Right, but if they were to continue trying to do the weekly update thing then people would start becoming dependant on it and EXPECT it. Then if they happened to not release an update one week then people would jump on the forums posting "where is it" and start whining that Anet is abandoning the game.

The thing is, the updates are really supposed to be for fixing bugs/exploits and rebalancing (classes, economy, drops, etc). Anything else we get is a bonus. The way things are turning out people are expecting new content with every update even though this clearly wasn't the intent of the update process.

I WANT A SPYGLASS!!!

*sigh* but it's such a small and insignificant item that it attracts no attention at all... Anet should know with graphics like these how much of an effect having a spyglass could have

Hmm...no update today apparently... I wonder if it will be tomorrow or next week....

One final note: Some of you will wonder if we've forgotten that ascended characters with obsidian armor need challenges too... Don't worry. You're next.

*sigh*

Fix Faction please, I request a factor of 16 change although 26 is closer to our guilds performance for most 16 will bring PvP and PvE on a par.

Retroactively reward faction for fame earned.

Fix Hall of Heroes.

If you're feeling nice UAS.

Bring back rank sticks.

Do something for PvE players.

90% of the updates thus far have been PvE based....I only play PvE so I'm enjoying reaping the benefits of this...but ArenaNet can't shorthand the PvP community. I'm happy with the game the way it is..I don't play PvP and I've owned the game for about a month and a half and still have from Dragons Lair on before I'm done. This game is PERFECT for the casual gamer...the only people having problems with the game are the hardcore gamer kiddies that play 10 hours a day....I realize you want more PvE stuff to do..but if A.Net ignores the PvP community this game is going to fail(unfortunately)...I'd expect the next few updates(with the exception of the new content) to be PvP oriented.

Most updates have been bug fixing and exploit closing.

PvE new content have been 6 new quests (3 avaible at any time, 3 when we have favor) and Ale.

XP reward changes is not new content and neither is 15k armor texture/mesh changes or scyncronized emotes.

PvP had a major alteration with the fraction system, PvE had no major changes or inprovements ... its not like they got rid of WaW or guildhalls serves for anything but PvP map.

The next major update coming for PVE isnt just one or two new quests, but a whole new area and missions. Sometime this summer....

Drakron · Jul 07, 2005, 03:38 PM // 15:38

They stated "over the next weeks" they would be updating the 15k armors, I rather they updated a armor set instead of doing nothing.

PvE needs a lot of updating because its currently end game and gold/time sinks are weak ... there is little to do besides farming, after Kyrta the amount of quests drop to a point were south Shiverpeaks is just exploring, these new maps will not solve it.

You go over to Snake dance many times?

I did it once and I was bored out of my wits, a huge map with nothing but monsters (I just did to complete my map) and even with quests its something we do once and get over with, quests do not take that long.

Problem is that PvE can not be as easy "updated" as PvP, PvP just needs new modes and maps and its done ... PvE is a diferent beast and what is really need is something for the player to log in and stay, houses and clothing is something that would keep players in PvE until new quests come out.

Also a critical flaw is they are treating guild in a strict PvP point of view, 1v1 PvP guild matches will not appeal at all for small or strict PvE guilds as guild storage is more a critical update for such guilds.

I wonder why I am in a guild ... I know WHY I joined but seeing how the guild serves no purpose for me besides the Guild Channel (that I just use for chat) and I am forced to wear that cape that have so many clipping issues with some classes armor and some weapons.
