Thursday Jan. 19th Update

This update seems... GODLY! It will surely help people in need. However I am a Tombs VETRAN so I know all this stuff already. This update is like an academy. Only thing I didnt know was the auras around each person when they were poisoned, dazed, etc. I like this thing where you fight agaisnt AI. Gives your Guild something to do together. Instead of, the same old same old "wanna go kill stuff with me?" This update toke this game to a whole new level I think. I like the login screen, it seems relaxing, I like the character creation, it makes me want to create another character. This game sure has improved. But however, when I entered my Guild Hall I had 47 files to load, I was hoping they improved it, but however nothing was improved , that is what I can find...

OMG this update is just... ORGASMIC!!! omg omg *jumps in seat for 20 mins* ok i think i'll go back to playing now, that is after i ponder whether or not to attend classes tomorrow 
KvanCetre
I wouldn't attend classes if I had them. But I have a few hours of work tomorrow
I have four characters now... and I have decided I am going to delete one for Friday...
My 20 Warrior is going to face his final day... no more tanking for friends...
I couldn't delete my ele... I've got 15k Dyed Black. He was also my main character. Too much time in him to let him go.
I couldn't delete my monk... we're always needed
I couldn't delete my new necro. Sure, he's only level 13... and we've only been playing a few short days... but... minion masters are just so darn fun.

Miscellaneous improvements:
- When a party leader uses Map Travel in a town or outpost, his entire party travels with him to the new map.
Copied from the 1ST Post
That will only work if all the party members already have been to the town/outpost that you are going to. So now warping n00bs fresh from pre-sear from Ascalon to Droks/Citedale to get their armor.

I have check the game and the upgrades are now up and running except for the Game part. That should start Tommorow. But the login screen has been changed and also the character selection
Mavrik
Awsome update, tried it at home... spent a lot of my lunch waiting for stuff to load lol... but hey. AWSOME by far the best. Log in screen is amazing, the character update window is cool. I logged in with all of my characters to update that. The log in music is cool to. I hope they keep this after the weekend. I have yet to try this boat travel... not sure if any pvp will be done on my part other then to try out these new characters when they become available for testing.
Good one ANET!

So what type of character builds you people are gonna try ?
Not sure if this is the right place to talk about the character builds for the upcoming PVP event, but for me.. I think Necro/RItualist would be the first one I'd give a try. I wanna try Assassin as well but I don't know exactly what's good to go with.

Remove one HEX when attacking a necro. That means any HEX cast from either a MESMER or NECROMANCER is removed if the creature attacks a NECRO. So Mesmers are sort of nerfed also.

Unfortunately I didn't get screenshot of the items others got (printscreen would have caused collateral damage, and naturally they picked theirs up doubletime) but here's a screenshot of mine.

The items are really cool, and those bosses drop 1-3 of them EACH. My eyes nearly popped out of my sockets.... lol. Incidentally, if anyone wants the new green monk staff or focus, I'd be willing to swap for any of the warrior items

Donno if NE one else has posted this problem, I started a thread about it but only one person posted. The Warrior is the only character for the cration portion of the game that shows head armor. I created a Ranger and i recieved no mask, entered into pre and there was no mask on myself or in my inventory same w/ a Mesmer. I dont know if its just a simple bug that they will be fixing or not. I just wondering if NE one has noticed or heard NE thing about it... If you could send me a msg or NE thing about your finding I would be extreamly greatful! Thnx!
Old Dood
We just had a blast practicing in the new arenas. Very cool indeed to practice as my Monk Dood. The new splash screen on up is a great improvment. A-Net out did themselves. All this and no extra fees. Darn spiffy I must say....

Tip for the wurms, if you're an axe warrior, take disrupting chop. The stationary wurms in map 3 and 4 only have one attack (wurm siege). It's slow and easy to interrupt, and since disrupting chop disables it for 20 seconds, they are screwed As for the wurms in map 2, I was using dolyak signet to avoid knockdowns and watch yourself to tank them. Once you avoid the knockdown they will stick to you, and the rest of your team can happily blast away at them. Worst enemies by far are the grasps. It's not just the fingers of chaos that get you.... they also spam fear me, when combined with the energy drains of some of the other mobs you can kiss goodbye to your energy. Eviscerate is nasty too, those deep wounds hurt. Being warrior types, they are pretty tough too, best strategy we found was that there are lots of places to body block them with warriors (I was pulling with my trusty longbow ). Although the warriors quickly get nerfed to high heaven from the blind and energy denial, they've got the armour to take the hits (dolyak + watch yourself coming in handy again) and your mates can then blast away at the grasps with impunity Most of the time anyway.... things get nasty if one ever gets through to an ele
Anyway, good luck everyone with the weekend's activities, and thanks very much to ANET for this awesome new update!

Victo's Battle Axe is a SICKLE skin?
*faints*
I MUST HAVE THAT!
I mean, it's a 6-28, req. 9, 10/10 sundering, +30 hp SICKLE!

So how do we use the keys? Is this so we can have a separate copy to try out the new characters? So we don't have to delete a character to try them out? Just curious.
dargon
yep, exactly, pick a different email address, select the create account button and use the new key.

Just finished UW with an awesome pick up group..3 monks always healed, 3 rangers trapped like there was no tomorrow, 1 warrior tanked...and me a lowly nuker. I only died once as well - which was a first 
Was down to 1 health a couple of time before getting healed up straightaway. 4 maps of progressively harder monsters leading to the purple darkness bosses.
There was no morale - but any dp was wiped out if you kept killing mobs. I got Illyanas Staff...but they dont give you a lot of time to pick up your greens at the end..so make sure you do it quick and have at least 1 slot empty for it at the end!! I think a couple of us actually didnt get a chance to pick up their greens!
Also suggest you take Mantra of Concentration or Resolve against Fingers of Chaos!
Good night and good luck all!

Ressurection Signets recharge after each tier, which was really nice once my second group lost two of its members early, then a 3rd at the start of HoH. Managed to pull of the victory though, scoring two greens for myself.
Thanks SOT for that triumph.

I really like the changes to pvp and the training aspect especially.

Another small update and now we can mess around with the two new classes.
Assasssin and ritualist!
But you can't have any skills or anything. =P I think they're just getting it all ready before the actual event starts.
Nevermind I forgot that you HAVE to choose one of the pre made builds.

Ok... so after this weekend, are we losing that new menu?
Did anyone else notice that you can now choose the default color of your armor pieces when creating a character? doh!
Actually, what is staying and what is only part of the preview? I hope they keep that login screen, it's awesome! I assume that the battle isles that you travel to by boat are part of the preview... but what else is besides obvious things like the new classes?

Bane of Mortality
I'm pretty sure the menu is staying but the Guild Wars Factions ad at the top will go eventually. Battle Islands will remain for everyone, Factions or no Factions. The new classes wont be staying. And about the armor color changing: you've always been able to change the armor color in PvP so unless you're able to do it in PvE its nothing new.

You can do it for pve now.
