BEST. UPDATE. EVAR. Eldin 02:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

FFS, buncha Guru folk. There's always something you people need to whine about, isn't there?. BlazeRick 06:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

still not seeing how this update helps bots.... Wandering Traveler 17:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Neither, because it doesn't. Someone read "click" and "signpost". BlazeRick 20:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, really need to read more thoroughly (spelling?). In response to 72.183.210.160: You probably got an e-mail back saying you should post it on a forum. You can do that, or PM Gaile on GWGuru or GWOnline, or even leave her a message at this very Wiki. Also, I don't know where you send the e-mail too, but if you're doing it via the NCSoft Support site it ends up at NCSoft. Not at ArenaNet. community@arena.net or some sort gets it there faster. And the best way to help an exploit is by explaining how it works on a Wiki like this. Don't tell people not to try because "lol it probably dont work" if you haven't tried yourself. On a sidenote, Ursan Blessing should burn. And die. And the people that play it too (well, maybe only burn). BlazeRick 20:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Just like PvP should die because it seems that's the only side that gets any attention, right?

Guild Wars is a co-operative game. PvE has no need anymore to be co-operative. And yes, PvP gets attention, but not more as PvE imo. Heck, the whole campaigns are 90% PvE. Heck, half of the updates accomedate PvE. Events, titles, BMP, etc etc. Skill balances, they are centered around PvP yes. Why? Because, in the end, Guild Wars is not a deep RPG, but a PvP game. Also, PvP has GvG and HB, which have pricemoney. That's my thoughts on it. Do with it what you want. Now I'ma stop, cus I feel like I'm at Guru again. BlazeRick 06:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Commemoration

I say we commemorate this bugfix! To annoy the whiners and moaners! HELL YES 03/03/2008 YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE UPDATE EVER! --Tr33zon ಠ_ಠ (Talk - Contribs) 08:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, no dumb skill-balance or VoD updates = win, so yeah, best update ever. (forgot to sign) --‎ Rayd 15:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Bug

The bug mencioned on the notes appear on the last update (February 29, 2008) on Doomlore Shrine to me, so I guess it was then that started it. So I guess the note is on the wrong update. Anyone else can confirm it ? - Kiji 16:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Um, I've never seen the class/group size indicator in Doomlore, or in any other major town. Only in mission and smaller outposts. --Valshia 17:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

From the guru thread[1], this is just confusion, not a bug. I'm removing. --Valshia 18:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Best update ever?

Well? Nothing got nerfed. --Lou-Saydus 20:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Let me see...

• • Lockpicks now fail about all of the time, regardless of your TH and lucky rank.
  • Golds drop rate was changed, now they drop less than 1/10th than before.
  • Zaishen chest now drops only firewater and crême brule (oh, wait).
  • It was changed so everyone in the party gets the good drops, and you only get the white ones.
  • Chests and bosses in HM no longer appear to drop tomes or gold items
  • Dungeon chests only drop lockpicks.
  • Money drops were nerfed.
  • Melee damage now works as if monsters had 40 more armor.
  • Hexes now last less than before.
  • Heroes AI was changed, now they stick together until AoE spells fade, charge to aggro things outside of your aggro bubble, and use they AoE or heal skills once it's already too late.
  • Paragons were nerfed again.
  • Assassins got their skills buffed.
  • People is disconnecting randomly for no apparent reason.
  • People at AB was disconnected suddendly. This of course has nothing to do with the patch and must be a new bug.

I don't remember what else people always says it happened after an update? :).--Fighterdoken 21:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You forgot that now HoH chest only drops flames of balthazar. Damn patch...-Warior kronos 22:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Win Fighterdoken, n1 ^^ BlazeRick 06:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait what? THIS patch did that? --Lou-Saydus 15:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh well, the part about the zaishen chest is true, 24 firewaters/cremes in a row, a tome, 13 firewaters/cremes in a row... No, wait, it's just i'm lucky. Also, this update buffed gaile to have more power over people. --‎ Rayd 20:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

And you can flip a coin 50 times in a row and get heads every time. It doesn't mean the coin flips aren't random. It seems to be a common misconception among GW players that random is the same as evenly distributed, but it's not. One person's results don't say anything about the randomness of something as a whole, and in any random selection (e.g. a coin toss), long chains of the same result are expected, not unusual. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 14:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Sarcasm phails on the internet. Or you fail to understand it. Maybe both. BlazeRick 17:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I got the initial sarcasm, but apparently I was a bit too cursory in my reading of Rayd's comments (especially the last part). I thought they were serious the first time through. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 20:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Translation fix

Looks like this update fixed some weird translations in spanish. Fenrid Doth

Yup, not sure if it was with this one or not, but glad we now have a "single grawl looking for same for mindless destruction of ascalon" instead of a "unique grawl" :).--Fighterdoken 16:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

skills

is it just me or were some skills like Gash nerfed with this update, wasn't the adreniline cost for gash lower?--The Forsaken One 18:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
