Probably won't be documented like the last few. Most likely bug fixes after the staff break or AT map rotation. If we're verrrrrrrryyyyyyy lucky it might be preps for the upcoming derv changes.since they're completely reworking the mysticism att.

A couple friends and I have commented that it seems like the camera constraints have been moved out just a bit... might be our imagination, but our toons look smaller at maximum zoom out and it seems like we're seeing "more" area.

Does anyone else seem to be noticing this? Or are we just suffering from a mass hallucination? LOL

I don't know about the character seeming smaller, but it does actually seem like I can zoom out more.

Just a prediction as this usually happens on the first Thu of every month.

Hmm, you could be right. I just zoomed out to maximum range and indeed my character looks smaller than ever. Weird.

also updated on the login with the web designer advert, and i reckon they'll have removed the last of the NPC's for wintersday, and fixed any minor bugs that happened with wintersday ending

Is it possible to still get Melandru & Balthazar Costumes as a double pack? If not, there's your update.

... and if it has anything to do with the Dervish update, go check and see if any Dervish enemies/bosses behave differently. Normally, you can tell a class update is brewing when enemies of a certain class start spazzing out or don't do anything for an extended period of time.

wintersday npcs went off for their usual 11 month vacation ( sounds like the update team lol - jk anet team :P ) and the snowmen npcs melted due to warmer weather.
Updates in first weekof month are usually minor updates/bug fixes or tonic/map changes , if were lucky the 2nd week has a better update - maybe skills or rarely a bug fix for a bug thats been around for a month or more.

I do wish anet would improve their system of informing us what updates have been done , most mmo`s give details straight away but gw seems to have a time barrier between devs and web staff and often we wait an hr or 2 just to be told the update was to fix something very minor - eg oh look a white moa runs clockwise instead of anticlockwise

No (new) -20 armor penalties on any Paragon skills. I'm happy.

They just removed the Dervish class for time management solutions, probably so they can play on the GW2 test servers more.

Absolutely right about the camera moving out further then normal. My guess is that something BIG is coming... something we will need to zoom out to see fully.

I didn't notice the camera zooming out farther at all. Looks exactly the same to me.

Does seem to zoom further to me. I'm not really sure of a possible use though. The only thing I'd want new with the camera is a button to toggle a cinematic cam on that automatically rotates and zooms in battle while you're spamming away your routine.

Keirans bow can no longer be inscribed...unless they pulled that with one of the other updates and just missed it, i just now noticed, myself....


*edit* Was looking at wrong Kieran's Bow...was looking at the one you get from Gwen, not the one that comes with Keiran when you get him as hero. Ignore me.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

The camera zoom looks the same to me as always, or maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention before. It would be nice if they were already prepping for 7 heroes, but I thought that was supposed to come after the Derv update? I can't keep it all straight anymore! XD
