Embark Beach - the new mission hub that will make it super-easy to find groups! Thats it folks, you read it correctly. You can now pursue your GW1 achievements with a full hero party! I personally have mixed feelings about this, mainly because i believe teamplay is a major plus in GW and i dont really like the idea of being able to solo everything... But on the other hand, at the state the game is now (6 years old!) maybe this is a great thing that allow us veteran players to get our HoM fully charged for GW2 As you can see there are some great changes related to the survivor title and drunkard... As expected, the Party interface got changed because of this 7 hero introduction, and they also created a new Minion UI So basically we now have: - Easier Defender of ascalon due to the stuff added to pre-searing. - Easier Drunkard - Easier Survivor (since you can skip the leveling part and just restart whenever you want whithout the need to reroll) Other things worth mentioning on this patch are: Mercenaries! Basically you can create a hero that is a copy of a character of yours! If you are one of those ppl that always wanted to tryout Bloodspike in pve but never managed to convince 7 friends to play with you, this is your chance Still, i guess the heroes cannot use PVE-only skills yet, so for uber SPEED CLEAR runs, you will still have to play with a proper human team! New interfaces, new area that allows access to all missions... Seems that anet is wanting ppl to keep playing GW1 right till the end of it and thats the kind of thing that makes you know how much they love their product. Long live GW and lets hope the GW2 baby is on the way! more information @ http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/developer_updates/destination_embark_beach.php http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Developer_updates/20110303 http://www.guildwars.com/destinationembarkbeach/
