			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest game update has brought a fun new challenge to <strong>Guild Wars</strong> this weekend. A new boss has been added to the Underworld, designed to test players to the limit.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Something stirs in the Underworld. Something ancient, powerful, and utterly evil:  Dhuum. Banished eons ago by Grenth, this dark avatar of death has bided his time and grown in power. Now, Dhuum is free!  We’ve added this terrifying new end boss to the Underworld—face him if you dare.
</p></blockquote>
<p>According to Guild Wars lore, <strong>Dhuum</strong> was the god of death before Grenth, and he&#8217;s been mentioned in this context in quests like &#8220;The Four Horsemen&#8221; and &#8220;Gate of Torment&#8221;.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/E900D76F-B137-4E71-BCFD-711CC86415AF.jpg" alt="Guild Wars Dhuum dervish" border="0" width="150" height="158" /></div>
<p>Hints about Dhuum have been dropped in previous quests &#8211; &#8220;Don&#8217;t Fear the Reapers&#8221; reveals that Dhuum is sealed in the Hall of Judgement in the Ice Wastes of the Underworld.</p>
<p>Dhuum appears to have attracted Titans as his minions (those that remained after the defeat of Abaddon at the end of Nightfall), along with Riders of Dhuum and Emissaries of Dhuum.</p>
<p>This looks like a fun update to <em>Guild Wars</em>, and given how tricky questing in the Underworld can be, this could prove a real test for even the most experienced characters.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The end of October is approaching fast, and that means one thing in <strong>Guild Wars</strong> &#8211; the return of Mad King Thorn. The Halloween festivities will kick off this Friday 23rd October, with all the special Halloween events from previous years.</p>
<p>An extra for this year is the emergence of a new evil in the Underworld &#8211; talking to the Mad King&#8217;s Steward in either Kamadan or Lion&#8217;s Arch will unlock these new, challenging quests &#8211; only available in the Underworld during the Halloween celebrations.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/AFF2181A-F916-436D-9A73-5936E68B28CF.jpg" alt="Guild Wars Halloween Mad King Thorn Lion's Arch" border="0" width="256" height="140" /></div>
<p>The calendar of events includes:</p>
<ul type="square">
<li> Friday, October 23: The Halloween celebration begins at Noon Pacific time! The cities of Lion&#8217;s Arch and Kamadan and the towns of Droknar&#8217;s Forge and the Tomb of the Primeval Kings are decorated with dreadful décor. The Costume Brawl starts today! Halloween NPCs make their appearance in Lion&#8217;s Arch and Kamadan.
<li> Monday, October 26: The new series of Halloween quests starts in Lion&#8217;s Arch and Kamadan. Speak with the Mad King&#8217;s Steward to begin your adventure! Remember, these quests are only available this year, so be sure to complete them while you can!
<li> Saturday, October 31: Mad King Thorn appears every three hours in Lion&#8217;s Arch and Kamadan—all day! Participate in his events to receive this year&#8217;s Halloween masks. Remember—the Mad King rewards participants in both cities with a different mask, so be sure to attend at least one of his events in both Lion&#8217;s Arch and Kamadan to get both!
<li> Monday, November 2: The seasonal festivities conclude at 7am GMT
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Couple of good things to announce in <strong>Guild Wars</strong>. First of all, it&#8217;s a special Double Faction weekend. From 7pm (GMT) today, until 7am (GMT) on Monday, you can earn Double Faction when taking part in Alliance Battles. If you&#8217;re looking to boost your Title Tracks and gain some sweet rewards, this weekend is clearly the time to go for it.</p>
<p>Also announced is a 25% reduction in Xunlai storage pane upgrades:</p>
<blockquote><p>There’s never been a better time to expand your storage!  Xunlai Storage Panes are 25% off from October 7th through November 1st. Visit the Guild Wars In-Game Store or the NCsoft Store to take advantage of this limited time offer!</p></blockquote>
<p>I know I&#8217;m starting to run out of storage, as the amount of unique and rare items starts to pile up &#8211; and there&#8217;s only so much you can give to Guild members or sell on.</p>
<p>Double Faction will automatically take effect during the weekend, and the Xunlai upgrades can be purchased either from the NCSoft store, or from the in-game <strong>Guild Wars</strong> store.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the launch of <strong>Aion</strong>, NCSoft&#8217;s newest MMO title, coming very soon, we&#8217;ve been reading over at <a href="http://www.thegameguidehq.com/blog/aion-fun-in-guild-wars/">The Game Guide HQ</a> about a special emote available to <strong>Guild Wars</strong> players who purchase Aion before launch.</p>
<p>Apparently if you buy either the Steelbox Edition or the Limited Collector&#8217;s Edition of Aion, you&#8217;ll get a special key to add to your Guild Wars account. Doing so adds a special emote, that gives your Guild Wars characters a set of fully fledged Aion wings.</p>
<p>Sadly, it doesn&#8217;t mean you can fly in <em>Guild Wars</em>, and they don&#8217;t appear to add any other bonuses. Still, the videos of the emote look pretty impressive. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back from holiday, and it seems NCSoft and ArenaNet have been spilling the beans on <strong>Guild Wars 2</strong> at gamescom, Cologne. There are several good Q&#038;A interviews with the developers, which shed some light on the game design, mechanics, and how it&#8217;s going to feel to existing Guild Wars players.</p>
<p>Pause.com have an <a href="http://www.pause.com/index.php/guild-wars-2-exclusive-a-few-questions-with-mike-obrien/">interview with ArenaNet</a> studio head Mike O&#8217;Brien, which covers the new event system and the player-affected environment.</p>
<p>IGN.com have a <a href="http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/896298/guild-wars-2/videos/gcom09act_guildwars2_inv_08209.html">video interview</a> with Game designer Jeff Grubb and Art Director Daniel Dociu. They give the low down on the new underwater environments, as well as some background on what&#8217;s happened to Tyria in the last 200 years. Oh, and the dragons <img src='http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>IGN also have an <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1015971p1.html">interview</a> with Mike O&#8217;Brien, Eric Flannum, and Ree Soesbee. In it they discuss the storytelling issues with a persistent, non-instanced world environment, and also the five playable races we&#8217;ll be seeing.</p>
<p>Eurogamer has a good <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/guild-wars-2-preview_4?page=1">Guild Wars 2 Preview interview</a> with Lead designer Eric Flannum, covering the persistent world, the new PvP systems, and what they&#8217;ve tried to change from Guild Wars.<br />
IGN.com — Guild Wars 2 Q&#038;A</p>
<p>ArenaNet have also released a Guild Wars 2 trailer, which suddenly moves from concept art to actual in-game footage.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mArdJdR3SRg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mArdJdR3SRg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Guild Wars 2</strong> is looking pretty fantastic &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait for the open beta.</p>

<li> skill and armor guides cover both PvP and PvE builds
</li>

</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Our recommendation:</strong> A well written class-specific guide that will get you quickly specialised with a powerful Elementalist build. Suitable for new or experienced players. Caters to both PvE and PvP players.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="CENTER"><a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guides/gw/guide/guild-wars/elementalist?roia=!Y06xvq1BAAI2V2M1ODYAVQAAKCBCAABEfg-A">
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3EECE983-A48F-4734-8CA6-82D49252A918.jpg" alt="Download the Guild Wars Elementalist Guide Now" border="0" width="190" height="65" /></div>
<p></a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">The Elementalist can be one of the most powerful characters in <strong>Guild Wars</strong>, and is by far and away my favourite class. I&#8217;ve been playing an Elementalist since the UK launch of Guild Wars, getting on for four years now. With careful planning and a good understanding of attributes and the skills involved, Elementalists are the supreme damage dealers.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"><strong>The Unofficial Guild Wars Elementalist Guide</strong> doesn&#8217;t assume any prior knowledge of Guild Wars, and so is suited to complete beginners. Established players will find lots of helpful hints, and I&#8217;ve found that it makes a great reference to have to hand when playing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="CENTER"><a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guides/gw/guide/guild-wars/elementalist?roia=!Y06xvq1BAAI2V2M1ODYAVQAAKCBCAABEfg-A">
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/EFFB5B8E-D159-4350-967A-A983669C59AC.jpg" alt="The Unofficial Guild Wars Elementalist Guide" border="0" width="180" height="230" /></div>
<p></a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">The Guide covers the quickest and easiest route to progress your character from the starting areas up to Level 20. Along with the level progression is a guide to each are of Guild Wars, with details on short cuts to take to get to hidden outposts, and guides to specific tactics to deal with the unique monsters in each area. As a highly specialised Pyromancer, I picked up some good tips from this, and went back to play through some quests which had previously been a bit touch and go.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">The Elementalist Spells section is particularly handy. Not only does it contain a comprehensive list of spells, it also details their effects, and how to use them in different character builds. An elite skill capturing index shows you which mobs will drop which Elite Elementalist Skills, which is hugely helpful – especially if you&#8217;re pursuing the Title Tracks and need to capture all those Elite skills. Many builds depend on having a couple of Elite skills to choose from, and I&#8217;ve found this index to be a great help in tracking down the last few I&#8217;d missed.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">The armour guide is written with input from pro-gamers – the Guilds who compete for money in prizes at the highest level. It&#8217;s good to see input from people who really know their stuff, and the discussion about runes, and how to plan your armour to enhance your character&#8217;s build, will prove to be a great help to players wanted to specialise.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">Other sections include a guide to gaining <em>Guild Wars Gold</em>, with information on some of the best farming locations most suited to Elementalists. Using the devastating area of effect (AoE) skills that the Elementalist has, you can quickly earn some impressive amounts of gold with some careful farming and specialised character builds.</p>

<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">The final main section covers weapons, weighing up the pros and cons of two handed weapons – like the various Staffs – versus single handed items like Wands and Focus items. There are some good tips here to help customise your build, and beginner as well as experienced players will get a lot from this.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"><strong>The Unofficial  Guild Wars Elementalist Guide</strong> weighs in at 50 pages, available as a PDF ebook that can be instantly downloaded and viewed. The focus is purely on the Elementalist character class – there is some helpful information here that could apply to other classes, but this isn&#8217;t a generic Guild Wars guide for all players.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">If you want the amazing damage dealing power of an <strong>Elementalist</strong>, this guide is for you. Highly recommended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately I&#8217;ve been away and missed out on the <strong>Dragon Festival</strong> this year &#8211; but it seems the <strong>Guild Wars</strong> community managers have taken pity on me &#8211; because they&#8217;ve organised a <strong>Wintersday festival</strong> &#8211; in July!</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.eyeofthenorth.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/e93c27ab-e9dc-4db5-be90-accab54e97bf.jpg" alt="Guild Wars Wintersday in July" border="0" width="256" height="185" /></div>
<p>Things will be kicking off at 7pm GMT on Friday 17th July, and the fun will continue through until 7am GMT on Monday 20th July.</p>
<p>The <strong>Snowball Arena</strong> is being re-opened, and if you talk to a Wintersday Priest in Ascalon City, Droknar&#8217;s Forge, the Great Temple of Balthazar, Kamadan, or Lion&#8217;s Arch you&#8217;ll be transported to the arena.</p>
<p>Collect Candy Cane Shards to exchange for special Wintersday items, and stock up on your favourites to boost your <strong>Title Tracks</strong>:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Normally I don&#8217;t post about <strong>Guild Wars</strong> game updates, but today&#8217;s one fixes some long standing AI issues with heroes, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not the only one who&#8217;s been driven mad by some of these.</p>
<p>From the changes log:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Assassin</strong></p>
<p>Heroes are more likely to use offensive Shadow Step skills before their Health reaches 50%.<br />
Heroes will now use Black Lotus Strike against non-hexed foes when appropriate.</p>
<p><strong>Dervish</strong></p>
<p>Heroes are more likely to use Attacker’s Insight during combat.</p>
<p><strong>Elementalist</strong></p>
<p>Heroes are more likely to use attunement skills during combat.</p>
<p><strong>Mesmer</strong></p>
<p>Heroes will now more appropriately use hex spells that require an interrupt to take effect.<br />
Heroes will now maintain Mantra of Inscriptions both in and out of combat.</p>
<p><strong>Monk</strong></p>
<p>Heroes are more likely to scatter appropriately when affected by Ray of Judgment.<br />
Heroes will now use Life Sheath to remove conditions out of combat.<br />
Heroes will now use Boon Signet more frequently.<br />
Heroes are now more likely to use Spotless Mind and Spotless Soul in conjunction with other hex and condition removal skills.<br />
Heroes are now more likely to use Restore Condition if their target is suffering from multiple conditions.<br />
Heroes will now use Dwayna’s Kiss more frequently when hexes and enchantments are present on the target.<br />
Heroes will now use Words of Comfort more frequently on characters suffering from conditions.<br />
Fixed a bug where the AI only used Healing Burst as a self-targeting spell.<br />
Fixed a bug where the AI did not recognize Unyielding Aura as a hard resurrection skill.</p>
<p><strong>Necromancer</strong></p>
<p>Heroes can now cast Lingering Curse off-target.<br />
Heroes will now use Blood is Power and Blood Ritual on casters holding bundle items.<br />
Heroes will now maintain Aura of the Lich in and out of combat.</p>
<p><strong>Paragon</strong></p>
<p>Heroes will now check if Angelic Bond is active on all party members before using the skill.<br />
Heroes will only activate Angelic Bond if a party member is under 50% Health.<br />
Heroes are more likely to use “Incoming!” outside of combat.<br />
Heroes will only use Chest Thumper against foes that are suffering from Cracked Armor.<br />
Heroes will now use “Never Surrender!” both in and out of combat.</p>
<p><strong>Ritualist</strong></p>
<p>Heroes will now use Resilient Weapon, Spirit Light Weapon, and Weapon of Warding to overwrite non-defensive weapon spells when the target’s Health is at critical levels.<br />
Heroes will now use Offering of Spirit more frequently and will now use it out of combat.<br />
Heroes will now use Mending Grip as a self-targeting spell.<br />
Heroes will now only use Brutal Weapon on targets who are engaged in combat.<br />
Heroes will now cast Weapon of Quickening on spell-casting classes regardless of weapon type equipped.<br />
Fixed a bug where the AI would not use Renewing Memories while holding a bundle item.</p>
<p><strong>Warrior</strong></p>
<p>Heroes are more likely to use Defy Pain at 95% Health to make better use of its damage-reduction feature.<br />
Heroes will use “or Great Justice!” as is appropriate for their weapon type.<br />
Heroes are less likely to overwrite Rush with other stances.<br />
Heroes are less likely to overwrite Frenzy with other stances unless Health is low.</p>
<p><strong>General</strong></p>
<p>Fixed a bug where Heroes would not use zero-Energy skills when low on Energy.</p>
<p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>
<p>Fixed a bug that would cause GvG matches to end in a tie if a Guild Lord died when the tiebreaker triggered. All Guild Lords will now become non-combatants when the match ends after 28 minutes according to the server clock. Note that this time may differ slightly from your client’s timer.<br />
Fixed a bug that prevented Depravity and Ether Phantom from displaying Energy loss.<br />
Fixed a bug that caused Depravity to affect all nearby foes.<br />
Fixed a bug that caused the following Ritualist skills to use an incorrect casting animation: Agony, Anguish, Empowerment, Gaze of Fury, Recovery, and Rejuvenation.</p>
<p><strong>Miscellaneous</strong></p>
<p>Xunlai Tournament Agents now offer prizes for the May tournament. These agents can be found in the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion’s Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan.<br />
Reduced the amount of wins needed for the base objective and second bonus objective on the Random Arenas Zaishen quest.<br />
Increased the Zaishen Coin rewards for all Zaishen Mission quests and Zaishen Bounty quests.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Like all <em>Guild Wars</em> updates, this is a live change that will download when you start the client.<br />
