[edit] Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Mhenlo to display the same dialogue option twice in the Consulate Docks outpost.
* Fixed a bug in the Factions quest "Night Raiders" that could prevent players from completing it.
* Fixed a graphical bug that occurred when Gwen was equipped with the Deldrimor Armor in a PvP arena.
* Fixed a graphical bug on the Elementalist's Elite Flameforged armor that showed the wrong texture on the character's neck.
* Fixed a bug with the monster skill Twisting Jaws that allowed monsters to instantly cast it.

[edit] Miscellaneous

* The Xunlai Tournament House NPC now offers prizes for the June tournament and can be found in the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan.


SS imba has now been fixed to an extent, Wounding strikes arent quite as powerfull as before(But still a bit imba) SoJ took a hit but will quite possibly still see use in lower end gvg

also if ingame you type /wiki developer updates you can see theyre working on an ursan nerf....so can everyone quit crying about it now?

although, thier ursan nerf will probably be as successful as thier sf nerf

Additionally, we are adjusting a number of underpowered and rarely used elite skills.


In the dev notes, means there might be some new builds popping up soon, possibly even *GASP* a little bit of variety in builds.

Not really, ive never complained about them nerfing a farm. The only thing ive ever complained about is the 'Watch Yourself!' screw up. He just cant seem to do much of anything right on the PvE side. He knows more about PvP balances than PvE which makes him great on the PvP skills.

Meh. Ursan was fine, i never complained about ursan being "over powered" i liked it, i only said crap if they messed up a good skill i used. And this is like the only MMO ive ever seen where they "update" skills so frequently it almost makes you never get used to builds or skill mechanics or at least you get to using a skill after a nerf a build comes into play, anet knows then they swing the nerf hammer around again.

RE: Update: Thursday, July 10th 

my biggest problem with this update is that the nerf to shadow steps is like treating the symptoms instead of the actual disease. water magic snares have become to easy to chain, the synergy between icy shackles and freezing gust is something that i think should be looked at. it is pretty hard to keep a warrior moving at normal speed because even if you get one of the snares which is unlikely considering that you also have to remove blurred vision, there is another snare only a quick recharge away. the only true way to counter all the easy to maintain snares in gvg was shadow stepping but now even that is not a viable option.

Agreed, Why..? seriously? 0_o it is not as if shadow steppers where highly common in GvG and HA unlike scrubway and scrubway version 2 (featuring hammers) but again they do nothing to rid of of this filth! They only persist in destroying decent builds or making them weaker and more likely to be defeated by builds like sway.

/end rant

I needed that :)

Considering how Ursan skills were a bitches way of doing things, I'm glad they're nerfing this.

You feel special?

o Shadow Walk: now disables your attack skills for 1 second.


This was late, but needed. I find it humorous however that they needed +3 months to fix the sinsplit meta... It's unnecessary to apply it for PvE as well though?

QUOTE
* Dervish
o Signet of Mystic Speed: increased recharge to 20 seconds.


This would've been an okay one, if it wasn't for:
QUOTE
* Dervish
o Chilling Victory: this skill is now in the Wind Prayers attribute line.

this one. The only thing that will change now is that people will take one point of scythe mastery just to fit it into wind prayers. This skill needs a damage fix, not an attribute swap..

QUOTE
o Chant and shout effects are no longer applied to allied Guild Battle NPCs.


Bye bye Anthem of Weariness.


This is by far a very good update, but I'm curious about the one that's going to come after the GWGuru Cup. If it's as good as this one, I might start PvP-ing again...

Ok rogue, changed your ava back to the red-dotted one (best I could do), but now I know how there doing it and have reported it....hopefully this can get fixed ASAP as its a bug that I'm sure affects more than just the GW side of the site.
