Talk:Game updates/20070717

This is awesome. Love the new interface options and the Gunther fix. A-net staff is awesome but 9 Megs? WHAT THE NUGGET?!?!?!?!!?!? Also loving the anti-spam. I'm very tired of it.. Now mayhaps you'll provide a guild recruitment channel? :D --Crimson Remnants - PWN3D! 17:28, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Anyone else just get error 7 when going from euro>america or america>euro?--Diddy Bow 17:30, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * As my dear friend would say, Oh My Pie... It took them long enough to nerf the DoA ;) Good changes all round :D StormlordAlex 17:32, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * OMG! I love this update, by far my favorite in a good long time. The "search" adjustment and the party window changes are not extreme, but it saves me from doing little busywork things. Even the download is quick for me at 300kbps. A lot better than usual. Edit: Bumped myself to where it was meant to be.DavimusK 17:34, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Argh, so slow: ~17KB/sec Zeroping 17:32, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Yeah. This is one of the better updates I've seen.

Looks like there preparing for lightbringer skills aswell. -Fanghorn

Whilwind attack got a new icon?--Diddy Bow 17:34, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, since this update my gw client wont start, i just get to 100% on the loading thing and then it becomes non responsive?
 * Try closing and restarting, it sometimes happens because of my internet connection. Ghost1
 * Thanks, but i've tried that. Also i've tried restarting my computer but still no luck =(
 * Try adding "-image" to the game parameters. (Open the properties of the shortcut to GW, and after "X:\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" add -image to make the whole thing ""X:\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image")

Did this mess up explorer titles for tyria?

I doubt it. I assume GWEN will have it's own explorer title. I doubt Anet would intentionally steal your titles away. And please sign your post with 4 ~s. DavimusK 17:47, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Is anybody else here having graphical issues after this update? I seem to have a 'line' coming out from everybody.

So we can go to European districts now and back? If thats true UW scrolls just became worthless. Antiarchangel 18:10, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Don't think that was supposed to be included. Ghost1 18:34, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

guildwiki notes
the character selection background hasn't changed one bit for me. SOmebody care to point out a difference? --Roland of Gilead (talk) 17:56, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The sky has gotten a bit darker. Ghost1
 * Yup that's it, just noticed it too thanks to comparing screenies :) --[[Image:Roland_icon.png]]Roland of Gilead (talk) 18:03, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I noticed they reverted the order of PvP and PvE characters back to what it was before the last update. It's now PvP and then PvE now.SavageX 18:11, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

New Tyrian Map
Am I alone in saying that the "new" map for Tyria looks awful? The colors of some areas have changed significantly, there are graphical issues (a vertical "bar" in D'Alessio Seaboard), not to mention the two black vertical bars on the zoomed out map... Zeroping 18:05, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Bleh I would like to comment on that but my download is crawling at 4k/s --[[Image:Roland_icon.png]]Roland of Gilead (talk) 18:09, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yuck, they unblurred the unexplored areas, you can basically SEE the path that you go on on the entire continent without exploring it! On a side note, they appear to be running the cliche endgame location: "in hell (or similar) or on a volcano" (note the big island up north, it's a NEW volcano. HURRAH!) --Gimmethegepgun 18:47, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Thank you, Jesus!
This is one of the best updates ever, IMO, i don't see any bad points to it at all, and i gotta say i didn't like the whirlwind attack icon originally, hope the new one looks better. Also, this is just what we need to get people to FINALLY use party search, i've used it a lot, but no one else ever does. Oh and the "Thank you, Jesus" is just an expression, unles Jesus works for Anet =P--Darksyde Never Again 18:07, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm reeeeeeaaaaalllly glad they ffffiiinnnnaaallllyyy made the party frame expand on its own now. I've been wanting that every since I got the game back in 2005!  It was so annoying having to resize manually when player my monk.SavageX 18:13, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Posted bug
This was incorrectly added to the page.

''OMG GLITCH!!!! http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gw017ol7.jpg to reproduce this go on a char in pre searing and do these steps: 1) observe a guild match	 2) press M	 3) click ashford abbey and select the district you are not allowed to go (american for EU players and EU for american player)	 4) you get d/c with err040 5) you get reconnected on a plain empty account!!! OMG 	 (someone plz write this up^^)''

It's actually a bug from one of the previous updates. --Curse You 18:42, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Fixed one thing, break another! Turtles in FA no longer fight!
The Luxon's Turtles in the Fort Aspenwood mission no longer use their cannons. They'll use their defensive skills but nothing else beyond that. Man, poor Luxons! First their warriors go brain dead and now they have useless tanking turtles! The only way for Luxons to win now is to bring a lot of heavy nuking players to compensate for the Turtle's missing DPS. SavageX 18:59, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

New mappings?
I'm seeing the "Clear party commands" key mapping for the first time. Was it there previously? –Ishmaeel ping/peek 19:01, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

PvP/RP filter
I checked, and frankly, it's always been like that. The way it's set up has always been the reason I don't like to use it. --Curse You 19:15, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * For me, pvp chars came after pve before the update. --[[Image:Roland_icon.png]]Roland of Gilead (talk) 19:24, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
