No need to customize all those expensive weapons on one character who can't use them.

Oh and there's 11 different weapons

(actually 12 if you count the 2 different bow skins)

So my guess is still that armbraces and Tormy's will get a bit more expensive. But I don't think it will rise much, because prices are already very high, and only the very rich can afford them. Demand will be low simply because only a handfull can afford them. It might spike right after the update, but it'll stabilize again I think/hope.

I thought they were just going to add a second row for the torment weapons or something? So that people that already had their's filled with destroyer weapons, can have both?

This is why.. Stop poking the Xunlai dude in towns you guys.. they are complaining to Anet. Thus, delaying our points..

I often go and poke the xunlai dude, throughout the month. Its because one month I recieved my points in 2 parts, I assumed that was one lot for GvG predictions and one lot for 1v1 predictions.

This month I've only recieved one lot of points, so I dunno. I bother him whenever I pass him on the way to the Zchest.

I think MOX is like the golems you encounter in the last missions in EotN. They have Dervish too as profession. so, if i am right (propably not

) it's pretty useful.

Ideally, the game balance updates fall in the first week of the month. Sometimes they fall on the second week. The team aims for the first week, but there are sometimes circumstances which push it to later in the month -- Mox is a good example.

The blog idea is still in the running for consideration. We can't make any promises on this because there are so many interdependencies and moving parts involved when it comes to web, not just here in ArenaNet, but also at NCsoft. Having said that, I have relayed, many times, how much many of you would like a blog related to GW/ArenaNet.

The Hall of Monuments update will not be released in September. I have the devs' assurances that we will let everyone know, in a Dev Update or similar, _before_ the changes goes live.

I dont mind getting the points later in the month but it would be nice if August's tonic dropped in August and not 1/3 through September.

We try to ensure that you have at least 4 weeks for the new tonics.

Sorry, if I haven't answered your questions, it's either because we haven't finalized any decisions (e.g. which skills will be changed), or I can't talk about that information at this stage, or it's too early to say definitively at this point.

Back to planning PAX. =)

Oh, speaking of PAX, we've got a lot of cool activities in store. I'll make a separate post about it to give you a little preview before our news post goes live (tomorrow). :-D

Yup, somewhere in the wiki Linsey or Regina stated that those will be following a monthly basis from now on.

Edit: And Regina again just here before me, XDDD.

Thanks for the answer

MithranArkanere that's not what I meant, I saw what Lindsay wrote and from what I understood it was saying that these big updates would be the 1st thursday of each month.

Thanks for that Regina, it's good to know that these things have a schedule at least, hehe.

Can we expect to hear more from you in the future? That would be nice, you had a period of away-ness. I was worried you didn't like us

As long as Paragons and Mesmers get their monthly dosage of steroids, I will be happy with the update

It is a shame that the HoM update hasn't come yet. But I trust ANET has a good reason for it, but they are super-secretive. So you have me regards in its success

I can't wait for this new hero, it'd be cool to run orders on him/it.

Good luck planning PAX!

It is currently 4:54pm (15:54) here in New York. My best guess is it'll be 6:30pm (17:30) before the update comes along.

Well I sure count on it happening. I bought a lot of Superior Scythe Mastery runes at an average of 250g. Wish me luck.. and you know who to whisper to when you need a good rune deal

You might be doing a lot of "WTS" with no takers too, but good luck.

M.O.X should make a cool extension to any melee/orders party, even if it's just for looks :P

I really don't want to sound rude/pushy, but why is it the update comes so late in the day?
E.g the major skill update, and it was great, came around 11pm GMT, and I was wondering if there was a reason, because with something like M.O.X, I have been online a fair bit today, and was hoping to see it added.

It's nothing important, and really it's just me being selfish ^^'.

Right, thats what most people said last time, finally it ended up being freaking 3 am GMT+1 when the update was finally there ( talking about the august update)

Now i dont mind to wait a few hours but im not in the mood to sit around to 3 am for a hero update, and then have the same stuff again next week when they want to release the monthly update.

Its 5 september now overhere, which isnt the 4th but okay, i guess delays is what you get when only 2 people work on gw1.

Anet is an American company when they say the 4th, they obviously mean the 4th...in America. It was the 5th long before it was the 5th for you in Japan and you don't see any of the Japanese players complaining, do you?

I must admit I think the MOX would be more fun if he had his own skills that were unique to him and not just another derv.

I would like... Pirate Memser. That would be cool.

To be honest, having Oola's Golems chasing around after you would be odd, and I don't think it would work.
