Hey think positive! Maybe they're using their resources to give us a really cool Halloween update?

You know as me it will be a copy paste of last year one( which was copy paste of 2 years ago , etc..). They won't even dare to make costume brawl longer i bet , since it's automatic system... . Ah yes , we'll get new masks woooo ( i'm betting on grentch mask ), or why not new costumes for which you need to pay ( it would be a huge joke though..).

on a sidenote : i'm still waiting aswell an answer about codex which i didn't get on other closed thread

July 8 added Battle for Lion's Arch and the predecessor quest. That looked like a pretty real update to me.

Pretty much what Vodka said.

The only way I can see them redeeming themselves is if they top it all off by allowing 7 heroes.

Let's look at it from the bright side...

no unneeded nerfs

ok, thats pretty much the only good point

i was afraid for a sec it'd be a rit nerf, as a few have been complaining about rits with spirits (even though a rit was made to have them -_-)

i was hoping for the full hero teams in pve, but i think its just false hope they gave us

this update is useless for me, lets hope for a better one next time

I've gone back to Diablo 2 instead of this game. And I found myself wondering why? I've probably put x2 hours into Diablo 2 than Guild Wars and yet somehow it's more fun to replay. And then I realized its because I feel like I'm getting rewarded with what I do.

Guild Wars kinda failed to do that for me. Before I go any further, this is my opinion, I am not implying that this is the same for everyone else. When I farm Mephisto (A Boss) It takes around 5 minutes and although it is very unlikely that I get anything useful, I still feel as if there is a solid chance.

In Guild Wars you farm a dungeon/area it can take between 45 minutes to 6 hours and it really feels like you are going to get nothing out of it. The only drop I have ever gotten that was good was a Voltaic Spear. That's out of 5000 hours of playing, since Prophecies.

I'd just love a bit more reward for my work, increased drop rates etc. Yes you can argue maybe everyone will have E blades and Voltaic Spears etc but they are all vanity items anyway, It's a bit late to care about it. I don't mean everytime you go to Underworld you get an Eblade, but it'd be nice for it to have a bit higher drop rate. It would make me feel like I'm getting a decent reward for what I'm doing. Currently when I think of doing a dungeon I think of getting 2 gemstones, which isn't worth the time.

Wheee long rants about stuff.

Agree totally, and this is something that I've tried to stress constantly. GW can't really hold much on many other rpg's (single player oens included) due to it's sheer lack of apparent reward. PvP is stale, PvE is stale, whereby earning money is a time consuming chore that is painfully apart from the actual game itself.

Haters argue that indeed more people will have the rare items and that they should stay rare...which doesn't really matter at this late stage. I'm not going to spend an hour completign a dungeon to get some crappy golds/onyx gems and think to myself oh well at least the system remaisn balanced. Balance is not one of GW strong parts, we shouldn't bother pretending it is.

Another question to answer is whether mass lewts make it more fun, if we don't find the game fun why don't we just move on? Simple answers really, yes and GTFO. Of course having nice drops makes the game a more pleasant experience, one that we want to stick with due to the fact that we've all sunk so many hours and so much effort building our accounts into fine form. We're not giving up, and would like improvements. Because frankly I'm not logging on just to spend it doing the same thing over and over and over until I finally amass enough purpel blobs to trade for a big purpel glowy item.

TBH, if you like grind wheels then go play Blizzard's rpgs.
Since there's no such wheel in GW the game ends sooner or later. No content update will ever satisfy you, if you don't have fun by just playing the game. Most of the past balance updates were released to refresh the experience, but not for the sake of balancing the game as the major factor.

Excuse me, I meant "real" skill update. Not content.

It will have been 4 months since the Mesmer skill update on the 21st.

Talk about lowered expectations.

Yeah, they're pretty low right now. I was honestly a little shocked to see that the map rotation had actually worked.....which is just sad, really.

Couldent agree more, you can switch and change all the skills you want but if all we do is use these "updated skills" on the same old content, whats the point?

PvP gets boring when the meta is the same shit for months on end. I guess I can understand how it doesn't affect PvE much, but I honestly would prefer a skill update to new content in PvE any day of the week too.

But that's just my preference.

Rocky Raccoon · Sep 10, 2010, 02:43 PM // 14:43

I have never sen such a group of masochists as the majority of the people who posted in this thread. For all the whine going around you could use some of this: http://www.swisscolony.com/Cheese--M...ese-/index.cat

Things will happen when they happen, if you can't wait try something else.

AngelWJedi · Sep 10, 2010, 02:46 PM // 14:46

*breaks free from the anet headquarters* dont fear folks! they are working on update..*gets zapped back into a cage* yeah that how alot of us in my allaince feels about this. it feels like we're in a filler content for this ever long running gw movie. i bet it will rain ectos before they give us skill updates or those things they said we would have. D: i wanna see new stuff in catha.

Well if your a PvP player can hardly blame you wanting a skill update, im sure most PvE players want more content, to be blunt there isint much chance of a content update I feel with just what 4-9 people running GW?

Skill update is far more feasible.
