Talk:Game updates/20061025

First to notice ArenaNet's hidden update! I expect there are a lot more. The alcohol disclaimer is quite funny. --Zinger314 22:50, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Another hidden update: Spirit Bond has been nerfed so it only lasts for the next 10 attacks or spells. PedroPickles 22:53, 25 October 2006 (CDT) (forgot to log in lol)

Seems to be a big issue with staffs at the moment. Lots of them seems to have lost +energy and +1 to skills mods. Ghial's for example is now only energy+10, and HCT/HSR 20%. --Kanga 22:54, 25 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Gaile has confirmed on Guru that is a bug and it will be fixed. It's punishment for being a staff-noob. --Zinger314 23:02, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

I overwrote what was there. I believe my version was better formatted. --Karlos 23:14, 25 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Did you remove the GuildWiki notes that had been added on purpose or on accident? Kamiawolf 23:19, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

armor bug
when you log in it and it shows your character it shows random colors for armor and starter looking armor wondering if this made you lose your armor or the bug goes away later 67.72.98.84 23:35, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * This seems to happen with updates that affect armour. It doesn't mean anything, log out and back in again and you should be fine. --[[Image:SmallMapleLeaf.jpg|User:ImbrilShadowfire]] Imbril Shadowfire  23:37, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Or do what I did, panic about your assassin's purple armor and wait for it to fix itself while you panic. Takes about fifteen seconds-ish. --Armond Warblade (talk) 23:38, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Skill bar bug
Is anyone else's skill bar really pixellated/fuzzy? &mdash; kyrasantae   23:38, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Green staff issues
there are currently numerous issues with green staffs, such as them missing important upgrades ( such as Illyana's missing 30hp and 5 energy.) There is talk this is a bug being corrected.

also, NEW FEATURE : You can now control click your skillbar to say all the skills you are currently carrying in your selected chat.


 * New feature is mentioned. Green staff bug is confirmed a bug. As I type this I'm waiting to get back in as an "emergency build update" is being applied. (They kinda kicked me off without warning and are messing with the system.) --Armond Warblade (talk) 00:11, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I confirm some kind of rollback is underway, i got booted too, and my GW client is "rebuilding (something or other, the font is too big to fit the small window)"(talk).

SS Scatter
I don't agree that the update causes SS scatter. I was just w/ a 55 in UW trying to work out a new 2 man strategy. We were able to make some progress (cleared AAtxes and Grasps). I had SS on multiple foes several times and they didn't scatter. Instead, what seems to happen is they go after the foe causing damage to them.


 * Huh... They scattered for me... But I was the 55, not the SS. Perhaps it was something else one of us cast...? Could have been me starting up Symbol of Wrath or whatever it's called (looks like a blue mushroom cloud). --Armond Warblade (talk) 00:12, 26 October 2006 (CDT)


 * My guess is that the enemy AI change is making them scatter regardless of what skills you use. --[[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]]Tadjinar &#91;talk&#93; 00:19, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Expertise no longer affects...

 * Non-Ranger stances.
 * Non-Ranger shouts.
 * Non-Ranger non-touch skills, such as Critical Eye.
 * Chants, Echoes, and Forms, assuming it did before.
 * Glyphs.
 * Signets under the influence of Primal Echoes.

Am I forgetting anything? Not that there isn't enough to cry about already....in particular, Non-Ranger Stances.... :( Arshay Duskbrow 00:18, 26 October 2006 (CDT)


 * So, wait, Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Bite aren't affected? --Armond Warblade (talk) 00:22, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Oh no, of course not...nevermind that "touch skill" isn't actually a skill type... -_- Arshay Duskbrow 00:27, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Crappy skills
Lmao i love how they buffed some skills that were never used like keystone signet and PnH. Maybe they will actually be used now. Time to come up with some builds. Er... after testing it, keystone signet still takes 20 seconds to recharge instead of 1.--69.181.153.135 00:18, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
