Okay, about the impending update(s) to the system...

Anywhere we can see a list of changes/updates/improvements?

You know, like when a new version of some software comes out, they give a list of fixes, blah blah...

Thanks,

Officially, you can check out here. You can also check out the official Wiki here (for the same thing), and/or here for the Developer Updates. Obviously, on both pages the latest one is on top.

So why do so many claim ursan will be nerfed in this update? I've not seen nor heard anything official about it. Wishful thinking or reality?

This is GWGuru, who needs confirmation? Everyone demands it be done there way only and damn the rest of you or reality for that matter.....in other words, no, no official decree of anything from anyone to my knowledge.

No, it hasn't been confirmed. It's all speculation.

The next major update was promised "as soon as next month."

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Arena...-_10_July_2008

That means any time in August. Looks like it's a PvE update, and Ursan is indeed under testing for a change. Whether or not that update will change Ursan is not specified.

If it comes tomorrow I'd very surprised.

Pleasantly surprised, but surprised.

Knowing ANet, it's not coming until August 14

I haven't heard anything. Considering Regina got a cut hand and couldn't test Ursan last week, it is pretty doubtful unless if Anet only needs a week to test all the new changes.

Although we are not making major PvE-related balance changes this time, we are working on a larger PvE-focused update.

Quote:

We are currently testing changes to Ursan Blessing and PvE-only skills. One of the goals is to balance Ursan such that players can still use it as long as they do so in a tactical way. Another goal is to alter the grind currently associated with many PvE-only skills.

Additionally, we are adjusting a number of underpowered and rarely used elite skills. Depending on how testing goes, some or all of these changes may be released as soon as next month.

Reading Comprehension - I thought they started teaching that in grade school. That sentence could not be more ambiguous.

Just go about your life, and someday the update will arrive. I'm not knocking the ANet developers, the testing is time consuming, and some of the changes have to be made at the same time.

Knowing my luck, I'll have a DOA Ursan party all set up and get the "there is a new build of guild wars please exit..."
