I'd have to say my favorite update was the one where they got rid of the attribute point penalty..I can't imagine how much it would suck if we couldn't change builds whenever we wanted.

This green update is pretty cool too

My Favorite was the AoE nerf. I know ill prob get hazed for that, but I like that it required some thought to play again.It did ruined some very nice builds but everyone had them and it was a bit lame.

Hmm well SF would have been the easy winner, for all the extra content it added

I guess apart from that would be the Mad King stuff. The rest are mostly fixes/updates/tweaks and sometimes some new items, not a whole lot new content.

The IWAY-nerf update.

Finally, something original happened in Halls. It was a breath of fresh air.

Just one...... Its hard to decide but anyway, I will say one I like in my top list.

Wintersday. I want to see this event in Faction with the Idea I did in another topic (Turtle Snowball Cannons and Gingerbread Juggernaut).

Update: Wednesday, June 8

- 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.

The Final Exodus[FX]

The implementation of faction, Sorrow's furnace/keys/greens/quests.

Those two are my favorites, but I dun know wich is better.



One thing I was wondering is if Anet was saving balth faction for factions, but released it early for player acomodation(sp?)?

There were so many great updates sinve the very beginning that the game changed alot.
If I were to choose one, my favorite would be the introducion of Balthazar Faction points as a pvp reward (it really sucked without them, even at their first very low rates)

It already happened. In the first few months Diversion was so overpovered that it was sick (1 sec cast time if i remember right)

Only hurt farmers not abusing the game and people who couldn't or didn't want to play with other people - Orion has two skills: firestorm and fireball.

all of them really are good i would have to say but one that has the biggest impact would be the attributes i guess.. i totally forgot about that untill you mentioned it.

I did enjoy the snowball fights

and the Day of the Tengu was fun

NOT having to earn back attribute points so they can now be moved freely to change a build instead of getting them back through experience....nothing sadder than misplacing them and having to play with a gimped character to move them where you want them...Whoever made that choice is going on my Christmahoniquansica list.

Despised the AoE update... I don't disagree with it or find it harder to run my builds, but I didn't like it... miss my baltha aura for farming

Ineptitude buff was pretty awesome too

As a MM; I am going to say the MM nerf, it used to be any idiot would grab a couple off MM spells and he is ready to go no with planning no skills. Now you need to pay attention to your health and the minion's health, it's a challenge, also now to MMs can be on the same team.

The removal of 'refund' points for one,
Faction, best invention ever.
Green items rate very highly

Wintersday! I wasn't around for Haloween, so wintersday was the most fun, especially because the rest of my christmas was pretty sucky [/emo]

The AoE nerf made people notice that Necromancers, Rangers, and Mesmers exist.

Well, maybe not mesmers.

There are so many good ones to choose from.

I agree with the OP though I think.

Oh, and Green Items and Observer mode were very good updates as well
