Whyyyy

Communing spirits were finally viable... not anymore now T_T Waar Kijk Je Naar 18:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

You could get like fucking 3000 DPS with it, the nerf was completely justified. 67.149.248.3 19:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

It was fun to use, but a necessary fix. --'Mai Yi' talk 19:23, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

2nd update

Any documentation on this yet? --Musha 19:08, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Probably a bug-fix for the first, although I'm not sure what might've been broken. I do hate it when they 007 everyone after an update though. Amitiel 19:13, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

"Ran a build to address usage of residual bugged skills." Can somebody translate this to English? I don't understand a word of it. Waar Kijk Je Naar 19:15, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

In legalise that sounds like "If you abused these skills to farm UW while they were bugged enjoy your temp ban." 66.61.119.166 19:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

It means that they think the bug was so overpowering that they needed to make sure no one could use it anymore. It's not a ban.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 19:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Where do you get the update information? --Musha 00:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Seriously?

You had to stop me in the midst of a WiK bounty and kick me out when I was just killing Vess in HM? Wow, that's service right there. Ghosst • Talk •

Someone in LA said hey lost Survivor. --'Mai Yi' talk 19:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

lol, I have to go back to work anyway, but really, no warning just a great big FU from ANet. Nice. I didn't even have BUH on my bar. Ghosst • Talk •

Yeah, cos they know what you're up to and did it just to be a pain. --smøni 19:30, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

According to their dev quote, they do regularly spy on peoples bars and get mad if you don't play their way. It's kinda creepy. Ghosst • Talk •

Ghosst, do you ever have anything positive to say? You just float around and bad mouth the developers because you, personally, take offense to what they do. Don't be a crybaby, be a trybaby. FleshAndFaith 20:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I used to if it makes you feel better. Most of the updates don't really bother me at all, I just hate seeing people lose survivor and get booted because of an oversight, I think that's a terrible way to treat a customer. I know it's silly to look out for your fellow man and I should be more interested in what makes me feel good, but I'm odd like that. I should be flogged. Ghosst • Talk •

(Edit conflict)

Ghosts are entitled to be grumpy (esp. if their names are typos). More seriously, although Ghosst might have phrased the situation with a snide rank of 15, ANet made an error and expected players (even those without BUH on their skillbar) to pay some of the costs of fixing it. Nothing stops ANet from giving a 2 minute warning before booting ppls.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 20:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

The typo is intentional. ;) Actually, if you're an angry person when you read something you infer a tone from it that matches who you are. I've never actually called any dev a bad name, or called them "Failnet" like alot of the posters who now kiss John's ass do/did. I am interested in the storyline and have fun, I just dislike others getting that shaft because they don't play certain skills, and overuse other ones. I look forward to new content and help other players, but when I get in trouble from trolls for using a bar they don't like it tends to annoy me. If reading comprehension is a problem and you just see hate then I can only suggest further education. Ghosst • Talk •

You might not be calling them names, but suggesting (even implicitly) that people are stupid is an insult. Also, I'm not sure how you could lose survivor if you get booted, since the idea is that everyone is being logged out, unless what happens is just disconnecting people...which does seem kind of rude. --ஸ Kyoshi 22:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Wasn't my survivor, thankfully, although if I'd seen the person I'd offer my condolences for what little it would do to help. People can read whatever tone they like, until you hear the words, you've no idea of my intent. I've made stupid decisions at work, I admit to it. I doubt Arenanet could even apologize for fear of admitting it was a bad choice would have some sort of silly legal repecussions. I voiced my discontent at being booted, it's done with. Dervishes are the new easy mode, awesome. I won't quit over it. As for BUH being nerfed in it's most present form, I understand. Heck, I can even see it getting overlooked, there are too many skill combinations for the TK to even fathom. They probably just equipped it, had it res and figured it was fine. What I said got lost between the trolls pretending to love John and attacking anyone who wasn't onboard. Using "Failnet" is pretty rude, you'll never see me use that term either. Nor will I say, "where's mah fuckin derv update!!" or "nice to see they're not wasting their time." Figure out who says stuff like that and you'll figure who the true "haters" of Arenanet are.

Actually, this is getting long, and this page isn't for our discussion only, so if you feel the need to continue, just move it to my talk page instead. Ghosst • Talk •

I personally do not care

that they booted us all, but could they do it once and get it over? I updated. I have been booted like 15 times in the last 5 minutes. 108.75.73.62 19:23, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, I haven't disconnected at all since loading the game up again, after downloading the new build. My Friends List is still visible, so that must mean I didn't, surely? - Infinite - talk 19:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Unable to log in

Just closed GW for the new build, and now i cant load GW up i keep gettin an error anyone else having this problem?82.22.107.194

Not anyone in my guild. Try running the command-line switch, -image. If that doesn't do the trick, reboot.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 19:46, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Dhuum 0 HP from one Volley.

Well we had fun in my guild with it, ran duo rit and 1 emo full uw in 1 hr 17 (could be faster, wasted some time farming mindblade spectres in planes), had our alts as leechers for chest. Best part next to the dhuum 1 hit 'kill' (still had to get rest full though) was 4h each side solo as rit the horses ran away from spirits think they were scared... Got one mini dhuum on alt and 2 q9/q13 vs.. god i love how the loot system works for accounts u hardly ever use.
thats how we did it:
trio chamber, trio uwg(splitway), duo escort[rt1+emo] - solo wastes[rt2], duo vale[rt1+emo] - solo mtns[rt2], duo 4h[rt1+rt2], solo pools[rt2] - duo pits[rt1+emo], trio dhuum. Got it recorded and will upload to youtube when reencode is done (rt2 view).
endnote: ty anet for having non competent staff. always fun to abuse ur glitches! btw one of my guildmates says he had 14872 damage per second at master of damage with his spirit army, couldnt get more cause u kicked all ppl to fix the glitch while he was trying to pump out more spirits.. gj on that.

I'm sure they're very sorry for your friend's loss. --ஸ Kyoshi 21:26, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

This glitch, while destructive, is not as awesome as the one where people could steal and use monster skills and use them (even in PvP). Congrats on getting a mini, too. I am proud of you, even if no one else is. FleshAndFaith 23:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Do I smell a Dervish update...?

Hmm... - Adark 01:53, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh Harrier's Grasp...you so multiclass.--Wealedout 16:27, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
