 * I think the gist is that ANet can now permaban people / not have to refund their money after 7 days. Some laws in Taiwan essentially made it impossible for ANet to keep these people out. But in the good ol' U.S. of A., ANet can do what it needs to. JonTheMon 22:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I think someone at Anet was bored and decided to read their own EULA which states that the EULA will be interpreted according to US law regardless of the nationality of an offender--Cobalt | Talk  18:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Didn't Microsoft make that mistake in the EU? They can interpret their EULA any way they want, but they can't compromise the sovereignity of a foreign nation through it. Taiwan's laws are valid in Taiwan, American law is not. Utter Havoc 23:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also the fact of the physical location of the servers you play on to take into account. That's why Taiwanese users PLAY of servers located in North America.

 * Beating a dead horse, paras healing WAS useless compared to monk or rit, now...--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ...there's no point to playing Motivation, and maybe even Paragons at all in PvP. Mending Refrain is one of the few skills (for healing) that seems useful now, and even that was nerfed pretty bad. In the end, Mending Refrain's healing over-time is equal to Song of Restoration and Ballad of Restoration combined. -Mike 01:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Song of Restoration didn't need that recharge nerf IMO. It's an elite skill after all.  Not sure what they were thinking...  Shadowlance 01:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * /agree with all of u. para nerfs were uncalled for, imo. in fact, paras need a drastic buff for revival in PvP, and PvE paras could use help too. God, every useful skill is almost gone. Looking like Imbagon really IS the only intelligent option now. And btw, i cant believe nobody is just, QQ'ing about the derv nerfs. The quick activation skills were staples in many builds, they spiked strong and fast, in quick succession. But, in truth i guess its called for. Dervs are still pretty powerful. Still hating them for paras tho...68.187.16.3 02:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Gabe
 * Completely agree, all of the paragon nerfs, except maybe Harrior's toss, did not need any nerf in any fashion. Thank you A-net for messing with the most effective class to make it practically useless in PvP and more so, Hard Areas of PvE. There goes paragon's dreams (w/ only NF) of doing DOA ever.--71.67.243.230 02:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Talk:Paragon confirm statement 3 even further ^^--[[Image:vik.PNG]] ( √ iktor ) 10:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Destruction of the Dervish
Well, they have just officially destroyed the 2 mose universal and useful dervish skills, making them just ordinary attacks. Thus rendering EVERY HA build that used a Dervish or Dervish secondary practically useless. Especially spikes. Also, WHY DID THEY Destroy the paragon's effectiveness AGAIN!?!?! They killed the 2 most useful healing skills the paragon had! Great...just great. On top of that, Obsidion tanks now will have an extremely hard time living in places that have interrupts due to the unnecessary nerfing of Glyph-of-Con.
 * Of all things to buff...Chaos storm?? will that get used even now? no! or if it does, very few people will implement it well.
 * Thank you for buffing fragility. the once semi useless skill, now can be implemented to counter The N/- Contagen HA teams. I'm expecting they'd get raped every time they transfer conditions.
 * Spirits should effect everything. thats it, everything. they are spirits and should not choose to not affect some allies.
 * Death Pact signet had such a significant drawback that it did NOT need to get nerfed.
 * Thank you for reverting Lightning orb back to what it should do.
 * Aegis has recieved enough nerfs. If you're going to make it 15 energy, make it effect all party members period. If you're going to make it have a conditional effect, make it 10 energy.
 * Thank you for nerfing disarm, if a monk or whatever had it, it became another blackout to adrenaline using classes. Now, it's more of a mild annoyance. Though still powerful.
 * one last note, Executioners strike needs to be either buffed or Body blow needs to be nerfed. the skills are proportionately to damage/adrenaline cost. BodyBlow, 7adrenaline, does more damage (and can inflict deep wound); Executioners, 8adrenaline, does less damage (cannot inflict any condition).--71.67.243.230 02:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Keep in mind that it's only temporary.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 02:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Like Wizardboy say, read the official update before whining. Even if they did nerf Dervishes, is that really such a bad thing. (I don't play dervishes personally) If skills become a staple of a build, it makes the things kinda boring. Gawd everytime there's a nerf, it's all whinge whinge whinge, rather than whining about it, why not check the dev update, get some feedback from Izzy and put some constructive feedback on his talk page then THINK about a work around, heavens forbid a new CHALLENGE! --BeeD 02:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem was, no one knew it was only temporary because Anet took forever to update the notes. And what good is constructive feedback? Izzy just ignores it all. --Macros 02:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * At least trying is better than whining about it--BeeD 04:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

lol... They added a quarter of a second to the activation of two skills, and someone actually called this "Destruction of the Dervish". Izzy ignores it all because he's not a blithering idiot. --68.187.147.210 08:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course he's not, its politically incorrect to call his type idiotic, slow for example is better. --[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 08:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Quoted from above "Thank you for nerfing disarm, if a monk or whatever had it, it became another blackout to adrenaline using classes." Wow, I know some folks are eager to brownnose Izzy and ArenaNet and franticly rush to compliment every negative change, but you should really at least pretend to understand the skill you're talking about, or at least have looked at it once before you open your mouth. Disarm was completely useless on a Monk or any other non-warrior class had it, because even before this nerf it required at least a 2 in Strength before it could Disable any skills. Unless you've found some exploit that lets a class use another class's primary attribute, then you're just making a fool of yourself with that comment. ;) ~  <font color="#9300fa">  J.Kougar  12:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He ran a haxed Mo/Me/W with a Signet of Illusions that affects attack skills also. AND echo mending. 71.31.149.63 20:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not that we're all aggravated about Izzy or ArenaNet making negative changes. I'm fairly sure most, if not a small majority, is angry about the lack of buffed skills. Even if it is temporary I'd still like to see some ancient skills get dusted off and see the light of day again, even if only being a novelty build during a temporary update. Or I could be wrong, and everyone is just pissed about their builds being screwed up. xD  --68.6.254.84 21:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of them are probably worried about their builds, but it would be nice to see some buffs to the otherwise useless skills. For example, Foul Feast and Wail of Doom have had some great changes. -Mike 21:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * When I say thank you, i actually mean thank you. pay attention to how it is worded.--71.67.243.230 13:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, i've seen monks running disarm and using it to knock out adrenaline period. It didn't give the skills a recharge timer, but it killed all adrenaline that the warrior had built up to that point.--71.67.243.230 13:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you're mistaken, the skill doesn't work like that. It doesn't knock out the skills or adrenaline... but just because I always test things out before I state fact (just incase there is a bug or something new) my fiance and I just tried it and when his monk hit my warrior with disarm I lost no skills and no adrenaline.

About the updates.
You phail epicly again Izzy, please instead of nerving every single skill in GW try to buff moar for once. Roxas XIII 11:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I am now beginning to beleive those people who said that Anet were deliberately nerfing loads of skills into oblivion to put people off GW thus lightening the load on the server. It all seemed like ridiculous conspiracy theory, but, seriously, so many consecutive updates comprised almost entirely of nerfs, i am beginning to wonder...--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 13:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Makes you think, doesn't it? :P RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 16:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Whatever the nerfs are for, they're not for pve play balance, as proven by Ursan Blessing not getting nerfed. Quizzical 17:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems a bit paranoid perhaps but Anet is most likely trying to lose it's customers, the game is probably not very profitable anymore after all these years and they want to focus more on GW2. IIRC GW leeches off of other NCsoft game servers so maybe NCsoft wants to kill the game? 222.153.236.6 01:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems a bit paranoid? Seems a bit RETARDED more likely. Game companies don't try to kill off a game's audience unless the franchise itself is done. They ESPECIALLY don't try to kill off a game when said game's sequel is due out in a year or so. They want people to BUY GW2 REMEMBER? They're not gonna turn around and try to piss everyone off and make them leave GW1, cause THINK ABOUT IT, the people most likely to buy GW2 are THE GW1 PLAYERS. Pissing off and driving away your new game's TARGET AUDIENCE a year before it's release isn't typically a good business practice. DKS01 01:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Good. 222.153.236.6 02:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with DK. Also, it kind of sort of sounds like they're about to separate PvP skill balances from PvE, which will be an awesome move, because most PvP-targeted balances actually UNbalance PvE. Pretty soon we'll have a separate verson of each skill for PvP and PvE, I think... A bit confusing for those who play both? Definitely. But most people usually don't use the same builds and strategies for PvE and PvP, so won't be as bad as it may seem at first look. *Srugs* RoseOfKali 04:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You have a charming attitude DK, and I'm also fed up with these moronic nerfs. The splitting up of pve and pvp skills sounds like an excellent idea. Elitist Snob 04:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The current changes to the mesmer skills are great. I might consider using them now. Please leave them alone. Chaos storm deserves to be 5 energy. Even npc's run from it. Blackout is simply stupid canceling your own skills. etc.. you get my drift.

My biggest gripe is how GvG skill abuse effects people who mainly PVE. Thanks for listening. 75.104.128.56 06:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Morbid Optics

Simple Theory
Izzy is nerfing everything into pointlessness to make GW1 unplayable so people will buy GW2. Although he is discouraging me from buying it if the nerfs/buffs carry over. And, if this theory holds true, then a more gradual nerf of things would have played over better with the fans. --69.133.105.149 04:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This "simple theory" has been stated before, and it makes no sense from a business point of view. Losing GW1 players means losing a substantial chunk of potential GW2 buyers (which is exactly why we have the HoM.  Thus, this leaves us with our eyebrows up, wondering what exactly are they trying to do... O_o`  As I said a little earlier, I'm guessing all this will lead to a split between a PvP and PvE versions of skills, because no matter how you balance things, one realm will unbalance the other, hence all the PvE players complaining about PvP-targeted balances.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 05:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Another possibility is that Izzy is finally combatting the Nightfall power creep. Unfortunately, it's over a year too late. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Except it's not just Nightfall skills getting nerfed... RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 05:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's because Izzy isn't actually sure which skills come from which campaign, since he's never played PvE. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * More nerfs then buffs lately is because they're trying to tone down some of the power creep. This is a more likely theory. (@ Felix. and you never opened the Skills and attributes panel? It has a campaign sorting option you know...) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 05:38, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Glyph of Consternation
Why did they have to nerf this one? I mean ... as a Dervish Raptor Hatchling Farmer you need it to fire Mist Form and Sliver Armor because else you get interrupted. And since re-using the Glyph can be interrupted you are more or less depending on luck with your timing now. This setup allowed all classes with Elementalist secondary to farm the Hatchlings - now this has become the exclusive domain of A/E or E/A because you need Shadow Form. This is seriously distorting the balance again and again favours certain classes for farming instead of allowing more classes to become farmers.79.216.222.117 06:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Glyph of Concentration was nerfed because it gave PvP spikes a disproportionate chance of success. Being unable to interrupt a crucial spike chain was too much in favour of the attacker, according to Izzy. --[[Image:Scottie_bow.jpg|19px]]  Scottie_theNerd  (argue)  07:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So we will see a nerf of Mantra of Resolve next?79.216.222.117
 * They have no reason to nerf this at this moment in time.. and there is a differnace between the Glyph And Mantra, the main 1 being that

 * We already updated all the skill templates, and will be reverting them when the time comes. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 03:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Prophecies end-game items? Sounds cool.  Time to go play Hell's Precipice again.  Shadowlance 19:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems to be bugged atm (at least for me and my party) upon completion of the mission, Drok's loads, then immediately ports you back to hell's precipice. No end game area or items. Yggdrasil 19:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice coding from a-net. A wasted 20 mins :( Lord of all tyria 19:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea lol, im glad i checked the updates first before going to do it. Any1 got a list of what these new items are? 68.230.145.127 20:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

On the plus side, Spirit Bond was fixed (allegedly) => gr8 news! The larry 20:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Same results here - no collector NPC yet. Apparently a new build is coming shortly to fix that.  Shadowlance 20:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Rumors are about a new UW armor. Believe or not? Fexghadi 20:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a wonderful new bug when trying to trade in balthazar faction at the priests. It's an endless loop of them trying to give you heroes, and you can never get to the screen to trade faction.


 * GW may be bugged up but my luck isn't, since I cant see the new weapons yet I went and turned in my b faction for keys. FDS, Iredescent Aegis, Gothic axe and gothic dual axe, tribal shield all golds.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 20:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * UW armor? O_O *Shudders* Don't even want to think about it after the GWEN fiasco...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * So funny, hells precipeice has 4 districts (English) people really care that much about the new greens?

what If you beat proph 1 year ago
If you already beat proph do you have to beat HP again? Because if you do thats some complete bullshit.Mr Prash 21:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * What would really be bullshit would be if the newer professions from Nightfall and Factions had weapons for their classes. :/ --68.6.254.84 21:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Why that? Theres a Scythe and a Spear in Factions, too. And Daggers and Rit stuff in NF --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 21:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a spear and scythe on the pic on official page.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 21:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's just annoying when they do that imo. Proph doesn't even have campaign specific classes to begin with. I just think it'd be nice to have a restricted selection rather than catering to everyone. --68.6.254.84 21:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Core classes get way more skills and armor, and STILL have a larger variety of weapons. It's totally fair for Dervishes and Paragons to get this stuff.--<font color ="Black">D <font color = "#900000">N <font color ="Black">A 21:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * All proph has is Core classes. Besides, wouldn't that make these the only Spears, Scythes and Daggers in proph if they did? --68.6.254.84 21:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's true, but the Factions endgame scythes and spears are the only on in that game, too.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  21:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I did that when my mesmer was LV5 in Nightfall- I gave her Sunspear skills from three different professions. I doubt that's what this update fixed though. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * maybe it had to do with equipping and unequipping skills so you had 2 of the same skill, then changing professions, and it would stay? <font color="#220000">ICY <font color="#550000"> F <font color="#990000">IFT <font color="#550000">Y <font color="#220000">FIVE 20:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There was a glitch that allowed you to have a bar of different skills from different professions by some bug from switching classes in Nightfall, only saw it once, but I know someone on the wiki links to it. He linked to an external page he was making called "Sights of Ascalon" and there was a subsection called "Multiclassing FTW" that talked about the bug. Only worked with primary attribute skills. --&mdash; Powersurge360 Melancholia  06:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I wasn't looking for it :P I was just looking at RC on GWW and there were people posting on his talk about the new pictures he put up there, so I figured I'd go look at them and then I looked at the rest of his site, found that, and went "hey, someone was talking about that on one of the game update pages and they couldn't remember where it was! I should go post this link!" So I did :P and that's kinda rambling, sorry, I'm tired >.>  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 04:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Another bug
Anyone else has this that, when they try to click on the X button to close a certain window in GW, that it doesn't work? I'm having this like half a week now. This bug is also present in the Attributes pannel, when I try to lower/increase attribute lvls. &mdash; <font color="#00ff84">eX <font color="#00a2ff">tinctioN 09:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Never heard of it. Could it be your mouse button?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 16:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't think so, since it works fine when not playing or playing a different game. &mdash; <font color="#00ff84">eX <font color="#00a2ff">tinctioN 17:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've had the same prob, not with the X button though, but with other buttons. I can press em, but i have to press at a specific spot at the button :S. For example, the merchants "Sell" button, it doesnt work if i press on the "Sell" text, but if i press at the very corner of the button, it works. And like you, it works fine in other games with me too. <font color="Green">ZombieKing 20:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * For me, it's like, adjusting stacks, where I can't hit the up button, or confirm or anythign, I have to type it out... <font color="#220000">ICY <font color="#550000"> F <font color="#990000">IFT <font color="#550000">Y <font color="#220000">FIVE 21:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
