awaiting official notes... concise descriptions. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not looking forward to inserting them on every skill. --Shadowcrest  20:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't be that hard. I'm up for it! [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 20:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see a point to including concise... Its not like it tells you anything notably different. Just less wordy. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If we add them, I'm still up for it >:) [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 20:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How to handle this ? include both texts in template or what ? -- [[Image:merty_sign.gif]]-- ( talk ) 20:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably make a concise template. Or just leave it alone and ignore it, it really isn't any different. --Shadowcrest 20:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What a stupid pointless update. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 20:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its interesting to note that there are 3 parts to a concise description: Duration, effect, and notes. The notes are in gray. The notes are usually like when it ends if it ends early or max effects. Max effects are sometimes in the effect part (blessed signet vs rof). It saves time reading a skill that you don't know in the heat of battle. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, at least they don't talk anymore of 'negative conditions', to bad, I was still waiting for 'positive conditions' :) -- [[Image:merty_sign.gif]]-- ( talk ) 20:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You should be at least relatively familiar with your skills before bringing them imo :P --Shadowcrest  20:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Certain mental conditions can cause people to forget things every few minutes. Finally these people are given their well deserved chance to compete at the highest levels of PvP, as they can now quickly remind themselves what build their running and what their skills do. Thankyou Anet, for bringing in such a long awaited and necessary update. We need less balance updates, and more updates like this one and the one that changed the colour skill templates appeared in chat --Cobalt | Talk  20:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Blub? Anet added content, without announcing it first? RT 20:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, the updates usually aren't up until a little later afaik. --Shadowcrest  20:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

"What a stupid and pointless update" You're forgetting that there are other things they changed. As for the Concise skill descriptions, i like it, it makes GW a little less ridiculous. A lot of skills would do the same thing and would have very different descriptions, which makes it very confusing for newer players. Concise is much simpler, much faster to read(say you're making a new build) and we have the option to go back to traditional if we don't like it. There is nothing to complain about.--D <font color = "#900000">N <font color ="Black">A 22:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Notes or Downside?
"In Concise mode, there are 3 parts: Duration, effect, and notes. The notes are in gray Retrieved from "http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates/20080313" I think that the gray part is downside rather than notes: "Easily Interrupted" "You lose all adrenaline" "These arrows deal 25% less damage" "Spirits are unaffected" etc --Scol 21:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * notes was my word not the update notes... unless they copied me...&mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 23:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Bug
In concise mode, some of the number values are wrong (For Example: Jungle Strike in regular mode has +24, +29 if crippled; Concise mode lists it as +24, +24 if crippled.) -- <font color="#900020">Lann 00:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
