Metoo. Metoo.

The Invincimonk Killer update. Yea they've poked it with sticks but if they did something drastic that made the build imossible to make at all (i.e. removing\replacing a skill entirely or preventing the health reduction from runes from surpassing a certain percentage of your original max) This would deliver the finishing blow to farming. Sadly it's inevitable. Especially if pvp finds some way to make it even remotely effective. Though that'd be quite a feat.

Worst update ever (which I don't have to worry about at ALL because I know Anet wouldn't do it) is this:

Meteor Shower - same stats but a recharge of 5 seconds.

Please don't go naming skills...I'm just stating this would be the worst update.

The Worst Update would be:

EA Games has Taken over Anet and added the following changes:

#Crash bugs repaired to make games crash more often and with more terminal Effects.
#Game Engine upgraded to use ONLY Windows Vista 64Bit Professional Edition.
#Sound effects upgraded to allow all players throughout the server being able to see and hear any Map Pings no matter where abouts they are.
#Chat upgrades have made all chat Work on the same Chat channel, Chat channel can no longer be turned off and is auto maximized to cover the whole screen. Chat is now universal and ALL chat can be seen no matter where you are.
#Preparations made for the next expansion all Guild Halls removed from the game and are now only available in the expansion pack~- Guild Wars: Guilds

Hmm, well without taking the time to actually read 9 pages of ideas (I read the 5 above me), I have a different take on the question.

To me the absolute worst update would be the one that prevents me from playing it on my computer. I'm on a limited budget and while I have a decent computer, I certainly don't have anywhere near the latest and greatest.

The worst update for me would be:
NEW!! IMPROVED GRAPHICS AND SOUND!!! Now immerse yourself in a complete virtual world.
- Dragons so realistic you'll actually feel their flames!
- New photo realistic options for hair and faces. Choose from over 100 different faces and hairstyles for each character.
- Improved landscapes. Better grab a coat before heading into the Shiverpeaks! You'll believe you are really in a snow filled landscape.

Minimum System Requirements:
• 3 gigabytes (GB) of RAM or higher recommended (2 GB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)
• 5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space
• Super VGA (1024 X 768) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor
• 1 GB of Video RAM recommended (512 MB of Video RAM minimum)
• CD-ROM or DVD drive

As far as I know, the worst updates are already in the game.

Anyway, I can "try"

Update - Tuesday March 6
  • All enemies in game are now touch rangers.
  • From today when you die with a PvE character, that will be a perma die and you must start again. (It's not fair that Togo was the only one that didn't resurrected in a resurrection shrine)

Rather retarted list, meh tired .

* Removed all melee weapons and replaced them with machine-guns, rocket launchers, grenades and BFG 9000. Enabled jumping for crazy nade-jumps.
* Every instanced zone is shared with everyone also every place is FFA PvP.
* Enabled Ninja-looting -.- (even NPC heroes/henchies can ninja-loot!)
* Deaths return you to towns, not always necessary the closest one or even in the same continent.
* Heroes can disband or kick players out from their group.

okay im done.. sorry all heh.

6v6 HA and new mechanics with kill count, AB (Glorified PvE) style caps

Friday, March 9th:

Fixed a bug that was causing America to win the Hall of Heroes
Fixed a bug that was causing Korea to win the Hall of Heroes
Fixed a bug that was causing Taiwan to win the Hall of Heroes
Fixed a bug that was causing Japan to win the Hall of Heroes
Fixed a bug that was causing Europe to lose the Hall of Heroes

Implemented a new feature: the territory with favor has a 99.9% chance of having Req 8 15^50 Crystalline swords drop from every monster possible. Even in pre. It would be a 100% chance, but we think that would throw the economy out of balance.

The interface has now been set to 1337-speak and cannot be changed.

* we decided to put a new hidden npc in explorable areas, this npc is called the green elf, wen a gold or green item drops for people in explorable areas, the little elf will come out of nowhere and steal the drops.
* added a new skill called Echmendfrenhealsig when you use this skill your character runs to a nearby mob gets knocked down, loose 1000 health and say "r3zZ joO |\|0085" and gets disconnected.
* you can now press b+4+1 and receive a special item called M4a1 with 100 bullets.
* if you are drunk in a town and get caught by the guards, you are banned and loose all your items.
* to remove the runner problems we have put a Train from Beacons Perch to Droknar forge, to get a ticket you pay 20 gold.

But to get back on the topic:

ANY update WITHOUT the words:
-Stoneflesh now lasts 3...5 seconds, reduces 2-6 dmg, doesnt stop critical hits and costs 25 energy.
(eles are meant to CAUSE lots of dmg and not to be invulnerable to it)

Guild Wars 2: World of Warcrafting is announced and Guild Wars servers are shut down thereafter with mediocre updates leading up to this event.

Made RA swarm with assassins so that you basically have to go anti melee to have any hope of survival. hmm....

Updated monks: Divine favor now gives you 1 strike of adrenaline for each rank in it everytime you use a skill.

Mo/W and Mo/P class combinations are now restricted.

Soul Reaping Updated: For each creature that dies while within 5 radar lengths from you, you gain 8 energy for each rank in this attribute.

Deleted the ability to create a primary class Mesmer from the game. (I would seriously cry)

Updated Backfire: If foe moves, uses a skill, or breathes, you steal 700 life. This hex cannot be removed and if the attempt is made, target foe is deleted. This skill requires 3 fast casting or greater to work.

Added a new skill for assassins: Armageddon. All foes in the district are destroyed and you automatically acquire anything worth more then 30k from them.
