Update - Tuesday February 28

Fixed unlocking of arenas so that the Team Arenas are unlocked for new accounts after five consecutive wins in the Random Arenas. Previously they were incorrectly unlocked after six consecutive wins.

Sigh, seemed like it would be something more important and impacting

I suppose in the end, it's my own fault for building up the suspense so much, but even so, I can't help but be a little unhappy with it. After all, Anet is the one creating the initial suspense by refusing to give a concrete date on it, it's only natural that people would be excited, and in turn disappointed by the lack of the desired update.
In any case, I wasn't even aware of this bug.

Ah well, good job on fixing it regardless, Anet, it's better than letting it fester indefinitely has some companies do with lesser bugs.

I doubt many people actually cared for 1 or more of the following reasons;
-They already had TA unlocked anyway
-They're PvE players
-The difference between 5 and 6 wins is not really noticeable, especially considering how often people have to ask how many wins they've got on a streak because they don't pay attention

Most people are awaiting with great anticipation for the huge skill balancing, for the better or worse, and this was a real downer to see, simply because it wasn't it.

But congratulations on spotting a bug and having it fixed. Though I actually would have preferred they not taunt us, intentionally or not, with this mini update, it's good to have them working on fixing all broken aspects of the game, both big and small.

You think they could have added this on the day of the skill update instead of ruining people's HoH runs and getting a lot of people excited for nothing?

The skill update is supposedly going to come tommarow, as Gaile said it would be here early this week, and most don't concider Thursday of Friday "early".

Well, it is a fix. Fixes are good.

Now let's all await the anticipated skillbalancing. Hope it comes this Wednesday.

Dear ArenaNet:

Please fix Japanese language support for American/European accounts. You've left it broken for months now, even after my numerous bug reports. Did you set a filter in your inbox so that my reports automatically go into the "Junk Mail" folder of your inbox? It may not affect the majority of your userbase, but it bothers me.

They probably hid something in it. That update was alot bigger than a trigger fix.

The lines in the 'o' score chart for PvP matches were apparently made larger as well, though I'm getting that info second hand. I wouldn't doubt that other minor things have been changed subtly that they've either neglected to mention, or forgot about while compiling the public update notes.

Well.........

Not exactly the ground-breaking patch we've been anticipating. =/

So close yet so far.

Doesn't Anet typically release major patches on Thursdays? Anyway, having a file size over a meg smells very strongly like the update log isn't telling the full story. I'm going to put on my tinfoil hat and theorize that a skill balance patch is coming down soon and an inactive portion of it was fed to us early to lower the server load when the rebalance officially happens.

They also changed the way morale is displayed. The bar is thicker, and it's buggy.

This update appeared to fix the lag issues I was having

And you should of seen the reaction in Draks when the update - "Everyone going whats it change", "not don't update", etc.

At least Anet can expect there site to get get shut down due to trafic when they do the real skill blance patch

like eveyone thought this one was.

If it did fix peoples lag issues then i'm fine with it.
But if not, why bother releasing a fix for this really insignificant bug that no one cares about. Why not just include it in the skill balance update?

Lol...

I was a bit dissapointed. I didn't rush to the gw site, since i was convinced that it was the skill balance. So i selected one pvp char and rushed the priest to see what they updated (was intrested in iway, orders, dual). And i see everything just as it was... Grrr... Let's see on the site. and after i read the update details i was like

"What? This needed an update? F**k!!!!"

That just pissed me. It's like when you expect to see a UFO and all you get is a freegin Zeppelin or Baloon.

Maybe the update included a new server list to connect to in order to solve lag. But that's just speculation.
It didn't solve my lag problems. I still move like a zombie in the outposts and get err 7, 57, 58, etc... while in fow or uw (when us has fav).

I had less lag after the patch too, but I cant say for sure that the patch was the cause or just from restarting the game maybe helped.

Man, I really hope there is one. The lag's been picking up and last night was the first time I got the error that says someone else has logged in with my account. Wrong message, and restarting the game fixed it immediately, but they really need to fix the lag...

Oh wait, ... was the title misleading? I'm very sorry.

Yup it was misleading. You mean March?

Anyway, there was a small update, but no mention of it on GuildWars.com so nothing they want us to know about.
