 * Archive box'd. That's wierd, I totally didn't get an EC despite that edit. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 't's happened to me too.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]ìğá†ħŕášħ 19:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Aaaaanyway. What do we want to yell about Izzy messing up now?[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I found that topic about wether it was the biggest update quite interesting. So, on that topic: Sorrow's Furnace update was bigger. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Not implementing a skill which deals damage based on how much money you throw at your target. (1g=1 damage) I find this discriminatory against people who just play the economy and never really learned to play the game!--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]ìğá†ħŕášħ  19:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Quote: Is it just me or was this update the largest skill change in guild wars history? I believe it was.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Reading is hard :P *runs* --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Er... did an entire archive come up in 5 days I've been gone? That's ridiculously lame. I can not be bothered to read it all, though I should. --Shadowcrest  20:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That archive took a month to make --Gimmethegepgun 20:52, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, good. I just looked at the section titles, and, not remembering any of them, thought all of them were made about the last game update. --Shadowcrest  21:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

New Build 8/14
New build's available, no update info on main GW site yet. Any idea what it is, if anything noteworthy? - insidious  420  20:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Could just be implementing the weekend event. Although there where about 120 or so files.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]ìğá†ħŕášħ  20:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Might've fixed the shout names --Gimmethegepgun 20:58, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope --Gimmethegepgun 20:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Confirmed, quotations marks are still sans.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]ìğá†ħŕášħ 21:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * (EC) Someone was typing out the update notes in-gamem and there were skill updates. Glimmering mark no longer ignores armor is the only one I was paying attention for :P  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 21:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I love how updating guild wars is like the devs launching a DoS attack on their own website.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 21:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No more guild thieves. And the bodyguard no longer fires arrows with a staff. Interesting.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 21:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Once again...
I'm starting to think that the timing for new updates to be added to the game are directly related to the times when I find myself on an outstanding AB team...--Dosearius 20:58, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol. You get the new build message while in a match ? I hope it doesn't cause people to leave... — TulipVorlax 23:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No one left the current match, but the game won't allow a new match to start if a new build is available.--Dosearius 23:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol, yeah, i was trying to get into the random arenas....--Bastthegatekeeper 01:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Unlisted change
Back at the Zaishen Challenge and Elite areas the IWAY team has had names added to the rest of the warriors now. Before it was only Iziuh of the Zaishen, now there are others. Not really important, but still a change in the game. -- IGN: Angelo Silverwolf
 * Scratch that, doesn't apply to Elite, but Challenge alone. -- Same as above


 * Alwys been that way for challenge afaik. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The challenge warriors have always had names, while in the Zaishen Elite, Iziuh was the only 'named' warrior. Absolutely nothing has changed here.--Dosearius 20:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. Apparently it's just gone unnoticed. At one point the Challenge teams didn't have names, then the IWAY's didn't, then they've gotten them, but apparently... I've just not noticed. Humblest apologies for false pointer. -- -""-

Hmm...
Granted lots of people complain about skills, but what about control options... where is our beloved next minion and closest minion keys? --68.102.139.94 21:57, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And let us choose our minions' targets. Tbh, it's like having an army of devoted undead followers that just don't listen. =/ ــѕт.  мıкε  22:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be too OP if you could choose their target, and they ARE mindless anyway. But a minion display window or something would be good --Gimmethegepgun 00:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree about target picking, but a minion panel would really be useful. It could be like the party panel, but with the degen arrows visible for each health bar. That's the main reason why I gave up on minion bombing, really - it's too hard to switch between minions for spell targeting. 72.67.218.162 17:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's all given to heroes now, since they do it so much better than humans for that very reason. A collapsible "Summoned creatures" panel for minions and spirits would be nice.  Alas, not gonna happen, probably...  Maybe in GW2, though.  (wishful thinking)  However, my minions for some reason do rush towards my first target of the mob (I have to wand it or cast a spell on it before they engage something else), but after it's dead, they pick whatever's next to them.  I'm even able to pull some of them out of a fight sometimes if I run away.  So they're only mostly mindless, but not all the way.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Undocumented update?
Yesterday and today I had to download files too but nothing to read about it here. Does that happen often? --Birchwooda Treehug 05:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * For weekend events it happens fairly often. It didn't always though. There used to be updates waaay back in the day. &mdash; Powersurge360  05:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nowadays I think they plan weekend events weeks ahead, and the game downloads them weeks early. Then when the time comes, some script initiates the event without any download on the day it starts. That's why NPCs and stuff will magically appear and disappear in towns during holidays. In events past there had to be a separate update to add and remove all the NPCs. So in short, I don't think it has anything to do with weekend events. Could just be some random things missing on your computer. --98.213.150.63 05:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I also had at least TWO updates today, none that are mentioned in the notes. And as I regularly use -image, this strange indeed. Last second update: login servers seem to be down at least for me. [[Image:VazdeSig.png]] 10:55, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I had to download to updates to. after the first, i coulndt login because the servers didnt connect. rerun client, it started uploading another update. aftherwards I could get a connection to the servers.Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 12:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * i just got something pretty unusual, it said "balthazar, bless my strength, teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" huh? if this is redundant, i'm going to kick my own ass Omnipresentgnome 14:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * See Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support, and ready thyself for kicking. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 14:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * i never noticed that before xD... so much for that little theory *kicks own ass* Omnipresentgnome 14:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Dito. Had an update again, followed by a login error (058), closed the client and opened it again and another update occurred and login worked. I also do often -image, last time right after my first posting about the undocumented update (just to be sure but nothing more loaded). Also annoying, all the login errors I had in 3 years, always telling me that it must be my connection, my router etc and blah was how many times my fault? Yes, zero. The error messages clearly should be changed and the fault blamed to the right party, as in "Sorry we fked something up, please try later" --Birchwooda Treehug 05:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
