Hardmode Info is out!

Update: And the patch has hit. Be sure to share your opinion on the changes in one of the many threads currently living in the Common Discussion Forum!

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

Posted up on the Official Site you'll find a page with plenty of information on Hard Mode. Follow the link below to read up on what Anet has to say on it.

Within a matter of hours, Guild Wars players will be able to participate in a whole new challenge: Guild Wars in Hard mode! We thought you'd enjoy a little preview of this exciting update, so check out the Hard Mode Fact Sheet for a sampling of some of the many cool new elements that this update will add to the game.

A thread has also kicked off asking where you will go first in hard mode. Add your thoughts here.|||OMG. GW just got extra exciting. I especially love the new tomes!|||Lets hope it lives up to the hype, and isn't a case of overpopulating an area and sticking crappy conditions on.|||ill be the odd one out and go to the later missions ^^|||Free access to FoW/UW!

Unlock skills without skill points, maybe less then 1k in a few months! Reusable omni-keys! "Kill everything" title! (Easy/Quick)er LB/sunspear titles! With possible new skills! Equal difficulty/reward across the entire world! (unless FoW/UW/RoT are harder then the rest...)

I like hard mode already... And thank god I have good heroes on my major characters...|||I can't wait to try Visunah Square Mission in Hard mode *__*

And a way to enter uw/fow without favor.. =3

vanguisher title sound cool too..|||hmmmm......finally a way to get the perfect build at level 1 XD ^_^

No more wasting time in those beginners areas for those who've already done them.

Hint: Get in the game fast and do hard mode fast. Try and get the new items before prices have settled and you could make a fortune. 0_0|||Yayssss!!!!|||The features are very attractive and I look forward to them.

Vanquisher and Sunspear/LB points would go very hand-in-hand and give you something else to do while gaining your Cartography titles (I see Armaud handing out brochures saying "See the world, meet its inhabitants! Kill 'em all! and get paid for it!" )

And love the alternate option to access FoW/UW, regardless of favor (?).

Tomes are very much welcome, I'm aiming for Skill Hunter on only one character but would like to unlock the same elite for another character who hasn't gotten that far. As I have only so much free time (and gold) so it'll be like hitting lots of birds with one stone.

And yes, perfect builds at level 1 Not quite the across-the-account Skill unlocks I've seen being requested, but at least a good option.

The Tomes and Scrolls won't drop like manna in Hard Mode for sure, but that's added incentive :) wtt Passage Scroll for Elite Tome!

What remains to be seen is how the monsters' AI and skills will be... But we'll all find out in a few hours, won't we? :)|||Quote:

LOL, just tell people you need to bring specimens back to Nolani Academy for research.
