So, does this that the fighter henchie won't use heal sig?

Another change...people with their graphics turned way down because they have crappy video cards (like me) can now see boss auras. No more guessing games when skill capping.

They didn't change it back. It was completely intentional. Today they even added it to the update notes on GW.com.

So the update has downloaded and is installed. Now my charecter who i have just raised to lvl 19 and just bought new armor....... oh must i also say i got 2 rare drops in less that 15 minutes ( 2 black dye ) and...........after playing this charecter since christmas, now i am informed my account has been banned for 24 hours because my name is offensive. Can someone tell me ,was this game developed by adults for adults? Rated T for teen ( violence ). Now, i am sure that NCSOFT is not run by the religious right, so..................... can anyone explain, or try to explain............why this is happening? oh, just FYI Cat Poop is my chars name. so its offensive? Well isint it offensive, and degrading having charecters disrobe to their underwear and start dancing? Whats next, Will they ban you for doing that? Oh i forgot, thats ok because they thought of it................ If i lose what i worked so hard for, i will boycott factions, and i am sure i am not the only one going thru this problem after the moralistic update today......... please tell me if i am wrong. I play with just 1 friend i have met ingame and we do most missions by ourself. Am i wrong here? Over 400 hours logged playing to date.

what they need to fix is when you have both the healer and protector hench with you. they always try to resurrect the same person instead of each doing one.

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 11, 2006, 01:01 AM // 01:01

Cat Poop funnier than I Hump Yo Mama or something in that line of names and believed me i see more offensive names out there than Cat Poop. Don't feel bad, its likely a temp ban and you'll be back. I hope.

As for the update, damn its that long to download...

Diablo™ · Mar 11, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

I do believe that prior suspending your account for 24 hours, Anet gives you the chance to rename your character.

I do agree that Arenanet has a weird sense of what's offensive though. For example the word Sex is disallowed, but somehow Erotic is ok. Go ahead, try naming your pet that...

Curbsplitter · Mar 11, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

TY Diablo......... i couldn't believe what happened. What do i do for the next 21 hours now............ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

21 hours, you can go to the store and pick up your preorder for GW: Factions? Or play Counter Strike?

umm, what did they change that stopped perdition rock and the eastern frontier from working??? its kind ofa major pain in the ass, i rreally was looking forward to crushing the last day dawns

Diablo™ · Mar 11, 2006, 01:09 AM // 01:09

Better Idea:

Beer + Jenga.

21 hours will be over before you know it...

There's a hell of a lot of caromi between Lions Arch and Bergen now, a hell of a lot..

Nater · Mar 11, 2006, 01:23 AM // 01:23

Am I the only one that noticed the 15>50 craftable axe at Droks? I didn't see it mentioned in the pages of this thread I skimmed, nor at Guildwiki.

This is killing me too, GW has run at a solid 5-10 FPS since this update and it's not playable for me. If they don't do something about this I'm going to have to buy a sound card :/

Woah woah woah! This is intentional!?

I just realized it, sorry to sound like a tool but... wtf are they thinking?

Sure it's good for some but... ugh, it just doesn't sit right for me. "Give me everything right now please" never seemed right in a RPG setting. I like having to WORK for my rewards.

Well whatever, they know what they're doing I suppose...

I agree with the warning/banning for offensive names. There are a lot of kids who play this game which is quite obvious if you've played it a while. There is a chat filter to but that can be disabled so you can't complain too much, be happy they have the option. It's not like they want to add a filter that covers up offensive names to

stickyballs · Mar 11, 2006, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Props on the Skill Trainer thing. Now I can unlock non-elites an Ember Light Camp with my characters by changing secondary professions and then just picking them up in Ascalon with my new level 1 character for really cheap

!

lyra_song · Mar 11, 2006, 03:52 AM // 03:52

Things not mentioned:

Monster preparations no longer slamming them to the ground (someone check non-rangers doing apply poison to see if they still do the /no emote?)

Arrow that hits a wall is "Obstructed"

15k Ascalon Helm Icon Change (someone check the other 15k helms)

This update gave both Mhenlo and Eve a facelift.
