We are suppose to get a update today but i have a feeling since its already way past noon we wont be getting one. Im sure they will say something like " Update is almost here next week for sure guys

)

I hope they dont do that but im sure they will. even if they release it its only going to be a little pvp update that you get some runes in pvp..... wow that makes it worth it since you ALREADY HAVE ALL THE BEST ARMOR and probably 9/10 people have already unlocked most the runes.........

They need pve updates and FAST

Also it's roughly noon right now on the west coast. I'm fairly certain that they're on PST.

They usually post the update changes on Guild Wars.com after 5:00pm Central Time. I'm not sure when they implement them though.

I don't see why wanting to stick a sword through someone's belly or frying thier brain should be a great social barrier.

I hope they atleast add the tormentor 15k skin with the update.
And drop the "1 15k skin pr update" policy!

considering i am a PVErt only i dont see how that fits.

they announced what was in this weeks update for pvp and mentioned something for pve in the near future

give me 1000 new interesting quests and missions and i will be overjoyed

on the other hand what they are doing for pvp is not hurting me so why should i complain about it?

They already said it's going to be for PvP, and it will eliminate the "without PvE there is no PvP." They pretty much told you that last week.

wah, wah, wah, It's a good thing they don't have an 800 number you can call, because you along with 80% of this forum alone would be calling non stop about updates, suggestions, and rants! Lol.

Um, since when has 'everything' been devoted to PvP? This is the first major update addressing PvP concerns. Like it or not, PvP is the primary focus of the game. If they wanted PvE to be that focus, don't you think they'd have made it a bit longer?

PvP killing is mindless? Opponents in PvP are controlled by a living, thinking brain (well, most of the time, heh) and not a repetitive AI script. In PvE, an interrupter can pretty much gain tremendous ability to control and contain a mob they've fought several times, just by watching its skill chain. For example, in the Maguuma Jungle, I learned quickly that Fevered Devourers open with Deathly Chill, then use Enfeebling Blood, and thereby could Distracting shot them out of it every time without fail, saving my team from Weakness. Its not that simple against a human being.

Also, 9/10ths of PvP players do NOT have all their runes or skills unlocked. Ask veterans who have played hundreds of hours and not hit a single superior.

Intern, judging by most of your posts in various threads throughout this board, I think you may have bought the wrong game for your tastes. Guild Wars is very much not Everquest without a monthly fee. I'm sorry it hasn't met your expectations, but you can't force the game to be something other than what it is.

Or later. Guess it depends on your timezone, but I'm in US/Central and I thought it was even later than that. In any case, it's always been, AFAIK, outside of "normal business hours". I'd be really surprised to see something before 5pm Pacific (7 Central).

A friend of mine says he thought it came after midnight, but I suspect he was just spending too much time in missions and didn't notice the "new build available" message earlier... (EDIT: But if Stumpy's right about 10pm Pacific, my friend may indeed be right about that -- personally, I wasn't paying attention so I don't really know for sure.)

actually there have been numerous updates to both address issues in pve and pvp ... so everyone relax ... when its here you will know. Usually happens at around 10pm pst anyways (Io believe they tie up loose ends and catch last minute things just like the rest of us) ... I'm always on and check every 15 mins.

So please all save this thread from going to a mines bigger / im more important than you whining fest. Both side need some mega work ... and they are doing as much as they can ... patience as stated above.

My experience has been that they seem to hit between 4-4:30 PM Pacific. Me being Californian they seem to post a little bit right before I go home from work.

This is the first update to hopefully actually do something good for pvp (the others have been absolute rubbish). Considering the underlying gameplay and the problems inhibiting pvp and the fact that the core of hardcore gw players are pvp they need to do something fast in order to keep these people.

Pve updates will come in time, don't worry. They've done way more for pve so far than pvp anyway so impatience in that respect is absolute silliness.

I dont have even close to "most" of the runes unlocked... besides, it's for unlocking skills, runes, and item unlocks, or so i thought?

And the pve will more then likely get more quests, and those two new huge area's added... but testing for balancing issues, and placement issues can be harder then many may think. But, i do think it's high on their list, right after this, and the observer mode... but heh, what do i know... i don't work for them.

I'm glad they are adding a PvP reward system. I honestly don't want to drive 2 more characters through PvE so I can have all the skills for PvP. I love PvP and plan on taking full advantage of the PvP-only when this new update comes. I'm not one these hardcore "GW suckerz cause I have to PvE just to show off my 31337 pvp sk1llz." But I don't want to run 4 characters through PvE to be ready for PvP espcially when I still have a lot of PvE to do with my monk and ranger Who, missionwise are near the end of the game.

I think you have that backwards.

Why? Because a LOT of people play PvE to unlock skills for PvP.

I did, and I'm not the only one.

And I would think going out to UW just to slaughter tons of mobs with no real reason would be more mindless than having to think and guestimate what your opponent is doing.

Give PvP a try, you might like it.

And remember, it's because of PvPers that you even get to go to UW.
