For those who are talking about farming i'm sure, all those 'farming locations' like trolls and stuff now have strip enchanters. and modified mobs that will make it almost impossible to solo

You know what would be a funny bug. Is if some of the Hard Mode features get mixed up with the normal mode features. All of a sudden you’re in normal mode and see an lvl 33 Charr come out of nowhere.

I just hit a revelation.
In "a matter of hours" means the time can range anywhere from one hour to as many hours as you can go before time is measured by days.
Aka, it can range from one hour to 23 hours. :s

This is wonderful. They'll probably put it up at like 1AM EDT or something.

Seeing how I have school tomorrow (my district has to be the WORST at placement of spring break), I guess I'll miss out on the first 12 hours. Blah.
Maybe something magical will happen?
super strokey

I'd really like some feedback from Anet at this point, just an estimate would be good.

Did you guys check out all the info on this page? Perhaps this was discussed previously, but this page has alot of the questions everyone has been asking about.
Existing Title Changes
The Skill Hunter title track has been divided into individual title tracks for each campaign.
You can now obtain the title Legendary Skill Hunter. This title track can be earned by gaining the Skill Hunter title across all campaigns.
You can now obtain the title Legendary Cartographer. This title can be earned by full exploring all of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona.
The final rank of the Sunspear title track now requires 50,000 Sunspear promotion points.
Miscellaneous
The price of keys that previously cost 1,500 gold have been reduced to 1,250 gold.
The first-person camera has been adjusted to allow players to more easily play in first-person mode. Scrolling with the mouse wheel still allows you to leave first-person mode, however, you must now scroll a little more than before.
Loot now scales according to party size.
Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot.
Made preparations for the Double Sunspear Points and Double Lightbringer Points weekend event.
Removed the Wintersday 2006 Championship Trophy.
Added the Celestial Tournament 2007 Championship Trophy.
The Xunlai Tournament House NPC has returned to the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion’s Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan to reward players with their Celestial Tournament prizes.
And more of course, just go to the link!

Like I said, they're on A-net time. I figured they wouldn't release the update until LATE in the evening. Why? Least amount of stress possible on their servers when you got hundreds (tens?) of thousands of players on during the day. At night time, they can release a huge patch without worrying about server stress.
However, I still think it's bullshit that they release it 3 AM EST. That's not too late for the West Coast but it is for the East! Boo! Heheheh.

I'm such a nerd. I'm making my mum wake me up early tomorrow so I can play before I leave for the weekend. (Assuming it is up in the morning O_O)

"Loot now scales accoring to party size"? What's that mean? If it means like the amount of money depends on the number of players...Then couldn't less players = less gold dropped??

I'm sure you can connect the dots, it is the most logical situation.
