Wow, I totally didn't realise all of those came at the same time. I remember SF arriving but I thought keys came much later and the Titan Quests, attribute point change and change in rune colour were much earlier.

But back then I didn't read the update notes I just found out about updates by asking people ingame and I suppose most people were talking about SF rather than the smaller updates.

How can you say the best was the Ursan nerf and then follow it up with the SF nerfs being the worst?

Perhaps because the SF nerfs failed completely, whereas the Ursan nerf did a fairly decent smackdown on the bear.

SF had ectos at 4k, so IMO SF was great, but the high rollers/QQing bitches that frequent this forum didn't like that....

I still believe though that ursan was a little more fair than SF ( you didn't roll areas such as deep in 15mn or DoA in 30mn or so..) and was making everyone able to play an area with any class... Kinda like DwG to a lesser extend.....The only problem though , like you know , is how relatively easy builds are to play... but is it a good thing or a bad thing , i don't know....

I think Ursan was significantly more damaging to the game than Shadowform, mainly in that, as I mentioned, a lot of people were coming to the game and playing nothing but Ursan as their sole GW experience. At least from my perspective, I was kind of ready to move on from GW because the game was just plain boring just bashing 3 keys all across the map on every single mission in the game (dumb, because I'm sure a team with a lone Ursan is going to be considerably sub-par to any physical damage dealer with proper support buffs). At least Shadowform more or less contained itself to specific farms and runs. I don't many people that used it in general PvE play.

Signet of Capture working on dead bosses instead of having to wait for them to use the elite to capture it

Best: Reconnect after disconnect
Worst: Shadow Form the skill itself shouldn't exist in any kind of game.

The way it was before they made it wrap was actually pretty good, considering how they wanted assassins to work. Become a shadow, run in, kill and get out before you lose all your health.

The update that changed the Seer's infusion from affecting 1 piece of armor of your choice at a time to affecting your whole armor set. I didn't much like running through Moladune with each character 5 times.

Nah, just any content update. I love new content.

Best: Treasure Hunter+Wisdom to be account-wide
Worst: Nerfing Ursan. Thats right i said it, i liked ursan, it didnt deserve to be completely removed from gameplay like it is now.

Best: Sorrows, Dervish Update, 7 Hero update, Recent title fixes to Drunk and LDoA

Worst: Mesmer/Rit updates (Powercreeped bullshit), Shadow Form, Codex, Merc Heroes, and Dhuum (a gimmicky boss which promotes gimmicky team builds)

Umm...

Lately? I think the 7 hero party and the Z-missions/bounties/vanquishes. I wish they had the Z vanqs and the 7 hero parties when I was getting my legendary vanquisher.

Overall? I've been playing this for 3-1/2 years now so I wasn't here for the other things mentioned (it would be a MAJOR bummer to only be able to cap an elite skill when the monster used it, glad they changed that). So, overall, I'd have to say the 7 hero party, not because I don't like PuGs but because sometimes you just can't find them for what you want to do.

Seven heroes.
Couldn't care less about anything else at this point, everything else feels...like it doesn't even matter anymore. All the previous skill updates? Who cares?
Monster changes, area additions, blah blah, whatever.
All I know is I can play this game completely at my pace.

The first thing came to my mind is Sorrow's Furnace.

One dungeon with multiple story instances and gameplay styles, and the introduction of green weapons!

Absolutely one of the bests.

Yes I agree, that was a really dreadful update. And massive nerf to rangers.

Best: Full hero party ; Attribute change ( you had to grind to change attr~ ) ; Skill templates ; titles

Worst: PvE skills and making Cap Sig a PvE skill. Factions bonus system ( same thing just do it fast - really this is all they could think of ?) AoE scatter

also "Signet of Capture working on dead bosses instead of having to wait for them to use the elite to capture it"

I remember trying to cap Glads defense in Dragons Lair mission and just spamming cap sig hoping he would he use it

the update that mad me happiest was born again survivor. i finally got to godlike status ( i refuse to get my characters drunk even if i can drink 10k in one huge gulp) i was grinding the treasure hunter and going slowly more insane. the whole z coin things and wik is great free content too. the beary nerf made me very happy too.
It's not really an update but the bonus mission pack was the most disappointing thing to me. i never did complete any of those lame things.
