Update - Thursday, June 24, 2010
Guild Hall Changes
Druid's Isle: corrected line-of-sight discrepancies that gave an unfair positional advantage, allowing the red Guild Lord and Bodyguard to be attacked from a close-by ledge.
Isle of Meditation: corrected spacing discrepancies by moving the blue Bodyguard out of nearby range of the Guild Lord.
Lite week!

Aw, no new WiK stuff this week it seems

Take your time with the Derv updates, make them spiffy and make them count!
Puddin Cheeks
This is epic fail as far as I'm concerned. I bet only about 1-2k people even care about GvG anymore. More than 10 times that still pve and were having fun with WiK up until it came to a complete stall with dribbling updates. Now we don't even get one. Sigh.
EDIT: Sorry for the rant, but I felt it necessary to get it off my chest.

Stop hatin, Puddin Cheeks. Just pretend there are no updates if the minor ones make you feel bad.
Mustache Mayhem
yeah that's all I pretty much do is wik content too.. figure one of these days my confessor will pop to the ground
noticed there is some thought that's going into the bosses they pick.. picked 2 bosses in the black curtain on different days
was able to get 2 gifts in one run (per char.. I usually rack up the quests and finish them all at once anyway)

Sure didn't take long for people to come here crying about not getting new content added every week to a free to play game.
The funny part is, the same people would be coming to bitch about anything new added that it's too hard or too easy or maybe both at the same time.
take this new rope to that tree {just testing a theory}

hmmm, who says this is the ONLY update we are getting today....still several more hours in the day where i live anyway.
AlienFromBeyond
Because where you live doesn't matter, where they work does. And where they work most of them are already home or on their way there. There's a reason why we don't get many weekend updates.

I think you will find that a couple of times in the last several weeks they updated WiK related content on a Friday. Patience is a virtue ladies and gentleman.

that's what happens when they do a big publicity tour with lots of press releases and promises, about War in Kryta, GW: Beyond, Facebook updates speaking of imminent war, Murro updates speaking of imminent war, etc. Anet set these expectations themselves.

eh gotta agree w/ puddin cheeks here.. i really dont see many ppl that even care about GvG anymore.. much less that are serious about it.
oh well.. maybe they will get those white mantle out of sparkfly swamp.. really annoying when your trying to get to the dungeon

There won't be Guild Wars without Guild versus Guild. Whether you like it or not, Anet does still care about PvP (as it was the original intent of the game) so please allow them to give some love to those neglected PvP formats.
On Topic: Thanks Anet!

Very good update for GvGers, especially considering how many Isle of Mediation GHs there are.

I'm still waiting for the big finale to War in Kryta. It just seems like they've stretched the taffy a bit too far.
Isn't the Dragon Festival coming up in the next few weeks?

Yes. They say a new mask (though the text is exactly the same as last year), everything else looks identical.
zwei2stein
Well, YAY for weekly updates.
Missing HB
I guess some update about WiK will come tonight , since next week it will be Dragon festival , and then it will be holidays and we probably wont get anything for 1 month .
Anyway , it would be nice to get some other shining blades bounties , or to make quest objectives bit diferent , because if we have to get same bounty every 10 days for months ... ~~

Wow, another update, very soon. It's not something I can be interested in, but still it is to appreciate.
Xsiriss
Makes me wonder why they bothered with an 'update', there are still problems with WiK that need to be sorted out (useless henchmen for the missions etc.)
fowlero
Lol, i really wonder why now of all times they decided to fix druids isle.
Not too aware of meditations specific bug, bodyguard can rambo on most maps it seems?
Nice that they're fixed these bugs though, better than random boss skill bug fixes years later.

Ahh too bad no WiK updates or the derv update. Have to wait a little longer, means I can finish things with my rit.

When is this War in Kryta going to end? Or is there no exit strategy?

They bothered because there are problems in GvG as well. They bothered because there is also a PvP side to GW, even if you are not into it and neglect it, it still exists and there are people playing it.
The replies here are a bit annoying. You guys should say thanks you got additional content at all, while in PvP we just got stuff removed like TA and HB replaced with CA which died after the first week.
This attitude that says 'If it's not PvE-related and interests me personally, it shouldn't exist at all' is annoying.
For a while now Anet has been releasing updates with new WiK content and at times neglected many issues in PvP, i don't care about WiK, in fact i haven't even started the quest chain, did i QQ about it? No. Anet is going to release the updates you want, be patient.

tbh the new content bores me too much talking.

I love how everyone assumes that everyone else is into what they are into. Where are everyone getting these numbers from or what the majority are into?
I don't see how GW being a game without monthly fees has any bearing on people's right to complain. At the end of the day it's a product. A great source of PR for GW2 is GW. If people love GW they will likely buy GW2. If they think it's stale and dull, it might turn them off GW2 and they will buy one of the competitor's products. The people complainng are not just disgruntled players, they are consumers going off a product. That is something that Anet should take seriously. They don't have to cater to every complaint, but they should pay heed. These players are their bread and butter.

As for the lack of a WiK update, I wouldn't lose hope just yet. The first major WiK update (in tandem with the Mesmer changes) popped up on a Friday.
FoxBat
This update needed to get out the door now so people had a little time to adjust before the mAT. So yes a friday WiK is possible. If it doesn't come, it's not like the tweaks they made took any effort at all, so don't think of it as replacing the WiK content - they must have had an independent snafu.

If my guess is correct, then according to the reward dialogue in Temple of Intolerable in which Princess Salma speaks, War in Kryta will end after we beat the 4 remaining mursaat bosses. Here is the link of the quest: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Templ...he_Intolerable and here is the reward dialogue of Princess Salma:
"Excellent news, <character name>! Now three Mursaat have been eliminated and four remain, if our intelligence is accurate. But this news of Mantle forces amassing in Demetra is troublesome. It is a holy place for the Mantle, being the site where Saul D'Alessio pushed back the Charr. I suppose we can only wait for word from Dinas and hope he doesn't come under suspicion. His work has been crucial to our cause.
Hope this will help to the people that can't wait for ending War in Kryta.
IlikeGW
Well all the remaining Mursatt could appear together along with the final Mantle bosses. I hope so anyway, it might even seem like a war and not your superhero characters hunting down everyone without breaking a sweat.
majoho
I see the usual people make their usual whines.
Nothing new, carry on.

Anyhoo yay for GvG update!

So far, we've dealt with:
- Willem the Demeaning, a Mesmer Mursaat with Energy Surge
- Aily the Innocent, a Monk Mursaat with Aura of Faith
- Koril the Malignant, a Necromancer Mursaat with Life Transfer
If four remain, it is easy to assume we'll have:
- Some Elementalist Mursaat with Thunderclap
- Possible Jade Bow with Oath Shot
- Possible Jade Armor with Devastating Hammer
Then we have the last one. Assassin, Ritualist, Paragon, Dervish?

The Mursaat are spell casters so most likely Ritualist
