Did they get added -- The Warrior Of Timi 19:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Great, THIS killed my RA run. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 19:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Erm, how? Vael Victus 20:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

If you get a game update whilst in a PvP area, you can not continue your winning streak. --Viper 20:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

yet another worthless update by anet. where is my escape neff. and a buff to the jade quarry???75.165.102.213 20:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I didnt even get any points for predictions...could be because I never predicted/I didnt predict on time (I remember I did) or it could be because I didnt get it right...Mr tim 20:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sway is good for Anet/HA. It keeps people playing and more so, pugging. This doesn't mean I play or approve of it. BlazeRick 21:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Man, they have this awesome new skill split and the last 2 weeks have been boring crap....206.53.17.64 22:29, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

They made it clear PvE/PvP skill splits would only be as necessary. Btw, no Escape nerf. Fix Rending Touch and Pious Assault, how 'bout. Arshay Duskbrow 22:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Kinda expected some nerfed PvE skills to be buffed and Ursan to be blown to oblivion / nerfed down a bit...but hey, there's always next week-Warior Kronos 22:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I think they only do nerfs once a month, and I guess this isn't the day of the month that theyh do it this month. — ク Eloc 貢 00:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Escape

i really dfont know why everyone wants this nerfed. its set into exptise so only rangers can use it effectivly and its easily countered, maybe ha teams should think of counters instead of whinning about it. i mean all you ahve to do is bring wild blow or even defile defense and its poop Majikpsilocybin 01:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So all you have to do is take a skill that makes you lose all adrenaline or a hex against a team with an Expel Rit just so you have the opportunity to beat on one person for the two seconds it takes them to pop Lightning Reflexes? Goddamn, you're a genius! --71.237.30.4 01:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Again, Escape isn't the problem, it's overpowered Dervish skills. Rending Touch and Pious Assault need to be fixed so that their effects (disenchant on target and Deep Wound, respectively) only occur if the user also loses an enchantment. That would clean up this whole mess without giving Rangers yet another useless elite. Arshay Duskbrow 03:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Escape isn't that innocent. It should punish those who attack under it and reward those who use it defensively. See my userpage for suggestion. -- NUKLEAR IIV 10:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think your suggestion Nuclear is a bit to heavy.. something like, 'End when you use an attack skill' Would be more suitable imo.--Spider 11:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, most other ranger skills for running/blocking end after an attack, but escape doesnt. that's why its an elite and not a normal skill, and why it lasts a shorter amount of time. 76.18.237.220 15:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

My change to escape is a fucking buff... -- NUKLEAR IIV 10:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Called Golems, cool..-Warior Kronos 00:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Rune Traders Messed up?

Anyone notice that the Rune Traders seem to be messed up? All of the prices are (Unknown) and they don't buy Runes of Minor Vigor.

The unknown is weird, If you got your rune of minor vigor from the Istan quest, than it's normal as rune traders doesn't buy that rune --MageMontu 20:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Not the only werid thing...Dominator Matrix 03:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

My guess is that they show as unknown because there has been an update and the records then get cleaned, as with Observe. And that Rune of Minor Vigor was most likely the Quest Reward. BlazeRick 22:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

If you identify the rune of vigor and the price is over (I think) 50gp then they will buy it from you. If it is less then they will not buy it. For those of you that do not know, you should identify all items that do not have a price listed on it when you pick it up. You may be surprise what things are then worth. Chris98.209.30.104 20:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Chris, but that is not true, and you're mixing things up here. You're talking about identifying the armor it comes in before salvaging it out. Rune, Material and Scroll Traders will buy items from you no matter the price. Because this is a Rune of Minor Vigor, it is most likely the case that it's the Rune from Missing Shipment. BlazeRick 20:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry but I am not messing things up. I had 3 runes of vigor. The trader would not buy 2 but would buy 1. When I identifed them, it gave me a price on them and the 2 that the trader would not buy were id'd at less than 50gp. I do not care what the rune trader says that he will buy the runes from you at. If the rune trader will buy the rune for only 10gp and I have then id'd it and it the rune now says 62gp, guess what? I will get 62gp from the rune trader, simple as that.

Ectos

Where did they go? There is so many people complaining that ecto drops have hit the floor. Anyone else notice this? Dominator Matrix 03:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Ectos are still at 5.5k. People just like to panic. --76.25.197.215 04:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

No many people at IMPERIUM (LaZy/CREW) are reporting bad runs. Either due to bad farming, bad luck...or something else. Dominator Matrix 04:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I read 'ecto prices'.

Possibly tweaked because perma-SF made farming ectos in the Chaos Planes too easy. Because punishing casual players is much easier than reverting a moronic buff. --76.25.197.215 04:58, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Guess ANet wants everyone to play retarded R/N Toucher, R/D Shitway & A/Me Perma SF Builds..
I guess they that is their idea of a Good Build >_>

The quicker is destroys the game the better.. Rezu Blackheart 15:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Ecto drops are still the same tbh. Guild members still getting 8e+ runs and such. Lord of all tyria 21:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Drops seem to have come back...Dominator Matrix 21:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
