a very weird little update

Arkhanel Quin · Mar 11, 2006, 04:42 AM // 04:42

can't get around the damned update...i'm not waiting for anything at the logon screen. clicking and entering my password as fast as possible. I just get a connecting screen for 15 minutes then it gives me a 058 error.
(no, its not my firewall) UUGGH. This is driving me nuts.

Checked my router, ports are open, i even ipcofig release renewed and restarted! Bleh.

Arkhanel Quin · Mar 11, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

mmm, update finished...still not connecting. not cool. : ( same error. Maybe i'll try back tomorrow. My network connectivity to everything else is perfect and i'm listening to half lf my guild play right now. Doesn't make sense : /

Major vigor is now 7.5K at the rune trader.

ecto still at 7-8K though. :P

zakaria · Mar 11, 2006, 08:11 AM // 08:11

I'm pretty sure it restarts from where you leave off. I left GW open at the login screen, let it download 50MB or so of stuff, exited to go do other stuff, restarted GW later, downloaded another 50MB of stuff, repeat, la la la blah while other people downloaded it all at once.

Typing out "Chitin Fragments" is awkward..."Shells" was so much easier to type out. :|

Corrected the crafting costs of the Monk's Ascetic Fissure of Woe armor and the Necromancer's Scar Pattern Fissure of Woe armor to include Obsidian Shards.

OMG! That is such a ripoff. I just got the Vellum and ecto to make my freaking Fissue armor TODAY! Whoever's genious idea that was needs to be punched in the ear.

You still have to unlock them, I think they major idea behind it is, it will make going trough the PvE again much less of a pain for a lot of people.

It might even reduce runners a bit, not much, but a bit, since you dont have to run to someplace to get that one skill you need so bad.
I had my 2nd necro run a fair bit to get to Copper for the Verata's Sacrife, then went back and did the Ascalon missions.

March 10 update probably fixed something from the sound playback. I don't get extra lag anymore but some sound effects are still cut away if there is too many enemies around which produce sounds. I really hope they add a checkbox which change it back how it was before March 9 update. Quality slider don't fix anything.

Yes, I have onboard sound chip. Soundstorm. It suppose to be one of the best onboard sound chips available but I guess it is not.

At least certain hardware acceleration is poison for it.

well, i noticed the update coming through last night while playing, but i still have to go through the map pack... fun fun

HAHA, ha, ha - this is the one time a 56 is no problem - my Dl rates are the same as yours, and constant - server sees a 56 and gives it full stream, not so for variable adsl/cables.... LOL

superj76 · Mar 11, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Grrrrr....Sound Like Im in Bubble Fix PlZZZZZZZ A-net U listening?????????????

Arkhanel Quin · Mar 11, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Still unconnectable the morning after : /
Should I bother running a network scanner and reporting to ArenaNet? I imagine it'll be a days wait or so to hear back.

This update was definitely the death of ANets claim that "all changes are documented in the 'updates' text". Half the stuff, even really major stuff like that the skill traders now show all unlocked skills, isn't in the update notes.

sabretalon · Mar 11, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

I thought I saw the info posted on their website in regards to the skill traders? In the skill training notes?

Anyone else having problems heading out to prophets path from Augory?

wolver1ne · Mar 11, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Those having problems with the sound, try upgrading to the latest DirectX User-End Runtimes.

Worked for me.

Edit: apparently the only place, at least for me, where sound is pooched is the Fire Island. The rest of the world seems to be fine. Weird... >_>

Skill Training Updates:

* All skill trainers can now sell you any non-elite skill that you have previously unlocked on your account.

Yes it does. If only they'd sell you Elite's you've unlocked on other characters for like 5K and 5 skill points or something. I'm so sick of capping.

Numa Pompilius · Mar 11, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

Hmmm... Could've sworn that wasn't there when I read the notes. OK, I stand corrected, and ANets claim that all changes are documented sortof still lives.

Savio · Mar 11, 2006, 03:27 PM // 15:27

They've changed the update notes at least twice, so it's understandable.
