I like some of the updates that have been implemented. The inscription salvaging is a nice touch. Also being able to save templates of your skills saves you the trouble of having to reskill, just click a couple of buttons and there it is.
The problems I am having are with the changes to AI. SS is junk now. Once it triggers once or twice they run off, kinda defeats the purpose. Also with the changes, 2 man UW runs are gone. 55 runs are non-existent since everything will run when they take damage and stay away until healed.
But what can you say, they give with one hand but take away with the other.

Really? Are you sure about that? Personally, I'm tickled pink about the inscriptions! But I don't see how you can say 'our discussions on inscriptions' did anything. There's no change in what we were told versus what we're now told. There is only additional information. We have no idea what their original intention was, and if it ever changed.
As a side note, it seems to operate similar to how the gems and runes worked in Diablo 2. So you can only use inscriptions on items with an open inscription slot. Now I know it says "in Elona", but do you think (speculation, I know) that maybe they might implement items like this all over Tyria and Cantha, too?
Also, I'm loving the armor insignia thing, and the new item mods: Shield, Wand, and off-hand.
manitoba1073
well first we were told it was 100% guarentted all salavging. but lets not make this a discussion on just that.
also noticed that the damage numbers are bigger, im so so on them. hope theres a way to make the damage pop ups smaller.

Has anyone noticed the new staffs in PvP?
They're for like, fast casting, energy storage and stuff. plus the best thing of all: NEW SKINS!!!
Don't have a screenie yet, but I can remember the names:
Ether Staff, Soul Spiral, Scrying Glass Staff, Voltaic Wand, Crystal Wand (I think we saw this in the PvE preview) and Arcane Staff, though i think there's more.

They nerfed into chest running as well - now not a simple charge / endure pain - nip in - grab loot - sprint out. The improved monster AI means they chase you for way way longer and that fills up many of the gaps that used to be safe to dodge into. Many more deaths involved now.
I don't actually mind the chest randomisation at all - think that is positive even though it makes things harder and consumes more keys.
They also killed "Victory is Mine" which used to be one of my favourite tank self sufficiency skills to help out the party healers. That has put a dent in the ole "Riposte-o-matic" build and pushed the solo warrior from W/Me towards W/N and Grenths Balance.
One thing I really really dislike - those LARGE FONT damage numbers above the head. I have worked out how to kill the monster skill message over to the side, but it looks like those damnable large numbers are here to stay (sigh).

This complaining about farming is old already, LA is full of silly little school children spamming crap in capitals...learn new builds..simple.

I mostly like the Ele's improoved ability to manage eneregy. And glyph of elemental power is now great!
thezed
I love the new update. Hench AI is massivly improved. The new skills (k) window will take some getting used to though.
Tozen
I... have... NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYMORE!!! (gasp)
It's so wrong. A company actually listened to player feedback and masterfully implemented it.
Meh, you think you've won ANet, but I'm going to try REALLY hard now to find something I don't like and post it here!
PS: Ele buffs FTW

I'm not really feeling some of the nerfs they implemented, As far as the interface and everything else goes, its awesome.

I honestly like the updates as well.
I think things will be a lot more balanced than before.
If I saw correctly, green staves got some of their mods stripped. Because of that, you could see some greens going down in price. More people will go towards the new salvage system where you can choose which mod you'd like to try to salvage. On top of that, you have a chance to keep the original weapon/armor that you salvaged the mod from. I extremely like this idea. Now I have a chance to get that +30 mod instead of getting wood planks or iron.
I also like the idea that now that some of the titles actually mean something. With the Treasure title or Wisdom title, your chances of getting something good increase.
For the skills, overall I like the changes. There seemed to be a lot of reduction in reactivation/energy/cast time. I think a lot of the skills got a lot better and now skills that you wouldnt even really consider for PvP, might actually make its way into some builds.
For dyes, I sort of saw white coming but brown is a new change. I think white will be as rare as black and brown will be a pretty common dye. If true, I'd expect a big shoot in price for white and slowly taper off.
I am also glad with the new templates. I have been wanting this FOREVER, and should hopefully cut down on set up times.
In conclusion, I personally think this is the best update so far. Once Nightfall goes live, I'd except some nerfs and some new changes, but hopefully there wont be many.

I like the new update, the dye preview, new salvaging options, templates and new interface is great. Although, I don't like some of the new skill changes. 
But I can adapt and try to come up with new solo builds, so it wasn't a huge hit to the head for me.

Not complaining here...love the update...but I am noticing that my skills don't react the same. Have to hit some twice as the first hit deactivates right away...or when I target using the space bar...it will just stop...and my toon will just stand there...ne1else having this issue?
Tozen
That's just lag I think. You're dling a lot of new files right now... I suspect that the problem will go away in a bit.
Clawdius_Talonious
yeah probably lag, run the game with -image and download all the files you can and the problem should go away theoretically

yeah dude.. this update is SO DOPE. Anet ftw.

I am so happy about it I am giddy to all hell.
The skill changes dont effect me as much (although reducing Concus shot recharge is amazing), but everything we have asked for exists now. The new skill/attributes, dyes, inscriptions, salvaging modifications, and my personal favorite subtle change, the ability to turn off tool tips!
I am so excited to get home from work!

Thanks for the responses. I will do the -image thing and see what I get.
I love the ability I have to actually manage my character now. Saving builds and equipment layouts is amazing and a such needed update. The balth faction adjustments are cool too and actually give more reasons for gaining titles.
White dye!
Oh yes...and the best update ....the cutscenes now have mouth movement!

After looking thru the update I can't see anything negative with the changes. *tips hat* a round of applause to the Devs, now all they have to do is squash the bugs related to the changes.

Has anyone else actually SEEN mouth movement yet? Or is it going to be for NF only?
