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

I was hoping for a nerf to distracting shot.

You also can't ping skills with this update. When you try, it shows up as a blank line.

I somehow doubt there will be a nerf to d-shot, Masoki.
Bug fixes though.

By the way - why is the...ugh, "Illusion" Mesmer, Odurra still labeled as "Illusion" instead of "Domination"?

Slow week despite the many, more important bugs than Cynn's dress? I never even noticed that O_o...

Yeah, pinging skills that target others don't display.

It's a feature!

screenie of the broken UI. I'm attempting to ping natural healing and harrier's haste here. However, you can still ping enchantments and other buffs/debuffs on yourself.

Wow GG on the sarcasm. The comment I made was more refering to the fact that they did not mess with any of the skills. They had been on a roll buffing and debuffing skills lately. Was kind of surprised that they didn't do anymore.

Gotta love how they priortize updates. Cynn's dress > all other actual important armor clipping issues.

Now..to run off and see if my mesmer's hair still clips with a bunch of outfits...Weee..

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Any update is better then no update, even if it is small.
BUT, this update wasn't small. Definately some stealth updates in it.

And I'm sure the skill pinging thing is just a bug, not an intentional feature, and will probablly be fixed by the end of the day.

PS: Can we confirm that pinged skills don't actually display at all, or only for you? Like, maybe you can't see your own skills ping, but your teammates can.

I played some RA today and they were pinging when they were using a skill, and i couldn't see it. It was just a blank space.

Just a comment, since some people her don't seem to have a clue how updates work on a project like this. Various teams work together, each with their own tasks, for example the art team has various tasks assigned to it, such as fixing mesmer hair, finishing off the DaW weapons, etc. As their tasks get completed, they are submitted for test, etc and then rolled out, prioritization has NOTHING to do with it, hell, who knows maybe clipping issues aren't even on the list right now, maybe some kid might have seen something they shouldn't with Cynn's armor and ANet doesn't want a hot coffee issue, who knows.

I'll take an update with a few small bug fixes over nothing, any day of the week.

Maybe they put in the Xunlai Marketplace in a stealth update.

That would entertain me for ages.

Settle down everyone, they didn't take out Cynn's thong. There is no need to be alarmed.

I'm still confused as to what the issue with Cynn was... but yeah, it's good that they got some stuff fixed, even though there apparently is a new bug about.

I can confirm for myself at least. Was out wurm farming (ugh!) and we were trying to call targets/wails etc. All that would display was:

Char name:

no text at all. Except when I was dead. I pinged a target while waiting on rez and the text appeared as normal, weird huh? My whole team was discussing how weird the blank lines were etc so I know we were all seeing the same thing. The target icon does still appear in the party window however.
