Nerfing these skills for PvE is pretty useless, seeing as they weren't even used. Not as useless as the scamming report function, though. Player A scams player B, player B reports player A, but the report fails because player A has already left the district. I guess it's not that useless, really idiotic scammers will get busted.

lol is that it? what an update

Apok Omen · Nov 07, 2008, 02:53 AM // 02:53

I swear to god, if anyone cries about the Experts Dex nerf, I will kill them.

Puddin Cheeks · Nov 07, 2008, 02:53 AM // 02:53

Are you kidding me, they still haven't fixed RaO or other noob skillz, i quit.

Nessar · Nov 07, 2008, 02:55 AM // 02:55

Waited all day for this? And reporting for scamming, thats a chuckle

IronSheik · Nov 07, 2008, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Yet you still can't report for PvE Leeching, Sigh

FlamingMetroid · Nov 07, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

If this update had a 1:30 hour delay, then I don't have high expectations that next week's update will be on Thursday :|

IamI · Nov 07, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

If I recall, you were able to do /report (player name here). Not sure if that function works anymore, but if it does, it sort of fixes the problem about scamming. The report system is still quite flawed though.

Sankt Hallvard · Nov 07, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Lindsey was right, this was a monster update. Totally on par with the sorrow's furnace update I'm sure, if not bigger.

I totally forgive the delays to this and the next update, especially in view of the raw size of the update. Careful skill balancing is an art, I can only imagine the hardships Lindsey's gone through for this one. GG! Really.

I'm so happy I delayed my nap-time by a few hours, this update was well worth a little wait. Can't wait to test out all the changes tomorrow, my mind is already toying with all sorts of ideas for new builds. Once again, awesome!

Puddin Cheeks · Nov 07, 2008, 02:59 AM // 02:59

Officially at this point in time beyond all other reasons GW has now finally become epic failed-up beyond all recognition.

E-FUBAR.

I'm glad I got all those Cloths of the Brotherhood I needed last weekend after seeing this.

A11Eur0 · Nov 07, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Stealth update...new Essence of Celerity only increases skill recharge/activation time 20%.

or so I hear.

Hope that's a bug.

EDIT: tested....25% in item description, 20% in practice. GG anet, super fail....gtfo.

WHERE ARE THE BUFFS !

izzy start using your brain and not just adjusting skills people on your private forum tell you to adjust .. meta shifting is the one and only thing pvp players look forward to , and simply reverting skills to there original unuseable form and not offering anything 'new' , you should be focusing on bringing some of the 90% of skills not used in pvp into play. Im not going to bother playing this mAT in yet another boring , stale and utterly crap metagame , heys guys heres a skill update welcome to 2 month ago ...

I know you've been contemplating buffing midline shutdown roles (bsurge in particular) to try overshadow and outdo the common fc water shutdown ... well where the hell are these changes ?

Aerial Assault · Nov 07, 2008, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Hoping that there are upcoming skill updates still, cause that was pitiful quite frankly.

Scamming option for report? Well just hope that anet support is prepared to filter thoroughly through the frivolous QQ reports, because otherwise they'll be getting emails of unsubstantiated bans.

Gems · Nov 07, 2008, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Yeah this update really sucked... Don't see what the delay was for? As for the scamming thing, Like someone else said what do they consider to be a scam?? :S

I'm also confused about reward points, people seem to think that update was suppose to be today. They'eve released the Tonic, but no points, I don't ever remember them doing that before.

I think A-net have really given up on GW1, but if they carry on messing this game up so much I for one won't be even bothering with GW2.

goldenwolf · Nov 07, 2008, 03:12 AM // 03:12

celerity still says 25% but has been brought down to 20%.
uw sc nerfed
