Not too bad, buffed my mesmers Domination build I was going to start using

Bit bleh on my packhunter though, reducing GftE. Ah well, she'll live, I'll find her another way to get points. Do slightly wish I hadn't done grinding for 2 different sets of armour before this point, but oh well. Better than nothing

Oh can someone fix the date it read as if it were December 10,2007 not October 12,2007 which would 10/12/07.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I think that's the American way of denoting dates. At the Eastern side of the pond we tend to use DD/MM/YY, which confused me a lot until someone pointed it out to me in Busch Gardens.

Is this your first Anet update?

They have a habit of breaking one thing while patching another. I wouldn't be surprised if all these changes to EOTN reputation points caused monsters in The Falls to suddenly stop dropping items.

Or you could do it the skillful way by not dying. That's how many games work, when you die, it's game over.

I like pretty much everything here but the paragon "nerfs," which I sincerely don't understand. Presumably they're still overpowered in PvP? Could we get some buffs to the PvE end then? It's becoming exceedingly difficult to make a decent PvE paragon build it seems.

My rit turned in his book a few weeks ago, he was able to buy the 11 pages again for another full handbook

So i guess it's kind of retroactive.

Same here - was planning to use the weekend to get that level 5 vanguard. Bought the pages for the missions I had already turned another book in for, turned in the new book - bam! 20,000 points in 5 minutes. Now what am I going to do for the weekend?

Guess I work the snowman cave to get dwarven title maxed.

Now offically dead right? I wouldn't say so, two core skills got nerfed big time, gfte is junk now but AR could still have its usses, perhaps its just time for somthing diffrent ^^. Mabay we will see more paragons for their intended purposes as party support and then mabay some of those really really really crappy skills they have can get (re)buffed =D.

Well...I turned in a complete book a few weeks ago. Got myself a new one today, paid 1,100 gold to fill up the pages, and turned in a complete book for 4k. This is not something that's repeatable, since I now actually have to complete all the missions again, but I certainly wouldn't feel sorry for people who already turned in a book.

Due to a error in the last update, we must lock all GW:EN primary quests for a short period. We believe that this problem will be rectified within approximately one hour. Sorry for the trouble!

Weird...I was able to get credit for the hero's hand book twice. Not sure if it's a exploit or not should I report it? I had a filled handbook, I handed it to the vaungaurd guy, asked for a new one, was going to grab a hardmode one and saw for 1.1k I could fill the missing pages in, and I got a full book and was able to hand it in a second time *But only a second time*

Yea i rekon it is this way so as not to annoy those who handed it in for a measly 2500 points (like me =D) more fair this way i guess.

Is this having to do with being able to buy another 11 pages if we already turned one it before?

Good.

Maybe a.net will add an extra level to the title (like they did when people maxed SS before they thought it was possible).

So it's officially an exploitation.

The handbook if everyone gets might be a exploit, but I'm wondering if you just got credit if you did every quest twice. I did them with a friend who was going through first time after I did it already.
