I think they removed the wintersday crap and made the so called preparations for Canthan new year.

Wintersday Priest is removed from GtoB, so I assume they also removed the decorations.

Updated map rotation, and did some CNY prep looks like.

And yeah, it's still Feb. Gives the mods some time to create a lake big enough to hold the torrent of tears that will be unleashed when Farmageddon happens.

But, the Canthan New Year came out of nowhere, nobody could have seen that coming. So long as it is more than untested fiddling of numbers I'll be fine.

Why exactly again does it take over 5 months for a solid pve meta change? why exactly again did ANET have Regina announce that they were changing SF/600 on Dec. 17th 2009 and here we are almost 2 months later without those changes? Why did Regina post in the same thread a few weeks later saying the delays to the changes were, "to be expected" because of the holiday break, but she posted the upcoming changes BEFORE the break even occurred. I just don't get why we are getting bite sized blocks of information that ends up being incorrect after the fact. It's completely frustrating also to not get the updates on the days(second thursday of the month) that they said they were going to put up. No more Guru for me to check on what the devs say anymore, or what they tell Regina to tell us, because none of it is relevant or pertinent to the community anymore.

Now, now. Calm down. You're making good points but there is nothing we can do about it. I have no clue what they're working on over there as well, but they must be doing something ... otherwise they'd be fired or something. I guess they're just back to their old habits: not giving us any clue of what keeps them busy.

Or they just can't get themselves together to release a simple skill update in less than 6 months. I'd *like* to think that isn't the case.

Two skills lol. That's really all that needs to change from what Regina was saying they were seriously looking at. Shadow Form from a "...fundamental level" and a skill that would get rid of the 600/Smite teams. Yeah you have to pick a skill on one of those two bars for the 600/Smite nerf, but really there are 5 skills max out of the 16 that you would need to change, and you only have to nerf ONE skill really! So a nerf to Spirit Bond, Prot. Spirit, Spell Breaker, Retribution, or Holy Wrath. I mean, just pick one and be done with it or stop wasting the community's time by posting things way too soon, or posting things that aren't going to happen at all. Between this, and the misinformation about the XTH(just talking about what was promised on this forum, not the actual XTH) what's the point of reading anything the devs post anymore when none of it is reliable?

Maybe you're new to GW (less than a year old), Because they've been doing Canthan New Year for a while now...

I doubt there will be any new items. Rediculous amounts of party/sweet/drunk points will be floating around, no one's going to care.

Well I happen to have a theory:
I think all the so said Anet officials and blogger are just made up by Anet to pull pranks on the community. I can imagining how Anet probably is roflmaoing after they post something about a nerf or fixing that (or not fixing something at all) and when they see the communities reactions.
Further more I think their epic Test Crew conistis of Feng a ex goldfarmer who they have trapped in the basement of he toolshed they call Anet headquarters.


No but realy guys Look at what has happend in the last few months. Bad (if any) updates. More and more people apperntly getting pulled over to work for the WoW for the proletariat 2. Seems to me that Anet is quit francly running out of funds (no subcription fee income etc...). So they decide to put what money and resources they have left into GW 2 and pray that by the time it comes out not aller their costumers have wandered off or quit (for reAsons on this please read the 10000x of GW is dead threAds).
I don't see my self buying GW2 for the reason that they might decide to make GW 3 (a big if all depends if GW 2 fails or not) and then we would have the no update content and so on drama all over again.
I would rather invest my money and time in another Game or Hobby where the company actually cares about their costumers.
Just my 2 cents.

There are more than two skills that are problematic and worth changing in PvE. And there are different levels to which changing those skills will affect the game, so lots of angles need to be considered.

This better be the one. They've had several months and the Test Krewe is helping them.

And why bother spending money on something that'll only provide you with a few years of entertainment, right?

Also, the main reason that GW2 is being developed is because the GW1 engine (or something) is limited.

You don't really believe that, do you?
I was referring to the Dec. 17th post by Regina that states that the two things that are getting the update treatment are SF and 600/Smite. They said some other things were, but this was their PvE primary concern at the moment. I believe Regina's post is still on the first page of the Riverside Inn forums bro.

Nah. śćó look normal. Ą and ę are a bit different. Then again, why would you want to use those letters? Most or all of the good Polish players left or retired/half-retired two years ago or more. Only scrubs are left ;/

Why is anyone surprised by the lack of meaningful updates? I'm pretty sure Anet announced they'd release previews before they did skill updates and as of yet, I haven't seen one for PvE changes. Why would you think they'd implement such a thing out of the blue?
