August Update?
NeHoMaR
Actually, I want a new campaign for GW1. Forget about GW2.
Shewmake
I'd rather wait for GW2.

I'd still rather wait; the graphics in GW are great, but the graphics in GW2 will probably be spectacular. With a new campaign, I doubt we would see drastic improvements graphically. GW2 will be a fresh start.

List of things probably going to be in next content update:
-Skill Update
-Removal of Heroes from GvG and HA
-Addition of Henchmen to PvP
-Something else, I really dont care what else; the above is enough.

I'd rather them focus everything they have on GW2 and leave GW with a few updates here and there to bait us lol.
If they drop everything to work on a new campaign they would have already finished GW2 by the time they do the new campaign.

I persoanlly beleive TOA would become a wasteland. With the nerf of permas it will essentially kill dungeons with the occasional 600's running a few. UW will become obselete. It is the same thing with every nerf, let's go back to ursan days. After Ursan was nerfed it killed DOA and people discovered perma, well now they will take away perma and someonelse will find another big farm that will be leaked.
We all know that if they nerf perma and if there isn't another big farm (discovered quick), many will quit guild wars especially with aion, DDO, and others coming out.
Guild Wars is dead, but the little flesh it has left will rot if perma is nerfed...

OT: I'm not holding my breath for an update. This fan has been burnt a few too many times to keep faith in time lines until the content (whatever that is) has been delivered. April's update was a thumbs up from me but the hype and teasers about this one has been nearly non existent. Or is that a reaction to Aion?

DoA is dead because the rewards are crap, and it takes a lot more effort than other elite areas.
ToA, on the other hand, has good rewards, and little effort. It's not going to die if speed clears get nerfed.

You are aware that even if SF gets nerfed, groups will still be able to do speed clears, right? Shadow form isn't the biggest problem, it just makes things faster. The problem lies within the design of the UW and FoW. If shadow form gets nerfed people are simply going to move onto the next best thing. As long as the design for the UW and FoW aren't changed, there will always be 'speed clears'. Even if ANet changed the design for both of these areas making it impossible to split up and clear individual areas at the same time, they will never die. People will always desire ecto, shards, eternal blades, obsidian edges, and all the other rare, valuable items you can obtain from these two areas.
Also, pretty sure 4 hours is over exaggerating just a little bit.

there are still people doing DOA, so it hasn't "died" if you want to get technical about it, but UW and FoW will end up exactly like DOA, yes people will desire all of those things but there will be a new farm and people will buy those things not go and farm them. Honestly I think it will take at least 2 and a half hours for uw, just my opinion though.

You bring up a good point about Sorrow's Furnace. When i first started playing, SF greens were 100k+, practically worthless now. i think that if Shadow form gets nerfed uw will turn into the new sorrows furnace or doa, and ectos will be made just from solo farms, whatever happened to VwK farm, FoW on the other hand is not as dependent on shadow form and will find a way around it. people will still do clears of UW but i doubt it will become quite as common and will probably stay within guild/alliance/friend groups.
A good parallel to UW is DoA. DoA:Ursan UW:SF DoA: ursan nerf=very few DoA clears but still soome going on, some solo farms for gems, very heavily farmed before nerf.
UW:after a SF nerf will have some clears and solo farms will take control. before nerf, what it is now, overly cleared in a short amount of time.
Although i have to say, i think ANet wont nerf SF. Once SF gets nerfed, i dont think id ever play with other people except for when running them and doing stuff w/ guildies. It would just destroy the atmosphere

Guild Wars is already dead, but the little flesh it has left will rot with the SF Nerf.
As Always Goodluck and Have Fun in the game no matter what get's nerfed.

Pretty sure the updates not going to be until next week (updates are generally on the second thursday of the month, this is the first).
Simath
If the only reason you play Guild Wars is to cling onto your fragile SF nonsense, you are a humongous shitter.
I hope they nerf SF so I can have many lulz at a bunch of scrubs expense.

a good indicator of the update incoming is when gw.com gets updated with the monthly AT winners.

It's best to just assume that there will never be an update, that way you are not dissapointed when it either doesn't come or comes around and fixes absolutely nothing.
If there is an update, I am expecting very little more then something like this:
Updates, August 06
*Fixed an irrelevant bug nobody ever runs into in some quest no one ever does anymore
*Fixed another bug even more irrelevant than the first one we fixed.
*XTH...not fixed ( hurr Hurrr )
Skill changes ( PvP )
Ele:
Mind Blast: capped energy gain at 5.
Meteor: Increased recharge.
Mesmer:
Distortion: energy loss now scales with fast casting ( Or some other lame fix )
Monk:
Buffed some healing elite in some way that doesn't actually increase it's viability.
Ranger:
Durrrr....no updates for ranger lolololol
Warrior:
Nerfed tactics stances again lawl lawl lawl
All the other classes:
Hurrr durrr
Skill Changes: ( PvE )
Resurrection Signet: Target ally is ressed with 100% health, 100% energy, and deals 1000 damage to all enemies in the area. For 200.......250 seconds this skill wipes your ass for you and randomly kills monsters regardless of how much of an unskilled scrub you are. This skill recharges whenever an ally dies. ( ATTR: Kind of a big deal title )

I like how everyone thinks the game will collapse when Perma gets nerfed. If anything, that is an indicator that it should get nerfed. The entire game relying on one skill to carry them through areas.
Karate Jesus
I sincerely doubt it'll be today.

Well, how unexpected, instead of telling us whether we'll get an update and if so whats in it, no official regardment from A.net. I'm surprised.
NOT.
NOT.

i blocked out the frist part of the gm's email becuz of the plain facts of you people spamming them and its not my email to give out
and blacked out a couple other things for other reasons
Calor Estalle
I guess that's conclusive... It's still only 3pm Anet time, so we have a while.
Lishy
An update once didn't happen until 3 am or so, I remembered. Just be patient and play CoD4 or WoW in the meantime.
