What is to discuss? This is all crap. Where are the skill updates? I'm awaiting a long overdue buff to Ursan Blessing.

Looks like the Xunlai Tournament House is even more user friendly now. No excuse for anyone to not use it!
MisterB
XTH now has /roll.
Professor K
New Xunlai site is slick. Hopefully people won't have problems getting their points as well.
Sarevok Thordin
The XTH is now far easier to use. I approve!
As for the Zaishen combat quest being repeatable.......
This is going to be VERY fun

It always was "repeatable" via rerolling, this just lets me use pve chars or skip the reroll inconvenience. HB is gonna break in half though.

Ugh. Where did the Forgot Password thing go on the Xunlai Tournament house? It seems to have disappeared.
kupp
Looks like on the next RA zquest I'm gonna be getting some Balthazar Faction on my necro. Yeah I don't do HB to do a proper farm. I just hope zkeys prices won't plundge even more then what they are now.
Yawgmoth
What a horrible joke. Instead of completely removing the XTH crap I keep wishing for they work on "improving" it. FFS! It's not going to be less of a problem no matter how much you "improve" it. There's only one fix to something THAT broken - complete removal.

Ok good, now pvp'rs can supply the pve playerbase with heavy equipment packs sooner and at 'reasonable' prices I hope.
Fanita
In the prediction slots, does it matter which order we put them in? Are we predicting who will win as well as in which order they will place? Or is it in no particular order?
Mr. G
iirc (I havnt done it in a while) It's in the order they come
Sarevok Thordin
The order matters indeed. Top being the winner and follow up placements being 2nd,3rd and so on.

Fanita
OK thanks, I understand now.

Thanks Citizensmith, and I applaud your awesome avatar.
Jensy
Kinda lol that the method for which people profit from PvP was pushed out before the updates that enable the players to play better and... generate points. Heh.
Shayne Hawke
Cool looks to the new XTH, and I might care if I spent more than five minutes in it picking predictions.
boo, no skill balances. boo, previous assumptions on the skill balance.

Random pick button? Now theres no excuse for me NOT voting every month XP GG anet, I likes it
Kerwyn Nasilan
New site MUCH more user friendly, I like it.
And also, I like there Z Chest advertisement, almost makes it look like I could get something good out of the gold devourer xD

A good, if modest, update.
However, I'm a bit unnerved by the Xunlai House change. It seems like an open invitation to phishers. Also, it's not like NCSoft has a good record on keeping their website free of vulnerabilities. And, even if the NCSoft site is secure, SSL itself is still broken...

go cubs

I like it
Thank you anet!

Maybe I'll finally try it but I still think it will be a faction burn for me (and with wrong guesses).

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love this update, now i can forget screwing around with Anet support and actually be able to login to XTH.

The security of the XTH was also my main concern after seeing this update. Lets hope they're right when they say it is as secure as logging into the game.
Otherwise, sensible fixes really. Specially about being able to select which ZQuest you turn in when you have several completed.

I love how this screws pve players even more. Why doesn't Anet just make ALL these zcoin farms repeatable for all the types?
Red Sonya
Yeah ^ I agree why can't I just do Consulate Docks over n over again in HM for the same amount of zcoins? Once again PVP screws us over. All my PVE characters have Consulate Docks open, but, I don't have everything open to every one of them in all the chapters and EOTN so I can only do 1 most of the time with my main who is the only one to have done everything.

Not sure if anyone else has realised this yet....the list you can choose from is now in strict order of QP's, at least for 1v1.
No more random grabbing of 8 from the 1st page anymore. In case you didn't realise, the first page used to be the top 10 (or however many) placings in the last tournament, meaning a random selection offered a reasonable chance of good points.
I refuse to be baited on the zcoins issue, since that's a total clusterf***.
GG Anet, as usual...

Security concerns aside, I welcome the change. Having 3 logins for different things was inconvenient at best, irritating when having to contact support at worst. Here's hoping there's not a flood of stolen accounts.

cool i can use xunlai on my main acc now

In the XTH, what does Q.P. mean?
