Hm, checked on two different puters, shows ok for me. Anyone else having same problems?

And about which pictures are you talking? All? Those in table (those are thumbs, click on them to expand, see if that helps)?

If the rest have problems as well, guess something must be done about it. Unfortunatly I have only some basic graphic tools, so just filtering them would make them all washed up. We can always take new ones, but atm I'm a bit saturated with 17.5., so I can't promise quick fix.

They look fine for me as well. Maybe could add a little bit more contrast, but otherwise they look ok.

A different time of day for the pictures would fix the problem I'd say. They where taken during rain... At normal daylight the how thing is a lot brighter.

Dark flames? You're talking about pictures of altars here? If so, they are just thumbnails, click on them to expand and then you can "save picture as"...

Hopefully I'll manage to do some work on guide itself over weekend, just please don't hold me on this.

Okay... I'm talking about the pictures imbedded in the Dust Brigade guide...

for example, the very first picture all I see is a black background square.. with a yellow box and arrow and some light blue circle in the background....

even if I right click the picture to use "view this picture" all I get is blackness.......

Erm. I see three caves in a mountainside/rocky desert type area with some rain. The blue circle points to the entrance of the Dust Brigade encounter.

Unfortunatly color effects of altars got all washed up...

Hello there, fellow posters. I'm new to the boards and wanted to provide some feedback. (I think I had an account earlier but lost the ID and password so created a new one)

I've read the two guides about the Dustbrigade instance and quests and noticed a distinct lack of "the" or "a" all over it. It's not a big thing, but imho a guide should be written in complete sentences. At the moment it reads more like a detailed chatlog, to be honest.

Thank you for the attention and the great guides anyway. ;)

Thanks for your input. We are continually working on all the guides, not just for their accuracy on the steps for the "how to" part, but also for their English. I will add it to our to do list! :)
