Players have come to expect Xunlai Tournament House points to arrive with the first scheduled build of the month. This was planned for November 6, however due to a critical staff absence today, we will be unable to distribute the Xunlai Tournament House points until the November 13 game update. We sincerely apologize for the delay.

EDIT:

The new monthly tonic will arrive on November 6.

The skill balance will be on November 6.

The title re-balance will be on November 13.

I'd wager a guess that since Regina mentioned November 6th and 13th, it's going to come the 13th, unless that 13th update is just one they've made up now specifically for handing out points.

One guy wrecks an entire update? What, no SOP (standard operating procedures) binder laying around with a "how-to" regarding implementing updates? Having a single point of failure is very bad business practice...but seriously, this is just a game (at least for us).

I mean I do understand the need to test the skill changes - but if AB will become a better option for advancing the Luxon/Kurzy title - why do the weekend BEFORE the super dooper change?

Gonna have to agree, I think Halloween this weekend and AB weekend next one would be better. Two weekend events could get confusing. :/

Drat, I was quite excited since I had Friday off school, and now we need to wait another week.

I suppose we should say thanks for the info, but still...

Why the heck does one person missing a day delay the whole thing by a week? Shouldn't it be delayed by.... a day?

Man this sucks for ANet, you cant please anyone. You tell them and you cop shit, you dont tell them and you cop shit. Guys the title balance is coming. Weve been waiting like 6 months, 1 week aint gonna kill you. The tourny points, they are coming. They are still gonna be worth 5k/key when they come out, and the drops from the Z-Chest arent gonna go kapoosh in 1 week. Big deal.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize your gaming needs totally trump the illness, family emergency, or PERSONAL BUSINESS of Anet staff.

Also, I agree that having the AB weekend next week would make sense considering we'll have costume brawl this week and the title balance will be next week anyway...

This is severely disappointing. I'll still be satisfied if the skill balance gives us some viable options to experiment with on the AB weekend.

agreed. also regardless of what happens to anet staff. it should take them an entire week to release a update that was going to happen tomarrow.

On topic: while I hope the reasons for the day off weren't serious, I tend to agree with the folks talking about best practices and wondering how/why one person's single day off could delay a planned update by a whole week... unless of course they were just behind schedule or overambitious to begin with.

And I have to work all next week too... long days.

Ah well.

EDIT: To whichever moderator did the ninja edit to my post, thank you for making my point for me better than I ever possibly could.

Agree
Title re-ballance should be before AB weekend.
AB weekend is the best option to test new advancing in luxon/kurzick title...
It's a pity that we will have to wait for it a few months :/

Yes, 6 months. So the title rebalance better be something else than just a few bigger numbers for kill or when turning in the points.

The title rebalance could make some of the titles fun to achieve, which could get me back into enjoying the game. From my point of view skill update is useless and title rebalance is important.

Hi,
I don't know if this has been answered before but, will the title update include the account based Hall of Monuments?

Thanks.
