Melandru's cripple duration has been upped a little bit at lower attributes.

r9 has 11 second duration. r0 has 5 second duration.

I'm most than disapointed seriously, they give us a time schedule for the update and are not even able to do those when they schedule. How long should those bugs took to fix? It's already have been 20days since last update (who btw was a small fix) and months since they promised us the "Feature Build" before Canthan New Year...
If it's the way the GW update team, as small as it is, treat customers wich are more than patient that's a SHAME! Better go to another mmo company for some time and see what P2P as to offer! I know they are not supposed to support a game wich is 5 year olds... But when I say "My job will be done for the 13 January" I will not give it the 27... They still have 2 weeks for that build and if it's out before CNY that rant will be

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

Fix for the cash-crew's auto-walking glitches?

This I like. I think this means that the Vizier will no longer be surrounded by a dozen mobs of White Mantle when you approach him after taking the spirit to his grave.

Turns out the official wiki's cripple progression has been wrong about that for a long time.

Wintersday Redux. Expect it. People GO RED ENGINE'd about getting scammed and guess what? ANet felt sorry.

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the stuff for future changes, updates or add-ons are already done and they're just twiddling their thumbs waiting for the right time to let it be free.

Didn't you see the contest announcement? The 2010 contest was the debut of the reindeer tonic!

At least it's fixed for next year...I'd rather they did it now than they left it for later and forgot about it (again?).

Or maybe spent their time and resources on.....Oh, I don't know.....something that isn't a complete joke?

Yeah, no....it's good to see where the current focus of the team is.

Yeah, im gettin sick of these tiny bug fixes and things that no one gives a shit about anymore or ever did.

At least give us a frickin decent estimate, talk to us, tell us what the fk is going on.

Sure its nice to know ahead of time that we are getting a sweet feature build and dervish build but shit, but telling us this far in advance? HOLY SHIT tell us whats going on.

What the red engine.

@ANet: I know it's difficult, but please come on here and tell us when you're going to perform minor maintenance updates. The constant getting hopes dashed is getting really bothersome. I'd rather know about the piddly crap and be surprised by the epic stuff, not the other way around.

Fixed a pathing issue in Kamadan.
Was that the "run to the other side of the stairs before going up or down them" issue? Because I don't seem to have that problem anywhere anymore. I wonder why they singled out mentioning Kamadan, though.

Edit: Ack, well, nevermind. Just hit it in my guild hall. :/ So either that wasn't it, or if if that was it, it wasn't fixed everywhere. I didn't have that problem in GOLEM, though. Used to happen each time I ran up and down the stairs, but it didn't happen a single time this time.

Seems like a pretty interesting skill update. Can't wait to see the builds people come up with and hopefully it changes this stagnant meta.

Loving the derv update and the full hero team is just gravy. Can't wait to log on and take a full hero team with me. This is going to be fun.

Weird update. But a good update.
The Sanctum Cay is a bit to late for me. We just banned Prophecies with the guild from the Zm to do list and now they fix the missions... Not that it needed a fix i liked that i needed to do something for the bonus. I wish that they fixed the prophecies bonus where you need to activate them from a npc that dies when you get near him.

Anyone knows how the Special Present icon looks now? On wiki there is no change to see jet. Its good that its changed but people have to check trades. The "Accept" button is not there for the fun. I play gw for 4 years now and never understand why players get scammed and i never will.

I don't expect anything from them anymore , thus i don't care a lot . However , those kind of updates we get like every month now look like they make some updates just to say they 're doing updates...... Most of bug fixes are things i never noticed and that didn't do matter to anyone...
Once again , it leads to " logic " : where's the logic in fixing a pathing issue in kamadan whereas people are waiting a dervish update for over a year ??

This, 100%. I saw the update notes and went "wtf?" I like the Sanctum cay change...it's a simple yet effective change that makes that mission not so ridiculous. I can get both done in NM just fine, but HM is ridiculous.

Anything else, who gives a rat's ass? Pathing bug in kamadan? A small graphical glitch in a guild hall? FFS.

Love these updates. For the entertainment that follows - the jokes... the sarcasm... the witty remarks... the whining (esp. the "OMG I didn't get what I wanted, that means GW2 will suck" type).

The most excellent joke so far. Sadly, there will be many who actually think that's true. But that's funny too.
