These customized toolbars provide us, as designers, the uniqueopportunity to create new and interesting types of scenarios because wehave the ability to give every player the right tools for the task athand. Our monster guru has even been building special enemies forplayers to fight under unique circumstances, so players will need tomake effective use of each skill available to them.

Of course, some hardcore Guild Wars Gold players, upon viewing thecustom Skill Bar for a particular character, may say, "Wow! Anet istotal noobz! They put "Otyugh's Cry" on my skill bar. GG lamers!!1!"Hold on! We custom-tailored BMP encounters so that each skill will beuseful against enemies. Then, when you're done with the mission, youcan brag to all your friends, co-workers, neighbors, family, and randompeople on the street how you "pwnd some monsters with Otyugh's Cry." Imean, people talk like that, right?

In all seriousness, in addition to tweaking encounters to work wellwith the provided skills, we've also created some new specialty skills.Ever wanted Spectral Agony on your Skill Bar? How about the ability tofeign death as an enemy walks past? If you've been yearning for new PvEexperiences, we think you'll enjoy the many surprises we have in store.

3. What locations are in the BMP? Existing maps? New ones?

Missions take place at locations within existing Guild Warsworld maps, however the events all take place in the past. For example,the Battle of Jahai (Turai Ossa's story) occurred along the river Elonwhere the Fortress of Jahai now stands. In Turai's time, however, thatstructure did not exist. In the BMP, you'll get to see the area as itwas long before direct passage between Kourna and Vabbi was blocked bythat massive fortress.

So, while these missions take place in existing maps, the artwork isdefinitely not recycled. Now, I've always considered art to be thesingle most identifiable factor of Guild Wars. We're blessed towork with some of the most talented artists in the industry on a dailybasis. And, when they created the Bonus Mission Pack environments, theydid not disappoint—truly, these are some of the most gorgeous areas ofthe series.

In Togo's story, you visit the war minister's estate high in themountains along the southwest shore of Cantha, where the Tengu peaceaccords take place. The gorgeous Canthan architecture combined with thesnow falling in this wintry mountain locale creates a pristine settingunlike anything else in Guild Wars Gold to date.
