Confirm on Hounds

Confirmation on Hounds? I doubt that's legit and someone is just taking the piss. Nothing on Offical Anet site yet.

Yes it is https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/forums/news/April-24-2012-Update-Notes also confirmed by Stumme at guru http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5681147&postcount=6 --Lordkrall 18:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Also you can check for yourself, they're already in game. 86.147.151.141 19:21, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Are event items droping directly?

No one seems to know whether if cupcakes drop from foes this time or are only for tokens.Yumiko ^,~ 19:08, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Just got one (plus every other single drop available during festivals) --Lordkrall 19:26, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

RIP GW lore

Where are the Fraternal Order of Bakers and Brewers? Where are the delicious snippets made by the scribe? Why is anet making redundant lore and NPCs? --Boro 19:50, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Its a corporate-monopoly on Xunlai's part? ^_^ --Falconeye 19:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Technically, the Fraternal Order of Bakers and Brewers are the makers of the Thanksgiving weekend treats, so who made the birthday cups was up in the air. Though I recall an NPC talking about the "birth of the world through study of the skies" that appears during this event, and in turn who made the cupcakes... will check.

Edit: It wasn't in game, but the Scribe no less! Second Birthday Celebration#The Scribe's Tale - "These celebratory cupcakes have been baked by Imperial Chef Tian, the creator of Canthan Truffle Delight, the dessert created for the Celestial Pig during the Canthan New Year festival." Xunlai stole Tian's job! Konig/talk 21:17, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

This is what happens when you don't have a decent trading system. The eco-money gets hijacked by the big companies! MithTalk 00:29, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

No. This is what happens when you have incompetent and careless developers. --Boro 06:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Lore is made by them, not by players. If they came up with a silly Deus Ex Machina that turned every single creature on Tyria into winged flying pinky piglets, then it would be what happened. That doesn't mean that you'll have to like it, but you'll have to accept it, because that what would have happened. MithTalk 18:36, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I personally agree with Boro. Yes, the developers create the lore. But we the players play the game. Without us, Guild Wars doesn't exist. So it's really a 50/50 split. -- Magic Talk 23:52, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Double Faction

It seems to me that this update added double faction to JQ and FA, 20 faction per kill and 8k per win. Or is it supposed to be like this. leechers.veeber.net 20:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

it seems to be a weekend event of everything for this birthday celebration

Update Problem

Am I the only one thats game keeps on crashing after this update with some error saying 'Unable to execute patch file' every time i try to start the game up?? Ive deleted the temp and dat files, ive set the game to run as admin, Hell - even windows 7 UAC is completely disabled/turned off and most information on google points to UAC messing with the update.

Left a email with support but im totally at my wits end. This problem happends when i try to play the game on my laptop as well so its not a one off issue.

If anyone else has this problem and knows how to fix it then id like to hear it. 77.103.125.11

Tried this ? http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5681275&postcount=5 94.5.171.57 22:09, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

THANKS!! that fixed the problem! now i can stop stressing! 77.103.125.11

"Serious Error" pop up crash?

Anyone else getting this?

nope, not here. all is working fine. Is it a windows error? or a in game error? You might wanna check Error code. deleting your gw.dat file and redownloading it, solves a lot of issues too. if that doesn't help you might wanna post on the official support forum.

DC heaven

since the second update my time online has been riddled with disconections, the longest ive been on is 15 mins before a dc, cant do anything really, even managed to dc while typing in guild chat while just stood in an empty outpost :P anyone else experiencing this, ill try again tomorrow, not worth trying again today i dont think.
