions.

Looks to me these Afflicted are using meta-ish pve builds

Darn, I was about to make this, but glad to see someone was quicker than me.

Nonetheless, I'm going to say it right now before anything else: Anyone expecting Lv50 enemies the size of Abaddon's left fist?

Invoke builds on eles , mesmers with cry esurge and dual enchs rem.: shatter and drain. Goin` for hm

SoS rt`s also

Initial impressions:

-Quests seem to be "go there, kill stuff, get reward." Somewhat unimaginative.

-Purple rarity weapons are cool. Fully moddable Platinum Staves + Paper Fans are very nice.

looks epic. starting new quest now

Dual Jittes, eh? Interesting choice...

It`s been long since kc was last this full.

Dirty Am Fah -,-

Yayy!! Been waiting for this for months, just bought the new costume pack and about to start the new quests.

Interesting they chose the most unpopular aspect of Factions, the Afflicted to recycle.
And what a coincidence..new micro transaction items to buy with this update. Funny how they appear now with every 'content' build.

naw to me it was dealing with togo.eww that man *shivers* but yeah you should know by now they milk all the money they can for gw2. xD to bad i cant afford it now *sighs* and since its limited edition no being able to get it later down the road when i can ;/

Dragonguard Costume & Aegis of Unity Costume





They're kind of 'big', I like the claws on the Dragon Costume. The Aegis of Unity one is kind of glowy in the default and you can't dye the mask. Where as all the red on the Dragon one can be dyed, mask and body.

zei ri's armor looks bad ass...

yes and for good reason considering it gives us a chance to wipe them out once and for all taking away all the afflicted spawns afterwards

edit: as for the costumes, it's a good idea to have them as it gives them money (they are a business after all). It also means if you like the content, you can buy the costumes to support the company.

Anyone get any new greens yet? Just ran into a new boss (Am Fah mesmer)

Maybe it's just me, but the first quest: The enemies are the same level in both NM and HM.

Im seeing MMs, Invoke ele, VoR mesmers, Roj monks, SoR/spirit bond monk and hammer wars.

dual jitte? Can some one explains. That looks interesting!

They're purple inscribable daggers from Kaineng Center in exchange for 15 Ministerial Commendations.
