Twice? I failed after the first time.. still.. I now have access to an armor set I didn't want or need

CHunterX · Oct 12, 2007, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Are missions locked after you update?

wolfwing · Oct 12, 2007, 11:07 PM // 23:07

heh I hope we get to keep the reputation in regards to the book..:> 40 vanguard saved me a huge headache...:> Anyone know how high up you can hand in the books? Doing the main quest would certainly make doing vanguard alot easier.

Primaries are fixed now

It is our understanding that there will not be a rollback, and we will not be actioning any accounts. We will confirm that, but that's as we understand it.

Made me chuckle.

They can hardly say "Heres a weekend for easy rep farming" then when we find an easy way to farm rep "THATS NOT PART OF THE WEEKEND!!"
Its confusing and you can hardly hold the players reponcible for thinking "oooh nice new update to rep farming" instead of "on no a bug"

vergerefosh · Oct 12, 2007, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Yes you can. The reputation farming is stated as being from quests and kills, not filling up a book, storage, another, book, storage, another etc etc and then handing them all in for mass points

We maxed it through quests not the book, which is obviously an exploit

Versus Envenom Enchantments

5 Energy, 1 Second Cast, 20 Second Recharge. Spell. Target foe loses one Enchantment. For every remaining Enchantment, target foe is poisoned for 3...9 seconds.

Let's see - we'll reduce the recharge by 12 seconds, but it will cost you:

-- 20 more energy
-- double the cast time
-- 10 seconds of self poison

That's awesome.

Go read the skill description before commenting. target foe and ALL FOES IN THE AREA lose 1 enchantment you become poisoned. Might be useful if the cast time is reduced.

I just realised that too! Chillblains is pretty awesome now.

Blood Drinker + Chillblains + Plague Sending is a good combo for AoE condition spam and enchantment-hate.

iirc, you've always been able to do the book>storage>get another book thing, there just wasn't much of a point to it until now.

But doing that to get paid to buy pages . . . that is exploiting

Picking up huge quest reward on a quest reward weekend isn't. I honestly didn't think once it was wrong

It was always all foes in the area. Its nerfed.

Hailey Anne · Oct 12, 2007, 11:36 PM // 23:36

For once im overall happy with the update. With the exception of 2 things.
Chilbains nerf sucks.
That was the one thing I made sure to bring to Aspenwood for those lame A/Me Deadly arts builds. with perma SF. Guess Ill have to go N/Me with signet enchant removal.
And Frostmaw chests giving lockpicks rather than diamonds suck.

Edit: Was thinking vabbi armor too diamonds. oops. I stil rather have my diamonds than a lockpick though
It was the the destroyer weapons I was thinking of. Which I was saving for those too.

Agressive refrain is Re-Applied every time a shout or chant ends on you... ummm... so... you're either looking at a 60AL para, or a monk who has to remove that condition every time its applied when in battle.

I don't know about you, but I tihnk that's a significant nerf...

Ok, let me re-word my aforementioned statement: Do you want Paragons with a conistent re-applying -20 AL condition every time a chant or shout ends on them?

I think not, thus making the AR nerf more significant than people are making it out to be.

Misinformation is the cancer that is killing Guild Wars.

By the way, shield armor is global. Don't complain about things when you don't understand the mechanics of what you are complaining about. Do a little research, sheesh.

Vinraith · Oct 12, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

There should be a title rollback.I wouldn't ban them because one should never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity, but they certainly shouldn't profit (especially not to that degree) from a momentary error in the system.
