Permanently removed Inadequately Equipped [GeAr]'s gold cape due to winning by forfeit.

someone is screwing around with the page on official wiki
so far it has said the above, fixed a bug, and "you are all jews"

its the official wiki, maybe they should only let official people edit it?

Meh happens every update. Someone will come along and protect the page, but as for now it appears wiki has crashed.

Was in the middle of a vanquish and opened up the tab for my pet when GW crashed for the first time ever. I copied the crash report as the programm couldnt send an email directly to anet.
Who should I contact?

Nice bug fixes. While those bugs should have never existed, it's always wonderful to have them removed. Good job.

Shame whoever was vandalizing the page saying hammers are bad doesn't know how to play GW, or it might have been funny.

Meh, totally understood and expected the ZSCAFK Luxon farm nerf, but it'd be nice if when they took something away (even something degenerate) they could give something back in return, especially since it's been cooking for so long now.

What? Remove something degenerate only to add something different that's degenerate too? How's that helping?

Well the Luxon AFK was good while it lasted. So I guess it's even now that both Kurz and Luxons have had their easy FF's taken away?

Still. This update was all filler and no killer.

I see, so that was a bug. I've been wondering why the Doppelganger could use this one PvE-only skill (and just that), but I thought it was sort of intended.

Thanks for the update.

Let me guess... this just killed the Luxon AFK Farm?

Hi Ms ReginaB

Is that why resetting password from ingame was not working?

Can I disregard my previous request to change passwords and leave it as it is?

I would have kind of expected this instead:

• Fixed a bug that caused the Doppelganger not to use PvE skills.

From the perspective of a pve scrub who doesn't realize how OP knockdowns can be, they might seem bad.

Which kind of makes makes dev statement that they want to buff hammers for PvE worrying. Especially when most of "high-end" pve ballancedways use hammer warrior.
