Update - Tuesday, July 17, 2007
Party Search

*Whenever a party enters Party Search, an automatic message will now broadcast to players in that party’s current district. For example, if Flamingo Avenger sets “glf monk” as the party’s description in the Party Search panel, “Flamingo Avenger: Party Search – glf monk” will appear in the Chat panel of players in the same district as Flamingo Avenger.

* Whenever a party leader broadcasts “glf,” “lfg,” lfp,” “wtb,” “wts,” or “wtt” in All chat, that party will now be entered into Party Search automatically with that chat message used as the party's description.

User Interface

* The Trade panel now displays the name as well as the icon of trade items present in the trade cart, and a warning message now displays when the person you are trading with changes the offer.
* The Party panel now automatically resizes vertically to match the contents of the panel.
* The Party panel now maintains the same position it was placed in while in outposts and missions.
* The Party panel join frame has been moved to the bottom of the panel.
* Allies and pets are now listed in collapsible groups in the Party panel while in a mission.

Domain of Anguish

To balance the Domain of Anguish appropriately for a wider variety of players, the difficulty of this realm has been adjusted. Some of the changes apply only to Normal mode.

* In Normal mode only, all world effects outside of the final battle have been removed.
* In Normal mode only, damage output has been reduced for a variety of monsters.
* The size of several monster groups found in the beginning areas of the City of Torqua and the Foundry of Failed Creations have been reduced.
* The Enraged ability possessed by creatures in the Domain of Anguish has been adjusted. This ability now gives the caster +50% damage when below 70% Health, and an additional +50% damage when below 30% Health.
* Fixed a bug that occasionally caused Mallyx to stop reacting in combat.

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug in the Nightfall mission the Grand Court of Sebelkeh that caused rifts to erroneously display blue bars when being recaptured by the Blasphemy.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the Factions quest "A Formal Introduction" from loading if players had quests from the Dragon Festival in their Quest Logs.

Miscellaneous

* The Tyrian World Map has been enlarged and adjusted in preparation for Guild Wars: Eye of the North.
* Improved the system for throttling chat spam.
* The Sunspear Rebirth Signet is now sorted under Sunspear skills in the Skills and Attributes panel.
* The Lightbringer’s Gaze and the Lightbringer’s Signet are now sorted under Lightbringer skills in the Skills and Attributes panel.
* Additional behavioral modifications have been made to the Luxon Warriors in Fort Aspenwood.
* Master Architect Gunther no longer runs in front of Fort Aspenwood's green gate.

Pulled from the wiki. Discuss.

Either the update is downloading slow due to the recent lag or my internet has decided now is a good time to slow down to 17 kb/s...

I went into my first HvH daily tournament today and got through the 5th round with 3 wins and 2 losses. when I left that round to my surprise there was a message sayign the game had been updated and i should reload.

I asked in local if i needed to, and someone said no so i waited for the round to ask me to join when to my surprise it woudl ot let me, so i logged out the game, and went to boot it up. It took 3 minutes to download and instal the update, and now 17 minutes later I am loading up the hero battle isle,

I imagine that I have forfieted the final two rounds of this tournament and wasted a tournament token

What idiot at Anet decided the best tiem to make us update was in the middle of a daily tournament, whoever it was should be fired coz nothing else in this game has pissed me off as much as this has.

I've wasted an hour and a half now doing a tournament i didnt get to finish and therefore have no pleasure in doing it at all becuase they stupidly decide that i need this update right now, and not when the tournament ends.

DeBron · Jul 17, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

It's definitely the update, jumping between 10 KB/s and 70 KB/s.

This is taking a long ass time to dl..cant wait to see map

GloryFox · Jul 17, 2007, 10:42 PM // 22:42

DoA was changed only 9 months too late. It's left too much of a bad taste in people's mouth like sea water in Lemon Juice, yeah people will drink it but it's in no way refreshing.

Traveller · Jul 17, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Well I don't get how this is supposed to work? If you type WTB/WTS in trade chat and the message is too long for Party search box, your message is cut in half! I could only write "WTB Koosun's fire staff or Rago" and the rest was cut off. How the heck are you supposed to write longer trade announcements than that?

This is my only complaint about the update. Yes it's stupid. But that bug is the only known way to kill Mallyx, as most DoAers know. After the first attempt at fixing this bug the number of Mallyx kills dropped DRASTICALLY because it only worked maybe 1/3 tries. Honestly, there is no way for the average party to kill him. Perhaps with a specific gimmick build that concentrates solely on killing him, but such a group would have problems getting through the mobs preceeding him.

I say if you're going to get rid of the bug, nerf him. Make him hard, yet possible to kill with a regular team.

Looks like a great update, I have been using the Party Window since it came out now it will get some real use

. Its a nice touch you can easily type it in All and it will auto bump it to the PW, that is a really nice feature, makes it quicker and easier to adapt. Seems like the lines will be getting longer too according to:

* The Party panel now automatically resizes vertically to match the contents of the panel.
* The Party panel now maintains the same position it was placed in while in outposts and missions.

But DAMN, ive got 24k files to go through! Thats with -image but damn, I thought maybe I broke GW! Def those files, if they havent started preloading GWEN, that HAS to be the map, since they would need to completely rebuild it and keep it attached to former progress for each person. It would be that big. Regardless, DAMN, large update.
