First off, this will be a post to praise anet and there work on Guild Wars.

Lately is seems that 70 percent of people on the forums are QQing about something they dislike in the game. If they are that upset about the way anet handles the scope of the game, move on to something else. I, on the other hand, am terribly excited every time they have updates now. Regardless if they nerf some of my favorite builds, it is fun and challenging to come up with new ways to succeed in either pvp or pve. I just can't wait to see what they will come up with in this "monster" update that HOPEFULLY comes out today.

I have had this game from the second month it was out and I lost interest in it right after nightfall came out. It is hard to stay on track with one game solid over 3 years, but when I came back a year later this game was even better than before. I for one appreciate everything they (anet) have done with the game to change it up and make it more appealing to the masses. Now there is something for everyone regardless of how they want to play the game. They can choose to play the game in almost any way they want to. All the flamers and QQers go to another thread and kill it.

<< GG Anet.

Just about 7 hours remaining... just about 7 hours remaining... just about 7 hours remaining...

ARGH!!!

I'm hyping myself up. I hope it really is a monster

I was hoping they would post the details yesterday, but it may even be another week or so for all we know.

<<<Crosses Fingers*

Yeah, when they say "Monster of an update" it's really gotten me curious.

I wonder how big the patch download will be? Most updates are usually... oh, 3 MB... and if an average update is 3 MB, a monster of an update would be what... 10MB+?

Hoping myself that they add a new area accessible to all (that doesn't require Holy Trinity!) but that's just me.

*Camps out in front of Anet and waits for update notes*

good game Anet indeed word of advice change ur logo however ya look like Game Developing Nazi corporation.

So thers a monster of a update coming aye? Ive not heard much seeing as i can't play GW. Hopefully it wont be 2 disappointing im hoping for a Ursan nurf myself also SF So cheesed that im going away tomorrow! i wont know for weeks what this new update is so how ya think I feel?

Any ideas when its supposed to happen?

White Lies · Aug 07, 2008, 01:18 PM // 13:18

When Anet said it was going to be moved to this week I was really disapointed, because what was being hinted at (from the dev team) sounds brilliant, and I was also hoping that it would end all the QQ threads.
If it doesnt come out this week im going to have to sit in a dark room with nothing but a very VERY small torch to calm my exitedness.
*Crosses fingers*
Lets hope its this evening :P

Regardless of the amount of QQ going on, GW is the best and most innovative game out on the MMO market imo, with Aion and Blade & Soul coming. All the other new "hits" got tons of hype and ended up failing to deliver.

People will always whine about things they don't like if you give them a forum and a CRM to listen to them, but that's another brilliant thing about GW - ANet communicates with the community. Even more now since they started doing the wiki journals and talks.

I have said it before I'll say it again:

Prepare to be underwhelmed!

Rothan Celt · Aug 07, 2008, 01:23 PM // 13:23

I belive when they say a monster of a update theres props giong to be some tonic that is so ........Egads! like a Rotting tonic (turns you into rotscale)

But yea i dnt belive there is going to be a huge change dispite the fact that they say its going to be a monster of a update just some cheap pun for the next tonic me thinks

If that is the case ther gonna get flamed at more than usual.
Mostly by me, and i generaly avoid flaming, and look on the brighter side of the updates

This looks like just as good of a place place to post this info as any, if a mod needs/wants to move it, have at.

Yesterday, Regina made an appearance in Lion's Arch int. dis1, for about 45min for a Q/A session. I will now brush up on the "highlights" for those that have not heard already. If need be I also have screens of the q/a session without local chat.

- Ursan is getting the nerf bat. It will no longer be able to be maintained continuously. (There may be addition changes to this skill as well)
- Other norn blessings are getting adjusted
- Shadow form is getting a buff
- There will be changes to the UW monsters
- Hard Mode will be harder
- Hero AI improvements (better usage of skills)
- Changes in Victory or Death
- Unused leet skills get a buff (this is where people started to ask specifics about certain skills)
- HoM changes are not in this update
- There is no planned additional content for GW1
- Game Updates are now on a monthly schedule

Well, that is the highlights. It will not be long now before the update is launched.

@OP, I know how you feel.

TheodenKing · Aug 07, 2008, 01:28 PM // 13:28

I'm fairly certain Ursan is in the crosshairs.. so whatever else happens.. it WILL be a monster of an update, particularly on the forums.

EDIT: Thank you Zamiel, that is helpful info.

White Lies · Aug 07, 2008, 01:30 PM // 13:30

No HoM change? well thats a shame.
Ursan getting being beatten by the nerf-stick looks promising though....

HM harder will be much better too.

Xinrae's Weapon looks interesting, kinda like [weapon of remedy] only instead of the cond. removal, it prot's.

The other rit elites listed aren't that appealing and wtf? Do rit's have just 2 attributes? (In other words.. still no communing/spawning buff for pve?) I'd love to hear the official reasoning behind this.
