The update was 2mb in size.

Gaile has responded to this thread; "We updated to change a configuration on a server in China."

She asked, what do you think? in reference to not posting minor non-impact changes to the game or hardware.

Two sides have formed: All updates should be noted at least in some location not necessarily the traditional location vs. we don't need to know what every update is.


Gaile has responded to this thread a second time; "I have written Mike O'Brien, one of the co-founders of ArenaNet, to ask if we can begin to publish update notes for each and every update that we produce."

Latest Info:

Gaile has responded with great news... there will be more update notes on some, not all, small updates!

Most annoying thing about Anet is the lack of information regarding updates.

This update was a single 2mb file that decompressed into 4 files.

More often than not updates come with a lack of information or none at all. What is the big secret?

And the fact that Anet uses fan forms as the place for players to list problems etc instead of having their own forum for that purpose is a bit annoying as well - but that is another thread.

Have you visited the updates page on their website?
I find that they provide plenty of information on updates, sure they may not update the page instantly when an update arrives but more often than not there is information for each update.

They haven't (yet) posted anything about this update. A guildie just got Err=007 multiple times while trying to zone so that bug hasn't been fixed.

I'm glad someone pays attention instead of constantly complaining.

I visit Guild Wars official site reqularly, especially after an update. Although they do provide a description for major updates , they do not always provide info and in somecases not all the info is included. And I won't get into the under the hood stuff that we discover as we play.

I believe Gaile said all the nameless updates are filled with fixes that they forgot to put in previous updates.

it could have just been that floating tree is finally rooted... if people havent found out what it was, then it must be something trivial.

roflmao!

Makes me laugh every time there is a minor update and how people think their build is going to be nerfed or even made better if luck be on their side. And a thread like this appears. When all it amounts to is something like the above or even less like we noticed the kouman don`t always attack when they should.

I think its to stop the Vabbian Arena in Random Arenas Test bug.\

(A King of the Hill style arena was discovered by a small number of players and is presumed to be something from Nightfall that was scraped before release)

Dwayna and Grenth were overwhelmed at Christmas with all the pressie hungry players, so they had to nip out in the January sales and get the rest of the presents.
