rotaulave said :" 1) it was easy to get back to 24, took maybe 30min of farming. "

Do you REALIZE how often some of us have to change our builds? Do you know that as a mesmer, it wasn't that easy to just go out and get some exp? It made the game full of grind, and I far like being able to change attribute points at no expense in town than having "flexibility" in the middle of a mission. That only was viable if someone stuck to using roughly the same build all the time.

My favorites:
1) att point change
2) enemy skill meter (made being a mesmer easier) introduction
3) Cap Sig change

My favorite, like everybody else, would have to be screwing the refund

Observer mode maintains a close 2nd

i completly forgot about the skill capping issue. that was a real drag. the SF update is second best after the skill cap deal by far

I think it was all great, with the exception of the AoE nerf

MMSDome · Jan 15, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

BEST: Attribute Refund

WORST: Caromi Tengu nerf

or how they nerf mesmer skills to steal less energy with ether feast and burn and so on

There hasn't been a change that I've disagreed with so far. I for one like the new skill monitor, aoe patch, and refund point changes. SF was kinda nifty too

Sectus · Jan 15, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

I liked all the changes but I think the refund removal was the best. It was especially bad if I wanted to test random builds in pvp using my pve char, I'd have to grind to get back my attributes each time I tested another type of build. It felt like such a joy when I could finally freely allocate attribute points, it made it a lot more fun testing other builds. And oh, the cape toggle was a marvelous change too, I can finally endure the ugly capes my guild usually has, I just turn it off.

AoE Patch
Addition of Dying Nightmares to UW (Seperated noob solo monks from the others... for a while

)
SF update

Mandy Memory · Jan 15, 2006, 09:11 AM // 09:11

faction...end of story

everything was so boring and pointless before that

Ultimate_Gaara · Jan 15, 2006, 09:29 AM // 09:29

A few things.

SF, removing /roll from towns, the new animated bar for casting skills (makes it so much easier for interupts), faction, and let us not forget changing how Sig of capture works.

I wish I could have named just one, but I would feel bad for leaving the others out

IMehler · Jan 15, 2006, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I agree on the refund points.
The worst change was the rune trader. As example. At the start of GW i bought superior absorption for only 10k. Now its 100K.

Ultimate_Gaara · Jan 15, 2006, 09:35 AM // 09:35

Lets try not to focus on the negitives, we already have enough topics covering that aspect of the game.

Kook~NBK~ · Jan 15, 2006, 09:59 AM // 09:59

Best Changes - Sorrow's furnace & the addition of post-storyline quests.
Nerfing ranger spirits
Snowball fights = Loved the level playing field!!!!
Halloween update.

Almost made the list, but not quite: The AoE mod, THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE HENCHIES! "Symbol of Wrath" makes a good monster repellant, now.

Wrath of m0o · Jan 15, 2006, 11:57 AM // 11:57

And the winner is.... PRICE RESET.

That had to be the absolute best thing that happened this year. 100g for a Superior Absorbtion. Fitty-cent for an Ecto. Shards a dime a dozen. Man that was a great day. And all prices back to normal in under what 20-30 min ?
How did this not make the list yet ?

That and being able to see what skill your enemy is using on your hud. That was also a great change.

d3kst3r · Jan 16, 2006, 01:19 PM // 13:19

The best feature I've seen added since playing the game during the betas is...

*drumroll

The PvP inclusion of being able to see the skills that your allies and enemies are using at the top of the screen along with the cast time. This has made everyone more involved with the strategy of PvP as well as made the ranger's job of interrupts a lot easier. Before everyone would run around blindly not know what skills were being cast at all.

The Fox · Jan 16, 2006, 01:26 PM // 13:26

I loved the cap toggle option!

Orbberius · Jan 16, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

There have been so many great changes. Right now I think Observer Mode is my top pick.

A great day indeed. I got there when the Sup Abs were at 1k a piece and being the noob I was only bought a few and instead spent most of my gold in black dye GAH!!! I was mad. I could be a millionaire. Ah well whatever I made a good 200k off of it from the Sup Abs I did buy. Also the skill thing if great for warriors to interupt. If that were taken away a major blow would come to IWAY. *Hint Hint*

David Lionmaster · Jan 16, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

my favorite: being able to see my pets damage, great for a full beastmaster.

second favorite: faction and the increase in faction.

third favorite: removal of refund points, i really hated those, but i dont change my pve build much anyway.

funbun · Jan 16, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

Killing refund points. I this has made it easier to try lots of build combinations in little time. refund point limited ppl to only a few builds. I remember when no one would pick protection monks. Now a person can respec in seconds.

2nd pick Observer mode.
