Feature Build: The calm before the storm

@ above: seems that at least the "Will be tomorrow!" part is comfirmed.

remember 'tomorrow' can mean all the way until 11:59PM Pacific time.

wow 2 updates in 2 weeks ... im in shock.

And very excited =D

almost wish i had an extra slot for a new pre sear character.

Just read the link. I think my brain just turned to mush. I am so going to lock myself at home for the next few weeks after this update to attempt to power rush my first char to GWAMM and maybe get my mes out of pre-searing with LDoA. Muahahaha.

This is the only thing about his post that intrigued me. I think it could possibly be dealing with "problem" skills (DwG, Shroud of Distress, EVAS), or whatever other skills people think need to be toned down. Then again, I could also be way off

Poof, there we go!

Already making some heroes more usefull with proper builds as we speak, might as well so i can jump on tomorrow evening and start blasting mallyx, do fow and just have a great time.

I just got tactics ogre today so I can't really be bothered much thinking about GW.

OMG! i hope we get least some of this stuff. friend is like boo to it. long as its something cool ill be happy. and i hope its in the early part of the day and not at night. xD omg i hope for the 7 hero part. cause i need to vanq 2 of the icky charr zones for title. with 7 heros i can least do it easer.

Hope? Its a guaranteed thing

And I'm guessing that most of the things in that article will be in the update if not everything. I am doubting that 2 articles came out mentioning the same facts without some type of reasonable source or guarantee that it will be in the update.

they said the same for derv update and look how long it took us to get it? xD i learned the hard way to not get to excite over stuff.

What does the derv update have to do with this? Length of time is not involved here. The update is going live tomorrow that has been confirmed.

Yes I know its anet but its gonna b pretty hard to F**K this one

@ post below, I am just saying that this is very different than the derv update. The new things that are rumored are coming out like "survivor changes and Zaishen Vanquishes" are not mentioned 6 months before the update. They are mentioned the day before the update from seemingly reliable sources.

If this came out with no announced date for the FB update, then I would be more skeptical. But because it came out the day before, I think we can be pretty certain of these things.

i didnt mean the length of time. i ment over the time they talked about they said alot of things we would get and didnt. but anyway i cant wait to see what all we get. if i knew it would be out it in the morning i so wouldnt go to sleep. xD

What did they say about the Dervish update that we would get and didn't? I really don't recall them saying anything about it other than changing scythes and doing an overhaul to the profession, which is what they did.

Also, hell YES update tomorrow. Zaishen vanquishes is awesome, since I still have a lot of vanquishing to do. And daily quests for pre is also great; I was never going to bother wasting time with LDOA because death leveling is a soul-killing thing, but now I might. And of course, seven heroes for the win.

Sweeeeeeet. No work Friday and Saturday and I'm going to be stuck at home (damn you car repairs) so I can have fun playing around ^^

Yeah, I think everything that was promised for the derv update, happened.

Also yeah, i would never have bothered with LDoA before but now I will probably go for it. Vanquishes are a nice addition (although now I am only 15 vanqs away from being done with it) It would be nice if they had a Vanquish for each campaign (Tyria+elona, NF, Factions) So that it wouldnt take such a long time for them to come back around.

This one time, I heard this skill Shadow Form was gonna be nerfed on XX day. Then XX day went by, and A Net said it wasn't quite ready. 3 months went by and we got this update on the skill Shadow Form.

One for each campaign per day would be great. I've already finished Elona and have SS and LB done, so I definitely don't need to do anything more there. And with the number of zones in Tyria, that'd come up way more than the others would if it's just one a day, which would suck for those who want to vanquish in Cantha or Elona.

Also, since I assume they'd continue with faction/SS/LB/EOTN reputation points for completing the vanquish - less grind for those titles as well! Win all around there (and maybe I'll finish some of those, since I'm only r5 Kurzick and r5-6 for the reputation titles). I do have to wonder how those rewards will be calibrated, though, and what a fair amount for a completed vanquish would be considered.

Yeah, with vanquishes already giving faction/rep pts when finished, Im not sure how they will do that, although I may start doing vanquishes on another Char+6 heroes and having an alt acc just AFK for the title. I am not sure if thats a good idea yet, but It would be an easy way to get vanquisher on my alts and if it does give good rep/faction a good way for the other titles too. CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW....lol

I'm out of the loop - what exactly are they planning on doing to titles? I heard they'd be changing them in some way, but I don't know in what manner.

LDoA=New Presearing Daily quests. (scaled)
Survivor=Most likely possible even after deaths.(Must get the same xp after dying)
Drunkard=Not sure yet

That's interesting. Not sure what to think of the new Survivor track - though I'm well beyond the XP req.

Any hints that they'd be making more titles account wide, or was it just these three they were looking at?

EDIT: Nvm, just saw the live team thread and saw the info. Thanks anyways for the tips.
