As long as SF itself isn't touched people will find a way to UWSC again somehow. Give it time. There are farmers and SC'ers out there who are willing to take up the challenge of breaking the game again. I'm 1 of them. Cya soon.

Regina, Martin - if you guys are reading this please send a HUGE thank you to the Live team and everyone involved. This is a brilliant update.

Reserving judgment until I find out the costs of PvP skins.

"12 silver coins for a basic weapon" is pretty ominous, though.

They can, happened twice in two separate runs (obviously).

You need to unlock 50 basic armors to even see the fancy armors. The reward points have went from 20 per basic piece to 18 rp's per basic piece or 36 silver zcoins. Not sure if I would call that a drastic reduction in price.

I really hope not, that wouldn't be fair to those who fulfilled the requirement to the rewards ><

I was looking forward to getting some elite armor on my pvp assassin trading gold but if the requirements are still there, then I really don't see the point in bothering. Not spending every minute of my life to get it you know.

Did the live team change something on the ecto drop rate? Did 4 smite runs with dual accounts, got zero ecto.

It appears that the Ice King was replaced with King Frozenwind (after Daniel Frozenwind obviously).

Also, didn't go through the whole thread, but the quest in Ice Wastes, the Dryders go after both the new King Frozenwind and the Reaper.

This is way too much IMO. 1,800 copper coins for one piece of armor!?

For items that were at Tolkano before (http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/PvP_reward), all prices were reduced 40% in tournament rp.

EotN helms and most armor are available for 18 rp apiece as basic. Exceptions are Dread Mask (45 rp, fancy) and Ninja Mask (30 rp, fancy).

Fancy armor can be bought for 1 gold coin per 5 rp. Basic can be bought for 1 silver per 2 rp.

More details to follow after class.

This always happened it's just that everyone got used to catching the dryders aggro as they spawned and never let them run.

No one else said so, and it's a minor thing, but thank you Anet for finally removing Healing Touch from Mhenlo. Not saying he won't still charge into the frontline to wand enemies this just gives him (hopefully) one less reason to do it.

This update is pretty awesome. I haven't had time to play in a while now (damn school and work), but now I really have to load it up and see. Definitely wanting to take the new henchie builds out for a spin to see how well they work. Devona Charging us all over will be missed, but otherwise, they look great.

How do these changes affect people who, believe it or not, have never completed Underworld?
Good question. Somebody answer that.

That name is just to epic to NOT be related to the Halloween quests.

Hmm, I'm going to have to actually play the game again, atleast for awhile. The henchies don't sounds so bad anymore and might actually fill out a solo party and be a benefit instead of a burden!

I'd like to check out sealed deck, sounds fun. Although, making the HB title useless is LAME! So much time waste by others trying to get that title for no damn reason. (good thing I never worked on that title )

New ways to get old loot? I'll be checking that out.

Anet didn't nerf SF, yet again. I laugh hard at the haters. SF forever! (I need to build a sin )

Sounds like an interesting update, can't wait to check it out. Sounds like you done good, anet. Give yourself a pat on the back and a shot of some strong stuff.

From the game updates:

Festival map decorations no longer require a build and will automatically switch when the festival begins.
Should be interesting to see things go poof! Or more likely, when you zone in after that time it'll be all new and people still in zone will see the normal stuff.

Over all this was a fantastic update. The changes to the henchies as well as the updates to the Underworld are great and Codex Arena is also fantastic but I just wish it was slightly different. I don't know about your experiences with it but from the few rounds which I have played, I have found that it has already reached the point where certain players demand a particular build for each class. I know the skills change each day but I imagined the arena as being a place where you could just entire a match similar to RA with what ever build you could make from the selected skills. For me it's not so much fun having to join a group (which took time away from actually playing the game type) only to find I have the "wrong build" and have to give in to the build of the day for that class. As a whole, the Codex Arena is great but they're the problems I have with it personally so far.

Good job, Anet.
Although I won't hold my breath, from here on, I'm looking forward to a better future for the game.

Is it true one of the ritualist henchman has 19 in an attribute while in hardmode? That sounds really lulz...

On the upside, Devona is now a KD-spammer (AoE in Prophecies, even) and Talon has that chain-dslash build (no SY! spam though for obvious reasons), so I guess they just became good at something else ...

Man, now to learn all those new bars... At least now I can make a decent team build with heroes and henches.

Also, removal of TA and HB in favor of a sealed deck arena - YAAAY!

Not a bad update in my opinion.

Anet deserves a frosted cookie for their hard work.
