Seems to be the same as the warrior aura (before eles had the same as monk) and necros still have the pee-bowhead..

(Only posting that info here because it's worth telling.)

Shadow Blades have started dropping in fow, and quite frequently at that.

Is anyone getting really weird and distorted sound since the update?

The 3D audio positioning is really messed up now (more so than before).

Anyway, the total download is 479MB. Yes, really.

The reason these maps are being streamed now is presumably because they'll be used in the upcoming preview event.

The way to avoid downloading those 479 megs is presumably to not let your computer idle at the log-in screen - log in & start playing instead.

Oh crap I thought you were kidding about the 479 Mb update. Downloaded 1Mb and its still at 0% completed. Its gonna take me 32 hours to download that much.

*cries*

EDIT : I quit then restarted and it only downloaded 5Mb on the first screen and I seem to be getting streaming updates as I move through the game, ie updates on every zone into a town, and inside towns. An intelligent update system that decided it couldn't be done all at once so it's doing it in the background?

Caldec · Mar 10, 2006, 11:35 AM // 11:35

well im downloading at 350 kb/sec i started 3 seconds ago and im half way done i love cable internet.

There is a complete list of all the new PvP armors availeble for the 6 Core professions. All new armors, including a whole bunch of new stats and attributes.
The only lame thing is, necro's get 2, while the rest get 3 armors each.

No you're not.

That's just the update, the maps come when you idle at the log-in screen.
Also, even though I downloaded the full 479MB, I got to download about 1000 files upon entering Thunderhead Keep. I've no clue what that was about, because nothing seems to have changed there.

Seut: different classes have different divine aura? I never knew. I've only seen the 'roman candle' particle effect type.

WTF they are doing?

Why do you want free skills if you did not buy Prophesies, if you want the skills then buy Ch1, simple as that.

This info has been stated since they first announced Factions.

People just love to complain pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffftttttt

Exactly, that was the first thing I noticed during a fight. I think it's because before the patch, the center of audio was at the camera position, now it looks like it's always in your character. Best tested by running around the fire in Deldrimor war camp.

X of Thulcandra · Mar 10, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Yes, the "warp" updates are huge. Reminds me of when the first GW:F preview event kicked off, it took a long time for each map to load.

boxterduke · Mar 10, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

Yeah, after you update and go in with a character you get to dowload a bunch of files but thats it, its only the one time and no to each map or area like when PvP Favtion preview weekend.

Anyway I downloaded all before coming to work and did not have to check any of the updates yet.

I cannot wait to get home.

Big_Iron · Mar 10, 2006, 03:11 PM // 15:11

I opened up the log on screen this morning before I left home and saw the updates for Factions downloading. I'm sure it'll be done by the time I get home this afternoon.

wolver1ne · Mar 10, 2006, 03:14 PM // 15:14

Should be done soon, started like 10 mins ago and already at 120MB.

GO GO BLOODSTAINED BOOTS!!!!!!!!

My new Pre-order staff wasnt working last night, it doesn't reconize the +15 energy mod when you equip it on a character. I hope thats been fixed.

MasterThrawn · Mar 10, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

Man this is gonna be nice. Have to go buy those bloodstained boots now... Can't wait to see those skills for Factions.

Having no access to Chapter 1 areas should be enough. What Faction only owners do with 4 character slots if they can't have all skills for other than Assassin and Ritualist professions? It will also limit their secondary professions.

Now I start to see the pattern what Anet is doing. Buying chapters is optional but it will have an affect to bought chapters too by limiting available skills. If this will happen in PvP too, it will give unfair advantage to Chapter 1+2 owners. Buy all or be limited.

Dude, I was just joking around the other day about a Warrior shout "None Shall Pass", and sure enough it's coming! Awesome
