Brand the Bosses Contest Update 10 August 2005
We have increased "naming rights" for the Summer Update: Sorrow's Furnace boss monsters by 400%, and will be announcing the names of 24 winning entries -- 6 Grand Prize Winners and 18 Finalists! In order to allow time for this contest expansion, we will be making the winner announcements on Friday, August 12th. Check back then!

They delay it by two days and everyone cries "procrastination."
With fans like you, who needs enemies?
Me, I think it's great that they're giving out even more prizes than they had promised. Take all the time you need, ANet.

Maybe because that's what it is? I don't know any other words for purposefully delaying something. They're procrastinating so it coincides with the update release. Sheesh

Still... more prizes!

Yep, I think they said the update would be released that date (hearsay, don't take my word for it pureaze). Not saying it's a terrible thing, like some people would read into my post, just poking fun at Anet and their erroneus release date among the hush-hush policy.
I'm biding my time till the update >_< can't wait for it, and the sooner I am convinced it'll come out the better :3

I actually hope you're right on this. Friday would be fine by me...
Well, except that's TV night, thanks to Sci-Fi's new lineup.

New Build! >_< Let's see what it is!

I bet they are sorting lots of goodies for us. Auction house, new characters, more storage, new weapons, quests, missions, skills, guild features....
Maybe even Ascalon rum
We've been waiting ages...i literally have just been staring at my screen and glancing at the clock for around two weeks or so...sad i know.
I just hope it's worth waiting for.

so there will be 6 bosses? won't this mean that some of the classes will have either more chances to cap or their bosses will spawn more often. unless there are some names that can be used for all classes but from memory i can't remember any previous examples of this in GW.

Where'd she say that? ..Just curious..

Does anyone find it annoying that they "increase ... by 400%" by increasing by 300%? Maybe it's the pedant in me, but increasing something to 400% of it's original value is only a 300% increase, as it started at 100%.

Gaile said the update DEFINITALY won't be this week, for sure =/
I'm just hoping those new bosses are carrying brand new, tasty elite skills ^^;
Elite Necromancer summoning skill, anyone? How about... ::gasp:: ... A second sword elite?

This is a major update, certainly larger than I saw in the games I played with those periodic or monthly updates. But it is not intended to replace a new chapter, which will be huge. I don't know how else to explain it other than to say there will be a lot to see and do and experience in the live update. Focus: The development of this area does not in any way mean we're not attending to concerns in other areas of the game. There are many small teams working on the game, and putting in the Summer Update will not forestall PvP changes, development of Chapter 2, or finalization of our plans for the global tournament. Hope this is helpful information, and thanks to those who had such positive comments to make. |
