The most detail I saw was along the lines of "commendation, commendation, something different, commendation, something different" for the 5 Varric chests. I am on these threads way too much lol, but it is possible I missed something more specific. And, I would've ignored any mention of Hakkon weapons, as scrubs of my gloriousness will never see such things. (Getting ready to duck) So we basically got an extra chest for 5 challenges - buggy challenges, but still - and folks are grousing because they don't like what they got...from the extra chest for doing the same thing as usual...free, extra chest.
Surely I'm missing something here, but I don't get the griping. People want different challenges - there are only so many permutations, so have some extra story and 5 extra chests...guess that equates to extra angst. (Reason # 987,966 why I love the BSN)
