Are you excited for the Feature Pack?
You have no idea how HYPE i am for a universal distribution platform patch!
Maybe the next time we have a feature patch it can contain features that make the game better…..
Very excited! About to pee myself in fact. Keep opening launcher to check if it’s out, can watch it download while I work. %)
I watched the WoodenPotatoes preview yesterday and I can’t wait. Collections, wee! Going to roll a lvl 1 warrior, because, despite all the 80s I got, none of them is a warrior. I finally shall give in to the warrior trend. Will level him up 1 to 80, check out the levelling changes, while doing collections. Going to be grand.
no.
game will still be boring.
just with more fancy buttons and ui
Alt: lvl 80 Mesmer
There are aspects I am looking forward to, and I’m willing to adopt a “wait and see” stance toward the rest.

Because we can’t be angry about both?
Nope—simple as that!
I am excited for several things with this patch and I am going to immerse myself in a brand new alt that I am going to loot all the things and complete all the maps and do stuff I haven’t done since I first started.

Not in the least.
Mud Bone – Sylvari Ranger
I’m not against it, but no… quite a handful of fixes the game needed, some nerfs here and there, and more stagnant gemstore-focused stuff. #IMO

absolutely this
I can’t find a single reason to be hyped about this patch. Its just a merge with the chinese client which in many players opinions it is actually worst.
I can only asume that it seems to be easier to update the chinese client than the NA client so we got theirs. Any argument about if the changes are good or bad its irrelevant because it was never something to be fixed, we are just getting what they got for other reasons, not balancing, fixing, updating, etc… its just a client merge and deal with it.
As a guild officer, whose guild has moved across servers, I am curious to see what happens with that, the merits, upgrades and such. Other than that, the update is basically an interface revamp, which is nice, but not game changing.
I am not. Mainly because the ranger previews two months ago got me overhyped, that when we got to the necro changes, they were utterly dissapointing to me and I’m honestly thinking of quitting this game.p
Taking a break from GW2 to play various
Nintendo games..
How long before it’s released? It’s 1:45 In New York and no patch… just wondering when it’s gonna drop.

Probably another hour or so.
They JUST posted in game in a yellow message:
“We will bring the servers down for maintenance in 1 hour. Estimated downtime will be 15 minutes. Thank you for your patience.”
I am confused as I’ve never seen a patch referred to as “maintenance,” rather they are “new builds.”
So, basically, seems safe to say that the release may be up by 3:30pm EST.

Well, they are doing some maintenance with this patch if I recall. Some optimization stuff.
Not that time for that would matter for me anyway. It’ll take me more than 15 min to download the patch. Stupid ATT and their crappy internet.
15 minutes duration for a maintenance, eh? Pretty nice compared to the majority of other MMOs.

All based on PST times. Always has and always will be. You might not get it until later tonight in your zone( or any time now). It’s already Wed in some time zones and they have to wait until the business day starts on the west coast.
So, basically, seems safe to say that the release may be up by 3:30pm EST.
No safer to say sometime today, base on PST and no other problems.
Can’t wait for the Mesmer ileap tweak and Thief nerf, holy kitten it’s gonna be good. Oh wait you mean, regarding PVE? Who the hell cares, wrong game dudes.
I won’t be able to log in before tonight when I get home from work, so whatever. =P
Yes, feature packs have become my most looked forward to updates because they address and improve the base game functionality and streamline features, or add new ones.
Huzzah… all I have to say
“Dungeoneer” Collect all the ascended accessories from each dungeon
Looks like they are introducing some of the missing stat combos for ascended trinkets…
Those were a cool additional thing coming, from teh WP video, but like he says, what happens if you delete it? Or want more than one? Hopefully we’re going to get something else soon to let us get more of them.
Please give us a keyring…

Well, I didn’t say he didn’t ask good questions. It’s still nice to know that some of the other stats like sin and carrion will now be available via the ascended trinkets…in a round about way.
I am still hoping that 500 jewelcrafting will bring with it the ability to craft these things. To help broaden the acquisition methods of ascended items in general.
The one part I was most excited for (collections) turned out to be kinda laughable. The rewards are so insanely pathetic. I can’t believe how stingy they’re being with actually rewarding new, good, skins. It’s insane how rarely they are willing to make IN GAME skins, when that’s their main reward goals.
1 backpack for making EVERY Spirit Skin? are you kidding me? It doesn’t even match the weapons.
I was excited for the collections part of the patch, but the rewards are underwhelming and the TP power users have made every single collection out of reach for me. So now i’m not sure if I will even bother checking out this patch.

Yet/But they got no problems making 16 different weapons skins (usually with particle effects) pretty quickly for the gemstore. -_-

Yeah, that’s what kittenes me off. One of the few issues I have with their monetization is that they have moved rewards to the Gem Store. To me that is bad on 2 levels: paying $100s of dollars to get the new skins & removing effort from in-game rewards making gameplay unrewarding.
