On topic:
I hope that it has new content! Like new armour sets... I'm still gagging for this armour, which is worn by Lady Althea and Erudine (have been since pre searing lol):
Or maybe a bit of this for the eles? Worn by Azure:
What I would love is Evennia's armour for my monk:
As for new areas? How about the catacoumbs, or Wizard's Folly? New skills, well, introduce the unincluded ones! Lightning Storm ftw!
Of course I'm getting way ahead of myself. For all we know it's a mild skill shuffle, like we've seen a hundred times already.

Yeah they could open as it has been mentioned the Catacombs best dungeon in the game imho .Quests that take you on different paths like staying with the King and taking the fight to the charr to free Rin and all the way to Drasir.
Make up some more arenas in pve areas with 4v4,6v6 and 8v8 make them a little bigger than than those in RA.

To comply with new MasterCard security requirements, we will no longer be able to accept Maestro as a payment method in the Guild Wars In-Game Store. This change will occur on Thursday, August 7 after the live update. Please note that these changes will only impact UK players, and will only affect purchases made in the In-Game Store. The Maestro payment option is still available through the PlayNC Store to purchase all Guild Wars campaigns, the Bonus Mission Pack, and the PvP Access Kit. |

It is like that! They are testing and giving feedback to the changes. If you think that gives them some advantage then I kinda have to laugh at you a bit, because the players who get in for these kind of things can come up with the relevant builds in less than a week generally...knowing the new skill changes or not.

now the monster update lost alot of its size

Wonder if these elite skill changes are PvE only or not.
And I would still love a global PvE buff to binding ritual builds...

The benefits it gives are greatly worth it.

Its more about the principles of having the most balanced/fair competition possible, than it actually enabling a team to win a competition they would otherwise lose.

I get what you are saying, but this is a great way to help insure a more balanced and fair environment by making the skill balances as good as they can be.

As long as the skill changes are all there I'll be happy - HoM is useless.....unless you're the bragging type.

One thing about the skill update... I hope they dont just target a few professions, rather enhance ineffective skills equally from all professions. If not, this update will pretty much mean nothing to me.

I am looking forward to the update, though things are gonna get crazy on the forums, O-well that is nature of the beast.
As for Ursan, I guess I've always understood both sides, hell I've had a main char, Ranger and Mes in DOA with no chance of getting into a pug. At the time I had no guild to play in the area as well. I can also see how ursan was the great eqalizer, (as long as you were willing to max the title) so that pugs were so easy to run they became very viable and thus had a high sucess rate.
Yet I've seen how Ursan has effected the entire community, the apathy that it has the potential to create destroys some of the best parts of pve. While at the same time Ursan can make people less inclined to jump into PvP from PvE, as it was intended to do. (I know 3 years is a little late but still... and we now have PvE and PvP skill...)
However, I have come to the conclusion that the reason I created a ranger was to... Doh... play a ranger and the same goes for the Mesmer, Warrior, Sin, and other pve professions I have. I enjoy the individual aspects of those professions. This is one of the reasons I enjoy AB, relaxed, (though at time immature) fun PvP that I, whenever I fell like, change professions just to experience somthing new.
So, all of you who still do not wish to see Ursan nerfed ask yourself, "why did I create my______?" fill in the blank. It is time to see Ursan go.
Now that that is out of the way it is also time to send Ursan off with a bang!

RIP Ursan! (at least I hope!)

Guess time will tell.
After seeing more and more requests for Ursans outside of elite areas for Vanqs and HM in general I'm still generally optimistic it will be changed although I gave up on false expectations years ago.

The monster update is going to be something about changing the skills of the spectres in the underworld =P

Are you positive that this "monster" update is on Thursday ? Because it's Thursday here in Serbia ( around 6am though) and there are no updates.
I hope with ever fiber of my being that you are right on the bolded ones.
Also lol if they make HM harder just by increasing the numbers.
