Hooray Ursan revert --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:65.40.196.108 (talk).
 * Hurray for anonymous people making random comments! They must be lagging due to Koreans taking over. Haru 16:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Our Korean brothers and sisters took over America (This update was just a cover up) and they sieged the Anet offices and reverted Ursan Blessing and buffed Shadowform on June 20th 2009. On June 30th Anet was abolished and replaced by the Korean Ministry of Skill Balance and Quality Content.  Allying themselves with Jagex, GW2 was released only a month later, GW1 got weekly high-quality content updates and Blizzard lost all profits due to the massive void left from users who abandoned WoW to chop some Primordus tail in GW2.  WoW servers were shut down and Blizzard went bankrupt and eventually had to shut down everything on Battle.net.  Nicholas was assassinated due to being dumb and not revolutionary or interesting (Boy-o I've never farmed for rare drops before!).  The Zaishen Menagerie became the base of operations for the Ebon Vangaurd because Gwen quite liked all the fuzzy animals.  And finally Abaddon lifted himself from torment and wiped his slate clean, becoming the 6th God of Tyria and resolving grudges with his siblings over a few bowls of ambrosia.  He was put in charge of the Ministries "Quality Boss Design" branch; he pwned The Great Destroyer and Shiro because they suck harder then a lvl 5 charmable animal companion.  The ministry is currently hiring bosses for the empty positions.  Players everywhere are outraged because they can't beat the game. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.193.113.198 (talk).
 * This is a distinct possibility. Perhaps our new korean overlords will learn in the balance that RITs need a new primary and stuff linked to it like the heals and weapons which everyone seems to use instead of mostly spirit spam-not their skills nerfed because everyone else is using them?

Or even that 95% of pve skills need a nerf and that farming solo on near anything *MOST* which most classes can't with shadowform just plain shouldn't exist... (75.0.186.25 04:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC))

Did they update other stuff behind the scenes? Destructions Depths was about 3x as hard as it was a few days ago. The destroyers had major health regen (like 20hp per sec or more). This was in hard mode. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:76.20.181.37 (talk).

RIP Keg farming, AKA, fuck you NC.. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.247.73.250 (talk).

BUDGER... Well there goes my half-way relaxing way to get my last rank of Wisdom... So why did Anet feel the need to hit keg farming with the nerf bat...  IMO it wasnt that profitable..not like prenerf Chaos Plains...  never fails too many players exploit a farm and even if its not taht great of a farm ANET nerfbats it...  you'd think they could leave use with a little enjoyment in this game instead of leaving only Grind...  i hate grind, some times I'd like to relax and do some relaxing activities in this game. Its not like all of use have big old guilds to lend us a hand getting titles done,; some off us have to do it by ourselves... well thats my 2 gold on this update.Phaede Baenre 23:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad, you dont even need money in guild wars to access the ingame features and assasins are pretty overused anyway these days, perma still works so the farming spots are plentiful, it does kind of suck that the people who have farmed loads of money are now way on top while those who have just made a perma now will find it a little harder, but you have to admit keg bombing was kind of a lame way of making money, and a bit of a grind in itself. my friend has never farmed in his life and he has 650k in the chest just by playing the game and not spending it on things he doesnt need. ok he's a stingey dick who never gave anything to anyone in the guild but it shows what you can do if you can keep your wallet shut. Shogun 09:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * My guess would be it had nothing to do with the farming, but rather the new-ish revelation that keg-farming could get you from L20 to Leg. Survivor in less than two hours. We won't know for sure until they spit out a largely-contrived, barely honest developer update note though. Targren 15:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well Shogun ur right that lots of perma farms exsist still..look at FOWSC and UWSC teams...and ur partly right Sins are overused but only overused for farming. Most players ..with exceptions don't do anything with their sins outside of farming. I've met only a handful of ppl that actually do more then just farm with their sins. And while ur right keg farming was a lame,"no skill" way of making money...then again i know of quiet a few sins that couldn't make the run out there..you found them begging for another keg farmer to run them to Jaga...thats lame.And ur tightwad friend with 650k in the bank...thats nothing compared to the dang ecto RL buyers and the pre-NF dupers that r still in playing. And even without rl money or duping Guild SC teams make more profit then keg farming did...but Targren might be right Anet might not like the idea of Sins only having such a EZ way to achieve legendary survivor so rapidly, but i doubt Anet's going to tell us if that as the reason or not...oops forgot to sign in.

Which merchants are selling the late-game items? I can't seem to find them. -24.72.23.101 00:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Budger... Hmmm ya this was an interesting one and annoying at that. Yes a lot have been farming it but it was not like it was ruining the game economy. Lately it seems GW is turning into what they said it wasn't...a grinding game just like WoW.....no matter how the NCsoft team or the Anet team puts it....its turning out to be just like WoW slowly but surly, whats next adding on monthly fees? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:ValestyCross (talk).

First of all 24. reading it says the ones in GREAT TEMPLE OF BALTH. And then to naysayers of budger, where do you think all those holiday items came from that weren't from raptor? Raptor isn't much profitable either is it? until you get a few stacks of holiday drops. Haru 03:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

In response to Haru's commment... If Anet had an issue with the amount of money ppl with assassins made during the holidays then nerf the drop rate of the holiday items and not the farm itself, oh but that would be to ez of a solution to the problem. Instead they kill the whole farm, and yes i said its dead, cause Terra, SF sliver and 600 can farm the vaettirs buts its as slow as a teeth pulling appointment at the dentist. You might as well Raptor farm, oh wait raptors r sooo overfarmed Anet doesnt need to nerf that; the drops are crap there anyway... what use to be a 8k or so per hr farm is more like a 3-6k now that its overfarmed. And if killing the Profits from holiday stacks was Anet's intention then why leave Raptor Farming intact especially with this new W/N build that can speed farm them faster then SF sliver. Heck if this bs keeps up I might go back to W/E gladiator sliver and go farm minotards... Anyway my original post had nothing to do with profits from holidays it was based around the rest of the year and the ablity to do something solo that was relaxiing and could made a bit of plat and work "effectively" on my last rank of Wisdom. Oh yeh and where ARE our TRP... Phaede Baenre 15:14, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I know its the Great Temple of Balthazar, but what I don't see is what "late-game" items are being sold now. What exactly is defined is a "late-game" item? -24.72.23.101 20:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They now sell the same things as the merchants in the Guild Hall. Before they were missing things like Superior Identification Kits. poke | talk 20:36, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Wheres the TRP!!!
WTF why come the trp from Kun Shao isn't being given out yet? I was looking forward all week to this day? You updated the Tonics but are not giving us our points to go chance getting one? Please fix this serious bug! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:216.96.19.7 (talk).

June 18
As much as I despise the whining over Xunlai betting points - after days and days of patient waiting it appears as if those points are being given out finally - just not to everyone. Is there some ingame mechanic behind it that I don't get? The NPC acts as if I never even made the bet to begin with, although he should be giving out points. Seems to be the same with lots of people. Any insights on this? --Golgarit Raven 07:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * We've paid for a game, and even if the Xunlai Points are a bonus, that's not a reason for the whole system to be completly fucked up. If you don't like the fact that some people could get angry about that, then you are completly stupid because you're doing exactly the same. There's a bug, once more, Arena Net will surely fix it. Until then, nobody knows. --Frozen 14:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They know it's a problem, and Regina has asked everyone that didn't get their points to contact support. --[[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png | Wyn's Talk page]] Wyn 14:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and contact support. Here is their current reply: "The dev team is currently reviewing the situation in order to determine the best means to correct the problem. The team will be need a few days to settle on and implement a resolution. In the meantime, we greatly appreciate your patience as we address the issue."  Ex 06:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fancy speak for "Yeah you're not getting anything. Cry more and buy GW2."68.193.113.198

How can i contact the suport ... is there any e-mail? please help me. Durzal 89.180.128.234 11:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't the first time. Fix the problem Arena Net or put an end to these fuucking Xunlai Tourney shiit ! 213.233.92.218 12:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

CoP
so what's the point in nerfing CoP? now urgoz is dead. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.19.69.183 (talk).
 * urgoz can still be done by general AoE, you just need a snare like grasping earth and deep freeze (muddy soil might be overboard tho), heck maybe use shurning earth and the elite version to keep foes in place because now HM scatters on everything. good thing permas are still, ok RoJ will QQ a bit but they're still good98.134.28.13 10:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What does "QQ" means ? Tiberium 06:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * QQ is an emoticon, the Qs are supposed to be eyes with tears in them. It's generally used sarcastically. -- [[Image:User Gordon Ecker sig.png]] Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually originated from the shortcut to 'quit' in MUDs and, later, in WoW.--Tong2 10:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Wikipedia it could be either. -- [[Image:User Gordon Ecker sig.png]] Gordon Ecker (talk) 06:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

A.I.
When they refer to Heroes AI, does this naturally include Henchment AI? --Falconeye 20:23, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
