When skills you cast become random skills instead.

Mo/Me: I'm casting Windborne Speed on B!
Mo/Me: I could've sworn I pressed Protective Spirit...

A plague similar to the WoW one

Worst update would be:

Change TA so that you have to enter in a party of 2 and get another random party of 2

Change HA so that it's 20v20 and every map is the relic map

Change GvG so that it has base defenders and take away VoD

Introduce AB. Oh! that's already done!!

* Added a new NPC, the farmer! This guy appears at the beggining of any instance (even PvP ones!) and kills anything that could potentially be farmed.

* Added a new all class signet that destroys all equipped gear on your target, this signet was added to increase the fear factor when doing anything with valuable gear (or anything that required gear (many monsters have been given this signet as well (all of them in fact))).

* Added new Guild Hall, the Gankhall! This guild hall is a wacky idea we came up with where teams start out in their opponent's guild hall, may the fastest gank win!

* All names must now be a minimum of 8 words. Names not following this rule already have been deleted, along with their respective character.

* Added new NPC, the Bank Theif (in all PvE and PvP zones)! This realistic NPC will attack your character's storage vault, stealing items and gold. If nothing is in there, then he will steal from your character (even if you are wearing it), if you do not have anything either, then he will begin to seize property you own in real life, or deduct money from your bank account. We beleive this adds a degree of realism to the crime that exists in both Tyria and Cantha.

* Added a spoiler crier to all outposts and towns. This silly NPC will tell anyone who hasn't played through the story before exactly what will happen, ruining our intricately crafted storyline.

* Added rewards for players who leave their parties for no reason, crippling their progress through our game.

* All materials for armor must now be mined. Mining will be a long and intentionally tedious process.

* Level cap has been increased to an infinite number. Attribute points gained and experience needed to be leveled have been scaled upward signifigantly, so if you don't play more than your neighbor Scott, you will fall behind and be inferior to him, just like your lawn is to his.

* Replaced the official Guild Wars Soundtrack with an album from Hootie and the Blowfish. Remixes by JR.

* Text is now completely black in all channels. The background to the chat window is now completely black.

* You can no longer enter elite missions or the favor zones (UW and FoW) unless you have maxed out your skill hunter title.

* Skill hunter title has been fixed so it can never be maxed out.

* Fixed a bug that was preventing some players from getting Err=7 right before the end of a mission.

* Added new NPC! This one is called the "Attribute Phantom", he can appear at random in any instance, even towns and outposts! Whenever he successfully makes a melee attack against anyone, that player will permenantly lose 10 attribute points. This NPC also knows Flurry. We feel this will help balance our new level cap and attribute point gains.

* Reset the gold and item supply in storage vaults. This will happen periodically in the game, although very infrequently. We feel this should effectively simulate the results of a Great Depression or Market Crash. Players will be compensated with a Candy Cane each time this happens however, because they are a rare and unique treasure everyone loves.

* All Charr now drop Candy Canes on a very frequent and non-unique basis.

* Candy Canes now give DP instead of removing it.

Ok I'm done with this list.

EDIT: For now that is

AOE DAMAGE NERF

PROT BOND NERF

*Replaced the Loading screen for every map with a picture of JR's mom.

...would totally ruin the immersion! Like WoW has proven, we need cartoony graphics!

Luckily, I have access to screenshots of the next version of GW, and I can tell you that it's thankfully almost as cartoony as WoW:
http://www.rpgwh.net/content/images/...20Wars%201.jpg
http://www.rpgwh.net/content/images/...20Wars%203.jpg
http://www.rpgwh.net/content/images/...20Wars%204.jpg

Peace out, whiners.

WOW (not World of Warcraft btw

)... i hope the 4-5-6 scrrenshots are fake, i mean, they are HORRIBLE!!! I saw 3 year old MMORPGs whith better graphics then those O_o

Anyway, GW is FLAWLESS the way it is now, and at least for some more years upgrades on the graphics are NOT NECESSARY AT ALL!!! Female chars look GORGEUS, male chars look AWESOME, warrior armors are AMAZING, the scenary is ESPETACULAR and the list keeps goin, if GW have some flaws they are NOT the graphics!!! Still, if it had to change for the screens 1-2-3 i would be happy, i mean, they are awesome ^^

ooo yes, and btw, i DO think that screens 4-5-6 are fake (they dont look real gameplay, mainly the interface that looks like an Illustrator drawing) AND the 1-2-3 are cut-outs from the GW wallpappers ^^

Later.

Oh no, they're not fake <seriously, they're not - they're real screenshots from Guildwars>.

I may have got the context of the screenshots wrong, though.

They're not fake. That was GW before the E3 4 Everyone in 2004.

- For your holiday enjoyment *and our special promotion haha* We have added a nuclear weapon in both the House zu helter and Cavalon, the only way to stop these missles from blowing up all of guild wars you must buy "failure to launch" on dvd, you can do so in the in game store.

Yichi · Aug 17, 2006, 01:35 PM // 13:35

The worst update.... will probably be when they introduce the most broken class ever to be thought up back into guildwars and ruins the only form of legit pvp left in this game. go go dervishes /sigh

Silent Kitty · Aug 17, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

Make all healing spells heal 50% less and cost more, because it makes warriors to strong

Inspired by Jormund

*Loading screen now is changed to Warrior Monk who is using mending.
*Mending was too powerfull, making the warriors invulnarable and invincible, thus we are nerfing it as follows. You need 12 healing to get 0.5 life regeneration. If you are moving Mending ends. When mending ends, you lose all your energy. If you have no energy - you die. When you die you deal 5000 damage to teammates in radar range.
*All premade builds will have mending in it.
*All normal builds now got their 1rst slot with Mending locked to it.
*All secondary classes are changed to monks.
*All monks primary have their second class removed.
*All other monk spells require you to have mending to be able to cast the spells.
*Mending is autocasted automaticly when the battle starts.
*Added shortcut to left mouse button to cancel mending. This shortcut cannot be removed by ANY means. Users that use 3rd party programs will be banned from this game and all other NCsoft games as well.
*All henchmen will be changed to Mendlesia new npc which will cast mending on all party members.
*Monster AI is improved so they all will now bring rend enchantments to counter the imba mending skill.
*Introduced new game type - Mending match. At the start of each battle all members cast mending. Whoever loses hims mending first loses the match.
*Ress signet is reworked - it will be a copy of mending.
*There will be new neverseen before class in no game ever created in this universe - the PALADIN. He is master of the blade who fights for justice and heals his allys and himself. He will posses the extraudinary abilities of mending. Shielding hands is reworked so it will act like mending.
*Firestorm spell is imba, so it is rework to act as mending.

ThunderStruck · Aug 17, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

*Removed the classes: Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer, Ritualist, Assassin, Ranger, and Monk.
