By any chance will the Guild Wars design team ever implement something like the "Smart Armor System"?
legacyofkain85
very true indeed i would love a mm panel to see all minions im not interested to see their life only to make trigering them easyer so u can cast death nova or other skills similar so in this way u could realy make minion bombing more acurate like u said it is a real pain to triger the minion especialy when they run around
Makkert
nice touch on the Challenge mission ladder. Nice recognition for PvE players.
MrTickle
Good PvE options for Mesmers?
Are there any left now?

Protector titles were returned to thier origional state, and for this I am very grateful. Thank you for making my prior labor into those titles worth the effort.
Master Ketsu
Hopefully when you say "bow skills for rangers" do you mean finally fixing the ranger attack range glitch ?
In certain areas if you try to use a bow attack skill it wont let you, and your ranger will do the "Fire bow" animation but wont fire anything ( it will let your do a normal attack, but you wont be able to use bow attack skills ) Fixing the glitch when you get stuck in it requires moving around randomly for 5 seconds while your teamates die. Both the factions maps in RA have this problem.
Obstruction glitches are still pretty rampant too...

I hope they fix the new attributes screen soon. They totally messed it up and now when we try and change attributes, the popups hide what you're changing. Soon as your mouse goes up to that section you can't see anything you're doing. Please Anet fix this major design flaw.

I still think that pets in towns should go, really annoying
Spura
As far as mesmers go in pve I don;'t know how well AI handles hexes but backfire and visions of regret damage and shatter hex damage is pretty significant. Especially vs lvl 28 high armor targets that are resistant to clasic nukes.
Shadow Kurd
Hmmm, i missed the pet controls, must be in next update 
Master Ketsu
The popups only hide the attributes above the one your changing. The attribute your changing is directly below the popup...pretty good design, actually.
Corran Horn
It said they were testing pet controls, not that they would be a part of the update. I wouldn't expect to see them any time soon.

Small, normal or even bigger one?
shw.
Am I missing something, or is there no shortcut key for new relog option (Character)?
I usually smack F12+Enter for relog, so it would be rather convinient to add something like F12+C for the new option for people who preffer keyboard over mouse clicks. Plus, it shouldn`t be real hard to implement.
Also, didnt pay much attention to inventory icons, but this morning I had an impression that the numbers/names in party/health/energy bars are little blurred. As if they got a bit of AA effect on them. 6600gt 1024x768, small interface. Not that I mind really

Buffing mesmer in PvE is as easy as removing the double speed skill activation times on bosses... to name just one thing.

And those spells have long recharges for pve...making their uses limited.
Diablo???
Skill interface change much appreciated.
dargon
it's not that smart, I've killed quite a few spell casting mobs with my monk and a backfire.
Skuld
AFAIK they won't ever willingly kill themselves with Backfire or Spoil Victor etc any more, the killing blow probably came from another source.

I have now played since the update and actually like ALL the changes. I have no problem with where the arrows are located for attribute points, i cant see what all the fuss is about.
Good job all around.
If i did have to say anything, it would be to agree that the pop-up of skills over the saved templates names is a little annoying.
Well done ANet

I am glad the whole Hard Mission, Prot of X counting to Koabd Title has been solved. /Phew
Now it would be nice to have the Guardian of X as a seperate Title track unlocked after getting Prot of X, which counts towards Koabd.
I know that most of us would want to do all those missions on hard on that condition, which in return will get people to revisit and croud missions which are empty now.
Personally not gonna bother getting the title if it doesn't count towards Koabd. Rather flash my Koabd, then Guardian title. Just my 2 cents

The planned update with muted sounds in towns and non-muted outside is a nice resolve. Looking forward to hearing Kunna roar again (just not 20 at once
)

Woo!
I just read through one of the latest Gaile Gray chat logs, and in it she says that she hasn't yet got any news on "the improvements to ranger bow skills".
Now, I could be reading way too much into this, but the word used is "improvements", not changes, or modifications :-))
I am quite excited about this now. When I first read about "changes" to ranger bow skills, my first reaction was "Oh no..more nerfs", but now I am looking forward to seeing what these improvements may be!

Hmmm....a pet update. Good timing Anet we've just been asking that since the first beta.
I would impose a 3 man limit on 1 type of class in each party. Anet is going to keep running into balance issues from certain classes if they don't.

I've heard suggestions that different User Interface additions be given to different classes in PVE.
A necromance would have 1 for keeping track and targeting minions in PVE.
A ritualist would have 1 also for their spirits.
Maybe a mesmer can have a PVE window that shows enemies and their warmup bars for skills being used to see the flow of battle easier. Mesmers can make a big difference with that kind of sight!

But in window mode icons are still blurry for me. Any solutions?
Edit: my friend told me that his icons representing armor disappear... hmm...
Also, when u click on ident kit or salvage kit and hover mouse cursor over icons - they seems disappear for a second and then appear again.. weird.
Edit2: Hmm.. blur in window mode maybe was also before, so - nevermind I think

Id make it 4 or 5.

Dark Emissary suggested that some Mantras be tweaked and changed to shouts, or even chants. Mesmers already have stance and enchantment Mantras, but a mantra is defined as a chant and it would be fitting to change some to a chant or shout, allowing it to affect party members within earshot. It would make Inspiration Mesmers very useful to PvE groups and my Mesmer would probably get into Domain of Anguish groups!
I hope some of these suggestions are good ones. I think that the easiest way to give Mesmers better PvE options is to just tweak the inspiration line to offer group support options, but make it only really viable to a primary Mesmer by increasing the tweaked skills' scaling so that it's only effective at high levels. Most people who play a Mesmer only see inspiration as an e-management option for themselves and many choose e-management from their secondary instead!
