BEWARE!! Tonight's update makes it impossible to log in. This was reported by hundreds of GW players and Anet is now working to fix it. So it might be a while before we can get on. Lots of cool sounding changes though. Nevermind, Anet fixed it already! woot!

"Improved pets so that they have the equivalent of armor infusions."
What does that mean?

It means that when you get there you'll understand. Wouldnt want to take the fun out of the game for you yet However, I am curious as to this. If you unlock a skill using this balthazar stuff do you get it for non PvP characters? that was never specified.

As I undstand this, no your PvE character gains nothing, this is only for PvP unlocks for PvP only characters... that being said, I am curious if the skill unlocks will require a skill point... I doubt it as your PvE character does not receive the skill, but I'll have see for myself I guess. (However, if the PvE did receive the skill, I wouldn't mind it costing a skill point.) Also I am liking the improved Collector Info. definite Wiki Update comming...

Just to clearly state another effect of this update: you no longer gain Exp from a kill in PvP.

Skills from the priests dont cost skill points, thankfully, although they dont unlock for your PvE char.
Finally they have put times on skills that just say "crippled" or "bleeding" rather than "bleeding for X seconds". Now I actually know how long my axe skills make them hurt for!

I bought a skill from one last night just to have a look and its unlocked for PVP but nothing on my RP character (Which I expected) It did not need a skill point either. Seems skill points will only be used for RP skills.
Potential Spoiler
Also the pet infusion means the Mursaat won't eat your pets alive anymore. As before pet's did not have the 'infuse' type of armor flag on them and as such took extra damage from mursaat attacks (Like we do if we dont have infused armor on.) So basicly when you infuse and your pets with you, they infuse too. Mursaat won't kick your pet's ass so easily now.
Im not sure if this means if you get your pets from the later missions, such as Abaddons Mouth and The Underworld that they are automaticaly infushed though. Could be intresting to see.

Update – Thursday, June 30
Closed exploits in Snake Dance, Twin Serpent Lakes, and Riverside Province. Fixed two rare but serious server bugs. Fixed several rare client bugs.
Just thought I'd let you all in on the minor update... anyone know what the exploits were? Also, I hope for Temor's sake that they closed off the Err =7! bug

One player posted a screenshot of the ground after doing this before picking up the drops and 3 golds and a purple sat there. Lots of blues and about (guessing) 500 gold. Note: Iv just found this little guide. Not a exploit but a so-called Chest Run. Meric found something like this in the Crystal Desert but this one is outside of Port Sledge, South Shiverpeaks. Ok after reading on here about the Ember Light Camp chest run, and finding it hard, i have found a better run! Firstly i would advise you have some skill which allows u to run faster (but it isnt definately needed), my preferance was sprint being a warrior. Go to Port Sledge, then on exiting it into witmans folly. Take the first right, and follow it round a small ice pond on the left, you may encounter one or two groups of Grawl but run past then they will not chase you. Then once u get a chance turn right again, follow this path, you should encounter azure shadows, but they will not cause much harm. around this area there will be a chest with 75-250G in, then follow the road to the right again trying to dodge the azure shadows, there should b another chest with 100-250G. then go back to the port and start again! I managed to make 3k in about 6 mins of doing this! (C) MPS (best give credit to them

There was actually two updates, as they managed to get some stuff in they thought they were gonna ahve to wait for next week to put in Faction rewards upgraded for everywhere except GvG, means I get more points in arena now, which cant be bad. Grenths needed to be nerfed. Ganking builds were ruining the game, as they were practically impossible to beat unless you were an uber good team

Very small update:
Update – Friday, July 22
* Closed equipment exploit.
Hmm dont know what expoilt this was.

Post by Yoko Nishi on Jul 23, 2005 16:06:33 GMT -5
Perhaps starting a character, selling everything on them, giving the gold to a friend to hold. Keep repeating and that friend has a large amount of gold on them, then you can just split it?
Not sure, was just a wild guess, I've never even tried selling my equipment.

Not an update, but at least it's news about updates. There's information on ascended content, character advancement, PvP balance, and Observer mode.

Interesting update today:
Improved traders so that they maintain more stable prices and closer spreads between buy and sell prices. Improved traders so that traders from all regions (America, Europe, and Korea) now buy and sell from the same stock and charge the same prices.
Looks like they are trying to stablize the economy.

Ah--that would explain why I heard someone complaining in lion's arch that prices were too low...although why they complained about low prices I don't know.

Ok so I've stooped so low as to give rumor from a frog...yes I know I'm sad. But what's weird is I've never seen this frog so now I'm on a quest to find the talking GW frog and ask him questions. Here's the thread over at TGH which talks about the Frog's predictions for the updates as well as him saying that the story of Gwen is not complete. Oh and the update is to be in one week.
