I would rather see an update fairly free of bugs than an update full of them. If they need to wait to make the update live then so be it. I for one am anxious for this update. I hope it is not late but if it is I can wait for it.

the more i think about this update, the more upset i think i'll be come thursday...

Regina is right in saying that the common error is to believe that the update will save Guild Wars in the coming weeks. Please don’t take things way out of proportion here, it’s simply is not healthy. We all should have other things we are going to be looking forward to in the coming weeks, and this update can probably be seen as smidge of that offering.

In addition, you have to consider that this update comes with the good, bad, and the ugly. Except maybe the M.O.X. one, unless you count the fire imp summing stone being unusable passed level 20 (doesn’t matter to me).

I will at least hope that boon signet, healing light and life sheath get buffed in the skill update.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the skill update happened last Thursday.

Am I the only to think that they postponed the skills update to counter WotLK up to sale ? Because dates are corresponding and reasons could be thought.

DarkNecrid it was announced by Mrs Buenaobra that past week's update was a quick one before having this week a bigger one.

Doubt it. Only avid GW fans would even know about the date of the update. Its not like the update is being advertised anywhere as a means to draw in new players (why would it anyways, oh boy, this thing called "titles" in a game I've never played are now easier to get).

And a.net doesn't care if avid GW fans go off to play WoW right now or not (they already have your money, there is no harm to their company/buisness model if you play another game).

Link?

I might've missed over this, but she has plainly said that last Thursday was skill update and this Thursday was title & TRP update.

Topinambour · Nov 11, 2008, 05:28 PM // 17:28

Yes you're right DarkNecrid but it seems like the last Thursday's update was a quick patch to fill in something, imho they will be more skills updates this time than last Thursday.

No that would be pretty wrong and if there is its just a PvE skill only adjustment, the skill update last Thursday was the skill update for the month and that's it basically. (and spreading anything else ain't helping!)

There's some sort of tournament on Friday afaik, so I highly doubt Izzy will make changes the day before.

Woutsie · Nov 11, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

So when is it coming out?

FengShuiDove · Nov 11, 2008, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Rewards Points this Thursday as a pacifier, big update 7 weeks from never.

So as far as you know what tournament is this you are speaking of, because it was my understanding that Izzy only made a few immediate changes to some skills that affected GvG last Thursday as not screw up the European ESL tournament that is now finished and there will be alot more pvp skill updates this Thursday.

There's been a lot of talk in the forums and elsewhere about the upcoming game update later this week. Linsey and the rest of the Live Team have been working extremely hard on this for weeks, often working long hours. To try and illustrate this, Linsey mentioned on the wiki that the update notes were going to be pretty long this week -- though the rumour mill incorrectly interpeted her words to mean that this would be the biggest game update ever. The Live Team is working flat out this week to prepare for the build. This week looks like it will be full of nights of long hours for our QA team, who need to comb through the game to check that every single detail works the way it should. Linsey herself was here working very hard over the weekend. Myself and other members of the Live Team just had a meeting a short while ago. The amount of testing work that needs to go into this build is pretty sizeable, and they're warning me that it's possible that they may delay the build. Obviously, delaying the build past its scheduled date of November 13 isn't something they want to do in ideal circumstances, but they also want to make sure that they don't miss any details. I'm just posting to let you know that there is a chance that the build may be delayed. I will try and keep you all updated here.

let the lulz begin

Chill out kiddies. The update will come when it comes. It's awfully easy to say something fails because it doesn't come out on time when you don't have to put in the long hours trying to meet deadlines. Patience is a virtue, and there is more to life than hitting f5 on the wiki game update page. Again, chill...out...
