Thanks on that- I've been assuming it was a rumor started by one person that they hope Ursan gets nerfed- I normally just skip the lead paragraph of useless info and go straight to the skills >>

Yep, people are getting their ideas of a pve skill nerf from the pvp community.

We'll just have to wait and see. I'm not getting my hopes up.

DON'T EXPECT - New content, added areas.
DON'T EXPECT - Changes of fundamental gameplay.

DO EXPECT - Lots of skill tweaks of both popular and unpopular skills.
DO EXPECT - The account-wide HoM update and the Tormented weapons.

If we get one of the things I'm expecting, I'll be ecstatic. If we get both, I just might pee myself.

If Ursan gets nerfed and the Tormented weapons are added in to the HoM, I will make gigantanormous profit on my Armbraces that I bought last week anticipating both of those updates.

I don't know why, people knew about this for over a month, i for one already got my 11 torments before the dev update, right after reggie spilled the beans.
Only thing that make me wonder is how dealt with the 2 different bow skin. Might just buy an armbrace to make sure:P

Um, the phrase "monster of an update," means a huge update. So it doesn't really mean monster-only update, it means an update that would be really big (since it's a PvE related one, I'm expect Shadow Form to be further nerfed, a first great nerf on Ursan, and making solo farming in the UW and boss farming impossible).

I'm looking forward to the fact theyre looking into the grind based titles and how to reduce it- since I only have them half maxed, it half helps.

Exactly my thoughts. I won't bet on the updated HoM for now. They have a lot of things planned, but all in time I guess.

Joy and Ursan nerf. Now I wont be able to just start the game and do a mission/quest without thinking if I don't have much time. I can see where they're coming from wanting to make using Ursan more tactical but if you want Ursan to be weak don't max Norn title.

Most of those in the PvP community have been known to pay attention to meta, skill trends, and Dev wikis.... I pay attention when they post.

The bow skins and the armor. I'm assuming it will function like Destroyer weapon monument does now -- one bow of any type and it's filled.

The bigger question I have is armor sets and how my Prophecies armor will appear on my Assassin and what-not, since the armors are supposed to take on the form of the character in the hall. Also, Prophecies elite armors are not specific "types" like your Elite Canthan, Vabbian, etc., so I'm anticipating that they'll be classified as "Marhan's" and "Granite" type and have incorporated that into my plan for having every armor set in my hall. Here's hoping.

Also-if they completely overhaul GvG, as in remove VoD and replace it with something else, I'd lol. Then I'd run to find a guild so I can GvG as much as possible.

If this thread is just a hint of the tsunami wave of QQing, rage quitting, open lettering and personal attacks to come after Thursday I will be happy no matter what happens in the actual update

I'm already considering getting the afternoon off just to sit back and watch the fireworks.

I wonder...which would cause more QQ?

Anet releases a nerf to Ursan and Ursan lovers QQ on the forums....

OR

Anet doesn't even touch Ursan, and Ursan haters QQ on the forums....

Ursan gets nerfed, people will FREAK OUT.

Ursan stays the same, less QQ.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who love ursan, and use it daily. There are hundreds that dislike it.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for something that big, although it would be nice. The relative silence(and lack of a flat-out denial) about .dat findings and previous mentions of "trade system updates" does leave the possibility of changes before GW2 release. But, I'd think Anet would be trying to hype this update a lot more if it was included.

If Ursan die, maybe pugs will see the usefullness of all those other nice pve skills, for once (like, all the three vanguard wards, pain inverter, great dwarf weapon etc)

instead of going all out with ursan

Agreed, the dwarfen weapons are very good but no-one uses them when they all go like: OMFG WERE LOOKING FOR R10 URSAN TO DO 123 SPAM DOA NOT SOMEONE WHO HAS A GOOD BUILD NOOB

I play the game to have fun, and like most players (most that I still play with, I have pvp'd and all that jazz, not into it anymore as I do not haveto wave a chronic epeen hard on everywhere anymore) I pretty much pve now with a few friends (the list of these friends has dwindled pretty much with no new content there is no reason to play anymore). We DO NOT like spending hours anymore on discussing our set-ups, we have something called lives so sometimes we have very little time to get organized. I use Ursan for convenience, not because I love it or that I can only play using one stupid skill/build. It can be fun to play, sure. But I DO NOT need it. Anyway, I am just feeding trools and shit with this but RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing a, you guys are childish.

Now for Angel, you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. I said kill the game for ME, and above I explained why. I enjoy the game still but I am a very casual gamer. MOST PEOPLE THAT PLAY ARE YOU RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOINGS! If they kill Ursan I just will move on to Cabal or something.

To reiterate, I play with a few friends basically to keep in touch with them and have fun (because aim sometimes doesn't cut it), I use Ursan because I have pretty much done everything I want to with this game and it is convenient for me, and really, none of my friends use it because one Ursan in a party is usually sufficient for anything. If it is changed very drastically I will stop playing because I have builds upon builds that I do not give a shit about anymore as I have BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS UPON BUILDS....

I don't give a shit anymore, Anet knows this is the flaw with the game themselves, there is TOOO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING MUCH, and I am not sifting through them all for the millionth as I am not a hardcore GW player at this point.

In summation, waaah waaah whine whine, you are the ball lickers that have been whining for 2 years straight about everything under the sun. You are the people that make it not fun to play GW anymore when you try to strike up a convo because you idiots feel like if you yell louder and are more persistent you win at life. Enjoy acting like you are 11 all your lives.

You need to drink less coffee i think.

Looking forward to an update for the first timne in a long time.

UB rest in pieces. ( i hope)

Monster update?

Hm... Since Linsey's specialty in EotN was mostly making areas an quests, I bet we should be expecting something in the lines of that... and maybe some weapon skins, like some dagger, scythe and spear skins to drop in Factions and Prophecies...

Ah! And the HoM-Titles change!

Anyways, I'm not accepting an update as 'great' until they add the Xunlai Market.

Long time since the last time I said Xunlai Market...

Didn't they remove the Xunlai Market textures and info from the gw.dat file? But still, there was a hell of a load stuff about that in it, so it still would be possible.
