At least everyone was knocked out of this AT. If it was a smaller update half the people may have made it back in time while others because of slower connection or a longer previous game would have forfeited because of Anets bad timing

You say that as if I care

In all seriousness, asian countries usually get favor when europe/america is sleeping... by multiplying the asian territory by 3, they should enjoy favor even longer

I want them to give us back our English Districts. Changing the name has just made it so that more people who don't speak the same language sit around and spam, while English only speakers are stuck without a place to go and speak purely English.

I really don't want to keep going into the only districts I can, only to find it full of people speaking dutch or something. They can't have possibly thought that removing the English district was a good idea.

Wow...terrible update. You are forced to sell 1 item at a time now and just sit there until someone buys it which can sometimes take hours for high end items. Everytime you post a new item, party window posting changes. Don't look at party window too long as the constant changes will trigger an epileptic attack. Then when you post say 2 items, and not even close together, you get the excessive posting thing. Thank goodness I have multiple accounts and computers, I will just post several toons at the same time. I feel sorry for all the other people who enjoy buying and selling stuff because this is not going to make you happy. Buyers are going to see less choices, sellers are going to be restricted to 1 item at a time. Another crack-head update in my opinion.

The idea of advertising in the Party Search window is great, but really,
'Party Sarch - WTS xx' I mean what the heck is the connection between selling something and looking for a party. Not to mention how lame it is that there's 'Party Sarch' before every sentence in Trade channel. Something must be done against the spam, but to be honest this makes me even more dizzy.

</criticism>

Looks to me like another attempt at using GW as a beta test ground for things they might use in GW2....

Is anyone else windows moved and seem larger? I'm getting worried and annoyed by this, especially since no one else seems to be experiencing this.

Ex: All my windows have been moved

(I opened up friends list, it was moved over, i opened up "u map" it was moved to the center of the screen? and more, all of my windows have been moved)

I really hate not being given the choice between having your party formation shrink on you or being able to make it any size you wanted. At least the old way, you could customise it how you wanted.

Dear Anet can you please not have updates that require players to restart the client during Automated Tournaments. This update on 17th July caused everyone to forfeit the last two matches. If this had been a smaller update it would have caused only some players to have forfeited depending on the connection speed and the time left between games. This would give an unfair advantage/disadvantage to certain players because of poor timing by Anet. This is not the first time that an update has taken affect during an AT, would waiting 20 mins make that much of a difference?


If this is posted in the wrong place can a mod pm me where to post it rather than just deleting it.

/signed for changing "Common" back to "English". Or make an "English" area, either will do me. It was, in my opinion, a pointless change. I exploded in Guild Chat when I saw my new labelling as "Common"....

Besides that, is it me or is the sky on the log in screen darker blue?

Thanks! My warrior (or any character for that matter) no longer has any legs, and is some how still attached to the ground by a diagonal black streak...

The Kraken look nice though, pretty ghostly...(though when I was farming Luxon Assassins on a bridge, their "flesh" extended down below covering half the screen >_<)

Didn't take that long to load though, maybe 5-10 minutes.

OMG!!! This is really, really bad... Ok, now I have just had the most frustrating 10 minutes of my life. This shows how the GW people come up with some hairbrained idea and don't think it out.

Have fun with selling an item...

I posted an item WTS (fill in blank for an item) R9 100k+65e

Ok... it automatically sticks it up in party window and cuts it off at:
WTS (fill in blank for an item) R9 100k

I then have literally 35 people pming me, opening trade with me, harassing me, saying I posted 100k for the item and I have to sell it, etc.... because it looks like I am selling one of the most desireable items in the game for a fraction of the going price...

I never posted in party, the update puts it up there for you, cuts it off and suffer the consequences... Try it, you will love the hate mail you are about to receive.... Oh.. and I kept the name as SHORT AS POSSIBLE.... holy cow... these people are stupid.

Worst update of the last 12 months...

Overall decent update, but big failure for the party search.

They need to remove the "party search" every time you use chat, and EXPAND THE DAMN TEXT LIMIT FOR PARTY SEARCH!

That is the major reason why most have not been using it.

They also need to make the party window resize optional. Why do they never make these things optional to begin with? They should know by now it's a bad idea not to do so.

Is the whole of GWEN downloaded by doing -image?
7% = 50MB so thats what 714MB of data in 100%
GW:EN areas can be seen is cool shame they can't be reached

EDIT Went to 8% at exactly 81.5MB meaning 100% = 1,018.75 MB NEARLY A GIGABYTE

All are 3 listed on the screen, but british pounds are still the only option for me when I get to the checkout =(

I was complaining about how the size of the map (with the add on of the northern areas) got incresced in length but not in width and how annoying it was to look athat black space when I noticed a smaller area of black right under DÁlessio Seaboard.

So ofcurse me and someone else immediatly went to check it out. On the mni map and on the compass it showed up as a black rectangle but it didn't change any of the graphics anywhere else. Dissapointing really...we wanted to fall of the map

Anyone else got it?

I'm having this problem. All of my windows appear in the top right hand corner, tried rearranging them but it just doesn't look right.

The Party search panel sucks at this point, we need more space to type our stuff, also when someone spams WTS in the local chat you see party search - item - in local chat as well, which prettymuch means the Trade channel changes are pretty useless now.

Seriously remove the Party search from the chat window and allow us more text characters in the party search, the only reason i really like the panel is because i can easily browse trough it, looking for items without having to scroll through the normal chat, or read super fast to catch an item i would like.

The map is AWESOME, just plain awesome, though for comparing to a 100% map it is a bit trickyer to see the places you still need to hug, but im sure most people will manage, I have 100% so that hasnt changed and i also still have the legendary cartographer title.

The party window update isnt bad, but i would prefer ajusting the size of it vertically, other than that its fine.

Also i havent got any issues regarding my interface, bad graphics or serious lag, and as far as DOA goes, i merely do a gloom farming build once or twice in a week so that hasnt affected me at all.

Cheers

This better not be a download of GWEN. Considering that I'd have bought GWEN and installed it off CD/DVD (in half the time), I don't see why I should be wasting my time downloading it now. Unless there's a GWEN preview event coming up. Please

Cause otherwise, not sure why the download is that size, not like they introduced any new areas like SF or something, just tweaked some things. Course, they could be preloading those bonus mission packs...

And after everything they've changed, I still don't know why they haven't increased the length allowed for text in the party window...

prob said but
error 7 when trying to visit AM districts from EU
new party window sucks imo i hate not having control over the size of it havent played pvp yet so will see what its like then.
WTS party search thing is ugly am guessing makes trade spam even more unbearable


There is a new option to auto-target npc's and items as opposed to just having auto target on or off (unless was in a previous update but didnt see it mentioned on wiki so figured today)
What does the new texture option actually do i havent really noticed much different either way.

I like the change to the Party Search, but A-Net really, really, really should've changed the number of characters allowed before implementing this type of change.

I'm going to wait for the dust to settle before I venture into Dist 1 of the major trading towns. Time to visit Ventari's Sell and the Auction part of this forum...
