Reactions to the Skill Balance
Seriously?
 * No more Grasping Earth for Warriors *sigh.* 91.155.145.188 23:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * if all your gonna do is complain why bother commenting? say something nice or constructive or don't say anything at all, seriously every single update talk page has someone bitching  Zachariah Zuan. 23:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Thats kind of the point of a feed back page its  not  suppose to be all rainbows and  puppies   if ppl hae  god stuff  to say great if not oh well deal with it 74.90.153.162 23:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a nice, little, better-than-nothing update, however, I hope the skill balancing team is preparing something bigger for the current meta or for the underpowered professions (elementalist and rangers for pve, paragons for everything). 84.90.202.144 23:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL fragility only so dervs and everyone else has trouble using it no real loss to mesmers yet again mesmers lose nothing while everything else receives splits or nerfs... 108.75.73.62 23:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Good update tbh. Addresses the OP nature of Dervs. 72.79.213.243 00:15, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Too bad they can't figure out how to address the OP nature of mesmer without buffing it in every update(increasing the recharge to fragility(lol) is not a nerf). 108.75.73.62 01:52, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Awesome! Heaven's Delight got a buff! That makes my monk happy. :D /positive feedback 128.113.201.222 03:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL heaven's delight..... 108.75.73.62 03:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Good grief, it's about time Blinding Surge and Blinding Flash get a serious nerf and they are buffing Blinding Flash??? It's not normal for a blindbot with no skill whatsoever to be able to constantly blind 3 ennemies... How about a 30 seconds recharge to both these skills... --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.12.51.130 (talk).

GG metanoobs! 2 more avatars to go pls quickly copy a build from pvx and play pro so Anet can nerf them as well. Oh and dont forget to bring a blindbot everywhere, thats even more proish and thats what all gonna do why to be an exception?. Hope after these valiant acts those blinding skills will get a decent 20 sec recharge gift, after all Anet implemented the pvx based GVg/HA henchies so no worries, they even name in game characters after noobs! See you noobs at the next nerf and lol buffs! Anet shouldnt waste time on dozens copycats like you all :) Hope they got at least 1 IQ not to implement mesmers in GW2 considering their overpowered braindead skills. Also dont get too excited about the anniversary... cos only the new minis might suprise you XD --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 78.92.119.89 (talk).

 * "Bawww!! everyone else but me is a baddie" <-- everyone runs gimmicks, Especially IP's. and the mesmer playstyle is guaranteed in Gw2.  HF! -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 23:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * "Especially IPs" Hey, I resent that! :o Stereotypes are bad.  :P  128.113.201.222 04:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * ILR? Source please? (mesmer playstyle guaranteed). 108.75.73.62 15:13, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd love to link directly to it for you but the stupid ass Guru thread search engine is woefully ill-equipped to relocate it. If you don't believe me then go ask anyone there.  It's common knowledge that Anet labels roles as "Playstyles" and that every major one from Gw1 (excludes: dedicated healers) will be returning.  -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 19:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

-- Blinding Flash: decreased Energy cost to 10. "Blinding Flash was already a pretty good skill, but with the heavy emphasis on melee characters, even before the Dervish update, we felt it could be buffed a little to make it easier to use." Buffed ?!? ... As an Ele/R in Pre it is actually a nerf since this was one of the main healing skills when enchanted with Aura of Restoration and the 15 energy cost. Betcha didn't thunk about that when you changed it :p --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.119.233.155 (talk).

So how about Ballad of Restoration now that Divine Healing/Heaven's Delight are down to a 12 second recharge? 75.246.13.39 17:41, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If you ask me, most of this was called for. Grasping Earth is a little sad since now you can't use it on, say, an Earth Shaker, at least not very effectively. A simple duration reduction might have been better. Blinding Flash was also a bad idea, IMO, Blindbots can already keep 2-3 melee down even with a monk curing them (in RA anyway, in HA where they probably have an LS it's harder, but then the monk has to do a lot of work). At least with Flash costing 15 energy you either had to manage it really well or give up your elite... they should just have made a few more dervish nerfs instead. Otherwise, it tones down dervs without nerfing them back into oblivion. Good, but not enough. Widowmaker 14:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * ArenaNet just can't decide what to do with Blinding Flash. Didn't they just nerf it recently? - J.P.[[Image:User J.P. sigicon.png| ]] Talk  16:48, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Prepping for event
Xunlai bakers? Is this just basically creative writing or was some new content added? PalkiaX50 00:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * No new content was added; we are ensuring the proper function of the anniversary event, set to kick off next Thursday. ~ Matthew Moore 00:48, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As I thought, creative writing for the moment. ^.^ Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 00:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Any chance for creative writing. :D ~ Matthew Moore 00:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * stupid build...i logged off to let it load and now i cant get on gw at all....--205.188.116.130 01:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Close it completely out and then restart it and login. See if that'd help. :-) Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 02:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Standard remedy for unable to login to GW (after an update) is to use the -image switch option. --DaveBaggins 02:23, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * So... since when did a guild of bankers and gambling hosts turn towards cooking and ovens? I honestly would expect the Fraternal Order of Bakers and Brewers to make a show, not make a bunch of NPCs which make little sense turning a group solely invested in money into a jack-of-all-trades. -- Konig / talk 05:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, it's a tough economy; would you rather have a xunlai bailout? -ERH
 * Xunlai is running out of cash. Duh. 'Overlord Frosty ' 10:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * So much for quality assurance. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.115.246.157 (talk).
 * Xunlai have to eat as well, and why leave the cooking part to some other random guild? They're just being elitist that's all. Or simply branching out to new business opportunities, like any good company. razor 39999 15:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There are separate guilds for everything. There is a guild that handles money, a guild that cooks, a guild that chews your food for you, a guild to give you a shake when you are done at the urinal. Guilds are a big part of the world. FleshAndFaith 18:26, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol at where this convo has gone. :D 89.204.249.193 00:38, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That was me ^ forgot to log in. PalkiaX50
 * And gods forbid that the guild that chews your food for you and the guild that cooks get into a Guild War. :) Dargus 05:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hell forbid that my female ele wants to be wiped by some random guild member after using the crapper. She rather use all the Orr emblems that never get used in Halloween or wintersday. "Prepare to be burned!" Like Cynn says.Yumiko ^,~ 01:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Elite Xunlai Bakery Agents?
What is an "Elite Xunlai Bakery Agent"? Have they appeared yet? Cinnamongod 11:44, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That was just flavor text to describe the preparations. Presumably they're the ones that make the birthday cupcakes that drop, but I doubt you'll actually see an NPC in the game. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 13:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
