Personally, I'm hoping for an increase in faction from arena and tombs, because it is nowhere near the rewards of GVG, and not everyone has a guild. I think maybe 10 faction for winning a fight in the arena and 35-60 faction in the tombs. In tombs, it is often difficult to find a good PUG, which is what most people play with. I got tired of PVE because there are just certain things that are totally lame and boring, such as not being able to use henchmen very well vs mursaat.
Hopefully, Anet will raise the faction rewards because it just takes too long to unlock skills. It takes me roughly 6 hours of PURE arena to unlock a basic skill, and longer in tombs because of down time/losing. PLEASE PLEASE raise faction rewards.
If this is in the wrong forum, I'm sorry.
What are you hoping for in today's update?

We aren't getting a update today
Probably not for a month atleast.

Considering that we have had almost consistant weekly updates from day one, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting one today.

Ignore him. he's a troll.

Higher drop rates on ectoplasms or obsidian shards. 10k per piece promotes the need for farming and is totally against what Anet claims it stands for.
CleverAlias
Yeah, didn't they lower the drop rates for shards and globs a while ago?

I fail to see how it's spamming. After browsing the front page of riverside inn this is the ONLY update thread.

I wasn't trying to be mean, and btw there are a lot of update idea threads. pretty much every single one in sardelac sanitarium is an update idea thread.

I hope we don't get an update today. No, not until next week. Because I soooo looooovvveeeeee reading internopsp's moan and whine threads about Anet not updating every single week because that's the only thing that will make him/her happy. 
/end sarcasm
Any addition Anet can provide would be welcome. I enjoy playing it now, I'll most likely enjoy playing it after another patch.

Anything will be just great, whether it's this week, next week, or next month.

While it would be nice to see that 15k Druid Set, I have no means of actually affording one...so it might even be better if Anet can hold off on that. =P
What I'd love to see updated perhaps showing the caster or team what the AoE range is when a spell is cast. Sucks to drop healing spring on a team, only to find that they're a shoulder's length away from the range. It doesn't have to be a glaring spot on the environment map...maybe even just a small ping on the compass map. Like when dropping the Sceptre of Orr. That was nice and handy.

I'm also hoping for a small increase in faction points for PvP battles. I think ANet did the right thing by setting them low though. It's better to set low and have to adjust up, than set it too high and have to bring it down. Could you imagine the deluge of moaning threads if they had set it high and were bringing it down? Smart play ANet.
Borealis
Sorrows Furnace or Grenths footprint will make me happy, I doubt we'll get either....but heres hoping.

I would have to agree. It would have been a disaster if arena matches gave 20 or so faction points for winning.

Having energy indicators for those in your party would be great. So those who keeps pulling aggro one mob after another CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW MUCH THEY'RE SCREWING THE REST OF THE TEAM AND THEREFORE MAXIMIZE THEIR EFFICIENCY IN PISSING PEOPLE OFF!!!! >_<"
I'm sorry, I'm at work and I'm tired and I want to go home and just play. But ya, having energy indicators for your teammates would be nice.

at least 1 of the 2 new areas would be a dream come true for this kid
KaPe
Who says there's an update today? I don't
CleverAlias
I havn't followed any news on the new areas, and I'm not quite sure what they'll be like. Are they supposed to be like FoW and UW?
WeiPing
Depends on how you mean. In difficulty, probably. In style, they'll be in the Southern Shiverpeaks across from Snake Dance.

Things I'd really like to see:
- Observer Mode
- More spells working like firestorm (didn't Anet say they were going to eventually change most/all those area spells to finish casting even if your target dies?)
Those are about the only two things I'm waiting for right now.

The latter - This is already in effect, but the oppisite way, When the caster dies the spell still goes on. I was facing some Renegade Elementalists and they cast fire storm, I killed them in the middle of casting it, it still went off.

If there's an update: GREAT!
If not: I'll keep playing.
I'm not expecting an update but if one comes, that's terrific! If they need to wait another week, so be it. I'd rather have a nicely polished update with lots of new little doo hickies to find and discover than have them shove something half-baked out the door.

I am just eager to see this new PvE content they said they were working on two weeks ago. I like PvP and all and I do it about 1/5 of the time I play now that i have some higher level PvE characters and skills unlocked. But I will admit honestly and openly I am a quest wh0re, I am anal about making sure I do every single quest/mission/bonus. Although the bonus part has become a bit more difficult since the Glade.

the official word on thisQuote:
| We're still planning to release these new areas, and you'll be seeing a little more of this very shortly. We know there's a lot of players out there looking forward to the live update (either for the new content or the new features such as Observer Mode). Just keep an eye on the site. |

I agree 100%... quality is the key. The PvP rewards system wasn't ready in time, so they waited another week. I would MUCH rather wait another week for excellent material than get buggy, non-functioning crap this week. Case in point... Knights of the Old Republic 2. LucasArts wanted it out for the holiday season, so they ship it half finished... bugs all over the place, unfinished quests, you name it. ANet, take all the time you need. I'm still buying the next expansion.

New areas. New items. New skills.
However, that's been a little too optimistic.

In this update, I would like new stuff. If I read the update notes and there is a list of new stuff that is small and they are things I will never use, I will still be content.
I trust ANet is making the right decisions (on ALL updates), and releasing the new goodies as they are ready and as they see fit. It seems as though they actually give a damn about the community, and for that they have my respect (and my money for the expansions
)
However, many things I would really like to see will probably come in the expansions (Different kinds of PvP being one I seriously want), and that the updates will have little things (but they are still cool, like the dwarven ale
)

My two best hopes:
1) Improved Henchmen AI
2) Fixed refund points from PvP.

I'm hoping they'll return experience point rewards to PvP. As it is, it's pretty fecking lame having folks in the Ascalon Arena with Droknar's armor and elite skills.
Replacing PvP exp would force these characters to level eventually, rather than sitting around farming faction points in the newbie arena.

In case y'all didnt realize, monday was a holiday (for you USA folks). So, even if Anet does still intend on the "one update per week" model then this week would be screwed up anyways. Assuming the they were to play by the "wednesday is update day" then either it would be delayed until tomarrow OR they'd wait for the NEXT "update wednesday".
Anyhoo, I personally feel that they should start stretching out their update windows. Every 2, 3, or even 4 weeks. People are starting to EXPECT these updates and, really, they shouldn't be.
The way I see it, the majority of the people who are eyeballing the update page like a hawk are probably kind'a bored with Guild Wars at the moment and no matter what the update is they will be disappointed and immediately start waiting for the next.

And any caster should know what I meant by the second part - you start casting meteor shower, and then a split second before it goes off, your target dies, the game gives you "Invalid Target", and you're 25 energy down with more exhaustion. They fixed firestorm so it still goes off (hence most people see battles ending with Orion's Firestorm going off
) even if your target dies.

it's 10 pm. do u know where ur patch is?\
looks like today is wallpaper wednesday.
