GW: War in Kryta

swtzbcarroll@nospam.com (Deadi) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:28:15 -0500

WARNING: You may only access this content if you have completed Prophecies or Eye of the North. If Prophecies is the one of the two you have completed, you must also own Eye of the North.

I'm going to do my best to attempt to explain what you need to know about the War in Kryta. This LINK does a great job of summing up the overall experience.

The Lore (summarized):

The Krytan king flees as the charr invade
Saul D'Alessio found the White Mantle (worshippers of the Mursaat)
The Mantle defeat the charr in Kryta
It becomes known that the Krytan king sired an illegitimate daughter (the rightful heir to the throne, Salma)
A group of rebels (the Shining Blade) fight to bring Salma into power
The Mursaat are destroyed and Confessor Dorian (a Mantle leader) is killed weakening the Mantle's hold on Kryta
Kryta is plunged into civil war

New Enemies:

New White Mantle units and Bosses
Jade Armors and the new Jade Cloaks (Earth eles)
Peacekeepers (hired mercenaries to seek out the Shining Blade)
These new enemies are known to drop new items and minipets

New Allies:
New allies and escorts will spawn at the onset of each battle in Kryta.

New Explorable Areas:

Lion's Arch Keep - Shining Blade HQ
Divinity Coast - previously Mission only
Riverside Province - previously MIssion only
D'Alessio Seaboard - previously Mission only

New Quests:

Shining Blade Bounty - every day the Shining Blade offer a bounty (much like the Zaishen bounty) for a particular Mantle boss
There is also a questline which is required to open most of this content
The final of these quests is [Difficulty: Master] and rightfully so. It is very difficult. I promise that you will find it challenging at the least.

New Items and Collectors:

Confessor's Orders - dropped by Mantle and Peacekeepers and traded in for War Supplies
War Supplies - Quest reward and bounty reward - traded in for Royal Gift or Medal of Honor
Royal Gift - A gift from Salma - may contain any number of goodies (including ultra rare minipets)
Medal of Honor - traded to collectors for new unique items or oppressor items (new skin; very cool)

So how do I get started?:
The questline is literally a nightmare. Here is the flow chart:

Yea exactly. It's crazy. But very rewarding. Hopefully these links will help.

New Siggy For Me

WahlsTheSniper@nospam.com (Dr. Wahlz) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:16:35 -0500

Would any of you be willing to make a signature for me? I'd do it myself but I find my time dwindling away from me. If you can, I would like some sort of mix of something Guild Wars 2 related on the left side with the GW2 logo at the top left and the font as closely replicated to the Guild Wars font as possible saying "United we stand... divided we fall." at the bottom left. On the right side, I want an image of Zeratul from Starcraft 2 with Dr. Wahlz in the Starcraft font (it is on www.dafont.com, I checked)at the bottom right and the Starcraft II logo at the top right. The way the two images come together would be a steep diagonal rip effect. In the center of the image, put in with the Starcraft II font United As One. All of the text, make it faded into the background.

Yes, I know they are pretty specific but if you can think of some way to make it look better, be my guest and show me so I can tell you what I think.

MW2 Test Build 8

swtzbcarroll@nospam.com (Deadi) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:26:22 -0500

Primary Weapon: M4A1
Attachment(s): Red Dot
Secondary Weapon: Spas
Attachment(s): Grip
Equipment: Claymore
Special: Smoke
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro
Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro
Perk 3: Ninja Pro
Deathstreak: Painkiller
Killstreak: Predator, Harrier Strike, Chopper Gunner or Harrier Strike, Chopper Gunner, Tactical Nuke

Gametype: Any non-HC
Map: All
Strategy: This is a general build used to defend spots easily without having to worry about losing ammo. If someone gets past your claymore, take your spas out and kill them with that. The M4A1 is effective from mid to long range. Use your scavenger to put up to 2 claymores up at one time, usually blocking the entrances to where you are at or directly on the objective to warn you if there is someone there if the explosion went off without killing anyone (very effective in S&D, plant claymore at A or B, then camp the other spot).
