Today is patch day ?
News and Announcements tell us that Lord Faren’s Rapier and Chicknado is in the Gem Store. However, the Gem Store has not been updated yet to include those items in game.
/sadpanda
Maybe they forgot. :P
LOL. In all seriousness, I would also like to know. That sword looks like it might need to be in my wardrobe.
I have no need for finishers but I might need the Chickenado finisher anyway …
I am unaware of any patch today or any indication of one coming.
New gem store items, but I’m not sure that actually needs a patch.
My personal guess is, no patch today.
starting to like to know this too..
on the forum/blog site is already the announcement for todays patch gemstore items and yet the patch is still missing to add the todays gemstore stuff (and hopefully other stuff like SAB) to the game to give us somethign new to do for the next 2 weeks or longer while we wait for HoT
I posted earlier about wishing they wouldn’t put up a notice that something’s in the store when it isn’t in fact in the store.

That was hours ago.
They’re busy with the folks who was invited for the HOT preview to Anet HQ.
WvW – Structure Upgrade Re-Work idea!
WvW – Art of War Guild Buffs & Keep Claiming Re-Work idea!
Removing seasonal stuff is my guess.
It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….
that rapier looks actually more impressive then most bladed legendaries… and im not even sorry to say it. 10/10 will buy (2 times.. my woman gets one too)

It looks too much like Bonetti’s Rapier for me to be all that impressed.

Because we can’t be angry about both?

well.. im a “rapier fanboy” so stuff like this is always eye catching. Also bonetti´s is rather “bland” if put side by side with that new one. Sure.. matter of taste without a doubt but for me this is a gold mine.
Also bonetti´s is based on a 17th century german rapier while the new one is more spanish 17th century with its cup hilt.

i take what i can
kitten it. When are they gonna but the bunny ears back in there?
Rapier fanboy too. I like Bonetti’s, but I love some variation too.
Buying it for sure and swinging it like an axe, I don’t care. It does look better than 99% of the other swords on my thief

Bonetti’s Rapier barely even has a guard on it. You must be thinking of the Lovestruck sword .
Faren’s weapon should be http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Silly_Scimitar_Skin
I’ll lose my kitten if they sneak in that mini-dragon! But, well, you know. . . .
I was thinking that Bonetti’s was closer to the lovestruck guard. My mistake.

update is probably gonna happen in 2 hour when the daily reset and also remove the lunar festival daily.
Aw man. You’re probably right.
Why do I have the feeling, they are really forgetting it??
They are like what now… kind of roughly 2+ hours overdue, the blog post announcement has be added even alot earlier
is there really today some kind of special event over there at ANet for some invited people regarding a HoT Preview that they kind of could have all their attention bonded to that at the moment, that they could forget all others for today??
Its so unusual that they let us wait so long xD and honestly, they could at least say a word about it, when exactly the patch will come, or if it gets postponed to tommorrow cause of whyever ^^
Usually the items are in gem store long before they post any info on site and I have to read it on Dulfy to see info. This is first time I seen them do that in reverse. :P
There needs to be a patch today for gemshop update. Lord Farens rapier and the new finisher.
Rumor is today’s update will remove the Lunar Festival and update the gem store. Also, it’s going to remove those toy golems.
the chinese festival gem store items have 7 days left on them so Im guessing the festival stuff is staying for another 7 days too

Well, with the variables of time zones, “today” may or may not apply. This is because, as was mentioned in a thread a few months ago, players in some zones note that our “today” — and it’s barely past mid-day for us here in the Pacific time zone — is actually “tomorrow” for some. Or, in the case of our Aussia and Kiwi players, it’s actually next week!
There is a build planned today (our time, anyway) and we’re hearing it should be live in the next few hours.
Thanks for your patience!

any chance we can get something exciting to bridge the gap till the xpac?
Hey Gaile, I know it might be pretty hard for you to tell but it’s very late here already (11 pm) and I’m just wondering… should I got to sleep or wait for the patch?
any chance we can get something exciting to bridge the gap till the xpac?
Hah! I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I wouldn’t hold my breath either but I’d love to see something like… I don’t know. Maybe some boxes. Fun asuran boxes. Yeah I’d completely asuran boxes. Everyone would love them. It would be even better if those boxes were full of adventures to go on. And if they were 16-bit-ish. Siiigh, one can dream, righ?
Gaile, can you get them to send everyone 10 free gold with the new build? John Smith totally said it was cool with him.
So you kinda enjoy making a bit surprise out of every new content now, don’t you? XD
Not that it’s a big problem to me, I like to be surprised.
However, I still need 2 chars get their map completed and 3 to finish their personal story. So if there won’t be anything I won’t get too mad. Still need many runs for Dungeoneer, too. Still lot to do!
(But if, just IF… there will be sth like SAB part 3, I could TOTALLY step back from that and take my time!)
Today’s build is do not collect 200$ do not pass go go diredtly to jail.
Bail is set at 10$ spent in the Lion’s Arch Store.
(But if, just IF… there will be sth like SAB part 3, I could TOTALLY step back from that and take my time!)
no sab. Just some quality of life improvements and bug fixing.

I wanted something else in exchange for the Lunar festival though.
Cool bi-weekly update. Totally worth waiting.
Very excited about the dye thing, and I wouldn’t mind Lunar New Year getting replaced with nothing if Lunar New Year itself had been more than a little lottery with nothing great from it and a minigame that I played about an hour a day and found to be meh.

Yes, its a bit disappointing considering the last update was already very small with the rereleased dragonball arena and some decorations.

but now your chance to make free laurels daily is going away with nothing to replace it :I
Argh. No new content except some nice new way of previewing dyes in TP / new finisher selection.
So why did we not get the Mini Mystical Dragon pet?
Definitely this is going to entertain me for a couple of weeks :P
…and still no SAB. Even if they have nothing else to put in, they still won’t put SAB back…
So why did we not get the Mini Mystical Dragon pet?
Probably because its not actually related to Dragon Ball or Lunar New Year at all. Its actually been in the game for quite some time IIRC, but it just happened to get a bit more exposure recently.
From what I hear, its something the Chinese client gets for their VIP program. Of which the US / European clients have no analogue. So whether we’ll ever get it, who knows.
Good-bye mini-dragon hopes.
Haven’t a clue why they won’t just release SAB the way it was, so many liked it (not me). But it would keep folks occupied. Lunar New Year was meh… Gives me a reason to go back to FF XIV until HOT comes back (aside from logging in once a day to get the rewards.
:( Yeah no SAB or Mini Mystical Dragon.
