Actually ANet does overhype things, but anyway, this has been a bit overhyped by some people, but who gives a shit?

Anyway...

I just hope some of the ridiculous PvE skills get nerfed <_<

And the HoM update ofcourse.

And some underpowered elite skills get buffed... Although this is where they'll probably RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up...

AJD, if it really takes you so long to set up a build that it affects your life you really should not be playing. Seriously, the maximum I've spent working on a basic build to use on an area is about one minute. You may have created alot of builds in your time, but if you can't be arsed putting aside one single minute aside for using a random build what I said earlier stands as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, judging from the OP's quote it would be quite an interesting change. I really do hope this month of waiting pays off.

And another argument to List of Dumb Arguments under ,,Dont like dont use'' - Don't like, you paid, play something else. I paid for the game and I can expect it to get better. But most of people already saw through A.Net's mask and see that they just don't care. The more people see it, the better.

V So, their vacations started 2 or 3 months ago. I'd like that - 4/12 months you don't do anything and still get full pay.
This is the cheapest game (time/$) in the industry so you must be very poor....

And yes, pls Anet if this game steals time from GW2 dont care with it. Btw yes anet doesnt care too bad they just made a team assigned to GW1...




Is there a way to ignore people like abedeus so im not able to see his posts :S

I like using Ursan to be honest, but seeing the pitiful state it left the GW community in game I'd rather have some skill needed again for a change.

Still I'd better go finish up my Norn Rank Title

To be honest, they still don't care much. Atleast, my faith in Anet will be slightly regained once they say something about the MAT that was practically screwed over. The Shadow Form change my thoughts on them, so...

Nope, already stated. I played Diablo 2 for over 6000 hours, maybe a bit less. Even counting afk hours, why not. Costed me 2x $60 = $120.

GW costed $40 + $40 + $40 + $35 = $155. Played for 3000 hours. As you can see... or maybe not, time/$ doesn't mean a game is better. Some people may have played Minesweeper for few hundreds hours, it's cheap, it's best?

And wrong about cheapest game in the industry - look at Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. FREEEEEE.

Made from people that already were working on GW1. But we don't know who is working on GW2.

Actually, no, aNet does not over-hype things. They are genuinely excited about their releases that they've been working hard on. The fan speculation is what always blows things out of proportion. (Notice that since I used "actually" in my statement, it is suddenly fact.)



OT: As long as HoM update is included, I'm happy. Otherwise, I don't see anything of major concern being affected with this update. As for new content, that'd be the day (possible, but not probable).

OMG this is the most ridiculous update I've ever seen. They made us wait a month for this? We didn't ask for any of this crap! They didn't hit Ursan hard enough and the perma-SF hard enough! The new tonic is the dumbest tonic we've had yet! That's it, I quit! /uninstall

Sry I just wanted the joy of being the first one to complain about the update.


On a more serious note, I'm actually looking forward to the update.

As long as ursan at r10 now is at least still as good as ursan at r1 then, I'm alright with it. I only use it for HM to bring skill caps along and some minor healing for my squad of horrible-AI hero/hench.

Actually, I just have a habit of using actually alot, so yeah... (No pun intended, I just noticed it)

It's pretty much a combination of ANet hyping and fan speculation.

Notice GW2? They were all excited about it and hyped alot of players up, combined with speculations = overhype. Yet, we still don't have any new info about GW2, so there was no reason to try and hype us up for it yet...

^Pretty sure that won't make any sense at all...

Yeah I'd like the HoM update. I can't play atm but still, when I can and if I care enough to fill my HoM, I won't have to buy those shitty destroyer weapons. Only a few of htem are actually looking nice imo :X

The following skills are what I'm looking forward to seeing in this monster of an update though I'm not sure how they would be affected if at all:

[skill]Cleave[/skill] [skill]Prepared Shot[/skill] [skill]Toxic Chill[/skill] [skill]Migraine[/skill] [skill]Invoke Lightning[/skill]
[skill]Dismember[/skill] [skill]Savage Shot[/skill] [skill]Faintheartedness[/skill] [skill]Conjure Nightmare[/skill] [skill]Shell Shock[/skill]

The Hall of Monuments comes second, but I'm just too excited. Yes, excited is the word to use on my feeling right now. Though the phrase "sometime next week" is used, is it safe to assume it'll be next Thursday?

You are a typical guy who is never pleased. Gw is the best time/$ game for me(5600h/33000HUF~0,02$/h) For you it costs 0,016 dollars / hour. Too bad you are very greedy so you want more. And you don't understand that singleplayer games do not need servers to run, or need ~ 4 (battle.net). Since you don't pay monthly fee this 0,016$/h is an amazing achievement from an "mmo" eh ?

I probably wont answer anymore

SS/LB ain't worthy of being account wide
just a stupid grind title that's easy to get
not worth doing account wide imo

Those are all fine skills at what they do. Were you thinking they were too strong or too weak? Invoke lightning is probably the weakest skill on there, and it still sees play in spike builds from time to time.

The builds I use in PvE across my five characters use those particular skills. If something happened to them, then it would impact my build. Doesn't have anything to do with strength or weakness.

We can agree to disagree. But seriously, you should not tell someone how to enjoy playing a game. It is absurd.

you're all hyping yourselves up to be severely let down.

Given past track record, its probably going to be one or two random skill buffs/nerfs that break pve and mean nothing to pvp, an armor graphic glitch, and a few bugged standing in town npc's that get a new placement or haircut.

HoM and Tonic will probably be the only real things added to the game, other than, just plain ol' nerfs. I think she was gettin alil ahead of herself when she said "Monster", I am sure it won't be the "biggest" update ever, although that would be cool if there was something added to the game that would give us more playing time, but other than adding Torment Weapons to HoM, I highly doubt it. It will yet bein another one day of excitement, maybe an hour or two at the most, then back to the same ol' boring GW.

Everyone is going to get their hopes up, and get alil to excited... only to be disappointed. I am sure it will be just another "update". I mean, HoM changes, Tonic, Reward Points, and skill changes is what she mean't by "monster". But I just don't have a clue what they mean by "big" updates in the coming months, I mean, what could we possibly expect besides an expansion?

Well anyways, I hope they put SF back to normal so I can get back to do some Sliver farming, that was atleast fun. Taking the 50% damage off I don't think would bother anything including UW, It would be nice to have some kind of effecient farming outside UW.

Its gonna be over 40 elite skills that will see change. There may be some crazy brokenness but Izzy has received a lot of feedback from many pvp'ers about skill changes.

Don't know about the 40 Elites, but Ursan nerf (and re-balancing of useless elites) is mentioned here.

After the last update Izzy said that he was working on reworking or buffing 40 different elites (at least) to make them viable. He didn't want to go live with this update before the guru tournament and then the mAT so he held back.

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.
I know the number is 40+ from being involved in the pvp community. I assume this is also where people are getting ursan nerf ideas from.
