Two Dev Updates!

[Gaile]

Hi, there,

We've just posted two significant Dev Updates on the GWW. Please head to this page (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Gaile_News) to read about Chat Channels and Trade "Spam" as well as the much-anticipated notes on the upcoming Skill Balances and PvP Changes.

[Cthulhu Reborn]

Interesting changes somewhere. At this moment they do not yet seem to be in effect actually.

Some comments, assuming that the rules will replace the old rules rather than being additions on the primary's.

My Ritualist never uses weapon enhancements on any of my builds (I have a Channeling, Communing and a Restoration build), so for me the primary will become completely useless.

My mesmer uses one signet in her domination build and also in my illusion build so unless fast casting still has it's original function it too becomes rather useless.

Soul Reaping was nerfed and imo became too random and it seems the new upgrade seems rather random, but this I will have to try out. It may be alright though cause I can sorta see how this might work out.

I am glad about the change on dwarven battle stance as it makes a hammer build more viable.

Also I am glad to see it wasn't just me thinking there was something up with signet of sorrow so glad that will get fixed.
And never surrender is also a nice upgrade for my paragon.

Dunno about the armour stacking limitation. It makes HM and generally level 28+ ele's impossible to survive with their immense spikes. So I'll be interested to see how that pans out.

Since the Mesmer "Power" interrupts will also interrupt Chants as well as Spells now, is it logical to assume that the elite spell Power Leech's energy drain will trigger when a spell or chant is used?

These changes are made in addition to their current functionality. This means Spawning power will give spirits 4% health per level, and extend the duration of weapon spells 2% per level. Mesmer Fast Casting will still make your spells cast faster also.

I like the changes I've seen so far. Now if only something could be done about the ninnies who want to spam you with nonsense questions during one of your in game visits, Gaile. I find that highly aggravating, because there are plenty of folks who are asking perfectly legitimate questions or just trying to express their appreciation for Anet's hard work.

You've got the patience of a saint...I'd be booting them left and right.

Hi, there,

I had some serious problems with this new anti spamming thingy. It responds to darn quick my being a fast typer gets kinda annoyed for example i was going to TOA to buy some Yuletide Tonics so i yelled i kinda long message into the trade channel then i responded to something in the alliance chat and sad a short sentence but i couldnt couse the anti spam thingy works against my. Also when cordinating stuff you cant afford suppressed messages. I like the old anti spam system better this one responds way to quick. You sould really turn the anti spam system off in alliance guild and whisper channels and the team channel. And do a low variant on the All channel so you can still shout out lyrics from some kind of song when dancing in temple xD. And a very sensitive one on the trade channel (cause when in droks its hard to socialice cause you cant see each others texts cause off all the people there buying and selling and trading stuff) Cause the only place realy being spammed is trade channel the problem then is that more people might use the all channel as trade channel so Anet has to watch that more closely then. Also i am european but there never ever is a person from Anet there. So really people can spam along in europe. I know Anet is american and the time diffrence is big but still help the poor europeans plz xD. Also i think Gaile Gray sould visit more during times european people are online cause in my entire GW life (13 mounths) I have seen Gaile online twice and have been to her then aswell in kamadan. One of the things i like about her is she never gets mad. O btw just a question for gaile: Your ranger has been level 7 for a long time but how do you get to all those towns then? Like a normal person asking for help or can GMs teleport? Still i really think Gaile sould visit the European people more as exhausting it may seem gaming in the night (sounds fun xD) you do need to ask a bit more of the european people what they like.
