Teleporting in to the trench in Stygian Veil is now a no-no I assume.

The Dunes mission is going to become an annoyance for people especially with a lower population. Having heros cover the ghost while you go and kill the generals isn't my favorite thing to do. If you had more time it would be nice but I don't see them altering that.
Coast
they try to reduce playerbase, its so obvious lol
this only hurts doa trenchway and glitching into nahpui quarter so u can't skip vinuzah square anymore.
For doa all it means a few minutes longer runs, no biggie

next thing to do is: make the exploreable part of dunes having a hill down, so you can walk.... same if there's other areas like that
lemme guess, its cuz of 1 stupid elite area, or a farm, isnt it?
thats 1 thing i hate about anet, they do stuff like nerf skills for pvp and make no splits, change many things only cuz of farms and speedclears
if there's no suggestion like this yet, i'll make the dunes one
PLZ anet, do something nice for the general pve players, instead of making it harder for everyone cuz of farmers and/or speedclear people

Why on earth?:/
They do an update every once in a lifetime and it's just to screw things up?:/
I wonder how you can explore the area below dunes for cartographer now.

WTF? I mean, they barely do any updates and if they do something it's something that hurt the playerbase and isn't actually needed to fix anything of importance...
When I discovered Dunes of Dispear I needed around 4-5 attempts to cover the whole area and it wasn't enjoyable as exploring because it was very hasty. After exploring the area I found out about the glitch and startet the mission again to actually explore everything, making screenshots etc. To make it short: Doing exploring the way I enjoy it, doing it the way why I like exploring-->Exploring unhurriedly and enjoy the environment/taking screens off it.
Not there is no way anymore to just enjoy that part of the map and that is horrible.

I have to agree with Coast. This looks blatantly like a move to decrease the player base. Simply a low-down, scumbag move imo. If this was an issue, it would've been fixed 3-4 years ago. Messing with it now shows Anet's intentions.
cosyfiep
hadnt even thought about the carto part....what a bunch of idiots!! (anet that is) 
(and if you want to post about the update I had to search around to find this post about it...go to the support forum: https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/fo...3-Update-Notes and post there....and ask why the bloody he..ck they did this stupid thing).

Cuilan
So how many of you tried to see which ones were changed and which ones weren't?
ectogasm
Dunes shouldn't be a big problem, you can use the Goss glitch instead, which IMO is the better glitch anyway as it works universally. 
Vincent Evan
This is actually pretty comical. We'll never know their intentions behind doing this, but the more and more they update this game now, the more it seems like they want to lower the player base. After all, they did make a "promise" to keep the servers going as long as there is a player base. Maybe they see you all as a financial pitfall now and that the times of Guild Wars are truly coming to an end.
jayson
Were spirits able to attack through gates previously? I couldn't get them to hit an infected guard on the other side of the gate in Minister Chos Estate. Although you can still cast spells and summon minions.
Bristlebane
No, spirits couldn't hit through gates of Minister Cho's before, although they certainly tried.

I think nobody cares about the Dunes mission anymore. We are in 2013 guys, almost 8 years after the release. The main problem is about DoA. Why do they do this NOW ?
It's just very stupid.
Meanwhile, earth shockwave eles are killing PvP so hard and Anet don't do anything.
People saying that Anet cares about GW are all wrong. To me, they are killing their own game since 2010/2011. Maybe earlier.
I really hope I can make my own server once, with my own settings of the game.

It's bad enough we get people who come in here and make it a pve vs pvp issue. Now we have pve farmers crapping on fellow pve players.

You don't actually need to map that area for 100%. I scrapped everywhere, and I had 100% with a whole area not mapped. There's a lot of leeway in Tyria.
That said, the change is stupid at this point. All the botting and exploiting going on, and they settled on this? Even if it was an easy fix. The PvE in this game is all but founded on exploiting crappy AI and triggers. There's a whole wiki to catalog this.

Automated Tournaments * Adjusted the guild rating requirement for earning Champion title victories to 1050. Bug Fixes * Fixed a bug that caused Daily Automated Tournaments to use the same guild membership restrictions as Monthly Automated Tournaments. |
(and someone is finally asking WHY they changed the skills for teleportation)
Keyez
Hasn't been mentioned yet, but due to this update automated tournaments are now bugged.
4 7 day players are now required (like it used to be) compared to the 2 we've gotten used to.
Hence why we've seen so many forfeit guilds today.

guess this is what we get when we leave so few people to do updates

(and yeah there might be lots of extra % in prophecies...but it was nice to explore the area on your own without having only ~9 minutes to do it...it used to take me about 1/2 hour to clear the whole dunes mission extra area, now it will take me 4-5 trips thru the silly mission to.)

For those who are crying for their dunes, it's time to wake up and learn how to play.
When I did the cartho on my lvl5, I didn't use the glitch to explore, I just launched the mission and run. You have enough time for the cartho...
The thing is, this update might have been set when they changed urgoz, the only area where the teleportation was legit.

and i dont use texmod, as i wanna play GW by only turning on GW to play it (besides, i'm no fan of using 3rd party stuff for my games, especially not with my account)
now i hope to see something (like replies) from anet, as even i, who always had more faith in anet than most when nerfs or stupid/useless changes were made, am doubting they want to keep GW alive anymore (so many defensive posts for anet, and now this stuff..... o_O)

jayson : No offense dude, but cooperative missions in prophecie are very less played than end-game areas.
End-game is why people stay in the game.
I've just tweet SL to ask him why did they do this, I don't really expect an answer ^.^
Meanwhile, they put champ range at 1050, thanks for this.

People open to players and those that are heroes/henchmen only.
People that play with more balanced groups and are open to all professions as long as they run good builds, players open to anything, and those that speedclear/farm.
Nothing in this update bothers me, but I would like some skill real updates. Smite, rangers, paragons, etc.

I'd like to see real skill updates too but obviously they've taken a back seat to GW2 so I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

So why do they still call it Shadow Step and Teleportation, they might as well rename it all to Shadow Step since it's now the same thing.
Mintha Syl
No, I don't care about 100% on my cartography. I care about having the map visually completely clean. So yes, I care about mapping dunes and other missions. And I don't like having to do it with time costraints, what's the fun of exploration if you do it in a rush and with an eye at mission timer?
Also, if changes don't touch you at all please refrain from saying "who cares". I don't care about many things in update but I just don't comment on them, as others indeed do care.
I personally prefer if they don't touch ranger and smite with updates, especially ranger, paragon ok cause it can't be worse...but after ele update I prefer they would keep like this professions with some use. But well at least don't make harmful changes just to have a reason to do updates, I'd rather have no updates than bad ones, honestly.

Shenro
Just curious to know but has anybody noticed bad connection spikes that don't normally happen after this update? Before the update i sat on a stable ping of 70ms and still do only for a short period off time before it jumps up hitting 700ms+ For a few mins and then drops again.
Cuilan
There should be some small group of players that Anet can bounce ideas on and to test things. I wonder why that hasn't been thought of before.
Bristlebane
Well there used to be a "Test Krewe", but seems they've gone to the Mists
instanceskiller
sad. Just sad. That is all I can say about this update. I don't think future updates here on will illicit a different response from me. Still, it really is pointless the teleportation change. I agree with an above poster who says they should be renamed to shadow step now. I also don't remember now, and an above poster mentioned it, but doesn't Urgoz actually need teleportation to complete?

Ah I see, thanks. I haven't been in Urgoz in a while I guess...
Quantum Duck
If the player base is notably decreased by a random exploit getting closed there is a serious problem with that player base. Why now? Probably a bot farm using it somewhere or some such. So why not fix it all with one easy change, including the tiny "innocent" exploits along with it, instead of taking more time to cherry pick the worst offenders?

Or maybe we should worry.... whatever. ANet are god damn crazy nowadays.
