Just some pointless stuff, no Soul Reaping or Pet revert. :'-( Told Izzy in-game he needs to nerf Fire ele's, said he's looking forward to. ^^


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guild Wars In-Game Store Updates

* Added In-Game Store support for both the Holiday and the Unlock Pack promotions. For more information on the promotions and the new Unlock Packs, please visit the In-Game Store or the Guild Wars website.

Imperial Herald

* The Imperial Herald located in the Great Temple of Balthazar has been updated with new announcements about the Xunlai House, the Unlock Pack promotion, the $100,000 Tournament series, new Guild Wars merchandise, and the Wintersday contest.

Bug fixes

* Fixed a bug on the second level of the Bloodstone Caves dungeon that caused a large group of bats to spawn on top of a resurrection shrine.
* Updated Confessor Dorian’s model to correct some graphical errors.
* Fixed a bug that allowed Glyph of Swiftness to give its 25% recharge bonus to more than 3 spells; fixed a bug that prevented some projectiles from receiving their proper speed bonus.
* Fixed a bug with the Asuran Scan skill that prevented some damage types from being properly multiplied.
* Fixed a bug that prevented some visual effects from the Healing Springs skill from matching the in-game effect.

Miscellaneous

* The Xunlai Tournament House NPC now has rewards for the October Tournament.
* Reduced the healing attributes of Forgotten Priests in the Thirsty River to compensate for the increased effectiveness of their Word of Healing skill.

Well... judging from the last update thread... this thing will be full of offtopic ranting and 30 pages long in a matter of hours.

I got 50, but I have no idea how many I should have gotten according to the rules.

Basically just picked guilds/players at random, since I don't pay attention to that stuff.

Calling a condition shows, "I am suffering from the <blank> condition!" Wasn't it "I have <blank> on me"?

Edit: Also "I am enchanted with <blank>!"

Haven't gotten a hex, though.

I don't think there is a need to make new thread on Guru for EVERY new update...Oh, wait, aside from updates there isn't really much to talk about since there allready is thread for every single little thing about GW.

Nobody's mentioned the pvp access kit?

Looks like you can get a pvp-only account for $20 (or did I misunderstand?). I won't be using it since I've got an account, but that's really cool.

I don't think it's a completely pointless update. when I did -image I downloaded like 1500 files, and they weren't all ditzy small files either. I'm pretty sure I just downloaded half if not more of the bonus mission pack so that means mission bonus pack is due in a few days.

Quote:

I bet this has something to do with the bonus mission packs, since one of them takes place in the White Mantle storyline. Even if it's not Confessor Dorian in the white mantle mission, there's probably some other Confessor sharing most of his polys and skins in the white mantle pack.

1530+ files? What didn't they mention in the update notes?
EDIT: Why is the thread called "soft update?" Seems like a normal update to me, just because it doesn't contain skill changes doesn't mean its any less of an update.

Seconded. You'd think they would have learned to pay more attention to players' looks rather than NPCs; after GW:EN Hero Armors ended up looking much better than the players' armors; and the complaining from the community that occurred afterwards. Looks like again they are putting NPCs over their own players models.

I'm not getting any reward points from the Xunlai guy, where I should be getting 75. And this time I actually have a use for those Balthazar flames.

WTF is the point of UAXing for 25$? Then why play the game? Faction is pointless then. Wow I feel stupid for having UAXed everything the hard way...

I have every item unlock and skill except the EotN ones, so the packs are completely useless to me. I got to this point without actually trying though, it just happened because I like to PvP from time to time.

But wow, if you're new to the game and you want to get into some PvP action right away.. pay $45 and you're set.

God send for me. Spent countless hours Faction farming to fully unlock one account, fearing I'd have to do the same for another, because I wasnt going to pay $40/ea to unlock each campaign's skills.

Now you can get ALL skills from ALL campaigns for ~$25. Sounds good to me.

No one but you will know that you are UAX unless you blabber on here to people who you are likely to never meet in game or post the pictures in that forum for people to see that you will never meet. Personally, I am working on UAX, need to finish getting assassin/ritualist/dervish skills and a few runes. No one will know when I complete it, but I think that it is something fun to do when I get bored of the pve.
