Uh the update didn't happen yet but who cares...discuss!
Next month's update - GvG takes place on RA arenas, removed all the npc's!

There was a hickup in the time/space continuum, update will be live shortly

Ummm.....what? =o

boo, at least they are trying, Martin do we really have to wait 2 weeks, for the next VOD change?... This change is really just going to force the next extreme, split builds working off all NPCs pre VOD, then just keeping the poor suckers team who has no npcs left in their base with the Lord, one snare to keep you from running a flag and it's gg. Ohwell at least 8v8 isn't forced upon anymore.

is it just me, or is the euro guildwars website formatted better...?

How do you know what's going to be going into the update next month?

Fix your flux capacitor, that may be the problem. Here's a spanner.

What a short, nice little update ^.^

What happens in single eliminations if the match draws at the stand at 28min?

wow gvg's getting all...sped up?

isn't the Euro one using the old NA layout one?

What's the point of removing important tactical elements like locked gates and guild thieves? A gate is no longer a gate, a base is no longer a base.

. . .

ZOMG, another update?! why anet seems concentrating the pvp change only in GvG?
>>
a small change on "Make Haste!" or another the most used skill in HA/TA would be nice...

One extreme to the other, hitting the nail hard usually ends up in a bent nail, hitting it ever so semi-hard yet consistent yields straightness.

Thats only cause they never hit the nail straight on the head.

why they remove gate locks lol

GvG totally killed, GvG=HA. People, get prepared for more Phoenix!!!!1!!11
Edit:
Petition. Change GvG name to HA 2.

/signed

I had no idea that site was different. I always visit guildwars.com and also players.guildwars.com isn't working. The EU one has a nicer layout for game updates page.
Anyway on topic of the update its nice that there changing parts of the game quite a bit even though i don't GVG.
also flux capaciters don't get fixed by spanners

wait

no more theives...?

AT ALL?

i dont get it. isnt the base tactics what makes a gvg a gvg, and not HA?

Glimmering Mark no longer ignores armor. At 16 Air the skill did 26 damage per second, ignoring armor. While I did not see much use of it while it ignored armor (because who is going to cast it and wait patiently while it has its full effects), it seems even more worthless now.

btw
if this happen .... pls update the game name!
yes i repeat... UPDATE THE GAME NAME! or better CHANGE THE GAME NAME into
"TEAM/RANDOM ARENA WARS!!!"
or whatever!
