Side note, the GvG map rotation has also been updated, but isn't documented on the website.

We're doing some backend work on the Xunlai Tournament House, so the points will not be ready tomorrow as planned. We're very sorry about the inconvenience. We expect to have the Xunlai points distribution available next week.

Given that this is the first time XTH 2.0 was used you would give them a bit of leeway given it's a whole new systems and there may be problems.

Does this backend work include fixing the problem with it's complete lack of ability to handle any sort of load placed on it a few hours before deadlines?

I'm just going to get in early and say it;

Stop complaining about points being delayed, they're free, and you did nothing to earn them.

But how else am I going to get those items that I have absolutely no need for, never want (just plan on selling), did no work for and other than placing random names in random positions under my account name have absolutely no entitlement too since I HAVE TO HAVE them right now????

Umm, yeah its just fine with me to wait a little longer, for goodness sakes if I really needed them right now I would just go earn them myself or farm the gold to buy them right now. A bonus for doing nothing shouldn't be complained about.

Hopefully all the bugs and kinks related to recently instituting the new xunlai house will be ironed out with this tournament rewards point round and it will be all smooth next time around...

things like this are really making me think about GW2(if it evercomes out) i dont care if i didnt get my points to day im just mad because it seems Anet cant do anything on time and if they knew they werent going to be released they should have told us like a week ago so there wouldnt be any QQing now.

Agreed. You, me, and Mithran are lonely bastions of realism fighting the war against mindless QQers.

All I can say is....

HAHAHAHAHA

I just won $5. I bet a friend that the tourny points would be late the first time after the new XTH went into affect. He actually believed that the new system would make it better. Cynical realism pays off again!

Oh, and did Regina actually say if the skill update would be on time or not? If it's late, I win another $5

The problem is that everything is delayed not just the XTH, it happens with EVERYTHING.

TBH wish they didn't give out the XTH at all, it just inflates the price of everything.

Thank you for the advance notice, it's good to know before the panic starts tomorrow! For those of us who did receive points today, should we collect them from Kun Shao right away, or wait until the changes are made?

Who cares about the points, I just hope the skill update is going to be good (great even?). A change and attention to PvP would be very much welcomed.

Well if you did get points today they cant have been this months because firstly as Regina already explained they will be a week late and secondly even if they were gonna be on time you wouldn't get them till tommorow anyways.

Is there going to be a skill update, or will Arena.Net continue to disappoint the player base even further?

Thanks for the information Regina. I think it is sad to see all those players complain about Anet 'not doing things on time', 'not being ready', 'delaying everything'. But the problem lies with those players, and their I want it now! attitude.

Didn't we used to have weekly updates?
And then they became monthly?
And now the monthlies are getting delayed? And when they do arrive they show how out of touch with the game the devs are.

It's their game.
They can do with it whatever they want.
But the question that arises is - with no new content and consequently people losing interested not only in the game but also the franchise - can they afford this?
They seem to think that they can.

Me? I can't wait to get my hands on D3!

I think this was made clear the moment GW2 was announced. They do want to continue the Guild Wars franchise, just not with the 'new campaign every 6 months model'. Some people are still stuck in that phase, being accustomed to a new content injection as soon as the excitement of the last update started to dwindle.

I for one am able to put this game aside when it starts to bore me. I play other games too, and will play other games than Guild Wars in the future (like, indeed, Diablo 3). However, Guild Wars has made such a big impact on me I am sure to log in with every major update, and I am sure to buy and play Guild Wars 2.

I can't speak for the masses of course, but if I can choose between getting jaded over this game/franchise by keep playing this game everyday in hope of a revitalising update, or I can put it aside for a bit and enjoy other games, I know what to do.

Absolutely.

But bolded the main point.
The game still bores you.
And that's why I have no issues with people stating that. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to sugar-coat the truth or simply shut up when things aren't going the way that they should.
