I would definitely say the refunds, I run a Ranger/Elelmental build, I chage my elemental skils constantly, just about every mission. I go from fire to ice to lightning to earth, it all depends on what I am killing.

Although SF was a terrific add-on, my vote has to go to Observer mode, which not only added a fascinating aspect to the game, but really stands out in the history of gaming as a revoltionary advance.

Just think of the technology behind it - yes it seems simple enough, but how many of us would have thought it possible 3 years ago?

ANet raised the bar for ALL online games this year - and for that they deserve huge thanks.

Half-Life 1 has had that feature for years, along with the ability to record games to disk.

Hell, I think even Quake 1 may have had that feature.

It's most definitely not new.

1. Faction.

2. Attribute Refunds nixed

3. Holidays!

4. Toggable capes/hats - I finally could hide that hideous necro face scar.

SF for sure. Can't wait till I can actually take Henchies into UW/FOW (It's GOTTA happen!) That will be my pick for 2006.

Except for the part about automatically showing only games from top guilds (although you can get top clanmatches for HL mods from many sites), it was pretty much like this.

Observer Mode is very cool and is a great addition to GW, but it's not very novel.

1) Refund points: They didnt make sense in a game like GW anyway. If you can change your skills any time you like, why not the stats that those skills depend on ?

2) Observer Mode: Being able to watch the top guilds in action was a great experience.

3) Faction and increased gain after PvPX: Even though I'd like this to increase further, its pretty good.

4) A tie between Sorrow's Furnace and toggleable capes and hats.
