Update: August 25th 2011

Smiter's Boon = trollololololol?

I...I thought that was part of the nerf to Smiter's Boon. That was unintentional?

omg gvg smite way is nerfed.

are people still doing those bonus mission pack quests?? (Saul D'Alessio)....and just a text bug????
/sigh

i dont get the one quest bug..who would drop that quest from their log?! o.0

I'm just wondering when we're going to see the next phase of WoC. It's been like, a month and a half since the first part launched?

sad updates,lol...

I didn't think quests could be abandoned in an explorable tbh....

The smiter's boon bug fix made me lol. XD

I appreciate the small bug fixes, but with that skill . . . no one will use the fixed version, so why did they bother?

I figured Part 2 comes out in either mid-September or early November, and then Part 3 comes out, in the worst case scenario, at the end of January 2012 or early February.

As for bug fixes, the Dark Watcher uses skills now, so I'm curious what they might be.

Fantastic Update!

This update addresses major issues with the game.

Since I have yet to start the BMP, I happily welcome the Saul fix.

Very proud of ANET, GOOD JOB!

FA has been broken for years & they're fixing text...

They've been fixing FA, too. And even since those bug fixes started to happen.

Anyways, the designers and game balancers are probably all busy with WoC. Still, I was hoping for something from them this month...

The quest fix was this: you got the quest from Kormir in the explorable area and could then abandon it in Chahbek Village before accepting the reward. This would leave you with no way to reacquire the quest and thus no way to proceed in the main storyline.

They're just fixing easy to fix bugs reported on the forum. I guess the harder ones (FA/JQ etc) take more time.

not sure if ANet is trolling..

This..

They're fixing the bugs that can be done easily. Gotta start somewhere. Personally, I'm pretty happy about it - not game-changing, but simple things like this can really polish a game. I'm confident enough that they'll work on the other issues. That forum has brought quite a few fixes in.

Yes, since the official forums opened up, there have been a lot of fixes that wereonce ignored/ overlooked, most notable on FA/ JQ. I believe this is slightly independent of whoever is in charge of skill balancing or content designing, so those kind of updates does not means the main designers are wasting their time doing "useless" stuff. (Although unlikely, I might be wrong in this one :P)

Still, I was hoping for some skill updates at this time of the month. Or at least a skill preview of a future update, or something to make us talk about and get excited (or whine about, hehe).

If bugs are being fixed, I'd have hoped that they'd get around to tackling the one bug that has an actual impact on the competitive metagame.

There is more to the game than your "competitive metagame". There is no reason for them to put special priority over a bug from one area of the game than from another area. I'm certainly not against your bug being fixed, but I think that the most pressing bugs now are the FA ones.

you must wonder what their priorities are when they do these. (gee we have to get SOMEthing out--how about that text bug--should take me, what, a whole minute to fix--yeah, yeah-- at least its something right? right????)
fixing a text bug? is that more important than fixing a skill? or the stupid turtles etc in jq type thing?
I am still waiting for them to fix all the armor glitches that have been around since prophecies--those should be higher up than a text bug--one would think...though certainly not as high up as something like a bugged skill or npc's.....but then again----

we should be grateful for the updates--so ...thank you for continuing to update the game.
