Talk:Winds of Change

To do: --Łô√ë îğá†ħŕášħ 12:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Afflicted have new skill bars
 * Am Fah have new skill bars and mobs
 * Jade Brotherhood have new skill bars and mobs


 * As I mentioned here, Some of the Afflicted have several possible skillbars. Necros definitely have 2 possible options, one using monk skills and one using rit skills. --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 12:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Also see here for new Purity skills and new Soul Explosions. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 12:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Precedence vs practicality
Currently, we have consensus for Initiate Zei Ri to be linked at the first occurrence within the article, I find this to be less useful than having it linked in multiple places/within the hierarchy of quest/NPC links. I find that it would be much more useful to readers if he was either a) linked in both places, or b, have the two sub-sections merged with a note disclosing the difference between the sets of quests. In its current state it is a fairly large inconvenience having to copy/paste his name into the search bar when you're not thinking / forgot that he was linked right above.

tl;dr article could be improved by changing the Zei Ri situation. Thoughts, Gwiki editors and readers? ∵Scythe∵ 00:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Listing it at the first appearance would be correct, however when I look at the page, what I see is: 'The ministry of purity.  In no special order, here are the quests given by: Zei Rei, Tsuriai, Zei Rei, Xan Hei...'  Oh, I know an order is used, its just not stated.  What about splitting things out not unlike how they appear here or here.  Or if I directly state it: If the current format is confusing to people, use a different format that precludes confusion.  As is, the page has very little to say on the ministry, it just offers up a list of quests in 'no special order'.  Yamagawa 01:08, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * here are my proposed changes. ∵Scythe∵ 01:27, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The quests are in the order that you do them in. What is so confusing about that?  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 04:15, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I pretty much agree with Ishmael. The order of the quests seems most important to me. --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 08:03, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I didn't catch that (not done past imperial guard and first run with zei ri), but here's my revised revision ∵Scythe∵ 16:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

No where near as good as War in Kryta
So far, rather disappointed -- some nasty missions in NM that become stupidly difficult in HM (aside from gimmick builds requiring special chars which you might not have) and not really good drops. Cantha has generally sucked when it came to drops (quality and quantity) all along, and no improvement here: So, nothing like confessor orders, royal gifts, minipet drops (unless these show up in the later add-ons). The 'never before seen imperial' weapons better be damn good, and not screwing rangers YET AGAIN (no envoy bows at all, destroyer bow is hideous, no animation in oppressor bows, etc etc etc) (have you guessed my main char is a ranger, yet?). If you're going for survivor, avoid this update like the plague. GW-Susan 01:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Areas bugged?
Some areas (i.e. Pongmei Valley, will check other areas later) have changed after I did the first quest (Bukdek only), even though I did not cleanse those areas yet. So I'm nowhere near Cleansing Pongmei Valley in the quest chain, but there are Am Fah there instead of afllicted. Anyone else noticed that? 83.81.245.78 06:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The lore side of the content is that you are cleansing Cantha of the affliction, of which the Am Fah are agents. It would make sense that the affliction is a static "condition" of Cantha while the content is in any state of progress.  For instance, areas of Shing Jea where there are usually no Am Fah are full of them for now. ∵Scythe∵ 14:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure those aren't Am Fah on Shing Jea, they're Scavengers. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I still could accept the idea of Am Fah, as "worshippers" of the plague, could appear in a post-Shiro world as a sign of a constantly changing and evolving world. What I don't buy is: why have the afflicted disappeared? I did only Cleansing Bukdek Byway. Right now there are no afflicted mobs in Pongmei, but somewhere in the future a ministry of purity person comes running to me, saying "Omg, der r all des afflctd, plz halp" and *poof*, suddenly the afflicted are back in Pongmei Valley, until I kill them, and then it reverts "back" to "post-afflicted" status. Huh? 83.81.245.78 11:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Well the rest of the Ministry of Purity haven't been sitting on their butts the whole time, y'know. Maybe they cleaned up the few Afflicted in the valley, and the new Am Fah moved in already.  This makes sense in light of the quest there, since you're not cleaning out all of the Afflicted, only this new monstrous one that appeared.
 * Whatever the lore reason, though, we obviously need more research on how exactly this all works. Someone get a character and do only Cleansing Bukdek Byway (maybe not even complete it, just have it active), then check all the other areas to see if they've changed.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 12:54, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
