Friday Night Update

Just received major update. Details were delayed due to information not available at time of post. Now the information:

Update - Friday December 8

Added support for the Polish language.
Made it easier to capture the following elite skills: Toxic Chill and Blinding Surge.
Fixed bugs and made improvements to the following quests: Scholarly Affairs, Ghosts in the Graveyard, Student Sousuke, Money on the Side, and Loyal 'til the End.

You can refresh guildwars.com just as well as I can.

If you put any combination of "Nerf," "Domain," "of," and/or "Anguish," you'll receive a status message stating "learn2playn00b!"

Because they're always just so punctual with that info, huh?

yeah...

It isn't on GuildWars.com yet. I'm guessing it had some of the files for Wintersday, and I've been hunting for any chances. Haven't found any yet.

Edit: It's up now, small update. I'm guessing most of the files probably were hidden Wintersday files

• Added support for the Polish language.
• Made it easier to capture the following elite skills: Toxic Chill and Blinding Surge.

No change in Razah = useless update.

Any why does ArenaNet love fixing newbie quests?

Oh, the irony.

Waiting for nerf to DoA, while calling the rest of content noobish.

Now that's comedy...

tbh newbie's need all the help they can get. by the time they get to the later quests, things can be a little tougher/complicated and they can deal with it

*grumbles* What about all the other stuff that needs fixing?

Newbie quests = quests on Istan. Big difference. I thought that was obvious.

Factions for example was a newb killer.

I still feel sorry for the people who didnt buy or play Prophecies before hand, its so much different.

In Factions things just go too fast, while in Prophecies it is much slower giving more time to the player for him to adapt and assimilate the info, enjoying the game while gradually learning about it.

I think they should give these newbie quest fixing priority, new players dont need to suffer any more then we old players have to,not yet at least. (although their time shall come mwaahaha)

Let noobies stay in their "pre-sear" a litle longer (where everything was perfect and dreamy if you get the analogy).

Any way just voicing my opinion, as im sure your question has alot of subjective answers.

I agree with the above , new players need to be eased into the game , not have the book thrown at them , for the old timers its ok because we can adapt and combine skills easliy , where as a new player will go "this is a load of bollocks and walk away , thus we loose another community member and that is a sad thing indeed , so A-net please keep updating the beginner quests so we will have more players for the future.

agree with the above too. I have all 3 and played Proph through 4 times, then I took my noob Rit through Factions, and once I left Shing Jea, it was quite frustrating, especially those Jade Brotherhoods

Anyways I also agree with Zinger that seeing them tinker with the easy stuff while delaying addressing the real problems is frustrating

edit: why was Toxic Chill ever hard to cap? Just because you have to do a few quests so he'll spawn in his normal spot........you want to fix a hard to cap elite, look at Feast of Corruption, or some of those elites buried way in the far end of some of those Torment areas

A bug is a bug no matter if it is on the lowliest quest or the leetest of leet missions..all need to be fixed so stop crying.

the thing is, Admins, that there will always be the tiniest bug to be squashed, such as some wrongly colored pixel, dialogue typo, or noob island quest that could be changed up a bit........

but there are some very major issues that really kill the game experience that are very frustrating, that everyone has voiced and anerf acknowledges, and those take the back seat as long as something easier can be worked on (this is human nature)

Sorry but these "major" issues are not major they are nothing tbh just 50-60 page long rants with stupid people throwing insults and trying to be clever.

Is DoA a major issue? no, its playable, its beatable.
Auction House..lived without for well over a year now a few more weeks won't hurt.
L9 sunspear..who cares
AFK lightbringer points..see above

Typical little update.

I do agree with above post that it is a shame that newer players do not get to experience the original Prophecies Pre-Sear and the Ascalon maps the way they were when the game first came out. Prophecies for my first char was a long slog, but at the end of it you were a good player.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I lol'd. Quit crying already, man.

He (She?) didn't mean to nerf DoA, the point is it takes all that crap to unlock a hero of dubious use for those without Factions and of almost no use when you think about only having 3 hero slots. Forcing people to either buy the gems or to spend 20 hrs+ completing Mallyx. And I wanted a rit hero, but it just isn't worth it...
