Absolutely wonderful additions.

My favorite is of course, the new signet of capture system. This way you'll never capture the wrong skill. Just kill the boss and choose yer skill, awesome.

Cheers to Anet.

Not only are these great steps in keeping all players happy, most of these fixes came directly from these forums. Do a search on almost anyone of these updates and you will find it mentioned here!

Yeah I saw and loved the changes, especially with the signet of capture and villany of galrath, thats one old mission that I just didn't bother with and left but now I will try since the exp is great! Plus the henchmen tweaks are good, it happens too often that they flippin ran off to fight those monsters again, hell once the mage flew over the mountains...funny glitch.

I wonder what they gonna do about the farming thing though...still unclear what they plan to do.

ANet, you have proven that your ability to give the playerbase what it needs is second to none.

Thank you.

"Changed the way armor infusion quests work. The seer now infuses all of your currently worn pieces of armor, but the infusion effect is slightly reduced in power in order to preserve the intended challenge of the following missions."


I"m kind of worried about this. I know they attempted to fix it so you didn't have to redo same mission over and over, time in and time out. If the reduce the effectiveness of the infused armor how will it make game more challenging. I think even when infused you still got hurt. I fail to see the correlation between making you run through 5 times and keeping intended challenge to next missions by have lowered infused pieces. I don't know how much different damage is as I've yet to log on, but it is something to be aware of. Challenge doesn't come from running 5 times, it comes from other things.

Changed Signet of Capture so that it now targets dead boss monsters. When you use the signet, you are presented with a menu of all of the dead boss monster's skills, and can capture any skill of your choice. This eliminates the need to keep boss monsters alive while trying to capture their skills, and will substantially reduce the difficulty of capturing certain skills that are rarely cast by boss monsters.
Best. Change. Ever.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the change to the Signet of Capture. That is excellent.

Also:

Fixed Henchmen AI to prevent Henchmen from running off after a party respawn.

Wake up and smell the irony. It wasn't a month ago that your kind was whining for more sigils, easier sigils, cheaper sigils, and guess what? You got it. Now it's our turn, so sit the hell down.

Darren,

I don't think he was saying it wasn't a necesary change.. more like now that they have taken a major step in the direction they needed to.. how long will it take before SOME people complain that they still don't have their UAS or have everything they want NOW..NOW...NOW!!!!!

It is an unfortunate fact that there are still gonna be whiners and complainers too used to instant gratification.

Personally I think it's all good what they've done.. and seems like there is more on the way..

Good Job ANet

Its probably for those people with too-much-money who bought a Collector's Edition after buying a regular GW.

I wonder what you can do with the Dwarven Ale in game....

When I log in now it does not show me in the guild roster as online. Has this happened to anyone else?

Nevermind. It's all better. I should be more patient with these things. =)
