Yeah she basically said:

--> new items (including greens) for the new chapter - guild wars: factions
--> ladder reset next monday
--> guild emblem contest coming
--> more armor coming
--> new professions are different enough from old professions
--> major update planned for soon: should be announced in next 24hrs
--> the new factions are NOT good and evil as such; its more complex than that...

I was there with Gaile. She answered 5 of my questions! Is that a record or something?

Also, at the end, there was a huge congo line. At least 80 people must have been following Gaile throughout LA while she was running. Too bad I can't get my screens to work : (

Oh, and the major update question, good and evil question, and armor questions.. Those were from me ^^

Huh? Why did you quit? How you expect to start another GvG season?
Do you want the top 10 team to remain there forever?
Because without a ladder reset you basically have no chance.

BTW - did you not notice the ladder has been FROZEN for 2 weeks now?

Again - I dont see how a ladder rest makes anyone quit?

you work so hard to get where you are, the only way to be the best is to beat the best, which means working your way to the top. Quit because all your work has gone to $#^!

From her interview at photics.com she mentioned about "a seasonal tournament" Assuming that means the ladder, then it's going to be reset every so often. Unless she's talking about some other tournament, in which case who knows if this will be regular (but I'm guessing she may be talking about the current ladder/tournament)

Think of the reset every season as in terms of real sports. Real football teams, soccer teams, basketball teams, or lacrosse teams all have to work hard every season to be number 1. Every season though, it resets and no one is the champion until the next season decides who is. Do all the pro football players quit after each season because they worked hard to be number 1 but it gets reset? No. In my opinion only the lazy people are the ones to quit because of this (no offensives meant to anyone).

And yes the congo line was awesome and she talked about everything mentioned above. Hope this update isnt just a contest or some mroe palyoff games or something, hopefully and actual content update (I dont care if its small!)

What?? Is this a miracle? Some one actually CHANGED THEIR MIND AND AGREED. Lol J/k . Even if you dont agree at least you didnt flame again and understand others points (which many of us dont do, including me ) Kudos to you, MMSDome .

Back on topic. I hope that the update could be an Auction House? After all we have been asking for it for a long time and supposedly it was coming before Chap. 2. just a speculation. Ill have to check tommorow after school I suppose.

Who is psyched? I'm PSYCHED! I'M PUMPED UP!

Ahem.

More armor, and I'm willing to bet that 'monstrous update' might change a few skills around, or maybe even (gasp!) add new ones...hm... might have to wait until next monday, since Arena.net has said that they would try to avoid changing skills during the ladder.

Ah well. I guess I ought to start hoarding sapphires and rubies for GW: Factions.

ZOMG!!. going to preorder 6 copies of guild wars 2 from different stores to get the preorder items. Also all these changes sound great. Wish we can get a sneak peek at what Chapter 2 really look like. Any news on whether enemies bosses will finally look different from regular grunts?

Major update:
I expect either skill balance changes (start of ladder season) or maybe, dare I say it, Auction House. But most likely skill balance changes, altough not sure which skills it would be...
Or it is the Faction preview event, that makes sense too...

The "Major Update" was the announcement of the Factions Weekend Event I'd dare to say.

Well the last (and only) MAJOR update was Sorrows Furnace which included an enitre new area. Going by past updates, I'd say skill balances and auction houses don't really earn the title major update. We won't see auction houses until chapter 2 I bet.

I wouldn't be surprised however, if the major update was the moving of tombs and the arenas to the "battle isles" in preparation for chapter 2.

The update was announced its is going to be this pre-reslease preview of GW Factions... and possibly "Other" special events", but this major update will probably NOT include new areas such as SF.

As well I would expect spell balance. Hopefully they don't try and nerf SS.

We really need to get some sort of actual confirmation on the number of additional character slots. Hearing the number 1 is very frightening.

I wouldn't expect skill balance changes until after the world championships are completely over. To do otherwise would be unfair to the competing teams.
