User:Rainith

'''I'm on vacation from May 28th - June 3rd. I'll have net access, but I hope to be spending most of my time by the pool.

I use Rainith as the my name in most online games, it harkens all the way back to MUDs in the early '90s.

Guild Wars Faction Backstage Pass Event
Ok, just got back and wanted to put a few notes up here before I rush to bed (as I gotta be at work in ~8 hours).


 * I saw one new pet in Factions, Tigers.


 * There is right now a developer's 1 on 1 PvP arena (no word on if/when it will go live for the rest of us)


 * The team I was on won the 2 games of PvP (no thanks to me, as I didn't play, but I'm still glad we won). It was a new type of PvP that they called a Sealed Tournament in which both teams are given a set of skills (in this case 25 from each profession) and no skill can be used twice on each team.


 * One of the new missions is called Gyala Hatchery in which you have to protect newly born turtles from attacks.


 * One of the new "story" henchmen (like Devona) is a Tengu. I saw him in the Factions newbie area where he is a Warrior trainer, and he was one of the henchmen in the mission I mentioned above.


 * My new favorite Collectable Drop is dropped by Nagas in the newbie area, it is a Naga Hide. *rimshot*


 * The skill name is Flesh of My Flesh not Flesh My Flesh (I remember seeing a question about that somewhere here)


 * Cities have multiple areas now, as in you go thru a portal and are still in the city. The main city that you can travel to from Lion's Arch (name escapes me) had three that I ran though, and I didn't explore it all the way.


 * Gaile Gray is a really nice person who seemed to be really stressed at this event, Isaiah Cartwright is cool too. In fact all the Anet people I met seemed that way.


 * Hell's Belles is my new favorite cover band (all female AC/DC band), they really reminded me of my High School years as a good friend of mine was into AC/DC.


 * Gaile confirmed that we (or any fansite) cannot use images from magazines/commercial sites until/unless that exact image appears on the official site (the two pre-order pics that were uploaded from the IGN article will be deleted as soon as I am done typing this). If we want to use an image from another fansite we need to get their permission.

That's all I can think of at the moment, tomorrow I'll scan the badge I got, also got a GW t-shirt, plus free food and drinks. Let me tell you if this is what the gaming press is used to, I should work for them... except for that pesky having to write stuff....
