| QUOTE | I have noticed that according to this wiki page you start in the dungeon and then go to any of the (Charr, Asura, or Norn) and then you go and fight the great destroyer. But why are we going to explore and be with the Norns and then jump underground when the game goes live? It may be that you start in Far Shiverpeaks and then you go to the dungeons after you have done about 1/4 of the Far Shiverpeaks. What do you think? Natalie Black 20:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
You definately start off in the Far Shiverpeaks due to the Preview Event happening it the beginning of that region. --Jas0n 22:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Not neccessarily. During the Factions preview, Kaineng City was just a "base of operations", and Shing Jea didn't appear at all. From the Marketplace, you were transported directly to Pongmei Valley after accepting either the Luxon or Kurzick quest from Togo, then could explore the Jade Sea and the Echovald to your heart's content. The Nightfall preview event was different, as it was the actual tutorial area. But there's no guarantee this will actually be the beginning of the story, in fact it's been suggested that it won't (since Gaile mentioned that keeping the explorable areas you've accessed will cause you to miss quests and storyline). --Valentein 22:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
(edit confict) Act 1 takes place in the Depths, with Act 2 branching off into the Charr and Norn areas. I imagine the Far Shiverpeaks are showcased in the preview event to show off the Hall of Monuments... although the cartography progress from the weekend will be kept, you will not be able to map travel to the locations that you have unlocked until you reach them in the final game, for continuity purposes. So yes, the wiki page is correct in its current state. Sorry if that comment seemed a bit disorganised, I'm extremely tired :P --Santax (talk · contribs) 22:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Santax thanks for clearing this up. That makes sense if you can't map travel to the area after the preview event and so doing this is alot like the factions preview but you get to keep the heros you unlock. So we will have Norn heros before we even meet the Norn. :) Natalie Black 00:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't think so... has it been confirmed that areas you've unlocked will go away after the sneak peek? It'd be quite awkward (flavor-wise) to have Norn heroes before even knowing Norns exist... As for the storyline, it makes perfect sense to start in the depths, because earthquakes are said to expose entrances to these massives depths, and the depts will lead you to the far north. -- ab.er.rant sig 03:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
It would appear you keep the areas you explored, but can't map travek to them. My mistake. --Valentein 08:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Ya if you could travel too them then it would be kinda odd to go underground when you are already with the Norn. The preview event is not going to follow the timeline so what-ever char you bring to the event will have done some quests in the Shiverpeaks but still needs too go underground. Natalie Black 00:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
You know, it's not really that hard to just allow players into the small section of the depths between Tyria/Cantha/Elona and the Far Shiverpeaks. Going by the press event, it's just one area. Does it say anywhere that Anet aren't going to do that? Marin Alacet 16:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC) |
Erm Does the preview weekend reset for quests and missions?
Not sure if this has been confirmed

This answers most of that as you keep everything heroes, items, skills, XP. Here is the link Click here
Adding another link that says even progress you get to keep. Just after the preview weekend you can't use the heroes and go to those places till the expansion is released. Here is the other link and careful for spoilers here Click Here

There is a game progress restart, they wouldn't really allow someone to skip 1/3 of act 2 now would they? Also early access to the shivs would make a bit of the game skipped. It makes sense.

Not really cause the story of the expansions is in order. they aren't skipping you ahead of any of the story line. Thats part of why you can't finish the main quest you can only do the part of the norns. They didn't do this sneak preview like they did for the other campaigns. Think about it they said you would keep the skills you unlocked as well as the HoM stuff would stay. If they reset then it wouldn't make since you already having been to HoM and have those tapestries up.

Good point, not about you having already been to the HoM....but the primary quests give you the tapestries to activate a section of your choice in the HoM......so if they reset the quests, you would technically get 2 more tapestries, allowing you to unlock the entire HoM before someone who didnt do the preview event.

I've seen people selling those monument pieces for 15k in the Eye of the North. so its possible that people could already have all 5 parts by the end of the preview.

EASILY
I've got three chars through the trial now resulting in 2 tapestries, its just too simple getting them, aslong as you've got the chars, stick to primaries, and skip all movies ;)

Act ONE is helping the dwarves and asura in dungeons. Act TWO is going to the norn, the tarnished coast and the charr homelands, which is what we've been doing in the preview. We will have skipped at least 1/3 of the storyline in EotN. It's not in order in the preview, so it's most likely there will be a progress reset, just that.

I'll post what they said at the bottom of the page so maybe everyone will see progress stays after the weekend just not available till Aug 31 when the game goes live.
" Early access ends on August 26, 2007 at 11:59 PM Pacific time. All progress, items, skills, and Heroes you have unlocked and obtained during the Sneak Peek Weekend will be accessible again when the game goes live on August 31."
Besides in the story it says you have to choose what of the three things to do first the event only has one part of the area open so they made the choice for you.
Please don't just take my word as in my first post I posted the link to their site where at the bottom of the page what I quoted from them is there.

What about explorer? Is there gonna be explorer title for GW:EN? Are they goin to "Mist Up" the places you've already explored? If so, then that would be a big pain, because I have explored practically everywhere in the event, or would they just place a message over the town saying "Unavailable" (Still showing the town but is in-accesable until you have entered your GW:EN code. Thats all I wanna know.
