Apart from the pixelly skill icons and the spirit bond/ss/soj nerfs there's one more thing bugging me at the moment.

If I press space to attack or click once on a monster or npc I sometimes don't move, move a few steps then stop, or move normally, all randomly...

On the other hand: love the skill sets, love the profession changing.

One of my friends is having serious issues with the client crashing all the time also.

Guess trapping UW will be back in. Nothing against the dual farming runs, but I always found it kinda clinical and never enjoyed it.

Someone was asking what runes of attunement were in Vasburg.

This is the only other thing I've heard about runes of attunement. I'm assuming it was an ele rune? Or was it an across all classes rune? Hmm.

Maybe if you look at the times on the posts, that wasnt actually there when I posted as I was typing my reply and with that many ppl online here posting at the same time, some posts do sometimes take around a minute to appear.

Why have some of my characters armors become undyed?

!!!!

Edit: Any dye combination that used dye remover is now replaced with default armor colour...

Yes, I seem to experience this problem too after the update. Good to know I'm not the only one then.

Yeah, good. Bye you.

I don't think Energy Bars on party window should be necessary or on priority list.

Saw one white dye sell for 40k. If you get one, now might be the time to sell. Buy another one for yourself in a week or two when they're cheap.

Am I the only person somewhat annoyed by this?

They introduce titles saying they have no real value, and are just for show. And now, they make some of the titles have advantages.

I have no complain about this however, I would like to know why people with the "Friend of ..." titles don't get this kind of bonus to for Luxon or Kurzick faction.

The 10/20, 10/10 gold staffs I have are now rubbish, as max recharge is now 20% on all spells.

gg A.Net.

Looks like greens and collectors are the only items worth having as they are the only ones that get updated when the max stats change. Ah well more storage space at least.

Can somebody please explain to me why 55's are dead?

a 55 doesn't have to use spiritbond. In fact I don't have it on my skill bar and I have never had an issue 2 man underworlding.

when you cast SS, they scatter after taking a certain amount of damage.
i tried with minatours and they ran after about 3 hits from SS

Thanks for the clarification KiRi... that is majorly uncool, not only from a farming persepctive but from the persepctive of my PvE SS Necro as well

I thought that number was off, so I did some checking. A few hours ago, the website said the base chance was 75% to NOT destroy the item. When you go to salvage, the apparent base chance is 80%, yet now the site says 50%. I'd like to know what the base chances is supposed to be.

Also, a few hours ago the site said that for each rank in Treasure Hunter and Seeker of Wisdom, you would get an additional 1% chance to NOT destroy the item. I guess we just have to let the dust settle, but I'd really like to keep the 75%-1% per title rank deal. I think that's the fairest setup.

Bought a white for 30k, resold for 6 ectos (at 8k each, sold for 48k)

Free money!

I love when new things are introduced into games.

The update notes say the base chance to salvage without destroying the weapon should be 50%; but it seems my actual chance is 80% (and I have no ranks in the related titles).
The update notes contradict themselves as in another place they say the base chance is 75% (which is more reasonable) and that you gain +1% from each of the 5 levels of Wisdom title, which comes to the current 80%.

Yes when you mouse over a skill/spell it pops up that tool tip. you can turn that off.

NOW I wish they would allow us to MOVE the popup to somewhere else instead of just disabling it, oh AND add in a hotkey for us to toggle it on or off at will.

Everything sounds pretty damn good. I'm glad I didn't use those sup monk runes I had to make a 55mo yet; byebye runes!

Elementalists now have even more energy and better spells... sins got another buff up; maybe this will make all classes balanced once and for all.

I do hope they decide to allow insignias to work retroactively... Some of the tyrian armors look pretty good, but their bonuses aren't quite so attractive.

The original text said 75% base and 1% / level of the title (total = 80%). That is WAY better then the current crappy 50% + 3% / level (total = 65%).

They need to make this a decent chance for the casual player not some coin flip.

Oh and salvaging a FDS/IDS is bugged. You don't have the option to extract the hilts like you used to be able to, even though it destroyed the sword. Now you can only salvage material out of them. Very Sad.

Yeah I dumped my extra set i found farming and the price is going down on the runes.

As to Tyrian Armor. Anet needs to go back and re-do all the armor sellers so they are just like in Cantha. Some of the Tyrian armor is great looking but getting stuck with mods you don't want for a specific look sucks!

Holy crap! I checked the price on the sup monk runes and it was 3.7k... I just walked around LA a bit for 15minutes and when I came back it was 2.5k and I had to sell mine immediately!

Question about the update: What is the status of Vengeful Rit farmers? Are we still okay, or have we been shut down too?

Otherwise, this update gave me a mingasm!
