Best you can do is watch the update page on the main Guild Wars website... Unless you know an insider on these boards.

Ive been watching that like a hawk, and do any insiders want to be my friends??

ok wednesdays are update days usually. so every wednesday around 5-6 centarl time you will get an update most weeks.
jsut look for them and go to the main GW site to see what they have added that particular week

Id like it if they put a list of things they are working on, or expecting to be in this update. and they probably thought of doing this.
unfortunately there are so many bitching babies in this community that they would get flamed to the max if something they wrote in there outline of the next patch wasnt there.
so we just have to wait until they release the patch.
what I would like to know is, how long are they going to keep this tight grip on the game, before they move on to something else....

As long as they stop generating money for it. Or it isn't making too much of a profit anymore.

Hopefully the expansions will keep it going. I'd hate for it to be abandoned.

I love the way they keep fixing bugs and stuff, i've never seen such support in a game ever before, I love it. I have a feeling this weeks update shall be delayed a day or more, since we havent heard anything from Gaile about anything yet so far.

I have confirmation from 4 alpha testers that there will be mounts and mules. Right now only mounts are usable in the alpha servers but mules should be implemented shortly. Another 2 weeks of testing and they will be streamed to us.

Will there not be an update today (Wednesday the 22nd)?

Be patient, all.
Next week's update should be well worth the wait.

Read the front page. They are telling about a new update coming out. Seems nice to me along with that hint they gave at the end.

The support in this game really, really kicks ass.

So tell me what other game has weekly update and new stuff almost every week.....HUH?......Thats what i thought! 
and, this update has nothing to do with runes, selling system, and nerfing so it doesnt really apply to me, unless they add something else in the future with this update.

On the other hand, there's a lot of tasty material in this update, with more to come in future weeks. Can't wait until you guys see the way it plays with the systems that James described. I think you'll love it.

well, here is the news. or at least. a heads up of news.

Our next major update will be the introduction of PvP Rewards. We know that many players right now are having difficulty unlocking items, runes and skills for use in PvP. On our private test servers, we have been testing a new reward system that lets you unlock items, runes, and skills for your pvp only characters through kills and victories in PvP. You'll unlock things faster if you are more successful, but we aren't implementing this system just for the elite players. Our goal is that every player will be able to make progress through normal play. In that same light, these new rewards are not meant to overshadow other methods for character advancement, but rather to allow you to advance your characters in whichever way you prefer. Because of that, we will continue to examine the rate of item, rune and skill acquisition after ascension through cooperative play. We expect polishing and balancing the new system to take another week and look forward to sharing the changes with you then. Response so far from our testers has been overwhelmingly positive, and we believe this addition will improve the overall experience for everyone who plays the game. One final note: Some of you will wonder if we've forgotten that ascended characters with obsidian armor need challenges too... Don't worry. You're next. ~ James Phinney |

I have no idea what purpose mounts will serve in a game such as this O_o
Jwh6913
maybe they'd be another type of pet, making rangers more useful?
Jugalator
So, to answer the first question clearly: next week. 
Unless they sneak out a patch before this PvP update but I'm not sure about that; the Wednesday has passed anyway.
So next week it's party time for PvP'ers.

Note Gaile said no mounts, but didn't specifically deny mules. We'll just have to wait and see.

LOL. Whats the point of PvE and PvE characters? Just get in a good guild pick your skills and elites you want after a run of victories grab bag style and boom top guilds ownage. Seems like a bandaid attempt to fix pvp vs pve issues. No matter what they do next couple of months are going to suck till they finally give in to complete UAS, UAWU, UAI and flesh out PvE.
Right now they just applying bandaides. Maybe the expansion will finally create enough of a breadth and seperation to warrant PvE and PvP in the same game. Right now they are just trying to keep the PvP crowd which they terribly dissed from leaving. Somebody at Anet is slaming their fist down and demanding unity when the fan base cries separation.
This future patch does creates separation but at a cost of further lowering the value of half their game. This is not separation by equal value but arbitrary separation by exclusion. Who understand their game design anyway? Its broken and their making up as we play it.
Is their really enough fan base for a full on tilt PvP game with a broken guild system? Ya I am ranting but crap half of us agree. More and more all I do is come to these forums and others and think and read and post what this game could be but is not. I should just quit I play most other games and visit forums to read how to keep playing not what I might be playing 1-2-3 months from now.
And obsidian armor? That suppost to be a joke? Its to frigging expensive for 99% of the gaming public nor might I add obtainable by most even the hardcore PvEers.

You're reading it wrong. Since when did you unlock anything for your RP character in PvE, hm? All you unlock is always just for your PvP only characters.

This update will make it so that people who only want to play PvP aren't forced to play PvE for hours on end trying to unlock the things they want. They can instead spend their time playing PvP for hours on end trying to unlock the things they want.
PvE characters are for people who want to play PvE. That's their point, and that's what it always should have been.

Some people might use a fleshed out RP character for PvP or not. Regardless if they do use a RP character for PvP then anytime they win a victory they "unlock" nothing either for that RP character or their PvP characters it seems based on way I read it.
It forces people to want to use PvP only characters for PvP which is fine but what again was the point of PvE?
Now you might say its stupid to use a PvE character in PvP but why? You might say thats not intention of the game. Is it? Who frigging knows. Wait a few months and updates you might be playing a totaly different game. Nobody knows.

I like how PvPers always know what a PvEer wants. Dont worry you will get your UAS, UAWU, UAR button soon enough.
My point is PvE people are not having fun and this is just another reason for it and does nothing to alleviate it. Nothing against PvP I know you dont care about anything but PvP or you like both who cares. I wouldnt be addressing you if you have not addressed me personally.
But if the point is fun, then PvP should be a little closer but PvE is shafted again. GoGO obsidian armor, woot. NOT.

If you equate PvE to the single player experience of a normal game like Quake for example, and PvP to the multiplayer experience you might as well say that all single player games are worthless.
GW only costs the same as any other PC game, why should the 'single player' section have to stay interesting for ever?
I just finished playing Lego Star Wars and I'm not inclined to keep playing that for another hundred hours, but that doesn't make it a bad game.
Sure, if GW had a monthly fee then it would be a bit unfair for the single player story to ever run out, but with a fixed cost I think it's fair enough.
Remember also that there are a couple of new areas soon to be unveiled for PvE players, and there's the new chapters in the future too.

All Quests all missions and now im just waiting about trying to get into Fissure and Underworld and being in Europe isnt often. This is starting to drag for me and many others. Its such a fantastic game to play but once you reach lvl20 completed it got all the 75k armour runed it all up theres not alot else to do.
Just running round looking for elusive Gold drops which are now too few and far between to make it worth while.
The only thing keeping me going and logging in is the new free area due out and the new content update that rumour says first half of 06
Now If I knew when the free content was due out it will then save me feeling like im sitting at the letterbox awaiting that special letter on Wednesday's only for the Postman to come and go without delivering my special letter
and then not knowing if it may be another week before that Postman comes again If you understand what im saying Please give us PVE something to look forward to like the PVP again
have for the next update
