Pinging problems seems to appear "only" on english players.

Me & mates from spain, can ping as always but.. if we press the Ctrl key(language change to Eng), there is no text, same as you.

Maybe is a glitch with the english lang ping text from the update

Larger font shows up a bit more... detailed, if I could say so. I noticed a big difference switching from normal interface to larger.

I dl'd about 200 files and we got almost nothing.

Also, yeah, now if you call a skill this is what happens. Let's say Bob The Nubkaek wants to call that he's using Frenzy. In the teamchat, you see:

Bob the Nubkaek:

Instead of...

Bob the Nubkaek: I'm using Frenzy!

I assume it's a bug, if they wanted to remove skill pinging they wouldn't make the character say a blank line of text.

They removed that? NOOOOOOOOO!!!

UPDATE: No that's not the error they fixed, it's still there. But seriously, I don't recall any error with her dress, anyone else?

So the most noticed part of this update is a bug it brought, though three out of four updates were bug fixes? Ironic.

Does Cynn wear a dress?

Extra files in update are for the upcoming addition to the game, similiar to Sorrows Furnace.

Keep those rumors coming.

Would have to /ragequit if they nerf Cynn's thong!! j/k

Seriously, though, anyone know what they fixed with her dress? I never noticed anything wrong with it?

And that did seem like an awful large update for such few changes...

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that caused blank text to appear when skills are called out (control-clicked).
* Closed an exploit that allowed players with a modified client to travel directly to explorable areas.

They fixed the calling bug, the other fix is just weird

Checked both Prophecies and EotN versions of Cynn in various places, she's fine. Calm down people, really.

Lol. Never would have thought to check that. Granted, it is a literally conversion from English (just using a code to replace certain phenotic strings with different letters), so it isn't too surprising.

I'm glad they fixed it though. I know Spanish, but not well enough to know technical GW words and spanish skill names.

Maybe they rotate their staff's GW1 time. So like every staff member has to spend 99% of their time on GW2 and 1% on GW1, and the turn of the Cynn's dress maker came up.

Great nerf to target pinging!

Editing the texture and using that with TexMod crashed my game a while ago. So maybe that was that.

[QUOTE=raven214]Seriously, though, anyone know what they fixed with her dress? I never noticed anything wrong with it?[QUOTE]

Well, thats because obviously too many were busy looking under her dress to see what was wrong on the outside

And to all of you who are saying this is a small update just so that a NPC gets a new wardrobe... have you guys ever seen some girls/wommens wardrobes.... theres nothing minor about them. Some are pretty epic (I wore that dress once last year... I cant be seen wearing it again)

But yea, the skill calling bug was relatively minor... but still annoying.

Since it has been fixed what was the exploit all about. I always hear about this crap after the fact.

I can not confirm if they have removed Cynn's thong. However maybe Mehnlo would know.

You have to reboot texmod after every game update. Ie, close GW, close texmod. Open GW without texmod. Get the new update, then close GW and restart it again with texmod.

It is because texmod tries to run GW version 1000, and when you get the update page it starts installing version 1001, and screws it up. It has always been like that.
