Update - Friday October 12
Eye of the North Hard Mode

Hard Mode has been introduced for Guild Wars: Eye of the North. Players who have completed the expansion can now try playing it again in Hard Mode for an additional challenge.

Accessing Hard Mode in Eye of the North
To gain access to Hard Mode in Eye of the North, you must first defeat the final primary quest in Normal Mode.
Once you defeat the Eye of the North quest "A Time for Heroes" with any character on your account, every level 20 character on that same account will have access to Hard Mode in Eye of the North.

Hard Mode Rewards in Eye of the North
Reputation point bonuses for completing primary quests and dungeons are 50% higher than in Normal Mode.
Reputation points received from bounties are approximately 50% higher than in Normal Mode.
Random loot found within final dungeon chests is doubled from what is given in Normal Mode.

Hero's Handbook and Master Dungeon Guide
Pages acquired for missions completed without a Hero's Handbook in your inventory can now be added to a Hero's Handbook. The cost is 100 gold per missing page. Similarly, pages for dungeons completed without a Master Dungeon Guide in your inventory can be added for 100 gold per missing page.
The following Eye of the North title NPCs can now update books with missing pages:
Gedral of Ascalon [Vanguard Herald] inside the Eye of the North
Kodan [Dwarven Recruitment Officer] in Gunnar's Hold
Tyr the Skaald [Norn Storyteller] in Gunnar's Hold
Lexx [Asuran Talent Scout] in Rata Sum
These NPCs now give rewards for any Hero's Handbook or Master Dungeon Guide that has at least half of its pages. The rewards given for turning in one of these books are as follows:

Hall of Monuments
Miniatures no longer need to be customized when displayed in a player's Hall of Monuments.
Miniatures displayed in the Monument to Devotion are now marked as "dedicated" rather than "customized".
Players can use the Monument to Devotion to switch existing miniatures from being "customized" to being "dedicated".
Miniatures that have been dedicated in a Hall of Monuments cannot be dedicated again, but they can be used by any character.
To prevent trade scams, the Trade panel will warn you if someone tries to trade you a miniature that has already been dedicated.

Report Command

After reviewing the usage of the report command during last weekend's test, we have decided to enable the command officially. The text describing the spamming and verbal abuse report commands have been updated to more clearly explain how they work. Players are never banned merely because of the volume of reports issued against them. Reports alert the GM team to review the actual chat logs of the reported player. The GM team then uses the same disciplinary policies that have always been applied to emailed reports of spamming and verbal abuse.
To use the report command, type "/report".
Targeting a player and typing /report or /report followed by a player's name opens a new Report Dialog panel. From this panel, you can report a chosen player for leeching, botting, spamming, using abusive language, or having an inappropriate character name. Reports will then be relayed to and reviewed by the Guild Wars Support team.
You can report a player for leeching if you are in the same Random Arena, Alliance Battle, or Competitive Mission as that player. If at least half your team reports the same player for leeching, that player will be stripped of XP and faction rewards for the battle. Note that you can only report members of your own party or team for leeching.
Reports of botting, spamming, abusive language, and inappropriate character names will be relayed to and reviewed by the Guild Wars Support team. Note that reporting a single player multiple times for the same offense will not expedite or influence support team attention.
A single account cannot use the /report command more than 50 times in a 24-hour period.
We will continue to monitor this feature and make further adjustments as necessary.

Underworld and Fissure of Woe Updates
When entering into these regions, players will now receive a Mission Objective list in their Quest Log. This list informs players how many quests they must complete to finish the regions for the purposes of full completion and credit for the Hall of Monuments.
Quests yet to be obtained are marked as "?????" in the Mission Objective list until they are discovered by at least one party member.
Chests now spawn upon completion of all quests in either of these regions.

Bonus Mission Pack

The Bonus Mission Pack has been enabled for those players who made qualifying purchases in the online store during the Bonus Mission Pack promotion.
To access the Bonus Mission Pack missions, speak to Durmand [Historian] in any of the major port cities: Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, or Kamadan.
For each mission, you will receive a book that tells the story leading up to the mission, along with any weapons your character will use during that mission.
To launch the mission, equip any provided weapons and click the "enter mission" button found inside the story book.
The Bonus Mission Pack missions are all single player adventures where you play as the characters from each story book. You will become that character for the duration of the mission and your normal skill bar will be replaced with that character's set of skills.
Upon completing a Bonus Mission Pack mission, you will be returned to the port city you were in previously or to your character's home port city. Your story book will have three new pages added at this point, summarizing the events that occurred during the mission as well as the effect those events had on the Guild Wars world.
You can take completed books back to Durmand to have the stories authorized. You can then trade in authorized stories to one of the four story scribes (located next to Durmand in each port city) for a customized weapon from the historic period you witnessed during the mission. However, you will no longer be able to keep the book in your Xunlai storage once it has been authorized.
Completing each mission also unlocks "Discovery Mode" for that mission, which allows you to replay the mission to achieve mission specific bonus goals. Each mission has three additional bonus goals that, once completed, will earn you additional authorized stories for that mission. The additional stories can only be earned once for each account.

Added effects for the skill Spectral Agony when used by Mursaat.
Updated an old version of the Diessa Icon to use the most current statistics for that item. The earlier version contained a +10% enchantment-lengthening bonus that is not supposed to exist on focus items.
