I immediately set about to see if the same problems that plagued part one continued. I\u2019m happy to say that Part Two is a much better experience. The grind of \u201cgo here, kill stuff\u201d is an ever-present Guild Wars staple but it is softened somewhat in the 12 quests released on the 29th. The first quest (or quest 18 here) means for you to run away from your problems instead of fighting it out, the second quest has you rush to the aid of NPCs, while the third quest has an interesting game mechanic that frustrated some, but provided a nice surprise for all.\"<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.talktyria.net\/2011\/10\/03\/guild-wars-pink-day-la-2011\/\" target=\"_blank\">Talk Tyria: It Comes From the Heart<\/a>. &#8220;You may or may not have heard about Pink Day in LA, Mailbu Barbie, or the awesome team over at Gamers Giving Back, but let me tell you; these are people worth knowing and here\u2019s why.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/massively.joystiq.com\/2011\/10\/03\/flameseeker-chronicles-round-two-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flameseeker Chronicles: Round two &#8211; Fight!<\/a> &#8220;Winds of Change part two has arrived to Guild Wars, and there was definitely much rejoicing.
