Certain situations that caused players to get stuck and not be able to move have been fixed, and a new command “/stuck” has been introduced to help players free their characters if they become stuck.

Anyone know how big this update is? I only ask because on the log-in screen it's up to 100MB+ in 4 minutes, is it similar in size to the previous ones 400-500MB?

EDIT: Ignore, it finished downloading as I was typing this.

* The Materials Storage panel, which was previously a feature of Guild Wars Factions, is now available to all players.

No more whining from Tyria-only people about storage!

edit: uh-oh... spirit bond = nerfed...

Zealot's Fire: decreased casting time to .25 seconds, decreased recharge time to 30 seconds. You now lose 1 Energy whenever this skill triggers.

The Treasure Hunter and Seeker of Wisdom titles now confer a benefit to players who earn them. For each rank of either title earned, the chance of an item not being destroyed when salvaging a magical upgrade component is increased by 1 percent from a base of 75 percent.

Freaking AWESOME. :] Now I have a 80% instead of 75%. XD

I'm even more happy they raised the faction cap too! (lol E-drain got nerfed again)

Edit:

Victory is Mine: this skill is now a targeted Shout that returns 3..7 Energy per Condition. <--- bye bye VIMway

Basically, they just nerfed the last remaining old-school Denravi bows and axes, so the +25 health axes and the +10 armor bows are no longer available. Anywhere.

I got about halfway through the update list and became overwhelmed with goodness. I had to walk away for a minute. lmao
I'm going to reread it because it was too much to take in all at once.


The staff issue needs to be fixed right away.

And now Brohn's staff is this:

Energy +10
Fire Damage 11-22 (req. 9 Divine Favor)
Halves casting time of Healing Prayers spells (Chance: 20%)
Reduces Bleeding duration on you by 20%


Instead of this:

Energy +10
Fire Damage 11-22 (req. 9 Divine Favor)
Halves casting time of Healing Prayers spells (Chance: 20%)
Health +30
Health +30
Reduces Bleeding duration on you by 20%

So basically, all greens have no more hp mods on them?

Way to f up the system Anet!!!!!

It obviously wasn't intentional. And Gaile has already said it will be fixed. You just need to calm down a bit.

Maybe you should read what's already been said and not completely overreact. GG?

That aside, I have unlocked Olias on my Warrior. Anybody else found any other hero unlock quests yet?

Ah inscriptions do seem nice though. Get rares skined weapons (in Elona) with perfect stats for a low cost (hopefully) or not... lol if i get the rare skin/mod.

Anet, this update (not even considering Nightfall) is great.

I've been blown away. I also love the concept with Armor Inscriptions, no more multi-sets of armor and giving material storage to all now.

(And info about the glitch with the greens that are being fixed).

Anet, You more then have me with an Chapter 4 CE pre-order.

Seems like restricting insignias and inscriptions to Elonian weapons and armor kind of defeats the purpose of the damn things...

though I'm glad we get the secondary-swapping skill screen back, and better henchie AI...

The new weapon and armor creator is pretty cool too, actually...

I love the update but they nerfed the prevalent forms of farming (55/SS, SoJ, Spirit Bond got a minor nerf but it's bad enough to prevent any real use, Silver Armor). Oh well, maybe they'll make it so everything is dirt cheap now?

You are now able to obtain the campaign-exclusive Heroes, even if you don't have Nightfall.

Gain Olias is in Lion's Arch by the Docks, Gain Zenmai is in Kaineng Center near the Benjunkian Pier.
