 * hooray! now wheres my tournament points?! jk :P --Franzwald 19:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Use the Force, young Jedi. A task perilous to get your tournament points is. Go must you to the depths of XTH while being unnoticed, only to find that they are all on holidays for the time being ;)--62.235.193.220 11:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Bug or unannounced?
Hey, I noticed that after this update, if you are drunk and you map to a new town, you stay drunk... I don't recall this happening before so I thought it was worth noting. ShoganKiller  15:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That's been in the game for quite some time now. Don't know exactly when it was added, but it's defo not a bug :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  15:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * odd, I could swear it wasnt there last week, but w/e ShoganKiller  Shogankillerflag.jpg 15:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I already said that on the drunkness talkpage, but nobody looked at it apparently...--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 16:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Half a month ago, yeah :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:45, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Xunlai Tournament Points (armor upgrades)
Say I wanted to get new armor for PvP characters. If I bought one, would it stay as an option for all future characters (kinda worth it), or is a (retarded) one time buy?-- Ikimono "My beard is thick."  15:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Retarded. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  15:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ok thanks for the confirmation.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 15:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah that option seemed optimistically viable at first, and then meh. (GW-Kiron 23:25, 8 July 2009 (UTC))
 * I know, I was hoping to have some cooler armor on my pvp characters and then "oh...well that's freaking stupid that it doesn't stay..."-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 10:28, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * They wanted PvP rewards to be unlocks but couldn't correctly code it that way.
 * Such fail...-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 09:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ^ I've said it once, I'll say it again. Those lazy bastards.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 19:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What I think it SHOULD be at this point is every armor set added to your HoM should become unlocked for your PvP characters. Other non-elite armor (like Luxon) should be unlocked as soon as one elite set from that campaign is added to the HoM.  The only thing preventing something like this from happening is their constant moaning about not having enough people on the team.  Bleh.  Takes them longer to whine about it than to actually get it done.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Bug ??
I didn't notice till this update but look at the picture... Big Bow 02:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like one.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 03:16, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Look at the end of insignia, labelled as a bug

"Ghost Forge Insignias created before the June 15th, 2007 update give a bonus of Armor +15 (while affected by a Chant"
 * &mdash; Balistic 04:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Does it actually give the armor when you're affected by a chant, or is it merely a textual bug and it works like it should (with a weapon spell)? --Macros 04:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * just a bug.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 00:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Destructive Was Glaive bugs
guess what? They're Baaaaaack!
 * Attempting to cast a spell with ~20 energy sometimes generates the message and error "You do not have enough energy"
 * -- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 16:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That bug was never gone, tbh. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen it with other skills too. Annoying...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * yeah, it was definitely a problem with savannah heat earlier too. haven't seen if it persists since the nerf, ahem, "skill balance" 98.27.167.100 03:04, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That bug is as old as the game. If you die whilst holding a bundle, your energy bar no longer displays the correct amount. But as far as I know, the game correctly keeps tracks of your energy, and it's only a visual bug. --Macros 06:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There must be some new bug or something, I cast DwG (only spell, had "20" energy left over) and it kept saying "You do not have enough energy" until i had full energy again.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 13:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

stuff that would be cool

 * functionality changes, getting bored again
 * XTH problem fix? i mean? what is going on there?
 * could you guys finish whatever it was you were doing with the HoM? unless its like really cool, id rather you just play with skills.

 * This isn't the official wiki, we have absolutely nothing to do with any matters relating to GW except documentation. However, even on the official wiki, they wouldn't listen to you anyway, they're COMPLETELY out of touch with the players --Gimmethegepgun 03:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a few players need to go over there and "touch" 'em, eh? I got the sledgehammer!  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 15:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got butter, bacon grease, and arousing music! Wait...maybe i'm thinking of something different. I have to concur though, I want a skills update.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 16:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Queue sappy 80s music on Gimme's comment. --72.220.205.217 22:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You're not allowed to touch them, the official Wiki is gradually stacking its Moderator base with Sycophants who protect Anet's image at all cost even though no one (except Gaile) ever asked them to. The sad part is that some of them were (and still are) Sysops for this Wiki and took that job under the understanding that they would remain neutral b/c thats what a Wiki is for. --ilr[[Image:Ilr_d-small.png]](24,July.'09)
 * Ilr, if I understand your comment correctly, and correct me if I am wrong, you are trying to say that Billy Mays should not have died and that the entire fabric of time may collapse the next time a commercial comes on at precisely 12:01 AM featuring a smart new product for only 19.95 (plus s&h) but wait, call now and we will double your order?

PS: I shall now sign my comment: (GW-Kiron 02:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC))
 * No that was a GOOD thing b/c it fully opened the Shlomi Gateway and now the Era of Vince is at hand. His dark nutty tendrils are already weaving their way into every facet of the mists and soon the FAN Scouts will pour in and purge all memories of the OxyPalm'assins. --ilr[[Image:Ilr_d-small.png]](25,July.'09)


 * You guys seem to be going under the (false) assumption I was referring to going over to GWW with metaphorical sledgehammers. I was referring to physically going over to ANet (in Washington) with literal sledgehammers and beating some sense into them Red Faction style.

 * Vince's efforts are futile. His cheesey fauxhawk and fake headset will do him no favors against the new wonder mop guy who gives away knock off shamwows for free with his amazing mops. Soon all who follow Vince will find their garlic cloves being minced and diced in an easily cleanable slap chop from hell. :) (GW-Kiron 19:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC))

Anyone else getting horrendous connection issues and code=007's every 2 minutes? A few other people that i was able to talk to were having the same issue.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick."  01:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I did, had to reboot my box like three times... GW-Topinambour 12:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Getting...so anxious for an update of some kind...anyone else tired of seeing Mind Blast/Distortion eles dominating everything?-- Ikimono "My beard is thick."  19:51, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  19:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Reasoning behind that comment was tucked away in the edit summary. Haven't played GW for weeks (let alone PvP), so I haven't seen 'em at all. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  21:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Divert 'em? Echo DD?  WC or AoG Spike?  Strip their attunement/Kin-armor?  I can think of almost a dozen other elites that are more problematic than M.B... You wouldn't catch me gambling my elite slot on it unless I could always count on the rest of my team having something better to mimic.  --ilr[[Image:Ilr_d-small.png]](31,July.'09)
 * Echo Warrior's Cunning...That's a new one. And MB isn't the reason why MB/Dis eles are almost op.--70.118.200.82 21:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In fact, the reason they are OPed is that they can maintain a 75% block stance for 80% of the time! dun dun dun! (GW-Kiron 02:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC))
 * I get a kick out of the people that think just because MB dominates GvG, it must then be awesome in AB as well. Have fun capping at a snail's pace. Lazuli  04:16, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * LOLWat, they dominate every arena except Hero Battles.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 12:23, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The only thing people, and by extension the balancers, give a shit about anymore is GvG and HA. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 04:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * LOLOL@GvG and HA being the only thing "people" care about. Talk to new people IMO. DKS01 07:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * He's right about the (im)balancers though /sigh --Gimmethegepgun 10:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * @DKS01: Personally, I don't give a flying fuck about GvG or HA, but those seem to be the main things people bitch about when they talk about "overpowering of skills."  Either that or, in some rare cases, PvE (in the case of Ursanway).  Also, what the people complain about really doesn't matter, the imbalancers will do what they want no matter how much you kick and scream.  Its pessimistic, sure, but its true. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 18:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In all seriousness I thought the reason was obvious why people complain most about GvG/HA. (GW-Kiron 03:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC))
 * That's because it's real PvP? Because they are the only forms of PvP that actually require skill to play? Anyone can run stupid gimmick shit in RA, TA, AB (FA and JQ are more like PvNPC) and HB. Go try it for yourself, look at the balanced teams that roll the stupid gimmicks you see in the lower arenas. King Neoterikos[[Image:KNsignature.jpg]] 13:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know if by arena you mean just Random Arena and Team Arena, or if you are extending it to include all PvP, Ikimono. If you mean MB dominates all PvP (except HB), I would have to disagree.  Spending your elite on energy management as a fire elementalist makes no sense in AB where the battles with humans should last no longer than a minute or two anyway, and the battles with NPC's far less than that.  Yes, it has great defense.  But that doesn't cap shrines.  Flame Djinn's Haste is generally all the defense a fire elementalist needs in AB.  So sure, MB is overpowered almost everywhere.  But probably not in AB. Lazuli  15:06, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
