Well, I just downloaded an update. Nothing on the GW update page yet. At first I assumed that it was just a little more halloween stuff being added in.
Then I saw something.
The login screen now no longer says "Guild Wars: Eye of the North" but just "Guild Wars."
Makes sense since they really don't need to keep "advertising" GW:EN anymore by now. Well, at least we won't get any more of those annoying "OMG I bought GW Factions but it says I have GW:EN" threads we keep getting in Q&A every 2 weeks.
If anybody found anything else in the update let us know (like the halloween masks in the .dat, hint hint).
Stealth Update October 30, 2008

i downloaded this update too and 'eye of the north logo' has alrdy been deleted
Covah
That was changed a few updates ago.
DarkNecrid
They changed the thing awhile ago and I don't think you can call it a Stealth update just yet, they might not have gotten the notes up. (it's probably small, it's not the first update of the month.)
therangereminem
the update was 1 file and that was it nothign to decompress or anythign i did a - image about 1 week ago
Tom Swift
I'm betting it was info for the Halloween mask(s). I would suspect they don't put that in too early so that people don't have as much of a chance to pull it out of the dat file before tonight's party.
Icy The Mage
The logo change already happened in a previous update.
The forth fly
i did -image and got 3 files that was it though

Well wasn't the long anticipated shadow bomb nerf, thank god. I therefore don't care.
germanturkey
^^ nah, shadowform nerf will be part of november's big update :-p
probably more halloween stuff. gearing up for the thorn king's return.

Konig Des Todes
My guess is to the masks being put in the .dat file finally.
Along with new dialogue from Thorn for his "jokes."
It must be Halloween related stuff imo.

The update before was probably an update for the mad king, adding the masks, all that kind of stuff.
jaximus
id bet it was something to do with the security update from earlier and the upcoming big november update. they probably learned something with the halloween updates that needed to be put in place before the big one comes.

I dont think theyll nerf SF. Its no longer OP in UW farming (ectos are back to pre SF prices). The only OP think is that bludger lets you drop so many bombs so fast.

therangereminem

Use a standard perma shadow set up and exit sifhalla in to drakkar lake. Give Budger Blackpowder 100g to follow you and lead him south then east through Norrhart and Bjora (cause if you go back through sifhalla you will lose him) into the vaettirs in Jaga Moraine.
gather a bunch of vaettirs together, grab powderkegs from Budger and drop them as fast as you can.
Boom - exploding vaeter all over the place.
exit to Bajor and then back to Jaga to reset the vaettirs and do it again until your pack is full of golds and tots (don't bother with whites, blues or purples cause you will get a ton of golds and don't want to have to jump back to town to sell junk and make that long run again)
Some things to make it easier:
1: run skills, obviously, to make the trip faster.
2: drunkenness + dwarven stability to keep from getting knocked down if you get too close to the modnirs or avalanches on the way
3: ebon escape so that if the vaetirrs happen to box you in (which tends to happen with holiday lag) you can jump to Budger
4: a book to read or music to listen to cause, man, does it get boring after a while.

i think the update may have had something to do with the costume brawl.
before when somebody would leave before the timer started, you would be down that person for the next match. now i am noticing the restarts just before going in and leavers being replaced. dunno if it was always that way or not but i'm getting less of groups down one or two cuz someone had to leave

was right the masks whwere added last week not in the update today lol

too bad the update wasn't to disable the golem tonics
It only takes one or two people with those things to make a whole district upset. That is something ANet should have known would happen.
