The double click thing should have been done a long while back. That is one of those things like the hencmen getting stuck in the world geometry that i would have expected to have been crushed in beta.

geez people - get a grasp on reality here....

Fantasy setting in a game world...Hmmm...pressing the boundaries of reason are we?

I thought the phantasy star series was borderline on that particular crossover.

Auction systems take ALOT of work to create. Don't expect such a system until next year if you ask me. I would hope i am wrong though.

I expect everyone at Anet is currently busy with final testing on the sorrows furnace/grenths footprint. Testing protective bond build and nerfing it accordingly etc.
"Yes, lots more mesmers here J. Doe...at least 12"

OK, offtopic sarcasm but i couldn't resist.

Can't wait for it really. Should be a good laugh trying to rebuild burnt bridges with Stefan "the king of pullers".

For those with problems appearing online, did you press n and make sure that your status is set to "online" instead of any other status?

Also, again, please remember that ANet was never obligated to roll out significant updates every Wednesday. The fact that they have done so regularly may have made it seem like a promise to the customers, but that's merely a false assumption.

Which is why they did not announce the changes, because it is not a specific major update. Good post

Sir Skullcrasher · Aug 04, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

this patch seem to fix nothing in particular other than people getting random "error 7" message (which i got one yesterday).

Can't wait till the next patch to come out!

Thanks, Aria, for saying something that I sort of wanted to say, but didn't really want to be the first to point out.

Let me engage in a silly analogy: If you go to a friend's house and he serves you a steak dinner, is it fair to expect that with every subsequent visit? Of course not! We did some major updating on a near-weekly basis, and now suddenly it's, "Where's my #(*%Y^& update!"

We will be making major updates steadily, but please understand we won't be doing it weekly. It's better, we feel, to focus on making significant changes in a broader sweep than to do them bit by bit.

Today's update was a minor one, designed to change a few small but significant bugs. We're hard at work on the Summer Update, hard at work on looking at significant updates to PvP (based on your feedback, of course), and of course we're working on Chapter 2, as well. We're keeping all of those objectives in mind, and you can look for free new content soon, a great new chapter next year, and attention to your feedback on a daily basis.

Well that's all good and fine Gaile, but the problem is if you not going to patch the game, could you at least post on the main site what the lastest update on any new patches is? The devs of Planetside use to at least everyone monday tell us what they were working on, which carmed the storm so to speak. Maybe a good idea to follow.

In the meantime please just implement toggleablle guild capes and pet commands and the all will be good in the world.

What about the problems with people offline? PMs not working? When we going to have a hot fix for it all?

Well, he's my friend isn't he? sure he'll serve me a steak or something good next times! He won't let me bite on crackers, would he?

sorry, couldn't resist making a silly post about this.

transparency is tech, i've stated this before. ETA's (altough offcourse not always made in reality) help calm the storm. After all, most players know now that the expansion will be first half of 2006. that should keep that question away till start of 2006.

We post on the Game Updates page for every single patch we do, and are happy to do so. I really hate to think of the news page being diluted by a news post about a one-line change in the Update Notes. If there's a new build, check the Update Notes. It's really that simple, and a whole lot tidier, I think, than making news out of housekeeping.

On the other hand, when we have a significant change, we will definitely news post it. I think there's a pretty clear line between newsworthiness and non-newsworthiness, so that's where we are making the distinction.

I do thank you for the suggestion, though, and hope you'll understand my reasoning on the matter.

No I see your point a bit more clearly now

(I can see the light! hehe) I just like to know what features your working on, sometimes... Togglecapes *wink* *wink*

Still this lastest patch was, while small a bug fix, and that's always a good thing. Lag also seems to be at an all time low at the moment. Better to get rid of them bugs sooner then later.

Keep up the good work.

No we have just been sat around for two months with nothing to do in PVE play (Completed everything missions Bonus read previous posts before flaming).

Even a little added quest to keep us busy would have been nice.

I think we were spoiled with the first few updates from release. New quests added major updates. every week, Then every Two weeks. Two weeks is a long time to wait when youve completed all the PVE side of the game and have nothing to do but Farm for Rare drops.

looking forward to a possible PVE update and after 4 weeks still nothing can lead to a little dissapointed groan late at night.

Still no actuall confirmed date of when the new summer release is due. Gaile Summers are long and hot and even longer when we dont know when to expect it.

Come on out and give us a confirmed date or dont you have one.

=HT=Ingram · Aug 04, 2005, 08:37 AM // 08:37

most of the suggestions We have been making. Auction house, Guild enhancements, Blacksmith options, ect... most likely will not happen till Chapter two. they may. but I doubt it. And that's fine by me. I didn't buy the game for what may be there in the future. I bought it for what it was. if that's not good enough for you, then I guess this isn't the game for you. bubye now. bubye..

Oh your still here? what did you miss? the Bu? or the Bye?

BUBYE...

Nope. It doesn't. When I logged off and back on, I still was listed as offline. My friends list still has some crap about being unable to retreive info. And, BTW, I'm still ticked off about it.

Well thank you and Aria both for treating me like an idiot. No, my status is online, when I can even get to it. Half the time, it tells me that my friends list info is not available. I have a friend who regularly has trouble showing up on the guild roster page, even though he still has his tag and cape and is listed on MY guild roster. His on the other hand........tells him that he's not in any guild. WTF?? I have enough sense to make sure my status is not on away/busy/offline. IT'S BROKEN!

I think the thing that Aria said that Galie wanted to say was that you shouldn't expect an update every week, not that you need to press "n" and check it....

dansamy · Aug 04, 2005, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Diomedes, it's still broken. And ARIA at the very least did insult all of our intelligences' by even suggesting that we weren't smart enough to double check our status. It doesn't happen after every update and it doesn't fix itself when I log off and log back on and it's not that my status is set incorrectly. Now, sometimes I show up, sometimes I don't. At least that's better than appearing offline the whole time I'm on. I'm sure it will get resolved, but it's irritating to me in the meantime. You know the same way a little pebble in your shoe will bug you til you get it out? It's just bugging me and I'm just venting about it!

Drakron · Aug 04, 2005, 04:01 PM // 16:01

It seens every update now is to break something ... the economy is trashed and the game drops were nerfed to hell.

None of those issues were corrected.

Also I seen several updates screwing up something, I understand that Dansamy sees a bug that may or may not be caused by the update (since I had a similar experiance were I lost my cape and my guild page shown that I was not in a guild and that was before the update).

dansamy · Aug 04, 2005, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Drakron, I had to reinvite a member and his friend due to that very same thing! (The friend quit because we "kicked his friend".)
