Well looks like they put in a pretty damn large update today... A few of the skills have been reworked, it seems.

Some are good, some... er.. not so good.

<a href="http://www.guildwars.com/support/gameupdates/"
Here's</a> the listing, anyway.

Why did they decrease attack speed for Beastial fury? WHY? :cries:

New title screen, too. What you guys think of the nightfall backdrop?

Edit: New music too... LOL! Not sure I'm a fan.

Sorry mate - 300 MB and still only 65% done. Looks like I won't be on tonight.

See you next time.

The last third goes really quickly - and we havent left yet [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="cyan">Well we left, and all died :( </font>

Holy crap! Assassins just got some steroids!
And Mind Burn! The biggest damage skill in the game just got buffed ALOT! And Banish is gonna start killing Spirits by the millions. Now I'm gonna go and sulk at my now nerfed Hammer Warrior.

<font color="cyan">Finally nailed the THK bonus, with Mhenlo and Lina.

:D </font>

Nice work mate. We got a hella bad spawn to with BOTH monk bosses.

Good to see the recharge on spirits got reduced. Not happy about the bonus damage on Shelter but thems the breaks.

My Prot Assassin got a few buffs out of this as well to make her damage output a bit higher.

<font color="cyan">I managed to get IMoM bonus as well.

Only Abaddons Mouth now until I'm protector of Tyria...might need some help with that one tomorrow [img]smile.gif[/img]

But was very unlucky with two monk spawns. When I did it I only got one of the monks.

Hmmm All I need is Dunes and Ice Caves. Davo and I are probably going to do them tonight if you want to join us?

Will see if I can get on to join you - with Ica Caves, if we can get Peter to join that would be good. His monk is only up to Ice Caves at the moment so it would help him out as well.

Off to pick up a pizza [img]smile.gif[/img]

You guys are doing the Proctector of Tyria title? I got it on my monk, if you want if I'm online I can bring her and help.

The update is 19.45 GB and thank god I have fiber opitcs link now it only took about 3 min but my other comp is still on reg cable and its been 6 min so far and 85% done. I feel for all the dial ups out there at least the started the release thursday noon west coast of U.S. everyone should be good and upgraded in time for the event this weekend.

19.45GB???? Think there is a typo their mate since the whole size of my GW.dat file is 3.49GB.

The size of the new build is an extra 470MB when totally uncompressed using the -image command.

Plus the preview weekend is next weekend. This weekend we get double faction.

There are two new Powerful Hammer Skills comming with the new chapter so don't sulk for long. One works a little like Cyclone Axe that will help knock down a intire group when your surrounded to help escape and still do some damage on the way out.
GW is usually pretty good about taking nerfed skills and replaceing them with better more ballanced new skills. I just wish I could find the Damn artical that showed all the new skills comming with Night Fall. There were a few Warrior skills I really liked. I believe one was called "Cut The Chains" or something like that to counter the Ritualist Communing skills like "Binding Chains" A Skill that reduces your attack speed 90% for 17 seconds down to only 25% for 5 seconds and that can mean the difference between living and dieing, but don't take this as fact I still need to find the new skill descriptions again.
Most of these updated skills were needed because with the new skills comming would have made warriors way to powerful and assassin wouldn't have lasted for seconds against them.

But I also have 4 games of each on my comp and Have bought 20 more of the 9.99
character slots and only have one open character slot at this time. so mabe thats why it was so big on my game. I didn't think of that when I put the 19.45GB my second comp said the same thing 19.45GB just as it hit the 100% mark and I have 2 accounts for a total of 19 slots on each account well 19 on one and 17 on the other for a total of 36 characters. I told you I've got a little addicted to the game. I'm trying to get 1 of each character combo that I like and want LOTS of B-Day gifts. [img]smile.gif[/img]
