Beast Mastery bug?
Strangely, I've been doing AB today with a Beast Mastery Ranger; for some strange reason, at 13 B.M., when my pet dies, none of my skills are disabled. I know it's nothing to do with the "15 second rule", because I'm getting no disable even on the first death... was this "downside" removed with one of the recent updates? And more importantly, was it intentional? -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  07:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There's never been any disable in AB because there's no punishment for death, for humans or animals. --Macros 09:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Lag
GW has been very laggy this week, i can't do anything on it, anyone else been getting this problem? Bored 22:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been having some issues. Nothing to make it unplayable, but yes, I've noticed it too. Cronus91 23:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Haven't seen any recently, to be honest.--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 00:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment?
Hi! Ive been using this wiki for a long time, but I still do not know how to add a question in discussion. Yes, I know this is insanely noobish, but can anyone tell me how to properly add a comment or question? Ive just been editing the discussion page, and not doing it with the right indents or signature. Help?
 * Hiya. Welcome to the wiki. Here are a few pages that might be helpful to you. :) Request_assistance and Editing_guide. To add your signature, type four tildes, like so: ~ or clicking the signature button. Also, indents are added using colons, :. If you have any other questions, gimme a buzz on my talk page (Click the talk link in my signature and then click edit right up the top. =) You might also want to make your own username by registering and starting up a page in the "User:" wikispace (Check others as an example.) Good luck. [[Image:Bigrat2sAvatar.jpg]] Bigrat2   Talk  23:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok! Thank-you for your informative and timely response! Now I can see what pages I changed and moniter them with ease. Thanks!--**hobo1134** 00:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Tourny points (Feb)
Has anyone got their tournament prediction points for the February tournament yet? Its 2ed March right now and the tourny has started so shouldn't we be able to collect them? Or am I missing something here?

Interesting Little Thing
Me and a few of my Guildmates noticed a new feature today. I don't know if it was part of this update or some other thing. Or possibly from an update 50 years ago, but here it is: When someone is using a skill and you CTRL Click it, it says (for example) "Master of Whispers is using Death Nova" but if you CTRL Click after the skill is used it says (for example) "Master of Whispers has used Death Nova". Just thought it was interesting. --68.46.219.84 07:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Someone mentioned that it might have occurred when the blank calling glitch was fixed. --[[Image:Scottie_bow.jpg|19px]]  Scottie_theNerd  (argue)  08:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was probably with the last update if not a little earlier. I noticed it just yesterday in game, and I'm quite sure it wasn't up a few days before that. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  08:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * YESSSS! I've been waiting for this for a LONG time! Great job ANet! -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 13:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey look, it's Gem! --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  13:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Bah, this wasn't what I understood it was. I thought that you could ctrl-click skills on your bar that are recharging, but it just meant that skills that have been used get this when you have someone selected and ctrl-click on the skill that they've used in the skill monitor. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 00:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that would be something to hope for... "Meteor Shower is recharging!", etc. Is it already added to Gaile's Suggestions page? Would be a nice one to add if it's not already there. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  01:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I would prefer wording like "My skillname is not fully charged yet" or so. But this is really a good idea because there's often people who treat you of noob for not doing (another) shower or anything as if it's our fault it's taking some time to be usable again. TulipVorlax 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's just a slightly different message when you complete the casting, witch doesn't change much, or at least I can't find any big uses for it... "my skill is recharging!" is still needed, and was since the start of Guild Wars :/ &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 03:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Along with that, we could do with a "I am enchanted with Healing Breeze for 3 more seconds" or perhaps even just "I am enchanted with (3)" for a shorter message -Gamer Jay 12:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "I am being attacked by (5) Bladed Attaxes!" comes next. :D
 * But yeh... being able to ping a recharging skill, or ping an effect that's about to end... both would be quite nice. Pinging recharging skills is probably an easier and more useful one to hope for first. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  12:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "My Holy Veil is recharging for 10 more seconds." Yes, I want that for my Monk. J Striker 12:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Better yet, "Word of Healing is recharging for 47 more seconds." That's right people, kill the shutdown Mesmer instead of complaining about my lackluster healing. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  12:37, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "My Resurrection Signet doesn't want to recharge!" &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 13:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "My Signet of Capture is gone!" -Gamer Jay 14:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Where would you click to make that one pop up? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's basically the joke :D -Gamer Jay 15:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I figured, but I still want to figure it out. >.< --<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  15:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * iono, during the skill replacing animation? -Gamer Jay 15:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, that would be "I'm learning a new skill!" :P --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  05:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, it would be fun to be able Ctrl-click just about anything. I wonder if kind this mechanic will pass on to GW2... hopefully. J Striker 05:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Ctrl Click the ground: "I'm moving to 52°13′N, 21°02′E!" &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 05:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Though there won't be mousewalking in GW2. ;) J Striker 05:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

These notes can't be real, or else I'm gonna de-install this game now. Sucks that I bought GW:EN today.-- Taki Fujiko  20:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * huh? I don't see anything particularly bad... --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  20:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's nerfday again. Guess Izzy is in a bad mood. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Every skill mentioned there got nerfed. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr.) 20:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Poor WY! --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't see anything particularly bad!? Wtf?? They TOTALLY, UTTERLY ruined any worthwile assassin skills. This is unbearable, I'm gonna de-install GW now. It's like a HUGE slap into my face, after I thought about buying GW:EN for a long time if it's worth it for me just for some extra skills. Then I finally decide to do it today, and now just 10 minutes ago the whole game, or better said my whole class was destroyed in the blink of an eye (and no I don't use shadow prison) --[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko  20:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Taki, you're overreacting. Don't stop believin'! Also, <3 Wail of Doom now. <font color="Purple">Yikey <font color="Green">∞  20:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * All that I notice that is uber bad is WY, Shroud of Silence, Augury (deserved, tbh), and Siphon Speed. And I guess flame djinn's. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  20:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Flame Djinn's I can understand. Now 99.0043% of all the HM Raptor farmers will get demotivated and stop farming Ele Swords. Yay, economy! <font color="Purple">Yikey <font color="Green">∞  20:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Can anyone explain to me what happened to WY!? I'll have to remove it from my Warrior Heroes skill bar, because I don't care about +18 armor, if it's just for 2 attacks -_- Also (something a lot are missing) New weapon skins!! Where are they?? :D &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 20:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * BUT OH MY GOD THEY BUFFED SPRINT! Wait, what? -- GamerJ ( Talk  ! ) 21:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

i think they broke something, 1 hour after this update another 1 comes along O.o <font color="#900020">Bored  21:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Broke something? Did you read the update notes? they broke everything.. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.39.38.76 (contribs).

Well Brawl's coming out sunday, so at least we have something to do until GW2 comes out. I still wish they hadn't broken this GW tho --66.245.94.198 21:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm waiting for that game for way more than 1 year now, still not even a release date planned for germany *cries* --[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko  21:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well..its not totaly broken..The supposedly underpowered paragons are about on par with sins and warriors...And the godlike dervishes are now just about equal with necros now YAY FOR NERFS/BAD BUFFS!
 * Am I the only one to think that ANet has eventually found a utility for Sprint? It was way too underpowered compared to Enraging Charge. Now it proudly replaces it on my chestrunning skillbar ( not that it has become God but it cooler than before, the only thing that lacks coolness is this skill's animation; Enraging's better.) Topinambour 21:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In this skill update Anet have radically changed the entire function of skills more than any other previous update. Fact! Seb2net 21:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Next time they will reduce the amount of hits Prot Spirit can take before ending A la Spirit Bond. *sarcasm again* Seb2net 22:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
