April 29th Update Craziness

Care to elaborate?

They added some War in Kryta stuff, but portions of the Mesmer update hitched a ride.

I was going to say, I'm surprised so few people have mentioned the unintended skill leak. As a courtesy to the TK, I'd rather not reveal anything that hasn't been posted on preview notes.

Thank you. There are some among us who have discussed the update with others during the leak because it wasn't recognizable right away that the update was just a fluke and not at all intentional. I'm also surprised, and pleased, to see a lack of leaking detail-wise.

I'm sure there are some people who are going to remember what they saw and use it in discussion until the actual update goes live without actually listing descriptions or numbers, but I don't really feel like that's an issue.

like what? i gave it a quick over and didnt notice anything, havent had too much time though. if changes REALLY occurred what were they?

Where? I've been all over the place, multiple times, this morning and have had no new encounters, seen no new Inquisitor activity, and found absolutely nothing going on in Scoundrel's Rise.

mesmer skills,migraine, burden..etc

it all appears the same to me...migraine is the same and the mes skills havent changed...are the above posters just looking for attention?

They were changed on ACCIDENT and then fixed. That's the entire point.

No. The changes were not supposed to be made at this time and they were quickly reverted. Please read the update notes before accusing people of making things up to get attention.

The first update on the 29th accidentally included the skill descriptions for potential changes in the mesmer update. The second updated reverted them.

Most of them were exactly as described in the preview. Some, such as the signet changes, were leaked at least 4 days ago when someone broke NDA on the wiki. That content is still up.

For that matter, there's still a summary of all the changes that were leaked in the update on the official wiki.

Earlier this morning, while feather farming, I happened upon a group near the portal to Nebo Terrace from North Kryta Province. The spawn seems to be pretty random, as I mapped in and out about six times before encountering them.

This update could be very good, if it wasn't reverted

Grow some balls, Anet!

I beg of you!

Cant imagine that this is leaking since I got these screenshots from the live server.

Also there might have been more, just thought I was screenshotting bugs when I took them, since the descriptions are all fkt up.

Ty Niek2004 for those screen shots. Some very interesting new descriptions there. That's what I intended this thread for though, to document the state of the game during that brief time. It is meant to be descriptive - about what actually happened; and not prescriptive - about what should happen in your ideal world.

the fact that those skill updates you are viewing are from an area in PVP MODE!

This makes me thinks the live team has not the slightest fsking clue how to balance things...if those were for just PvE, then it is understandable.

I HOPE this is just a mistake they made when they accidentally implemented the skills.

Isn't there a Guru rule against posting leaked content? Or does that only apply to the PvP forums?

At first I thought they'd finally fixed the bug that makes a guild hall count as a pvp area but then I saw nope, the icon's still there.

The stuff being discussed was on the live server and anybody could have seen it. Anet made a mistake. What are they going to do? Brainwash us and pretend it never happened?

Besides, they said there was a chance that we would see another preview before the update.

It would be a leak if the information and screenshots were taken from the dev server.

People seeing stuff on live didn't sign an NDA, they did nothing wrong.

I did sign the NDA since im in TK, but this stuff was on the live server.

I didn't do anything wrong.
