Thank god for that ^^

It's been driving me insane in gvg. I don't think i got a single heal party off successfully (and the same for monks' sigs of devotion)

/agree, it is annoying. Didn't feel the same at all in halls last night.

What are you talking about????
Oh wait.... you're a wammo..... gg.... I lost countless amounts of energy trying to cast blessed light while kiting in gvg, same goes for signet of devition, its interrupted so easily. This is a big problem for pvp monks and should be fixed ASAP. Now, you just have to actually stop kiting and cast.

Bleh I was hoping for some word about the camera. Oddly, I've noticed it doesn't always swing the camera when I cast, but most of the time it does. So, I'm hoping this isn't permanent.

Hm. I went tombing with my guild last night and people were constantly bitching about it (monks, for the most part), whereas I only screwed up a spell twice the entire night with this system.

So, doesn't bother me much...

In the "Quick Reference" booklet that came with Nightfall there is a list of the available emotes.

/Voilin is listed.

Im sure they meant /Violin

Just pointing out a simple proofreading error - and wondering what else is missed like this.

I am not down on updates. However my new armor that I dyed red is now orange, which I hate. In addition, when in battle, I keep seeing a square on the left side of my screen with a skill symbol in it, and damage points by it. Sometimes it's a list of them going down the left side. I don't see it consistently. Maybe it's my system? Is it supposed to do this?

I have my copy of nightfall but I'm not nearly as interested in playing it until I figure these changes out. Why did they have to release Nightfall, the Update and the Halloween party at the same time? Space this stuff out guys!

For me, I could never cancel anything with less than a 2 second cast, because I would need to hold a direction for at least 2 seconds to cancel. I'm glad they fixed that, but...

After the update this is no longer true. Now if you are running with the directional keys and start to cast, if you are still holding a key you character will not freeze to cast and you will simply cancel your spell. I wasted a ton of energy acci-canceling MS and troll with this BS. It's really damn annoying having to take my hands off all my directional keys before I cast so that I dont cancel and waste my E.

Now we can't be running and then cast a spell!

How am I supposed to monk now!?

What do you mean "PVP monks"? Oh, does this only affect pvp for some reason? It's not like pvp monks are that much different than pve ones....

Aww, so then I can't cancel my spells still?

But then I can still run and cast!

This for me was the #1 problem with the update. I'll learn to deal with all the changes to gameplay and stuff but this is just annoying when you have to deal with lag too.

hey bro, Im not too sure on the Armor thing, havent tried it much myself.

About the icons on the side of your screen, those will only show up when you are being attacked by an enemy as it is a list of the skills being used on you from the enemy

My armor colours were nerfed as well, but I checked this AM and found they were fixed. After the update last night, I logged on and found my monk had green cloths (neutral brown before), my ele had orange (purple before) and my tank had his silver stripped of his Kurz armour. I logged on with each character, and the colours went back to norm. Try that to see if it works. I know Anet is working on all the issues that came up with the update, including the green item problems.

Noticed it as well and it annoyed me, I just use up all my energy canceling myself while kiting. Glad they're looking into it, I don't mind retraining my timing of using movement keys with skill activation if there's a good reason for the change, but I don't know the reason other than the farming example given earlier in the thread.

Well I'm glad it's not just me (although this really sucks -.-). I was in an SF farm run and was wondering why I kept being interruped. Coupled with the new enemy AI it's REALLY annoying because you can't cast and run from them >_>...

I hope this gets fixed.

I was trying to farm with my invincimentalist in elona's reach for minos and was having A LOT of trouble. Outside of the scattering nerf I noticed that my AOE spells like deep freeze and frozen burst and spells that affected a target and adjacent foes like frozen shards was not working properly, many many many times it only affected ONE person, even the aoe spells!!! Even when the targets were next to each other!

anyone else notice this?

this needs to be addressed immediately x.x

or maybe it did affect them but didnt show the damage, because it only showed damage for one person.

Im in the same situation aswell. My CE is Europe version (American Servers as im in Australia aswell).

Hopefully its not a case of Anet including the standard edition key inside all the CE that were shipped to Australia.

well the code on the back of the card in the bottom right has a CE in it so i believe its the correct card... maybe the uk cards aren't activated for some reason but the US ones are.

Sorry if there is already a topic on this or if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't find one anywhere.

Fire Attunement is now supposed to give back 30% of the skill cost + 1 energy. However, it looks like it is giving 30% of the cost - 1 energy.

So for a 10 energy skill (Fire Attunement is the one I've been trying on), it should give:
.3 * 10 + 1 = 4 energy

but only gives:

.3 * 10 - 1 = 2 energy.

Similarly, it is only giving 4 energy for a 15energy skill and only 7 energy for a 25 energy skill. Should be giving 5.5 and 8.5 (don't remember if its supposed to round up or down).

Anyone else notice this?

Yes, I'm experiencing it as well. Don't really use attunements often, so I didn't notice until now.

Interesting.

Until it's fixed, I suggest you turn to Ether Prodigy. Ether Prodigy pwns attunements anyway...

New feature with the last update?

Ward of Stability doesn't seem to stop all knockdown attempts anymore. The Hydras in the Crystal Desert can still get an occasional knock down/interrupt using the Meteor spell even if I have cast Ward of Stability and am standing in the middle of it. Seems to happen most often when I have aggro'd 2 or more of them. I've also checked to make sure that this bug is happening well after the initial cast and well before the spell expires, so it's not some kind of timing issue.
