(Yes, I know you knew that, I was being funny. Ha ha.)

Anyway, I'm loving this. First observer mode, now reconnects and party formation, I wonder what Anet will give us next December?

so in gvg, run something with a gank, go rape their base, wait until they send stuff back, disconnect yer router, get back on vent, ask yer friends when their base is clear of their guys again, then hope in and continue killing stuff.

sounds like fun times wooo

Your character stays in game, can be attacked, killed, etc.

Or, in pvp speak: gg lrn2play kthnxbye

*sigh* You honestly think that you're the only one who thought of that and that you're smarter than ANET that they wouldnt think of doing something to prevent that? And Please read the other parts of the thread where people have already explained why your scenario won't happen.

If your computer bombs out and turns off and you decide to take a quick leak, have a smoke, check out the hockey scores on TV, drive to the corner store for some candy then come back home turn on the computer and logon to Guild Wars you can start where you left off as long as it is within 10 minutes.

Nexus Icon · Dec 14, 2006, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Damn fine Xmas prezzies.
Particularly looking forward to Candy Canes as I didn't get a chance to grab any last year.
Oh, and does Party Search come with a moron filter?

anet, this totaly makes up for all the crap you have done in the past. but none of the crap you will do in the future.

W00T!!!

This is possibly the best news I've heard from ArenaNet since they released the info about Nightfall!

Awsome job ArenaNet! I'm so happy, I feel like getting a christmas present for all of you that worked on GW....but then again, I don't know how to give it to u guys, and it might be a tad too expensive....

And Congradulations on selling 3 million copies so far! Let's hope that it keeps going at this rate!

I SINCERELY HOPE this isn't what they've done.

-Forjo

I hope that it covers all districts at your town (including international) and you can add people to your party, even if they aren't in your district. As long as it has that, then I'm more than content!

Then again, a party system that only searches in your district will make me more than content!

I really hope so. I love any winter holiday decorations, and seeing them in all the continents (in at least one city per continent, hopefully more) will make the event so much better for me.

More decorations (even if they are the same everywhere)=Way better for me

And then if the decorations are even slightly different in each place...

I'm gonna stop thinking about this before I explode from a build up of too much happy-ness...

(Please note that my attention span doesn't extend to reading a whole 11 pages of <3s for Anet to find important stuff, this may not be up to date).
First, I'd of course like to include a <3 for Anet, the reconnects will make everything much more bearable in both the realms of PvE and PvP. Group formation will unclog chats, I think.

. It looks like gankers are just out of luck, but the worse will be flag runners and antigankers, the antigankers will be free to get DP with no strings attached and the flag runner (unless they hopefully realize the problem and have him auto drop it) but if not that flag runner is going to be standing there for up to ten minutes, with the flag in their hands. btw in case this sounds to meh

For Anet and their 3mil copies (Though half the people have second accounts

)

artay · Dec 14, 2006, 12:46 AM // 00:46

NOOOOO i'm goin on holiday from 16 dec to 10th jan!! nooooo i'll miss everything!!!

Carth` · Dec 14, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Amazing news.

And now nobody can have a get out of jail free card when they want to leave. If it was an err7, they can come back, so I bet we will see less err7s and more people leaving and not coming back within 10 mins.

generik · Dec 14, 2006, 01:40 AM // 01:40

What about loot? Will loot that has dropped before the player got disconnected remain?

Imagine you running to pick up the sword of uberness and just when your character is about to pick it up everything froze and seconds later you get an err=7. Being able to rejoin the party is meaningless if someone else has already yoinked your sword and left the party.

items remain assigned for 10 minutes i believe, and that is how long your character remains in game, so I don't see any problem here.

WOOT on party finder and reconnects. now if only we could get rid of the bots in Fort Aspenwood....

Thallandor · Dec 14, 2006, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Thanks for the heads up Anet. Keep up the good job

Bowman Artemis · Dec 14, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

This boggles the mind even more than 286 x 195.01205^∞+2

Thanks anet. Now I'm gonna have a bruise on my arm where I pinched myself.

But this update makes up for it!

Daemon Dremora · Dec 14, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

Wow i really do love anet...lol. i am so glad they are implementing these things. Cheers Anet.

kurtas · Dec 14, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

So any word on when these will be implemented?
