If you hit the "M" key and warp to the Tomb of Primeval Kings you can participate in what is known as PvP. I assure you, you will find the challenge you are seeking. Of course most people just end up complaining that this is too challenging. Go figure

Quoted again for truth. PvE doesn't involves changing strategies, using tactics that can be reacted upon. They just give the monsters bigger stats or make you fight more at a time and call it a challenge. I don't want my PvE to be work because the only reason I PvE is the game forces me so I can PvP. This is a good change.

umm what about coop mission boss. You know the last boss you have to kill for the mission to end(well some of them anyway). What if your trying to capture that skill from them. So if boss dies cut scene happens do you get the chance to get the skill? Sure something else might drop it but usually I like getting it from them least I know they will spawn there.

As for the runes...I don't buy from people really cause I just wanna find it one my own. Also I don't have a lot of money now(trying to get al 15k armor) E/Mes don't farm that well

.

Best thing I see is that henchies don't run after everyone dies and respawns. Was such a pain to get to granite that way.

This was a good update. No, let me change that. It was a GREAT update.

And you people saying that Elites are elite because they're supposed to be hard to find, well obviously you're wrong since that's not what ANET sees it now. I really don't see how you equate something frustrating and tedious to get as being Elite. They're elite because you can only have one in your skill bar, that's plainly obvious since this is a strategic game.

It's so true... that is why PvE as a whole depresses me... I see no point to play GW due to this situation though, for people who do not like or appreciate PvP.

I hope no one that was one of those PVP people who wanted a UAS button are complaining because they are the ones who brought around this new way of capping skills.

Searching for an item is not fun, but finding something special is. Therefore, the best thing to do is make special items that you don't need to search for to get a full power character.

I'm behind you on the glowing dyes XD

Well, instead of nerfing Elite Capture quests into simple search and destroy missions, what they should have done then, if keeping in the spirit of PvP was allow for an Elite skill to be a reward you can obtain for achieving something in PvP like taking the HoH or winning consecutively a set number of times or....well, people with more time than me could think of something.

I don't think there was any skill involved in capturing skills before. If you had everything else the boss had, then you just spammed the sig until it worked. If you were lucky, you got it.. if not.. you didn't get it. There were some weird things that people did to get it to work on some things.. but I wouldn't call that skill. Dropping armor and running around to get an elite isn't skill, it's unnecessary garbage that's better off not in the game.

The only thing this hurts, is if someone ran to a boss to steal, and couldn't kill them.. but eh.. I doubt that effects too many people.

This patch is great, I'm really happy to see the direction they're taking it.
