Skill update today?
NoXiFy
Mainly for Regina/Whoever at anet's gonna read this. Should we expect a skill update today?! Would be lovely

no GW is perfect
Eragon Zarroc
it would be nice but it seems that they tend not to get the update out when thursday comes right after the tourny ;-) will prolly happen next week
Jensy
Not expecting anything today, because we just had the mAT. Guess we'll see, as if there is a skill balance, it usually comes later in the day (5-6pm Pacific). Maybe Regina can swing past and keep us from endlessly guessing.

Not gonna get my hopes up..
Still, it would be nice..

Pretty sure that it's tourney points and stuff on the first Thursday and skill changes on the second.

Chance of skill update today - 3%
Chance of skill update being meaningfull - 0%
The last skill update took several months to do, I don't see one happening so quickly after the last huge embarassing failure they released.
I'm not even expecting ZKeys, I'm thinking next Thursday for those, not that I'm getting too many this month because I simply don't care. Clicked the "Random" button on the picks and walked away.

I'm doing my monthly show next week and I decided that on a guess that the update will be next week rather than this, so hopefully I guessed right

Don't expect anet to take initiative on anything for another several weeks, as always.

Ok I give up, basically trolling/sarcasm over how anet suck and screw us over just for the hell of it.
I apologise for the awful typos earlier but I couldn't correct it due to my crappy internet so yeh.
Everlasting ecto still stands, I will find one dammit

most if not all monthly updates this year have gone live on the second Thursday of every month so the answer to the previous question should be obvious which is next week. It seems everyone is annoyed at anet right now. I just hope that next week anet can change things around if only slightly.

And by no new build today, I guess that would mean no tournament points today, right?

What's a skill balance update?
I think we lost those quite a while ago.

This gives me more time to abuse rojway and Shadowform, because these issues will obviously be fixed next week.

That being said...
I went and did some research on the question of 1st or 2nd Thursday. Here's What I found. Going back to January 2008, there have been 17 regular monthly updates. Of those 17:
- *13 of them were done on the Thursday after the first Sunday
* One was done on the Wednesday after the 1st Sunday. (Sept '08)
* Two were split, but the first part came on the Thursday after the first Sunday with the second part (skill updates) the 2nd Thursday. (June '08 & May '09)
* One was done on the first Thursday before the first Sunday (April '08)
So, I think it's fairly safe to expect the monthly update to be on the Thursday following the first Sunday - regardless of whether it's the first of Sencond Thursday of the month.
P.S. It looks like the June '09 is following the same pattern.

Going back, again, to Jan '08, the updates were on the 2nd Thursday/Wednesday SIX times (including the 2 times the update was split). That means ELEVEN times it was on the FIRST Thursday. |
The second Thursday after the mAT.

It was decent last time, you just have some fine tuning to do. Don't introduce any new broken things, and we'll be fine.
