Questions about the GW store upgrade.
1. GW tells me that if I buy a skill unlock pack, I'll be able to buy any NON-ELITE skill from a skill trainer in GW. What about Elite Tomes? Usually with an elite tome, you can buy any skill with a character that you previously unlocked with another character. Will I be able to buy the elite skills in roleplay mode using an Elite Tome if I unlocked them ONLY via the skill pack?


 * Yes, these packs are simply PvP unlocks. Ever since elite tomes were added you could use them to unlock any elite that you unlocked in PvP.

2. Lets say I bought all the skill packs, the item unlock pack, and own all 4 regular campaigns (and if it makes a difference, I also own GOTN and Collector's edition upgrades). Do I stand _anything_ to gain from buying the PvP access kit, or will EVERYTHING the kit would possibly offer me is already offered by my other purchases?


 * You would gain absolutely nothing by getting the PvP kit. DKS01 13:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

3. You play AB, RA, TA, and CM to get enough balth faction to unlock all of that on your own. >.> doesn't take long, through sheer AB'ing I've gotten enough balth faction to unlock every single non-elite skill, all mod/inscriptions, and runes. And as for elite skills, just go skill capping? Get 4 titles and all the elites unlocked for your account, then you have no need for these "packs".76.174.13.77 11:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for preaching me on what to do without actually answering my questions :/ You must work as a consultant.
 * A pretty bad one at that. A good consultant would encourage you to spend money on things like this, and of course, on consultants.  ;)  --68.187.144.197 20:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The argument I make is, how long have you played GW to get that far. If you work for less than an hour, you'll get the money easily. So the people who play insead of work get short chagned. This argument can be used either way. But consider it. RT | Talk 19:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Product Distribution Failed (Code 1751126)
Did anyone get this problem when trying to buy stuff from the GW store? I got it today when I try to buy anything, and just a few days ago it was working fine.

I had this same exact problem.
 * yeah, so did I. Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 17:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Undocumented change
when you ping a condition, hex, refrain, enchantment it no longer says "I have xxx on me". It says "I am suffering from the yyy hex, listening to the zzz refrain, I'm enchanted with æææ." I've had this on my mind for a while and I'm satisfied with the more realistic pinging. Someone please make a note on this Seb2net 18:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Bring Back Mob Farming?
Now with the /report command don't you think itd be better for the GW community to bring back mob farming? I mean with Augry Rock and Granite Citadel filled up again, and with the people that are normally there (runners, farmers, normal people) they most likely will report the bots now that you dont have to go online and do the whole support thing (I know this post is late, but the thought just popped in my head) Shogankiller 18:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

that would make a lot of sense, they introduced loot scaling just as i got into uw and solo farming so i'll be pleased to see it back--Chris1645 20:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that you have a good point...nerfs to mass farming usually were intended to harm the bots. ANet always said they had no problem with manual farmers. Whether this is a good idea from game economy standpoints is another matter though...seeing 5k Rago's Staff makes me cry. (T/C) 23:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 5k? What has the world come to? I was so used for rago's to be sold at 40-70k mark, now it has been brought to down, poor thing. Reverting it would good, as bots are not so hard to report and have banned with the dawn of /report. Since bots can easily outnumber the farmers in a given district or even town/outpost, the economy should return to it's former glory, now the GFCs have to invent some kind of report evading prompts = D. Flechette 23:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Part of the reason for many price reductions is that there are fewer players wanting old items and more players able and willing to farm them.  In short, supply has increased, demand has decreased...so almost anything from Factions or Prophecies is going to have a fairly low price.  Hell, it's hard to sell many items at ALL.  Try selling vamp blowstrings...doesn't matter if you ask 30g or 3k, you'll have a hell of a time finding a buyer.--Carmine 23:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A...blowstring? LOL...I know what you mean, though. I've rarely tried to sell things, but I know how much people appreciate it when I actually buy something. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, blowstring. You know, something you can slavage from a weapon, a weapon modifriar, like sword pummels, staff whappings, scythe snapes, focus whores, and inscraptions. Can you actually join gropes without knowing what weapon modifriars are?  ROFFLE!!  At that rate it doesn't matter how cheap Endoplasms and Oblivion Shrads get, 'cause you're never going to get to the Frogmaster for Oblivion armor.  Your gonna haff to ware Dorks armor, lol.

 * wow --Gimmethegepgun 03:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Another point that just again popped in my head is the economy which i think Entropy start the idea on, with mob farming basically gone, the rare skinned weapons and green prices have basically collapsed, I mean Ragos isnt 5k (yet) but its pretty much on its freakin way, and areas like Tombs are usless to farm now, Anet could delete Tombs and i doubt too many people would get mad, I think if Anet is looking for farming balance, they should bring back mob farming (to at least a testing phase to observe the bot situation) and maybe make changes to Unique and rar skin drop rarity, or nerf some builds taht farm them the A/E solo, i mean the Uniqu/rare skin item builds are going out of use anyways due to overfarming, everyone basically has what they want, and its almost imppossible to sell anything, i remember the day when you could go to DWC and sell 5 greens in 5 minutes at good prices, now it takes 2 hours in a completly full Kamadan ad1 to sell 2 items.  The game economy is basically collapsing.  I mean, alot/some of the players are under 18 and live with parents/gaurdians that limit computer time, ie, they cant do high level dungeons, complete UW, FOW things like that, and Anet is basically making it where you have to be with a real group to accomplish somthing if you arent pro at the game. (sry for the length, hehe, kinda turned into a rant too) Shogankiller 04:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

"The game economy is basically collapsing". Huh, what? It seems your idea of a good economy is that a lucky few people with access to all the good stuff can charge unreasonable amounts of gold for stuff everybody should be able to get for free by simply playing the game. I've never bought or sold a single weapon or upgrade from another player in my 30 months of playing this game, but maybe if people would actually be selling things for reasonable prices, I might reconsider participating in this economy.
 * /nods. One of the signs of a vibrant economy is the ability of the masses to participate. It used to be an entry-level computer system cost US$2000 and a decent system was in the $5000-$10000 range.  Nowadays, prices are about a tenth of that.  This isn't because the tech economy has collapsed, rather it's because the tech economy has boomed, which puts these things in the reach of ordinary people.  The GW economy isn't quite to where it ought to be in these regards, but it's getting better.  --68.187.144.197 00:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with that 100%, with a small caveat: it's not just the buying that must be vibrant, but the selling also. High supply and high demand at the same time. If people only want to buy things, then sure, people will empty their Storage to get rid of stuff which has been hanging around since forever - no new goods are created. If people only want to sell things, then they will go farm and gather tomes, greens, collectables, etc. - many new goods will be created. Both situations alone would be detrimental...there's got to be a balance, otherwise you end up with huge surplus (Rago 5k) or huge deficit (Rago 100k+ectos).
 * GW atm seems to be tending more towards the surplus side because, as someone said, most people already have all the goods they want, and the low prices have not helped that much. Imho I think a good change to stimulate increased demand would be either making greens Salvageable for their perfect mods, or increasing their sell price to Merchants to at least 1k. The former change would cause a massive increase in demand for otherwise obsolete greens and balance out the ridiculous prices of some mods (Scythe Enchanting = 10k). The latter change would cause a massive decrease in supply, with all those old hard-to-sell greends going to Merchants. Either would be a good idea to help out GW economy, I think. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean Unique and rare items arent rare anymore, and people are self funded (they get greens for themselves because its so easy) i actually think a nerf (yes im suggesting a nerf, don't shoot me) to solo green builds mainly the A/E E/A build would do the game economy good Shogankiller 01:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think people being able to get items for themselves is a good thing. They shouldn't have to farm forever just to buy one item. Zefir 03:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * /Agree, greens may come with perfect stats, but some skins...ewk. I like being able to get one of those for a build to function, but in the long term I'll look for a skin I like.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 03:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well of course no one wants to get rid of the fact that you can get your own greens, but life isnt a perfect world, and if it is, it shouldnt be. Even i like it, but group farming is really the only way to go nowadays and 1. many people dont have the option of doing that (not enough time, not good enough, ect.) and 2. There should be more variety in farming, i mean I beat GWEN in 3 days when it came out, i dont want to have to keep redoing campaings and dungeons until another version/game comes out, if there was more things to do i would agree, but I personally hate monotonous work so redoing campaigns and dungeons ist really my thing, and that fact that so many other people redo things like that its basically become like solo green farming, where the end greens (while they still have some value for the moment) are on theyre way down to the ground. Someone metioned before that Anet is leading towards the surplus side of things atcm, well i think its time to lean towards the deficiet side. (btw, anyone have an anti-rant keyboard i can borrow?) EDIT and ty to the person that edited my post and made me contradict myself many times Shogankiller 16:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't claim to know how it came to be, but it seem that the economy switched from "people having overflowing money, and therefor being able to pay whatever silly price for the items they wanted", to "people having about all the items they want" and therefor not buying anymore. I regularly end up selling my green drops to the NPC, hell i'm happy when i sell anything to a player for 5-10k this days! Obviously, the fact the items don't get "used up",relative limited storage space, and the fact that you can only only ever use so many weapons, mean that the market becomes saturated at some point. New players aren't enought to generate an apropriate demmand. 20Nov2007 -Ayashi-


 * i completly agree, and the people having overflowing money was probably due to the bots, i think the thing is now that GW has become so large, so we either have to look for bigger expansions/campaigns or a a brand new clean slate (GW2) -shogankiller-
 * Ayashi, when you mentioned "used up" that made me wonder if a game mechanic from other RPGs might fit GW: that being weapons/armor/items that eventually "break". You can pay a fee to have them repaired, or learn a skill to repair them yourself with materials, or in some cases the damage may not be recoverable and you'd need to get new weapons/armor/items.  Maybe it's a bad idea, but just thinking out loud so to speak on ways to help with the perceived market saturation.  Also buying and selling in GW can sometimes be a pain IMO.  The party search feature helped a little bit, but it's still primarily a trade chat channel exercise and hope you're in the right place at the right time to find your buyer/seller.  I wish GW had an auction house.  Maybe something similar to what WoW has?  Shadowlance 02:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ooooo hell no, lol I'd personally hate that, I mean I dont want to spend gold repairing items every day, and I'm pretty sure other people dont want that either. And I think why GW has become so large is becuase of its uniqueness from other MMOs, like Map-travel, personal worlds, no monthly fee, ect.  I would believe that making changes like that might actually decrease players. i was gonna say somthing else but i dont remember lol.  -shogankiller-

Bug!
Was in the Realm of Torment just now with Herta, Mhenlo, Khim, and Cynn as henchmen. I heard the female Assassin's attacking sounds while fighting. To test, I went to the Isle of the Nameless and killed dummies with myself and the other Heroes who had been in my party - Koss, Goren, Vekk. Didn't hear the sounds.

I guess what I can conclude is that one of those henchmen uses the Assassin model...or it was a bug introduced in the latest update. Or it could have been Terick. Or Scorch Emberspire. Doubt it though. (T/C) 01:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Just tested : Herta has a female assassin voice, but still uses the female elementalist animations. Hayda, at least when she is an NPC, has a female assassin voice too. 90.47.34.34 07:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Probably a line of coding got misplaced or misdirected; the game's looking for NPC voices, not finding what it's supposed to find, and defaulting to the first option it hits ("A" for Assassin anyone?). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  07:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I realized that it is the same for Eve... Who's next ? Zhed ?90.47.34.34 09:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Assassin is first alphabetically, perhaps it thus serves as the default when the appropriate profession can't be found Merick 15:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * That's what I figure. A lot of the time, if you enter an invalid code, rather then simply giving you an error message, it'll just pick the next best thing it can find (otherwise, we would probably have errors and crashes whenever Eve tried to speak, and so on). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  09:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Pet corpse exploitation is a bug!?

 * Because it is.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 03:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Why is it a bug? Its a corpse? so therefore it logically follows you should be able to exploit it, as a minion master. Sorry I dont think there should be differentiation between pet and human corpses......a corpse is a corpse is a corpse.
 * It's because in this update they made it so you can't exploit pet corpses --Gimmethegepgun 05:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Great response. Can we get it so that heros/henches can't be exploited too?  Maybe just human corpses across the board?
 * Cause the all powerful masters of ANET have said it so.
 * Or they gonna be hippies about animal cruelty or something. --Sefre  [[Image:Sefresig.jpg|15px|]] Talk*Cont. 05:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It was because ANet wanted to nerf Tombs farming even more. They couldn't just be content with killing Splinter Barrage... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Am I the only one who B/P'd before splinter got buffed... --Macros 05:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Tombs B/Ping was around long before factions....--Sefre  [[Image:Sefresig.jpg|15px|]] Talk*Cont. 05:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Tombs PvE came just before Factions, when the Battle Isles came. lol. 124.176.223.235 23:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyway, this is probably the saddest update ever. When you kill a level 5 uncharmed animal, you CAN exploit it's corpse - but if it's your pet, you can't any longer. So basically, charming an animal will now turn it into a ghostly creature of some sorts. I wrote a support ticket asking for a proper argument, why ever pet corpses cannot be exploited at all, but haven't gotten a reply other than that my suggested alternatives were forwarded to the dev team. I suggested that an exploited corpse could be made to take longer to resurrect instead, for instance (like, twice as long, or +5 seconds or something), or that a pet corpse can initially be exploited, but if it dies again within the time that the ranger's skills would be blacked out again, it won't leave an exploitable corpse. That would make much more sense. Right now, it's just a deliberate nagging. - Pup
 * Anyone know exactly why ANet made pet corpses not exploitable? What was the harm?  If they thought people were killing the pet purposefully to provide a corpse why not just make pets suffer DP instead?  Shadowlance 22:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, a pet with DP would be an even better minion source, because it would die faster. --–Ishmaeel[[Image:lazyeyes.png]] ping/peek 22:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right. Although I still don't see what the problem was that prompted them to make the change.  If you brought a pet along just to be a corpse, that seems like a huge waste of a skill slot to me.  Shadowlance 01:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * However, it WAS a walking corpse that could be exploited over and over again. A corpse generation skill would be stapled to EVERY mm's bar if they ever made one, this wasn't too far off. And on wasted skill slots, regular PvE barragers bring this and Comfort Animal, when the pet is completely worthless without Beast Mastery. 2 wasted slots --Gimmethegepgun 01:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

under the thumb of Anet now?
In the last few days I've noticed several updates and no word on what has been updated in this wiki. Does noone care so much anymore? Or, like Anet (who tends to tell us little or nothing about updates) do we only post what we're allowed to? Perhapse there should be a third GW Wiki, eh? One still run by players?
 * Well, that's the stupidest comment I've seen in a while. When Anet doesn't post the details of what changed in an update, what exactly do you expect Wiki writers to do, make stuff up?  It's not a matter of only posting what you're allowed to, it's a matter of only posting what you know.  Do you not care anymore?  If you do care, then why didn't you post the details of what was changed?  What, you don't know?

Thanksgiving 2007
Fresh loot!

''According to our wandering reporter, The Scribe, there are treats in store this weekend. The seasonal goodies will drop between 22 Nov 12:01 PST and 25 Nov 23:59 PST.''

Times abbreviated by me. What's better than running around outside to digest all those dinner spoils than sitting around inside, letting a virtual character run around in a virtual outside...71.30.178.50 22:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

11/21/2007 update
Anybody else loose character slots with this update? My factions key got replaced with bonus mission pack and I lost two character slots with it. I sent ANet a bug report already, just wondering if anybody else had this happen.
 * That didn't happen to me. I have eight characters created, so losing two slots would have made me lose two characters.  After the update all eight characters are still present and accounted for. Shadowlance 02:10, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

New enchant/hex/condition ping
now when u ping the daxed condition for example it comes up with 'I am suffering from the dazed condition' when did this change? Now also it is 'I am enchanted with healing breeze' instead of 'I have healing breeze on me'-- 11:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * 15th : The text produced when calling effects on the effects monitor is now more specific (e.g., "I am enchanted with ...", "I am suffering from the ... condition", etc.). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 11:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Guild Café's: Rawr Cup tournament

 * From vague memory, "rawr" = "Rebel Rising", a PvP guild that won one of those monthly tournament comps? --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC) Update: Found this link to the September 2007 GvG championships, guessing Anet are putting together some sort of local "net cafe" competition this guild is organising. (just a guess though 01:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)).
 * Right, this WIDELY publicized event (online) can be read about on guildcafe.com I think. Mr. Mango 01:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Was I the only one really dissapointed in seeing no Bonus Mission Pack update here now? 84.48.184.130 12:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

 * umm yeh the update does i have a picture after we won the timer stoped on 0 and said this verson if guildwars is no longer supported or something
 * Yeah, and then it suggests you to close the game an run it again.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 13:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * when your timer is stuck on 0 and your a lvl 19 in a lvl 15 arena it leaves little choice in the matter....
 * I have seen the timer actually stop when theres a update and tell me to restart, usually it just tells me theres a new build but lets you go on, you never get in more then 1 additional matches tho....--<font color="Black">Sefre  [[Image:Sefresig.jpg|15px|]] Talk*Cont. 14:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When you're in PvP and there's a new patch, it will eventually tell you that your current version is "no longer supported," something I haven't seen ever happen in PvE.

Guild wars website
Is it just me or is the guild wars website down since the most recent update? Seems to be so. I can't log in (Error=58), and Can't report it eiher.

bonus mission pack....
anyone think anet will get their fingers out their asses and give us the dam mission pack? ... not to mention let me log the f**k in.. lame error 58
 * I bet they release it at 11:59 PM. >.> Perhaps the update was so massive that it broke the game, and they don't want to admit it. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * dunno about you but its 12:15am here....
 * What timezone does ANet use, anyway? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * mission pack is up i found reward guys in lions arch i would assume historian is there too im looking now if some1 ants to update pages...
 * sorry for repeated edits but anyway historian is in lions arch theres reward books at end of each misson you trade them for a gold wep much like tormented axe theres tengu weps murrsaat weps undead weps (not like deadbow tho) and charr weps.
 * Wow I just wanted to do the missions, now i can get rewards as well <font face = "Matura MT Script Capitals">Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|19px]] 00:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool! Thanks for the heads up, I'm out for playing now.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 00:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Could someone please help me with this wording and understanding? "For each bonus goal you complete, Durmand will give any one character on your account an additional authorized story. The additional stories can only be earned once for each account." What are the additional stories and how are they only earned once per account? I have already played some of the missions, but I do not want to do the bonus and find out that I can no longer earn rewards for something. If anyone understands this fully, please explain it differently than the way that ANET wrote it out. Thank you =)

Deadly Paradox
Anyone know when it was updated? It now costs 15 energy (I checked), but there aren't even update notes on guildwars.com for it --Gimmethegepgun 00:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, apparently it was today, and the "official" wiki has the update notes, but it's still not even on the site. Anyway, I'm ganking them --Gimmethegepgun 00:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What the hell! That's just overkill, ANet. Now the skill will never be used, by anyone, ever again. >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

And again Anet nerfes the assassin.... 15 energy well i can live with that.... but 25 second recharge for shadow prison - come on - its now just about useless...--XisdedOne 00:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I feel like it's a good update. Mr. Mango 00:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's pretty balanced overall, but that's just over the top for Assassins. Neither build was hard to counter. Oh well, at least they didn't add Exhaustion or other crap like that. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, they have doubly nerfed skills sometimes, glad they didn't do it this time. One is enough, one at a time that is. Compare SP to Dark Prison, they have good comparisons, but nothing huge. It's still a good elite option in that sense imo. (DP is still usable, no? castigation signet?) Mr. Mango 01:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * DP was probably slightly overkill, 5 -> 15 energy is a bit too much for the rollover rate of the skill. Maybe a slight reduction in duration and 10 energy would've been better. Anyway, no more 0 DA sin froobs using it in tandem with FN --Gimmethegepgun 01:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well Anet have said "We will be evaluating the following changes over the course of the next week.", so it's possible they'll tone down the nrg cost. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I really want to see the energy go back down, and reduce the duration and raise the recharge. Encourage using it for just a few skills, you know? Instead of keeping it up perpetually and making every skill you have awesome. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  01:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

What the hell at this It's better using Dark Prison than Shadow Prison now -.-
 * It's better that way, SP needed to be put out to pasture for some time now just so sin nublets would actually consider using something else for a change, maybe it'll be buffed back in the future when sins have experimented a little. Deadly paradox deserved this as well, spamming a 15 energy skill every 15 seconds is actually a concern to your energy, which means you can't just spit dancing daggers all day for the skill-less kill. --Ckal Ktak 18:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It should go down to 10 though. As it is, it's 3/4 your energy regen. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 18:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And that's because it was meant to be used as a temporary measure to improve skill usage after a chain. However, people were using it indefinitely and spamming extremely painful skills. However, a good change would also be to make the percent be based on DA rank, so then people wouldn't be able to use infini-SF and lamer with FN with it unless they had some DA. But, this is a good method anyway, though overkill --Gimmethegepgun 19:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you people would stop using Assacasters then we wouldnt have this problem, nerfs come when a skill set is used to often, now we have two more useless assassin skills. --128.211.236.137 21:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Undocumented storage upgrade?
I just noticed that my storage has increased from three + materials to four + materials, and I don't have one of the campaigns yet. Sure, I'm delighted, but I'm afraid to use it because there's no documented reason for it to be there. A bug, perhaps? --Qrystal 03:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Vaguely recall there was a similar "bug" a while ago, players who didn't own all the campaigns suddenly getting all the storage as if they did. If someone doesn't beat me to it, will hunt around and see if can find some details. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 03:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
