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.

Gotta love these updates. Been nothing but good stuff so far.

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.
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. |

Too bad my 15k a piece druid's armor still looks the same

Added the option of attaching Collectors Edition account keys onto existing retail accounts to unlock the Divine Aura.

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

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

This is definately my favorite update.

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. =)

THANK YOU ARENANET!!!

Bleh, I kinda liked the old system, now there's really no difference between capturing an elite and just having it bought straight from an NPC =/
Darn, they fixed Vengeance too, I was having fun with that bug with henchies ^^
Oh well, hmm, anyone know what the price the NPC trader buys and sells runes at?

I have a question about the new capture signet system. I've beaten the game and am going back through the game capturing elites I have not gotten. I still haven't gotten barrage yet Anyway, from what I remember, the mission "Iron Mines of Moladune" end when you kill Markis, how do I get barrage? Or is my memory slipping and will I have time to get it.

I agree with most of the updates, but what the hell is with the SoC change? It kinda takes the fun out of Elite runs. That kind of pisses me off, Elites should be hard to get. The game seams to be slowly getting easier and easier to play, like how they significantly lowered the level of the boss in the Ranger quest at Yak's Bend. At least they fixed infusion.

Edit: My mistake, Still have 400+ levels to get to unlock all skills

i loved how soc works now
yet, some other stuff was just stupid
if they don't want some people to farm like crazy
LOWER THE DROP RATE
don't make monsters strong as crazy
go try to kill jades alone now they are crazy (i just went to iron mine for cap a skill and 1 jade kills hench with 2 hits)
1 jade killed 5 of my henches and not to mention all monsters got re-arranged
plus now they are bunch of more jade and mursaats in very small passageway
i'm very frustrated atm !! omg they got the whole concept backward
lower the drop rate ! don't make monsters stronger !
i gotta report this right now

I never said I was unhappy with the update. It fixed a lot of major issues. I just don't like how they broke the SoC.
Yojinj
Just wow. Never witnessed any game where the ideas from the common player are made into the game this way.
I herby say thanks and i hope you never stop doing it because some ppl complain always.
I myself ralrly cared about elite skills because the capture system was to casual-player unfriendly. Now everyone can get them.
