Feature Build: The calm before the storm
BenjZee
I'm continuing playing normally as you still can, yeah i look forward to build but why stop progress in a particular part because a certain title is changing etc.
Aljasha
Why would you stop playing before any update, unless it's a security fix? Neither the Dervish skill preview, nor the talked about possible changes stopped me from playing.

what i'll do is most stuff like last part of master of the north title to max, which is vqs (great weekend 
)
i have runes some heroes already, i even give my heroes superior vigor rune, which i normally dont
i have made like 8 good looking builds, of which 7 are real serious, and 1 is air magic, not tried yet
i vqed some ascalon parts (without caravan style) and on my main char done all dungeons on NM and all but 1 on HM, which i need for eotn master title to max (long live wiki), so i can go vq, do wanteds on HM(for royal gifts), zaishen quests
all i gotta do is heroes on non-main char with runes,insigs and weapons
as for survivor, i wait for 7 hero team to do that without boxing or buying kath hammers, or something similair, as i prefer to "play" the game
except for some dungeon run, i only had help, or did it myself
also, if drunkard should be like 1 use = 1 minute, then that title will be mine too
and i never stopped making new builds, so can do for heroes now, as i quit discord some weeks ago
so yea, i've been preparing, and some people hear me about it for a long time now, lol (bet they'll be happy to see me doing stuff with 7 heroes than talking about it)
first i was pretty P-ed cuz its no full hero team, so cant do urgoz and the deep with heroes only, but after i saw you(i bet i do) need more than 1 player, that'll be best
i yet have to see some update for melee AI to make those heroes useful

7 heroes party;
Vanquishes Zaishen;
Daily quest in pre-searing;
new Hero panel;
change to druncard and survivor titles;
some uncomprensible change on the friends panel;
is it true or not? the article mentions official sources...

To find it just look for the road sign in the area embark Beach. - Quest daily pre-searing - In the area of Ascalon (pre-searing) are new daily quests and rewards commensurate with dynamic difficulty depending on the level of the player. The quests are valid for the title Legendary Defender of Ascalon. - New Panel for followers - The update includes a new panel designed to simplify the control of the followers. - Status Online - Players can now change your status online when they connect directly entering the game marked as "Away", "Do Not Disturb"and of course "Online.

Holy shit, LDoA changes......i thought it should happen, never thought it would though....you can get it without D leveling :0...Kinda seems like a lame title now though tbh
Although, I will probably attempt it now and make use of my lvl 14 pre char that i currently use just for birthdays

LDoA a normal way : YAY my pre char will see the light again
survivor: dont really care myself, happy for others (if its a good change)
drunkard: make it plz be 1 gulp of 1 minute = 1 minute in title
"some uncomprensible change on the friends panel": well, could be nice if you wanna stay offline or such, in case you are on and gotta do something, then leave soon... or get alot of whispers (if thats what it means)
if this all is just a rumour being fake, then i hope anet will read it, and do something with it

Account-wide drunkard by itself makes no sense, you'd expect them to hit sweets and party as well. No, this is some change to make it easier to "drink" (although might not be as simple as "spamming" either.)
BenjZee
I for one was a tad peeved at the idea of surivor chaning but hey.. im two titles from GWAMM now, drunkard which is apaarently changing and this character is anicent so couldnt get survivor 
Daily quest in pre-seraing sounds morally wrong but then again making a monument for LDoA is too so im glad they are being quite realistic about point of these titles. However now i can't help think i want KOABD in pre including LS and LDOA if this works out well.
Zaishen vanquishing..great idea consideirng alot of people dont go back to vanquishing once its happened, its gunna be huge cycle until you get the one you want though. I for one think all the Zaishen flags should be moved here to free up space on temple of balthazar.
its gunna be somewhat ironic that warriors my least favourite and thats why i made him pre-searing character, but hes finally gunna get LDOA, leave that area and get one more title then everyone else

And I'm guessing that most of the things in that article will be in the update if not everything. I am doubting that 2 articles came out mentioning the same facts without some type of reasonable source or guarantee that it will be in the update.

Yes I know its anet
but its gonna b pretty hard to F**K this one @ post below, I am just saying that this is very different than the derv update. The new things that are rumored are coming out like "survivor changes and Zaishen Vanquishes" are not mentioned 6 months before the update. They are mentioned the day before the update from seemingly reliable sources.
If this came out with no announced date for the FB update, then I would be more skeptical. But because it came out the day before, I think we can be pretty certain of these things.

What did they say about the Dervish update that we would get and didn't? I really don't recall them saying anything about it other than changing scythes and doing an overhaul to the profession, which is what they did.
Also, hell YES update tomorrow. Zaishen vanquishes is awesome, since I still have a lot of vanquishing to do. And daily quests for pre is also great; I was never going to bother wasting time with LDOA because death leveling is a soul-killing thing, but now I might. And of course, seven heroes for the win.
Sweeeeeeet. No work Friday and Saturday and I'm going to be stuck at home (damn you car repairs) so I can have fun playing around ^^

Also yeah, i would never have bothered with LDoA before but now I will probably go for it. Vanquishes are a nice addition (although now I am only 15 vanqs away from being done with it) It would be nice if they had a Vanquish for each campaign (Tyria+elona, NF, Factions) So that it wouldnt take such a long time for them to come back around.

Also, since I assume they'd continue with faction/SS/LB/EOTN reputation points for completing the vanquish - less grind for those titles as well! Win all around there (and maybe I'll finish some of those, since I'm only r5 Kurzick and r5-6 for the reputation titles). I do have to wonder how those rewards will be calibrated, though, and what a fair amount for a completed vanquish would be considered.

Survivor=Most likely possible even after deaths.(Must get the same xp after dying)
Drunkard=Not sure yet

Any hints that they'd be making more titles account wide, or was it just these three they were looking at?
EDIT: Nvm, just saw the live team thread and saw the info. Thanks anyways for the tips.
