Just for a few dye colors you leaving GW.
I feel sorry for you and everyone that thinks the same.

All the great things Anet added in this update and people just point out the bad ones.
Human nature I guess.

Otherwise, this update gave me a mingasm!

Try it yourself, the mobs flee when they reach low health and just stand there.
If you can hold your ground then you should kill them but it takes ages.

Its not AoE nerfs, it AI update, monsters are not fleeing when they are low on health does not matter what skill you use.

Can't find neither of them, maybe you have names?

Absolutely incredible update. I just started my first elementalist a week ago and I just got a wonderful surprise with the update.

The white dye got me drooling a bit, but about 2 seconds after I read that I realized everyone and their grandma will be running around in white dye armor that cost them insane gold for dying each piece.

Still its really cool.

And does anyone know what the heck this ranger expertise update is? I thought it was always a 4% decrease with each rank in expertise.

Expertise: For each rank of Expertise, the Energy cost of all of your attacks, Rituals, touch skills, and Rangers skills are decreased by 4%. Several skills, especially those related to Energy costs and skill recharge times, become more effective with higher Expertise.

The only thing I can think of is that it may not include glyphs or shouts now. What gives with this update?

Overall, this update was a pleasant surprise. GG anet!

EDIT: Oh boy...now I'm reading about the AoE changes. This will definitely change people's tactics and strategies. hmmm....

The no armour change kinda sucks. Sometimes in FA I run as a healer and depending on the situation may switch 1 piece of armour to run as a 55hp to tank. Running two builds was kinda fun but now I'm just stuck in the same old one. How about allowing gloves or boots to be switched, if only at certain spots like base res shrines.

Love the update anyway.

The update says that an insignia can only be put into an armor piece that has an open inscription slot. Nothing is said about removing an insignia so that you can change the armor stats. I thought that was the point but perhaps it is a one time thing so you can just get the skin you want then set it up the way you want one time. If you can switch insignias on the fly then that may be the way around the 'no armor switching' in pvp.

hey, i was wondering if you think they totally screwed guild wars up with all of these updates(some very odd, especially some changes to mesemer skills). in my opinion i like things the way they were in guild wars. never had a problem, and i want it to stay that way. it seems like a net is trying to fix things that dont have any problems, or adding completley pointless fixes...post what you think

It’s easy to get used to something, and hard to adjust to something new.

Good update. This update made PvP characters that much more awesome to have, and easier to use. You can now switch out armors, instead of completely rerolling. I like it completely

Oh, I forgot to mention 1 important thing I love. Pressing Ctrl + left to tell people what skills you are using, saves alot of time for everyone.

This is, by far, the best update ever made to this game. The changes to PvP are nothing short of revolutionary. I, for one, actually enjoy the AI changes. Smarter enemies = more challenge = more fun. The skill balancing was spot on, and a lot of the smaller features are things that have been a long time coming, like dye preview.

Awesome job Anet.

I like how Insignias are limited to Nightfall and PvP. Now the salesmen here don't have to worry about their Crystalline being worthless.

This is the best update that Guild Wars has ever had.
Hopefully the tiny bugs that no doubt popped up get fixed soon.

actually, i've found the AI change has made the enemy much dumber and easier to kill. They stick to the first aggroing player like glue (even when they run off, they run right back to the same player), and the casters just stand around and merrily SS+nuke away.

That made me excited when I read it also. Especially for ritualists when deciding what spirits to take ect.

Henchmen and heroes now kite, stay out of AoE and use combos more effectively? That's really awesome.

The whole update is great. I especially love how PVP characters are now mostly on-par with PVE characters, thanks to getting rid of armor swapping. Also, now I can have Physical/Elemental/Adren Wand on my PVP warriors!

All the "bad" stuff they have changed, I'll get over it and adapt.

I love this game and I'm sticking with it, even if I disagree with the things they've done and gripe about them. :P

Reminds me of diablo 2 1.10 patch. Althought I did stop playing after that, as did many other regular players.
