Big Update
It tomorrow? Or next week? &mdash; Powersurge360  02:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Next week. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 03:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * THE Big Update? That's in 2 weeks, I thought.  I remember seeing the 28th come up.  *shrug*  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Update here
New update is live. About 11MB 670 odd files. Hilariously all your characters look tottally different at log-in. Message says you need to log-in for them to look normal again.

 * The silver and gold coin prices are rather ridiculous... For an average PvE character, it will take 108 days to get the large equipment pack, PvP'ers got the elite treatment on those quest rewards.  I hope the bounties aren't all to get elite dungeon bosses, but at least some of those can be ran or done with H/H, as long as it's not Kanaxai/Urgoz/Mallyx on a 3-day rotation... >_<  On the plus side, I got almost all pets now (only missing 5), and half of them are max tier. :D RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 07:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Most disappointing update, ever.
Never been one to complain about updates, always thinking "at least they still care for the game", but this has just killed all my morale to play. GG Anet 83.86.255.105 11:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * And how did they kill all your morale to play? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 12:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * By offering pay to have things... (For me they put in enough free thigns) — TulipVorlax 12:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Most depressing player, ever. C'mon, seriously? Not everything costs money, there's a whole crap load of daily missions and bounties for you now, more character storage, a bundle of new items that you can get daily. Double-you tee eff are you whining about? Because they also gave us the option to buy extra stuff if we want? Get over it will you? If you or anyone else here wants GW2 to be any way awesome, then money is needed. They aren't robbing you, they've put things into the game in EXCHANGE for your money. This is life, money swaps hands alot, so what? -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 22:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You may SLIGHTLY be overrating the "new content", however. The dailies reward you for...doing missions you've already done, killing bosses you've already killed...not exactly what I'd call "new content". Maybe an incentive to replay older stuff, but in and of itself it's not what I would consider new content. Menagerie is nice, but I'm not happy about the stylist being a pay service, as I said, even WoW lets you have that at no extra charge:-/ DKS01 01:37, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually WoW charges you monthly for that service, well that and many others, but they still ultimately charge you. And yes, they have stated that the update was to help increase replay value while we wait for GW2.  Trying to get groups together in some of those areas can be somewhat of a pain really.  Because of that it can allow for certain titles can be achieved more quickly for many players.  And since the next game isn't going to be released for quite a while they could do with the extra financial boost.  Otherwise Guild Wars could turn out to be too much of a financial drain for them.  While not everybody will be happy with having to pay for some of the extra content, it is understandable.  I for one probably wont max out my storage space, or change my characters appearance or name.  But if for some reason you want to change your character to a female and call yourself Loretta, we shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies brother...er sister.72.226.249.89 02:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The difference is, WoW didn't add an EXTRA(that was the key word you missed) real money charge to do it when they introduced the feature. If you were playing the game, you could do it for in game money. Here, we've already paid our "price" to play the game by buying the campaigns, we shouldn't be charged extra for features like these IMO. Honestly I wouldn't use it anyways, I'm happy with my guys looks, but regardless, it's annoying. And yeah, maybe the dailies will make it easier to find groups, maybe it won't, but it's still not new content to my eyes. DKS01 02:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I didn't miss it. The point is, regardless of how you slice it, they're still charging you for those services.  In the past ANET was able to make money by releasing new campaigns.  Since the majority of their efforts are being allocated elsewhere (GW2), they can no longer do that.  Now they have only a few other options open to them.  One, they do as they did and charge for the extra content and piss only a few people off.  Or two, they could start charging a monthly fee and piss a lot more people off.  After all, the major appeal that this game has over others of it's kind, is that it possess no monthly fee.  However continuing to host the game costs money.  So therefore they still need to make money, and charging for the extra content was the only way they could do it successfully.  Also please consider what their mainly charging money for are aesthetic qualities (something most people probably dont care about anyways.  But hey, if they want to, go for it.  I wont), and storage (something that actually does cost ANET money.  Sure it probably doesn't cost them as much as they charge, but like I said earlier, they do need to make money.  Although over time the additional storage could cost them more than they're charging us).  As for the zaishen quests, big deal, that part was free.  They needed to help keep people interested in the game.  And from what I've observed so far, it has.  Although over time some people will probably lose interest again.  But in the meantime, it's working.72.226.249.89 12:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, they're charging you for the game. You are paying the same to use the stylist as before there WAS a stylist, which means you're NOT paying anything extra for them. THAT is the point, they ADDED that as an additional feature with no additional charge. Anet is adding the same feature, with a $10 fee. I'll also point out Diablo 2 and Starcraft are still free to pay after all these years with no monthly fees, if we wanna get on the free vs pay subject. And with Anet proudly bragging about their "6 million sold" on the GW homepage, I don't think they're all that strapped for cash. DKS01 00:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

(ri) Keep in mind that for a while now the price of the game has dropped significantly (down to $10 if you look hard and/or buy combos), so they're not making as much money per sale of one campaign as one would think, considering manufacture, distribution and retail fees. The 6 million copies sold only goes to say that people like this game, not how much money it has made. And WoW has nothing to charge for other than server space (GW server space is still free), and working on any updates, such as the stylist you mentioned. So, would you rather pay monthly to get the stylist you may never use, or pay for it when you need it? Buying all the new upgrades (the 4 storage panes, one normal makeover, one extreme makeover and one name change) still only amounts to 40+10+10+15=$75USD. How long would that last you in monthly fees to play WoW? Not 4 years, me thinks. I'm not saying the prices are entirely fair (some of those should be about half of what they are imo), but I still don't think they should be simply free. And don't bring character slots into this, or GOTY, which was an upgrade for those who owned a normal version instead of the GOTY edition (Anet didn't even have to give you the option to upgrade, but they did). RoseOfKali 05:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I totally empathize with NCSoft trying to make a little extra money before GW2 comes out, but I do not like the idea of them releasing a massive overhaul patch and having it buggier than Windows Me. Futhermore, I am upset about the free storage pane set up, and they really ought to scrap the current process and put it on the in game store. The longer they hold out, putting it on the main site, the more PO'd their customer base will get. I am telling you this, I am NOT BUYING GW2 from the website, especially if this past weekend is any indication of what is to happen. This patch was not disappointing in concept, but moreso in delivery, it wasn't entirely thought through it seems. Way to announce your 6 millionth sell and then bog down your whole site to crash levels by trying to provide a free service there with an obstacle course involved.Why not just take a million dollars, put it in a suit case in the middle of a stadium with ten doors and tell a million people to go for it. Stupid. Furthermore, character altering? Really? To each his own I guess but, it just seems like GW is sinking to the level of WoW.Time to finish my GWAMM and ignore these "panes." Peace, and yes that was a pun. Crovo 05:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, WoW only added the appearance change feature very recently, and people have been asking for it here long before it was a WoW feature(hell, people have been asking for a "barber" or some such here since Factions was released). Admittedly, they weren't asking to PAY for it, but it's hardly a case of GW just imitating WoW... DKS01 05:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

This update is...
...available in the In-Game Store. I'm sorry, why update a game everyone's already bought if you're going to charge for the updates? Stop bothering and go work on GW II. I wouldn't mind if you didn't need a credit card for about half the new content, this is a joke. --> ST 14:13, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The game has been free-to-play for 4 years now. Don't blame them to try and get some funds in, it's been a while since they released anything you had to pay for.  Besides, you don't have to get any of this, it doesn't offer new quests or missions or skills or areas or whatever.  You can live without the extra storage panes, and you can just remake a character instead of paying for a makeover or name change.  The "real" new content, like the Menagerie, Zaishen quests, and the new items are all still free.  The only thing is that the extreme makeover and the name change should have been $5, not $10 and $15.  Storage panes could also use being $5.  I'm ok with $10 for a pack of 5 makeovers, though, that's only $2 per makeover.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, $2 for a makeover is too much. When I saw the update and saw the stylist bit, I was very excited; I scrolled down to see how many plats he charged or if you had to have zoins or something. I've been willing for a long time to pay 5k+ for this (great gold sink, coulda helped the economy), but when I saw that it was $10 I basically said "Screw this!" ANet knows we've been begging for this for a long time, and I give them kudos for kind of giving it to us, but the fact of the matter is that they think they can make a buck by selling it to us, and a large part of the community is going to let them get away with it because they want it so badly. Yes, it's been a while since they released the last expansion. But it's not like they're not selling anything; a Guru thread just announced 6 mil copies sold, and I'm always seeing new "is this game good" threads that usually result in the person buying the Trilogy box set. I'm just afraid that GW, or more likely GW2 if it happens, is going to turn into one of those cheap Asian games like MapleStory, where everyone who doesn't have cash shop armor looks like a nublet, and there's this gap between the haves who are willing to waste cash making there characters look good and the have nots who aren't or can't. Or worse, it'll be Perfect World, where I hear you can't get diddly-squat done past the low levels without cash shop items. I'd much rather see a buyable add-on more along the lines of the BMP, with maybe 2 or 3 new dungeons or missions for $10. That's reasonable; it's a mini-expansion. Charging us for cosmetic stuff reeks of "cheap". Qing Guang 15:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

This one amuses me. For $10, I can get one 16 slot tab of storage space. Or I can get a new character slot, give him a belt pouch, a couple bags, and if you want, a 5 slot gear bag, and get 45-50 slots of storage space. Remind me again why I should buy a tab? And wow, even well, WoW doesn't charge real life money for their equivalent of the stylist. -.- DKS01 20:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * A storage tab is 20 slots. With the largest equipment pack (20 slots), you can get up to 65 slots on one character.  I have 14 characters.  I don't think I'll be buying any storage tabs...  So now the grayed out tabs in the vault just look annoying.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hate how they stuck those in there. They never did that with the tabs you missed if you didn't have the other games! I think they're trying to make it look hideous so you're persuaded to buy them... not gonna cut it, ANet. I'm still not paying through the nose for a couple of stupid storage panes. Rather just buy another slot for that ranger I've been thinking about. Qing Guang 15:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just hoping that enough people have this attitude for Anet to notice that they're not selling any tabs, and maybe decide to drop them to $5 instead. MAYBE I'll consider them then.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've buyed all panes on my main account and got the free one on my others 2 accounts. My first account contain 12 characters and wont get anymore. My second account contain 8 characters and until today, that acount didn't have acces to GWEN. The third accound was my storage one. It's not that i wanted a third account. I made a mistake when i wanted to buy a second copy of Nighfall; i buyed a third of Factions instead. Duh!
 * But now with the new panes, some of the stuff in my storage will get back on my main account. I'm thinking about collectibles and consumables. But since i got too much miniatures (most characters are at least 2 years old), my storage account will stay usefull. — TulipVorlax 05:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Hall of Monuments
I noticed an oddity with the new Hall of Monuments. Nearly all my acheivements displayed in my old Hall was under my Ritualist character. I logged on with her first and toggled over to "account view" via the historian and validated that pretty much nothing changed. Then I logged in with my Warrior character and went to the Hall. His hall was empty as expected. I switched over to account view and all the items my Ritualist had posted appeared. Up to that point it was "as expected". The unexpected part was the Monument of Resilience. It showed my 5 posted armor sets, but the statues were very odd. It showed a few large (normal) statues, but a couple were a Ritualist and one was a Warrior. Then there were a few mini statues displayed also that were about half the height of the normal statues, and one was an Assassin. I took a screen shot but haven't posted it yet. Just curious if others are seeing oddities like this too? Shadowlance 14:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, say you have Elite Luxon armor unlocked via your Necro. Your Dervish can't have a statue of it, but you deserve credit all the same. So you get a mini statue of the armor on the character that got it. At least that's the way I'm understanding it atm --> ST [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 14:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Scratch that. Mini statues are random professions of unlocked armor. --> ST [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 14:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In my case, my Warrior hasn't purchased any elite armor - all were purchased by the Ritualist, yet the Warrior saw seven statues (not five): 3 large warriors, 2 small Ritualists, and 2 small Assassins. Shadowlance 14:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I saw my Sin standing in Vabbian armor, whilst it only has Elite Kurz and Shing Jea (or something else 1.5k). You see the two armors statue when that armor is not available to you I think. Elite Imperial, perhaps? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  14:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * For the "generic" statues, you get a male and a female. For one of my grotto armors I got a Male Ele and a Female Necro.  I do think they could be a little larger, closer to the life-like statues.  And the black heads are a little creepy...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw the little doodads when I went in on my dervish (my monk has Kurz armor). They oughta change the statues to the Doppelganger or something! That'd be cool. Or better yet, now is the time to add in some of those armors they've been missing... I oughta go and lobby for Kurz/Lux for paras and dervs again. Qing Guang 15:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I went to HoM with my war, clicked character only display. At armors there are(mine) warrior primeval , next to it a female ele with ( i think so) primeval. and my war only has 1 elite armor. :S Meraida 04:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Zoins

Zaishen Menagerie
Its good to see pets getting some love from ANET! But pets love to get stuck behind NPCs, especially resurrection shrine attendants. I'm beginning to wonder if the have stalker nip in their pockets. So, what do we get from ANET? Why, a place specially made for pets with so many more NPCs for them to get stuck behind!! And they do :-( Please can we beastmasters have some simple routing fix or some way of getting our pets unstuck rather than having to traipse half the way round an explorable area to fetch them. After all heroes and henches don't get stuck so often. Please, please, please.Thalestis 17:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Perfect, I love a place for pets, but why do they offer pets for Balthazar Factions??? This is just kinda... ANet, thank you, really...--84.42.171.8 17:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason pets are offered for Balthazar faction is for PvP-only characters or accounts who don't want to buy the unlock pack. For a hardcore PvPer it's much easier to spend some faction on this, rather than develop a PvE character, go get the pet, and level it to 20 hearty or dire (think of pets like Black Moa, Imperial Phoenix, Black Widow, Hyena - all are rather hard to get for undeveloped PvE chars).  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * But aren't all pets wolves in PvP matches? What is the point hardcore PvPers of having "prestige" animal companions that can only be fully used in PvE, and then only outside town? Pure PvE players like me rarely get much Balthazar faction, often only what we pick up in festival events, so we have to use gold and those new zaishen coin thingies.
 * I've got a Rainbow Phoenix, but frankly I want my old faithful workaday Melandru's Stalker back :-(( I know I can get another, but it won't be quite the same. Heck, the only reason I have to go to the Battle Isles is to go to the Menagerie! Until now I can count the number of times I've been there on one hand.86.132.149.7 21:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The point is so pvp characters can get Hearty and Dire pets. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh... it seems that you missed the part where PvP players can now get ANY pet, not just the wolf. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I checked this out yesterday morning, and it's a beautifully designed area... they didn't just make it look like a cobbled-together Shing Jea reconstruction. But do you have to actually give your pet away to the tamer to have it appear in the Menagerie? I told her about my Jingle Bear, and she said it'd been added, but I couldn't find it. And there's no way in heck I'm giving away FuFu. Qing Guang 15:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Jingle Bear is located at the very back of the snowy area (once you release one), you have to zig-zag your way up through the spider cave. When you "release" a pet, it will roam in the menagerie in its appropriate habitat, so my rivers are now full of crocodiles, flamingos, and cranes, and my beaches are swarming with lurkers, etc.  :)  You can get any unlocked/released pet back for free from Wynn, with the highest unlocked evolution/level for the species.  So, if you have a level 19 pet, do not release it, get it to 20 first, or you will only get a level 15 back, since that's the highest tier you can unlock with the level 19.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

(RI) Oh, and Wynn will only have pets with tier 2 or higher. If your unlock is only a tier 1 (level 3-5 pet), you will have to find it in the habitat and charm it there. RoseOfKali 19:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Anybody else failing to get 'FREE' Xunlai chest upgrade?
After several hours of following the GuildWars.com instruction meticulously, and using various permutations, I've yet to get anything like a coupon offer, nor can I even select the account to apply it to. Extremely execrable and stupid--why not just give a free slot with first purchase? GW-Susan 04:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Iirc, you have a whole month to get it. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  18:07, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

 * People need to register in the store to go buy GW2 there = more profit for NCsoft. -- ◄mendel► 19:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * That depends on whether or not people have their eyes on GW2 rather than the other big-name mmos scheduled to come out soon. It may mean more profit for NCsoft to to sell GW2 and/or other content directly, but slip-ups like this can discourage customers from future visits. --72.220.202.201 20:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I was able to obtain my free pane but after a long ordeal through the darkness of ncsoft's website. Actually, what worked for me was going to the us website, which works faster and better ( and harder and stronger ). GW-Topinambour 09:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * A few days ago, i wasn't able to get the free pane for the second GW account i linked to my PlayNC account. But today the bug is solved and i have it on my 3 accounts. — TulipVorlax 05:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Anyone know if there's a way to reset your GW account to a new NC-Soft webpage acount? i forgot my name + password from like..2 years ago when i last used it...as far as i know there's no way to fix this..-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon 23:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * well it "looks" like i remembered my account info, but now when i go to link my game it says "that account is already linked to another account" and then sends me back to the same page saying "contact customer support" with a link that takes me to the same page...-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 23:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Priest of Balthazaar undoc'ed change
This may be a noob thing, but i dont recall before this update a little gold bar at the bottom of the Priest of Balthazar menu (under the Skills or mods tabs) that says "Remaining Account Bonuses: 1...." exactly with periods and everything, im not sure if i missed it looking through a bunch a pages to see what this means, but does anyone know what it is? 20:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont see it[[Image:FlowSig.png|floWenoL]] (Talk to me)  20:53, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * well i bought aname change and a make over on friday, but now sure why that would do it... anyways this is what it looks like  [[Image:Priestofbalthnewundoc.jpg|200px]] [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 21:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What about the free storage upgrade? You have it? [[Image:FlowSig.png|floWenoL]] (Talk to me)  21:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * yeah, i got that too [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 21:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * i have it so it shouldnt be caused by it [[Image:FlowSig.png|floWenoL]] (Talk to me)  21:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it just indicates that you have an unspent name change credit. It'll probably do the same for makeover credits until you use them.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * well i already spent my name change, and i have 3 makeover credits, and why would it say it on the priest of balth screen?? [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 22:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Because you still have 3 Makeover credits. See what happens when (if) you spend them all.  And the priest of balth keeps track of much of your account stuff, like all your unlocks, so it makes sense to put that notice there if you have remaining account upgrades/credits.  Where else would they put it?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:43, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * well why would it only show a "1...." ?? and its 2 bucks per credit, so im not gonna use em if i dont need em atm [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 22:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The 5 makeover credits are considered a single upgrade or the same type of item, and you used part of it, but not all. If you had regular and extreme credits left, it would probably be a 2.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 01:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, kinda makes sense now. ty [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 12:37, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please, keep in mind, I'm just speculating, but this makes the most sense to me. If anyone can confirm, this screenshot and information should be added to the priest's page.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I have 5 makeovers (no extreme ones) and i dont see this anywhere. Or maybe i dont look for the right priest ? Does the one in GH supposed to have this ? — TulipVorlax 12:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you looking at the skills/mods tabs, as Shogan pointed out at the top? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Zaishen coin update
They fixed the bug that prevents you from storing your copper, silver, and gold zaishen coins today. You can now put them in your xunlai chest.
 * Great, now I can keep the faction, gold and coins from the hero battle quest. Drag  nmn   talk cont  21:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like they ended /rolling once and for all, too. Qing Guang 23:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * But forgot about /rock/paper/scissors. :P  Lamer option, but still viable.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 23:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The /roll seems like a random thing to get rid of...very glad they fixed the zoins bugs.-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 23:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * /Roll is just so people can't abuse HB wins to do their HB quest today (or to just farm commander points in general).75.92.46.118 23:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What's HB and what does /roll do to it? Also, YES! I've been waiting for this for an age. -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 04:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hero Battles. Whoever rolled a higher number on a 100-sided die got to win and the loser resigned.  This made matches much faster, so you got title points faster.  However, now people use the team color: blue wins, red resigns.  So that update was pointless.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * the fuck? really?-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 16:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Really. It's still considered "match throwing," which is against the rules, but so far they haven't done anything about it, because sooooooo many people do it.  But be aware that they can do something about it, if they so decide, likely a temp suspension.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 16:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be fucking gay. it's fucking annoying to have to get titles up, being able to do them quicker is much nicer.-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 23:26, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's fucking annoying when people curse for no reason and want the Easy button for optional things. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 02:33, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hero Battles are boring and awful. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So I hear. Maybe I'll try them when that changes.  So far I've mostly worked on titles I actually enjoyed doing.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 02:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hero battles are extremely boring. Most boring part of Guild Wars i say.-- Ikimono Needs more Paragon [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 22:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So don't do them. If you don't like them, don't worry about getting the title for them. DKS01 02:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * What if we want r3 for our HoM?75.92.46.118 02:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I missed the part where that became something essential. If you want the title, be it to display or for HoM, do the necessary grinding. If you don't wanna get the title, accept that you won't have it in your HoM and move on. DKS01 22:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Pro tip: if you don't /roll, they leave, and you win. Or, used to anyway. The whole reason for /rolling was to save time, so they wouldn't waste time by fighting if you refused to roll.
 * I don't see why they haven't permanently removed /roll. They removed it from outposts because people scammed with it, they removed it from pvp because people cheated with it, so now the only place you can still use it is in explorable areas/missions. And maybe guild halls. Maybe they should make it so only the person /rolling sees the result, that would have fixed all the problems. --Macros 03:39, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The whole point of doing a barrel /roll is so that others can see when you get 100 of 100. Cope Land 08:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Red Iris Flowers and bug fix to numbers
I've not seen any increase in the number of flowers. The only change I see is that they are already 'dropped' instead of dropping (with that special sound) as you get near where they would spawn. That is to say, the bug fix mentioned has not seemed to do anything to the number of flowers; they are still a pain to find. GW-Susan 14:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I would have to disagree, because before the update I often would only find 3 flowers pre zone, if I was lucky. Now I find alot more than 3 per area. this could just be because I see them more often than I used to due to the drop range, but I sdo still think their numbers are increased. Perhaps some research is needed... -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 15:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree that there's a bug. I've reported it on the official wiki and marked it as a bug on this wiki. (I'm also updating this wiki's iris page with advice for finding them more easily.)


 * MAL: before the update, I could guarantee 5 flowers per run in Lakeside County; post-update (if you'll pardon the pun), it's still 5 flowers (although, as Susan says, much easier to find those 5).  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 15:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I guess it's just that I've been seeing them easier. If I need them I just farm them outside Ashford Abbey. 1 per run which is 1-2 minutes -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 19:03, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Exactly. Before the update, you had to get within aggro distance. Now, you only need to be within compass distance &mdash; much easier to spot them now. Especially in the Village: before the update, you'd have to criss-cross to spot one; now, you can stand in the center to find it.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Went into Northlands solo, which is, for pre-searing, like an elite area (relatively speaking). Only 3 Red Irises -- and yes, goddamn it, I did check thoroughly (spending an extra 10 minutes after clearing all to make sure)! GW-Susan 16:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

May 7th Update
Just noticed you can choose which quest reward to turn in for Zaishen Quests, letting you still get the bonuses for others while you turn in what you want. 75.181.168.70 00:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's nice. Now if only they would do that for every other quest-giver in the game as well...mostly the ones in Factions, anyway. I often want to take a bunch of quests, but I might not want to turn in others I've already completed because I have leftover Luxon/Kurzick faction. :| Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 00:19, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You sure they didn't do it for all quest givers? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe they did in fact. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * thats a pretty nifty change, why would they not announce that on the update page? [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 11:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
