Is there anything else about the update that can be revealed now, other then the expanded storage stuff?

Excellent! I don't need to consider the implications that would have had on my ability to try and not suck at tombs.

The next skill balance would better be @&*&*# good then -_-

That means nerfing bloodspike, foul feast, lingering, smite crap, and melshot a LOT.

Woopdiedoo for more storage playing in a boring meta.

It's about priorities and limited recources yes and this month the big update is in the spotlight so yes it seems wise to focus on that.

Maybe now is a good time

Some of us have jobs and all and it would be nice to know when to take a day off or two.

Clock is ticking, we're almost mid April

Snow Bunny · Apr 09, 2009, 12:44 AM // 00:44

So a very large update including many seriously unnecessary things.

Well this could be a blessing in disguise because now we don't have to listen to the pvp peoples whine about why their build got nerfed this month. More content updates and less skill balance = win in my book!

Jensy · Apr 09, 2009, 12:52 AM // 00:52

Interesting. While I don't mind anything else that could come in the update, it rather feels like the pvp part of the game got a "NOT NOW, MOMMY IS BUSY!" and told to go out in the backyard and play. Heh.

gremlin · Apr 09, 2009, 12:55 AM // 00:55

Didn't really expect any other changes in the same month as the big changes to storage.

Those that were going to be happy when they saw the changes "both of them" can be happy next month.

Those that were going to be Unhappy ditto.

The vast majority who just adapt and carry on playing probably wouldn't notice the missing changes.

LifesRestorer · Apr 09, 2009, 12:57 AM // 00:57

good to know the community is being left with one of the worst metagames in the history of guild wars for yet another month.

FengShuiDove · Apr 09, 2009, 12:57 AM // 00:57

One last thing before I leave this thread alone.

Dear Regina,

I realize that the update is a mere few hundred hours away and that patience is indeed a virtue. I also realize you may not be able to speak of the specific content of this coming update and that's fine. However, I just have one question, intentionally left vague and open so that specific details won't have to be revealed. The question:

Are we getting a buff to Ritualists and/or Spawning Power anytime ever of any variety? I want to play my Ritualist so badly but he's so neglected in high-end groups =(.

Thank you.

Good job keeping GvG broken and unbalanced for an even more extended amount of time, resulting in further unenjoyable gameplay from your already horribly balanced game. Also good job on creating yet another monthly tournament that is going to be amazingly boring, unbalanced, and not fun to watch or play at all. /roll for gold with whoever brings the most overpowered BS to the table.

Fix your game, my god.

PvE updates are incredibly important.

Wish Swiftdeath · Apr 09, 2009, 12:59 AM // 00:59

... this better be worth it lol

Robbeh The Mad · Apr 09, 2009, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Skill balance is meh to me for the update, don't think it will change much of anything honestly...I'm still waiting on what I've always wanted since I've heard about the grand up of April and that is STORAGE so I can finally free my enslaved mules and get elite armor for my lil heart throb necro all the GW emo girls like.

If Sylvari Tonic...woohoo, WTS Zkeys 6k each to all 40 year old virgins and 14 years old wannabes.

Chocobo1 · Apr 09, 2009, 01:15 AM // 01:15

Sigh, I wouldn't mind if you delayed the skill update but to miss it completely is really lame. I really hope this big April update is truly amazing, almost like the Sorrows Furnace update.

^I lol'd.

I'm actually glad that they're devoting all their resources to the big update later this month. Even though I still don't have my hopes too high, I'd rather ANet focus their attention on the big quarterly update rather than the once-a-month skill balances and give us something polished.

Also... Whoo! Golden Eggs and Choco Bunnies! xD

Then Anet might as well as nerf anything that's good. Can't you just live with the meta? Must you hate everything that is good? People like you are sad.(or you just can't play; one way or the other)

Back to the OP....well the May update(assuming Anet uses this month wisely that is) better be good, 1 month for a skill update, better be good lol.

dasmitchies · Apr 09, 2009, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Regina,

Thank you very much for the information despite potential e-grief. You and your team deserve a lot of credit for telling the community through some means what is going on. Letting us know when something isn't going to occur means as much as letting us know what is happening. I fully understand that you face a limited overall budget when dealing with these updates. I know for certain I speak for more than myself, we want to here the news whatever it is. Thank You.

*looks at ritualist skills*

There's a huge difference between good skills and overpowered skills, just saying.
