Next big update?

the last was in april right so is the next one in august? and if so what else can they add to the game?

Well.... An auction house? New pvp area? Ugh.. it's hard to think when your half asleep. :P

A better tiebreaker for GvG. Or at the very least, a damage chart to show how much damage each team has on the opposing team's lord at any given time during the match (If not in-game then at least in obs mode).

Since the number of things they can do are endless, i'll just add some things i'd like to see done.

PvP
We already know removing heroes from HA and GvG is being worked on.
for HA, remove forgotten shrines, add broken tower back or some sort of kill count.
for GvG, like still said, a better tiebreaker
^ i consider those two things big.

PvE
Stop the speed clears, stop the dungeon running, encourage people to at least try playing guild wars.
Maybe add some new content, like new elite areas for dwayna, melandru, and lyssa like we've been asking for forever

s'all for me.

Signs are pointing to some kind of actual new quests/content. Zquests have milked the existing stuff dry.

I wouldn't get excited about the possibility of another big update coming in August. Because there's just as much of a possibility of there NOT being one in August. They've still got the XTH thing to get worked out, and there are still some unresolved bugs popping up that need worked out.

My advice is don't hold your breath and don't be disappointed if there isn't another "big update" coming within the 3 or 4 month timeframe that A-Net set as a goal.

I'd say they'd give Dervishes a stupidly ridiculous boost for PvE.

This.
First they forced us to buy EoTN for Ursan.
Then Factions for SF.
Now Nightfall for Dervish.

That, or that add ridiculously overpowered skills to prophecies.
I want bamph.

GW 2...

yeah?

I bet people would complain less if Anet did a Valve style video before every major update. (edit example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyNuriXG3BQ )

I demand a retroactive Paragon and Ritualist video, preferably with the paragon spear-sniping the ritualist's head into bloody goo, and then giggling.

Actually they force us to buy nightfall for the imbagon, but yes i can see the imba dervish coming pretty soon

I want a new use for skillpoints. Something cheap, like trading them for candy and booze. Or maybe trade ten of them for a zkey? Ever since the zquests came out, those useless points are racking up like crazy.

I really doubt it. In 2008 I practically unloaded on Anet and sent a few pm's to Regina and left notes on Izzy's skill feedback about updating derv skills, the scythe, etc... and how they were/are neglected somewhat in comparison to the other classes.

If it does come, about time. Either way I'm done with gw, so meh.

The guy who mentioned GW2... yeah that is the only thing that will pump up life imo.

Questing title with books to track them per campaign, unique aestatic rewards for completion of a book (pet, mask, hat, gloves in the style of the chapter you completed).
A statue of an exclamation mark for your hall and a place to store all you books.

Remove forgotten? No thx, good map to beat sh*tways like rspike. Killcount again? It was removed for a reason, no way.Bring back sacred temple and nerf rspike thats enough.

signs are point to pvpe update like fixin hb

Things I would like to see them add to the game:

- 7 heroes
- 2 new realms of the gods
- new skills
- new elite armor and weapon skins

No more tonics and other crap though.

And I want the XHT to work, but we all know none of these will happen.

bring back vod or remove that retarded 28min timer
bring back all maps in ha and keep the fairly new ones
put backbreaker in the strength attribute
nerf woh, life sheath and patient spirit
buff spiritual pain, gogogo!!!!!!(and make w demise 1/4cast again :d)
make incoming back to what it was with when nf was out, lawl(7-8sec -50% dmg QQ)
same for s prison and critical chop(gogo eurospike, gogogogo!)
same for searing flames,GOOOOOOOOOGOOOOOOOO
increase dmg of eviscerate or lower adr cost to 7

and some random pve stuff to change

Storage for books/consumables/event items.
Make books, runes, insignias, inscriptions and mods stackable.
Xunlai Marketplace - or at the very least a mod/inscription trader.
Minion & spirit interface.
Ability to make/purchase max armor festival hats.
7 heroes.
Unused/crappy elite skills buffed.
Overused/imba skills nerfed.
Make pets more useful or just better.
Add more incentive (ie: a LOT more gold) to quests and missions.

Most, if not all of these ideas have been suggested for ages. Let's hope at least some of them make it into the next build.
