Sunspear
SFL:KJSDLFJSD GRRRRRRRR My warrior went from 8/10 titles maxed to 4/10 this update...Added the info, can get screen if necessary. --Dragonaxe 17:21, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * I think this is put an obstacle for those who have obtained the Spearmarshal title in the past using the now-patched rez loophole that some people have used to get the title. Pretty nice smack to those exploiters (cheaters?) if you ask me. LOL. --66.56.228.102 17:29, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Oh fudge, can never get Zenmai now.
Heh, I did Gain Olias, but I never did gain zenmai. Now, I can't get the new zenmai quest. Oh well, I don't like sins anyways. &mdash;Blastedt 17:25, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Maybe if you abandon "Gain Zenmai" you can take the new quest? DKS01 17:32, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Never took it? &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 17:33, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Never took it at all? And it still won't let you get the new one? Weird. DKS01 17:39, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * At first, I didn't like the sin hero either, same for the Dervish ... but then I was experimenting with the Build:A/N Repeating Moebius, the same one I use for my own sin in PvP and Zenmai seems to work it quite well ... though, I might play around with other stuff and probably incorporate a self-heal into it, but for now, Zenmai can do some pretty hefty damage with it. Sins can be pretty tricky to work with but after using one for quite some time, I have grown accustomed to some of their ups and downs. They won't replace the tried-n-true Warrior as a Tank, but at least they can do some pretty hard damage when built right.--66.56.228.102 17:38, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Protector
According to Gaile Gray, the protector titles will be fixed in a few hours. --17:29, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Regardless, when hard mode is available, the only way we won't lose the protector titles is counting hard mode as it's own title track, independent from protector. But that'll never happen since it reduces the prestige of KoaBD/PKM. Thus, we're screwed. --8765 18:14, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * It better be fixed, or Gaile will be proved to be a liar. 132.203.83.38 18:43, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * That's already been proven. --8765 19:34, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Level 1 Minipets?
When I take my minipet out in town, it has a "Lvl 1" over it. So do several other minis I see roaming around...anyone know what's up with that? DKS01 17:38, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * And now it's gone again. What the heck. DKS01 17:47, 14 February 2007 (CST)

New title Sweet Tooth
see this image  Poke 17:48, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Each Red Bean Cake counts as 2 points. Which would cost 200K for first tier.--Ishmaeel 18:18, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Oh, goodness. Looks like those red bean cakes are handy after all! I'm sure the dentists will be very disappointed that this is an actual GOAL now. :] --[[Image:VFG-sig2.jpg|19px]]VoteForGwen 18:20, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Well it's a new gold sink, and (probably) much easier to max than the drunk title. If there's like 30 levels to this, and the max is like 10 million pts, then screw that. --8765 18:24, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Well, see, now you can be drunk and high on sugar at the same time, and work on two titles at once! I think it's pretty cool...feel sorry for those trying to get the KoaBD/PKM titles though... Entropy 20:31, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Well, you can click them item and get the points right away, don't have to wait. Someones already gotten the max title, see Talk:Sweet Tooth &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 20:33, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Skill and Attribs Panel
Overall I like the changes, though some seem to be of limited usefulness. But the changed location (and order?) of the attrib up/down buttons is driving me nuts! I'll need time to adapt. And the whole panel looks... busier, I guess, not as sleek and simple. Also, the skill bar window shown in the templates list is slick, but covers up the names of the templates, making it harder to use. I'm sure they'll adjust it, though. — HarshLanguage 18:15, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * I really hope they fix it soon, it's annoying as hell to try to change a template and having the names covered up by the skills. DKS01 18:16, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * I love the "small grid" skills view though. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 18:23, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * I like the skill bar summary (click the "^ ^ ^" button in the panel). I think it may have been put there for convenience in writing up builds for forums or whatever, so that one can immediately see the stats for the skills without having to look up the numbers one by one - just take a screenshot, and there you are. &mdash; [[Image:Fin_sig.gif|User:Kyrasantae]] kyrasantae   20:01, 14 February 2007 (CST)

If I change the order of a recharging skill, the recharging animation is no longer there. --Tsubasa Ikemoto 19:10, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * What? –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 20:05, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * nvm, indeed, bugged. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 20:24, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Inventory and Storage Slots
The light-colored "shadow" for each slot in storage and inventory are now brighter. I compared to some screenshots on the wiki, and a shot I happened to have of my inventory screen from a while ago, and the boxes are definitely brighter. — HarshLanguage 18:37, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Screens for comparison:

Old: New: — HarshLanguage 18:47, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I haven't had a chance to check, but perhaps it's the transparency level that's changed? --Jeremy Winston 19:10, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * There's also some sort of anti-aliasing with all the icons. They lost their crispy-ness.--Ishmaeel 19:15, 14 February 2007 (CST)

This is Weird
Ever since it said that a new update was comming and everyone had to exit the game, I haven't been able to come back on. It is so wierd, my computer is very fast yet Guild Wars will not load. Has this happened to any of you, and what should i do about it?

Options/Sound
DirectSong has encountered an error. Went on their site, did what they said, but no go. It worked before this update. --Phoenix 19:19, 14 February 2007 (CST)


 * DirectSong is working fine for me, except the festival locations aren't using the DirectSong tracks when playing music (greyed out icon). -Taala 20:30, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Clarify please
Can someone please clarify "If a character has done either of the old hero quests without doing the other, they will not be able to get the other's new counterpart. Characters like this will not as of now be able to unlock the other hero."? What is the "old hero quests"? Olias and Zenmai? What is "the other's new counterpart"? I can't unlock the other hero? Which is "the other hero"? Is it so hard to use names instead of "this", "that", and "other"? -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 20:27, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * I did Gain Olias before update, but never took Gain Zenmai.  now, I am not able to get Zenmai as her new quest isn't offered.  That's what I meant. &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 20:30, 14 February 2007 (CST)
