Compared to past updates and changes this update seemed......wanted. I haven't seen any "I hate you Anet I quit" theads.

Anyone else notice how calm people are compared to past updates?

Discuss!

Well the assassin/rit buff was well overdue, and I guess too many people are focussed on what kind of fun tricks they can whip out now to care about the larger changes to popular builds.

Seriously though, good job. I've seen a noticeable drop in junk/spam/flame threads lately. Keep it up!

or maybe as time goes by less people care about guild wars, i know i for one have got bored of gw thanks to factions and only tend to log on to chat to my brother/friends.
admittedly nightfall does look better than factions in a gameplay sense but constant nerfing from anet has put me off buying it, especially since soon after you find a great build for the new classes they will be nerfed like mad because of pvp whining again.

Anet got clever this time. They leaked a proposed update (the one that said Inspiration was gonna be taken to the shed out back and shot) that made everyone mad, so the actual update looked tame by comparison. Don't fall for their psyops! The hate must go on!

I have a complaint, the big update streaming to a zillion people is making the game slow as hell - I usually never lag but these last couple of days it's been bad.

Everyone stopped paying attention to Guild Wars because Factions is so lame so they didn't notice anything to quit over.

the zillion people havent even hit yet.

wait until all the trial account people start downloading for real.

that is why i will probably be reading a book that weekend

on the other hand maybe not as i am right next to the Anet servers (well 10/15 miles +/-)

This time they tricked us. They changed our character's faces so we were all too shocked and distracted by this to really look at our skillbars. Then they promise to fix the faces, and we feel better again.

Really though, I think the lack of complaining is due to the fact that most of the changes were skill buffs. The monk nerfs didn't cause too much trouble because we all saw them coming during the nightfall pvp preview. And the rit lord nerf... well that was long overdue, and it's not exactly the most popular class. At least, it's not gonna cause the discontent that previous nerfs to eles, MMs, and warriors did. I liked playing rit lord, but I finished factions on my rit ages ago so not really a big deal (plus, got a channeling buff to soften the blow )

No because its not worth my time.

I think if you can even see your characters face and care about it you have too much time on your hands.

People have probably already quitted and are absolutely indifferent towards the changes in the recent update...

You know a build is overpowered when it's liberally nerfed and pretty much everyone doesn't complain because they understand it was overused and overpowered (Ritual Lord)

lol, actually I think people stopped complaining because after the first update (Factions), we already know what to expect from this update. There's no surprises here...

I've seen very few whiners in game. Sure, there are a few unhappy players who only knew how to run ONE build, but for the most part these skill changes have really added a lot of fun stuff for existing classes.

Perma 15% move speed increase with Shadow of Haste for teh win!
