Lockpick Update

* Lockpicks have been updated to grant Lucky and Unlucky title points. Players will now receive 250 points towards their Lucky title if they successfully retain a lockpick after use, and 25 points towards their Unlucky title whenever one breaks.

Miscellaneous

* Made preparations for the Guild Wars Birthday Party weekend even

looks good in my opinion, let this be a lesson to those who say Aet doesnt listen

Cynical me : So with this good news there has to be a nerf..... there's always a down side with an anet update.....

What! - no down side - kills Cynical me with dagger+2!

Wow Anet - seriously good update - listened to the community once again and did the right thing.
Kudos!

As much fun as you're sure to have racing beetles and battling in the dragon arena, a birthday celebration simply wouldn't be complete without cake! All weekend long, you will find special Birthday Cupcakes during your adventures as well as through ticket exchange on the Boardwalk. Unlike real cupcakes, these special items have some extra qualities that are certain to make you smile. But we doubt these treats will make the vile creatures of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona happy. This is a sugar rush with a vengeance.

"Sugar rush with a vengence"? o.O? Ok, you've got my attention.

Anet does not always listen... but this update makes lockpicks useful... but with the current money drops I doubt I will buy a lot of lockpicks

w00t. Good job, ANet. A lot of people who afk'd for the title are going to be outraged, but I personally think this was a needed addition. Now Lucky/Unlucky actually works with Lockpicks.

you know, I never wanted to waste gold on these lockpicks. I mean I only have 34k under my belt across all my chars, now bare with me, I'm not the type to farm often at all and the fast accumulation of gold that I have been experiencing under Hard Mode seemed great enough in my eyes; But it didn't convince me to spend 1.5k on the lockpicks.

I'm looking foward to buying lockpicks now that there's more to them. ANET thank you very much for being the best towards your fans.

Found the hidden extra's yet?
It might have a lower drop rate now.

I'm guilty as charge up to Favored, Unfavored but I am glad to see another way to advance this title. It was a pretty lame way anyway to get a title, just AFK'ing all night long.

This makes them worth it in my mind, not only do you get a high end item but the chance of upping one of two very expensive titles,

if you have spent 60 gold per point, and playing nine rings cost 10 tickets, which is 150 gold a shot, so this is way cheaper.

Ring of fortune costs two ticket so that 30 gold a game if you lose, maybe cheaper but most play 9 rings to up the title.

You also up the treasure hunter title doing this, and the wisdom one if you get a gold, and then if it doesn't break you get even more out of it!

This is a perfect update, even if the drop rate of them is reduced
