The second update may be shorthand for "deleted all the loot you farmed up with your army of 8,371 bugged BUH-spirits."

That would mean a rollback for everyone ?

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

It took me a while to understand what they meant by "Ran a build to address usage of residual bugged skills."

I think it means they just err7'd everyone so that they'd be forced to install the patch if they wanted to play, instead of staying logged in to abuse Ural's Hammer.

i think that is right, there was definitely not a rollback. Nothing anyone gained was really that bad.

So, did anyone actually end up finishing a run of UW with spirit teams while the BUH bug was available?

Me and my mate began with spirits and realized how worthless they were compared to summons. Summons follow you around(so no need to summon spirit or recast), and deal dmg from attacks and skills without needing to worry about who needs to Painful bond or spirit leech.

We pretty much cleared anything we wanted, did a couple quests. At one point, we just split up and did whatever. We were too tired to try Dhuum, and that would have taken a lot of time to summon enough allies. But yeah, we walked into an area of UW and just aggroed shit and it died. Was really simple. Did some quests but mostly just cleared areas. UW is fun when its empty. Wish this update had been a day later so i could have stayed up longer to dick around some more, but yeah.

Here are some fun pics i randomly took:







Also some solo DoA fun:




Needless to say, most fun ive had in GW in years. TY anet for update, was fun while lasted. could really care less about derv changes, but this was a really fun night. Wish i had taken a pic when we had maximum army up, but yeah you get he point.

* Fixed a bug that caused max-level scythe drops to have incorrect minimum and maximum damage.
* Fixed a bug that caused Pious Assault (PvP) to recharge instantly instead of 75% faster.
* Fixed localization for Attacker's Insight and Zealous Sweep.

is it just me or should they really do a bit more testing before they put out these updates? You think they would have noticed that the spirits would rez with buh--

anyways, glad they are fixing these, though wish they had done so BEFORE they implemented them ......

Well the Test Krewe apparently was only involved with testing the Derv updates. So BUH was just the regular A.net staffers fault.

not to mention the intended purpose of buh was so mundane that who would have thought to try something that rediculous? They supposedly test the crap out of everything, but no one is perfect.

You're expectations are unreasonably high. There are a handful of people who do the testing compared to the thousands and thousands in game playing and testing said update. 2 heads are greater then 1 right? How about thousands??

Wow! what a update madness last night. Im happy that i only was there with the first update came and the 2 DC's after that.
There has to be a notice when you log in: Today we are gonna update GW. If you want to test the updates for us you can game. If you want to play with a survivor or play the Underworld or a other high end game you will be kicked out.

But then in better English.
