12/15 Update!
Bwsk8
Its finally here!
Update - Thursday, December 15
* Added new artwork for the Necromancer's ascended Tormentor's Armor.
* Improved automatic Guild Matchmaking to better match guilds with those of nearby rating levels.
* Fixed sacrifice skills so that a player who sacrifices all of his remaining Health will die. Previously a bug allowed the player to stay alive if he had positive Health regeneration when he sacrificed all of his remaining Health.
* Fixed Whirling Defense so that it deals the correct amount of damage as shown in the skill description. Previously the amount of damage shown in the skill description updated according to the player's attribute level, but the actual damage dealt did not.
* Fixed Spiteful Spirit so that it correctly triggers on any skill use, as specified in the skill description. Previously it was failing to trigger on Stances, Shouts, and other instant-cast skills.
* Fixed Scourge Sacrifice so that it affects the target foe and his adjacent foes, as specified in the skill description. Previously it was incorrectly affecting foes adjacent to the caster.
* Fixed the text displayed when you hold down the Ctrl key to announce the use of Cyclone Axe or Crude Swing.
* Added a new player status choice in the Friends window, "Do Not Disturb," which blocks all incoming whispers.
* Added mouse wheel zooming to the Map Overlay screen.
* Added the ability to review the previous game's PvP Score Chart while in an outpost.
* Improved the Chat window so that it remembers its previous state when switching maps.
* Fixed the Skill Monitor's mouse tooltips so that they don't disappear while the skill is executing.
* Improved the Skill Bar so that it displays warnings of skills that are not compatible with your currently equipped weapon.
* Added an error message that is displayed when an attack skill is used on an invalid target.
* Changed the Customize Control dialog so that it ignores problematic keys such as Scroll Lock.
* Improved the organization of the Start Menu.
* Relocated the Customize Layout function to the Options window (F11).
* Added support for players with non-Korean accounts typing Hangul in the International Districts.
* Updated translations.

But wheres the X-Mas Decoration? Damn it A-Net.. don't they know that WoW players already got their stuffs last week!!
imaginary friend
now we need some pics of the 15k tormentors
Sir Skullcrasher
I need blue in the game!! wheres Blue!
Bwsk8
I'm disapointed also. I was expecting a few cool additions and not just lots of minor changes. Plus I wanted christmas to come.
Sir Skullcrasher
Don't tell me A-Net will tie in the x-mas decoration to the 7 days of christmas crap.. meaning before 7 days of christmas, it will than release the patch!

I don't get why, every update, more people complain about what ISN'T implemented yet.
This is more of bug-fix update, but at least necros FINALLY get their 15k Tormentor's armor.

I'm probably going to get flamed, but the main thing people have been waiting for is finally released and all you can do is complain?
Andy_M
I reckon a few forum members are going to be pretty chuffed that the new necro armour is out.

I was told this is the Tormentor's Armor.
Zobi
I am really glad better Guild matching has been implemented.
Andy_M
What is the big deal with all the christmas stuff ? I don't get it. And first reports of the new armour are.......mixed.
chippxero
Some good fixes there and the armour should stop all the protests in *int 1*
Why do people keep saying 'Wow has xmas stuff we should too' guess what people this isn't WoW just cause one game has something doesn't mean every other game should, it will come just wait a bit.

They did this also
P.S. Only happens when dead, if you are alive it is yellow.

Like Munne ? Surely she had more....spikes and stuff. And it's not Kasha's armour thats for sure.
Eet GnomeSmasher
Haha....and STILL people complain.....

male armor punz.

I'm happy about the guild matching seeing as the guild im in (rank 600 or so) keeps fighting guilds ranked 8000 or worse. I feel really bad when we have to play them.
Shaolin_Steve
Good update - nice tweaks - I like the Necro armor enough to plop down the 75k+!
It's wierd seeing Energy gain displayed for Bonnetis and Balth Spirit. I think that's new - I remember seeing it pre-update for Bow Shot/Axe Hit with Vampiric, but not for the Monk stuff. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

It seems like Anet dug themselves a huge hole with the Halloween update. Now every holliday people expect huge events. Does anyone realize how hard it is to implement updates like that? Still people complain about how they don't have their Christmas update.
Anet should have never done the Halloween update. Then people wouldn't expect holliday updates and complain about them now, and for every upcoming holliday.

The halloween stuff was beautiful and fun but i'm glad it wasn't too long as after the first 2 days of people asking when the king was coming it go old and i started avioding lions arch and other major cities apart from to sell runes and materials.
I think keeping it short and sweet is the way to go.

And also a LOT of people hated the 15k female druids armor.... people will always always see things differently than another.

I didn't expect anything for thanksgiving because thanksgiving is an American holiday and not a lot of other countries celebrate it.
But come this ....uhhhh well (this isn't chrismas for everyone)....... Holiday Season is celebrated by a lot of religions and retailers love it . So if Anet put something in for Halloween you better bet we want something for this holiday season

Theres only one expensive armour i have seen that i liked i think it was a fissure necro one he had spikes coming out of his skin looked sweet.
I use a odd combination for my warrior and never plan on spending more than 1.5k for an armour unless i'd get some better stats maybe in Chapter 2.
glads chest and leggings for +5 energy
knights boots for damage reduction
Lieutenant's Helm for 50% reduce hex times
Stonefist Gauntlets for Lengthens knockdown

They've gone and broken foreign language input.
I can't input kanji or kana at all, which means that I can't very well speak in-game with friends that live back home that have characters on the American servers (who don't understand very much English at all).
Chinese/Korean input seems to be working (totally useless to me). Why?

Personally, I do not like the Tormentors, though I do appreciate that they have finally implemented it so there is more variety. Thanks Anet.
living too die
i have no problem with the update. i was getting tired of hearing necros complain about the tormentor armor, i guess thats solved gj a-net

I'd like to know what they meant by Start Menu. A jab at Windows?

It not bad, just expected more. Maybe because we had to wait sooooo long for it
Here is mine, Darth Psp

Eh. I think it should of been a bit more than that after months of waiting as well. Glad I stuck with Necrotics.. but then again atleast they put SOMETHING different even though Gaile said it was going to look awesome. Oh well..
Sir Skullcrasher
I like the menu changes.
Than again.... wish i got 75k and a necro for this armors!

Nice update, it all sounds pretty good. Necro armor is done, which will finally shut up all the whining necro's. Good work Anet
Chazeah
tormentors looks pretty good actually, and too bad they nerfed the sac thing, it made my life as a order nec real easy sometimes
