It's had to have had things in it they can just pull a trigger, IE: Wintersday, the event after Wintersday, etc.etc.

Gotta love how even if Anet implements something that has no adverse effects at all, people will still find a way to complain and whine.

Huge file = wintersday preperations most likely. I doubt a few bug fixes would result in such a large file size.

So it was a bug. I did wonder, there's no way my machine should have been lagging that badly. Hooray for that fix at least.

Yeah, that seems likely. Might be the snowball fights and some of the other things they are going to reuse.

Same!

And here I was doubting my poor little computer. ^_^

Glad to hear it was something on their end. I'll have to play that mission again, now.

Something else I noticed with this update is that the margonite bosses at the
end of the SS/LB wurm run are no longer random spawns. Usually you have a double up of at least one of them, but I just spent over 3 hours there. Every time each boss spawned once.

Hmm. I farmed all the way up to Lightbringer 8, Sunspear 9 there over the last several months and it has always been 1 of each boss every single time. I know it for a fact because thats how i know when to /resign, cycle through the 3 and kill them, /resign and do it again.

Excellent - I have tried everything to get my frame rate up.

I had thought it was my computer but couldn't figure out why - I average around 30-40FPS at my graphics settings, it dropped to less than 1fps at Palawa Joko (and good luck winning at 3 seconds/frame).

I finally figured out, by accident, that if I rotated the camera into a certain place I got normal FPS, I just had to hope I hadn't lost too much life while trying to rotate the camera - now I can play normally.

Unfortunately that camera angle was looking into the sky and I had to play by just watching the status bars - never got to see what Joko looked like and the cinematic also dropped off to nothing so I missed part of it too.

Best part of the update!

Fug - be gone!
(well it's still pretty darn ugly but sooo much better then it used to be!)

Btw - does the whole Free trial button mean one can still test GWEN?
I don't plan on testing it - and the additional button just fugs the whole screen just a bit too much.

Same here, as soon as I reached the bridge the frame rate would completely bottom out so I'd have to rotate the camera until absolutely none of the background fight / catapults etc were in view, I was okay in the fight with Joko, it was just the run up really. My machine's a bit of a beast and should easily have handled it, glad to find out it was a bug.

Doesn't look like they've fixed the assassin noises on the female npcs though. *sigh

And why should there be? Take a good look at the name of them. "Tournament Tokens". Tokens for a tournament, for the Automated Tournaments, to enter and participate in said tournaments. They aren't "Zaishen Tokens", they're not meant for the Zaishen Chest or Keys. I don't even PvP that much and yet it makes perfect sense to me. Why are you people still whining that you can't use your stacks and stacks and stacks of shiny tokens for something they weren't intended for?

You wasted your Balth faction on a worthless trinket. Get over it.

I'm a little confused as to why people are complaining about this update. They made a pretty pointless update to that button, yes. But I don't see why people can get so upset over such a minor thing.

Oh well, have a nice Wednesday.

I liked the old button. Please change it back.

I guess they're running out of things to nerf.

This isn't new.. have seen it a few times over the past few months. Not sure what triggers it (never bothered to look into it), but it wasn't implemented with the update.

Wow I've been waiting for the button update for MONTHS.

How about you fix something that's actually BROKEN?

Off the top of my head, the guild hall glitch which is starting to become RIDICULOUSLY annoying.
