Update - Thursday, February 9, 2012 (Winds of Change Part 3)

.....stop messaging me...

OOOOOHHHH me wants to charm a panda.......how in the blink are we allowed to do this now????...anyways--dont care...me wants my panda!!!

Heh, I saw the CSI reference coming but I was barely able to catch the bit with the sunglasses.

"Time for me to be hitting the old dusty trail": Anet watches Family Guy.

I got an amusing Plague-Soaked Stave - all caster primary attributes, +5e >50, 10% recharge.
The fun parts are that a] it's literally just a common brown stick and b] it is as long as a stave (pretty much), despite being a wand.

Also got a water staff called Unending Night's Grasp: +5e enchanted, 20% longer enchantments, +30h - Spinal Staff skin.

I very much approve of this move to load the non-jackpot lottery items with weapons, rather than consumables - much more enjoyable to open.

I got a tengu support flares which summons 3 tengo tu help you pretty neat, although it looks like a firework and I accidently clicked on 1 D:

That was the best part of Guild Wars.. Ever. Seriously hard bosses i thought, i got Meteor'd by was his face then Spirit Rift by the other one, my 6/8 where dead, was surprised i finished it

Something to do with China not allowing the depicturing of endangered species dying. That was back then, but if I'm not mistaken there's been an overhaul to the way people can use the internet in China, and as a result it might be possible you can no longer play Guild Wars in China...which would presumably mean it is now okay to have Pandas in the game.

Not saying that's exactly what it is, but it could be something like that.

I like how they implemented the removal of WoC mods for areas by simply having a quest in your book. It let people who want to face the tougher mobs do so, and people who don't want to can get rid of them. Hopefully now we won't hear anyone else complaining about it.

It would be nice if they made it so WiK would disable the same way...

How many new quests were added?

Omg, I just got ripped off... The greens that come from the boxes are shit. Really? You make a +20% +30hp spear (which I already have) but your other greens are shitpoor garbage?

The quests were fun though. Shing Jea Monastary bombing birds with bottles of rice wine ftw.

Does anybody know if the spears that already exist are updated as well by the new build?

Anyone having any luck with Finding Jinnai [HM]? RIght now it doesn't seem like there is a safe spot to keep your heroes from getting rolled.

EDIT: Found a spot. Rushing north up the hill then up the stairs to your right. I just killed the guys there quick and setup my heroes near the door.

can also unlock the panda at Zaishen Menagerie for 15 gold zcoins or 80,000 balthazar faction. It's under the exotic pets section.

Let me guess, you use 40/40's with all or most of your caster builds and characters?

The new build didn't change the spears.

I still have mine and I loaded the new build, and they haven't changed from the guy.

Cool one

Has anyone confirmed whether the gold Imperial weapons can be added to HoM? I would assume not, but that would be great to know.

^^^ Neat wand.
