Two hours is the likely time.

Really, really, really hope Flux is not what people think it is...

Agar · Apr 28, 2011, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Oh the excitement!! I wonder if the HM quests are just harder versions of the old ones we already have.

take_me · Apr 28, 2011, 05:17 PM // 17:17

My char is already 72 months old... really looking forward to the new tonic

Archaes8 · Apr 28, 2011, 05:21 PM // 17:21

Shame I won't be getting my first tonic until my actual birthday in November. :P

Sharkinu · Apr 28, 2011, 05:22 PM // 17:22

3 years to wait for a tonic

Sweeeeeet. Been meaning to dl that mod for a while, this is so much better.

Apprehensive enthusiasm. We'll see what this is like when the update hits.

• Mutual Friends List - Displays the current location of your mutual friends through the Friends List

Not particularly enthused. I appreciate that they're trying to increase social functions, and I'm looking forward to this trend continuing in GW2, but I'm still not going to just pop over to help a friend without messaging them first. The most impact this will have on me is to make it more difficult to lie to certain guild mates about why I'm not coming to help them with Gates of Kryta....

Quote:

• Birthday Tonics - With over 30 new ones in total, all six-year birthday characters will receive a tonic

Guess they got tired of minis / want to make the mini monument slightly less trivial to get? Definitely curious as to what forms we'll have.

In addition, NCsoft and ArenaNet will also be releasing a special Anniversary Update that brings players both additional content as well as the exciting introduction of Flux. Players may remember the ill-conceived actions of the Lunatic Court as they tried to free the Mad King during Halloween. While these events have long passed, the after-effect of this plot has caused instability to seep into the land causing fluctuations. This Flux will come and go monthly and cause alterations to PvP that will encourage players to alter their playing style in order to take advantage of the current Flux.

This could either be a spectacular way to revive stale casual PvP modes, or it could be a complete bust that puts the final nail in the competitive PvP coffin. Actually, it could do both. Random wackiness makes casual PvP formats more fun, and competitive formats less fun, in general. If it's something game-changing like "this week, no monks in GvG!"....heh, actually, that'd be hilarious. Stupid, but hilarious.

Yeah, if they weren't tradeable i'd be super sad.

Apok · Apr 28, 2011, 05:29 PM // 17:29

Will this Flux be the Flux Capacitor? Like, it brings us back to the good ol' days of PvP?

Yol · Apr 28, 2011, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Looks like there'll be some interesting stuff in the anniversary update. I'm not sure about the 'stalker' update, but it would be nice to see the 'last logged in xyz days ago' feature on the friends list though, as that would help in clearing out players who aren't playing any more. Also, I hope the costumes this time don't have the graphic glitches that the last ones had.

Why the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO would you add people to your friends list when they aren't friends?????

To see if someone is on so you can troll him xD

Painbringer · Apr 28, 2011, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Graphic updates so pumped to push my FPS to 60 ~ 61

Its ok no need for the hairdryer to be running while I play save on heat and ears

Sir Cusfreak · Apr 28, 2011, 05:39 PM // 17:39

hmmm...in an instanced game, a player's location is *almost* 100% useless info.

As far as being friends goes, if I'm logged in and youre logged in then we're never more than a couple of clicks away from having our characters in the same place anyway. I mean, considering that if I want to meet up with someone I just say the place name to them...I guess it saves me the trouble of actually having to type "We're in ToA Int" or "GoA Int" or "GH"?
I guess it doesn't really hurt anything to have the feature, but I just don't see the point either. I guess when someone says "when I'm done here" you'll know when that is.
It makes perfect sense in GW2, but not so much here.
I'm guessing this means that the GW2 version of this feature is now done, and they just decided, "may as well toss it into GW as well."

Also:
Happy Birthday, Anet.

Maybe the location only displays if you're in an outpost?

Gabriel of Ravn · Apr 28, 2011, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Yay new HM quests that's all I care about + the high res.
