The descriptions of well spells have been updated, but the skills themselves have not been. Were they meant to be updated, or is this just a leak of next month's update?

Oh wow. I'm actually really happy about this update. I mean yeah, they left out a few issues like Bspike and Mindblast, but the amount of changes and fixes is so great. Also knowing that they are going to try figure out what to do with Shadowform makes me :D.

Great update, makes me feel like you guys still care :3

Look, people would whine if the XTH wasn't awarded and a.net didn't quickly respond. They do... and people whine about their responding.

Stop threatening product boycotts because you didn't get your free money fast enough or they nerfed your favorite super farm (which, if you have payed attention, would have known was coming since they ALWAYS nerf OP farming builds). The real reason half you people won't be buying GW2 is because you won't be making enough money at your minimum wage McDonald's jobs after your parent's kick you out of the house next year. Not because of some protest.

"target ally inflicts a deep wound for 5...17 seconds and deals +5...47 damage with thier next attack"

I was really excited about the possiblilty of my warrior being able to see some play in HM again, but nope.

Didn't get my tournament points >.< don't really mind THAT much but I'd like to know that it'll at least work next time. The skill update was interesting though.

all the whining here, but its a good point. We all wait another week delay so they can fix the xunlai system, that despite a few double rewarded points, didn't need upgrading in the first place imo, so they upgrade it, force us to wait longer for our rewards so they can yet again fix the xunlai that they just recoded. just for what, so we can wait another week for them to answer all our support tickets about not getting points. By the time everyone gets their points, it'll be time for the next tonic

i agree! why should we have to do this when we were forced to wait longer then before. plus the troubles you had with the site too. besides >> i dont know how to contact customer service. and to others its not free money for me! its more points for my title! >> i want my points. *pouts* 2 friends used same guesses as me,one didnt get points either and one got 80. gg anet!

IF Find their Weakness was more then 1 attack then it would be good, right now, it'll still be collecting dust.

When I saw the new skill descriptions for Ritualists.. Oh - my - god.
ANet. I love you. <3!

For a while I thought the Ritualists were going to be 'the underdog'-profession with Paragons, but oh my..

Signet of Spirits is just.. something.. and the summoning time of the spirits..
Just.. I can't even find the words. You revived PvE Spirit Spamming builds.
Now I can even think of taking Razah and Xandra with me and leave Olias and Master of the Whispers home ^^! But this really brought them up alive again.

*A kid with a new toy*

I just tested SoS with the 3 spawning power skills.. Just.. whoa.
You can actually kill those Jade Brotherhood Knights in Wajjun Bazaar HM with full spirit build alone using spirits, if done right.. (oups, I said it, nerf. )

tl;dr

Thank you. <3

Wow, PvE boosts? Seriously how much easier can you make the game? I understand seeing Paras and Rits as a tad underpowered but balance the scales please, take out PvE-only skills. Ever since EotN, HM has turned into a fun game of "lets see who can cast AP + Norn skills the fastest!" For those of you out there who actually have fun playing the game, congrats to you. For the rest of you, why don't we have some forced family fun, minus the Discord caller.

No you are not reading that right
"Find Their Weakness!": functionality changed to: "For 5..20 seconds, the next time target ally attacks, that ally also inflicts a Deep Wound and does 5..50 additional damage for 5..20 seconds."

Still alive and well.
I am even able to take 3 RoJ heroes into HM and NOT sync RoJ and still not have them scatter.

Thumps up!
No not everything most PLAYERS wanted. Its what most GURU users wanted. Big difference.
You ask in local in most places and more people will tell you they DONT want this stuff that guru users do.

Oh well, 6 accounts, all missed the GvG predictions because of website issues, but I was able to enter random 1v1 predictions. Come time to cash in, *1* account has 30 points and the other 5 have naff all, even though you're supposed to get 5 points just for playing.

I'm a bit mixed about the skills. Seeing PvP took some more nerfs really doesn't affect me. Although I can see this futz's up Sabway and it's use of Weapon spells for healing purposes.

Thing that gets me is if they're happy with solo farming WHY THE FRELL NERF KEGGING?!

Yup, nothing like catering directly to the overly vocal minority.

So wait... you mean you guys want to have to handle the ticket load of hundreds of thousands of players complaining about not receiving their TP's rather than just accepting the fact that it's broken and just release a fix on your end? How about... we just make everything THAT much more complicated and increase the work-flow on those already overworked. Excellent idea.

Just like other posters have stated, every other time you guys have jacked up the TP distribution, you have shortly fixed it without requiring the ridiculous support ticket system. Having players opening tickets for their 15 alternate accounts is going to be nothing other than unneccessary work on your side.

Acknowledge the problem. Locate the issue. Troubleshoot said issue. Fix the issue. Release build stating "issue resolved". Have a cookie. Make sure it has sprinkles.

PangWen out.
