I run GW at 2560X1600 and never had black bars. It's like watching pan and scan on Plamsa.

Please change the party window back........
This is very annoying, why do they always change stuff to the interface , that NOBODY asked for?

RSGashapon · Jul 18, 2007, 04:03 AM // 04:03

I'm still waiting for them to revert the change made to the attribute point allocation section in the Skills and Attributes panel. Putting the up/down arrows on the left side is unnatural for most people, it just feels backwards. There was nothing wrong with the previous layout. You can't even quickly check if a certain chara has all of his or her attribute points without zeroing all the attribute lines. There is no longer a little indicator window you can hover over, just a counter for currently unused points.

However, I do like the auto-resizing Party panel. Looks cleaner and more well-designed. Now if only the Party Search window were as intuitive as its Party panel cousin...

snikerz · Jul 18, 2007, 04:13 AM // 04:13

its been 1 hour and i'm still at the login screen downloading all the content, so far its @ 524 megs and climbing

i recommend ppl just leave it at the login screen and download all the content now, when the GWEN servers go live you can just buy the update through the online store and your ready to go, and the best part is you dont have to download maps as you go, because you already downloaded the content before hand.

shadowduck · Jul 18, 2007, 04:16 AM // 04:16

I agree with some of the other posters..

The zoomed out map for Tyria looks stupid with the black on both sides. They had to do this because it was stretched vertical so unless they redesign it completely it was the only way the map would not look distorted due to a image stretched the wrong way.

The party window changes are maddening. Just like autotargeting was. GIVE US AN OPTION, not just force a change on the players than add an option later when everyone bitches.

Autotargeting was changed again on this update or last one... 2 options now.. Monsters and NPCs.

Party search is useless.. always has been with the stupid limit on text.. now its even worse with the spam Party Search: every other message.

Come on ANet.. think out things and maybe come to the players for feedback before making such changes.

I've seen America have favor more than I've seen those at the traders.

Because nobody sells them to the traders - to easy to sell them to players directly.

Go to ToA, you will be able to pick them up for aprox. 2k - 2.5k each easily.

Or you could play in hard mode and hope some drop...

Then damn, I'm having some pretty bad luck there, then. Very rarely do I see someone selling one in US dists.

VitisVinifera · Jul 18, 2007, 04:51 AM // 04:51

people (ok me) go to ToA right *after* American loses favor to sell them. Because....there are some groups that were just about to head out before that happened. I only charge 2k though.

They also drop in NM FOW/UW (in addition to bosses in HM)

Change back the party window. Fix observer mode. Party search update=annoying in local chat.

Oh, and stop doing almost worthless updates like this one and do a skill balance.

Spartan Link · Jul 18, 2007, 05:33 AM // 05:33

o.O aint nothing wrong with the update if you all ask me
the new party window isnt so bad the max number in a party is eight anyway make sense to change the vertical option to horizontal and i havent had half the problems people had here

Kayelyyb · Jul 18, 2007, 05:51 AM // 05:51

Curse you i like the idea of the possible kick buttons but i do see flaw.most runners will tell u to pay say on droks run say 3k per run pay 1k snake dance 1k camp rankor 1k at droks or something close to that now what keeps them from taking ur 1k at snakedance and kicking you?

Anyways, any comments from me about the update would interpreted as negative somehow, ergo I will not comment.

Yea it is a little early, although (afaik) July 20th is the set date for the release of the Pre-Release Pack, which is a few days from now (on a Friday here in Australia).

How long in advance do pre-release players have access to the game prior to it officially beginning worldwide? This could be preperation for that in perticular. I could see them doing updates in small chunks, rather than doing it in one huge chunk of files shrtly before release. For all we know, another 'big update' could be planned in the future

Big isnt always useful

Crazy Kalibanov · Jul 18, 2007, 06:18 AM // 06:18

Personally I hate the new party list. As a monk I find it very awkward. I particularly don't like the collapsible ally area. If you accidentally click on the area between the party and the allies, the allies list disappears -- then gg if you were trying to infuse the ghostly.

I also despise the party list resizing. I find this distracting and it upsets my aim when I'm trying to click on someone.

Please give us the option of putting this back the way it was.

If they are others being run as well, they would have to agree to kick you. So just don't get run single by shifty people.
