"Map names on the world map now display completion status." AT LAST! Thank you ANET!! --Kristofferus 02:29, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

That's nothing. Read about the bank? It got new slots! MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 04:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Dragon Explore Dungeon?[edit]

I assume it means Arah, correct? Why didn't we just put that. 173.69.23.64 03:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

If something is wrong, a 'sic' is added, or GW2Wikki notes are added at the bottom to clarify, but any typos or mistakes remain unchanged, since the wiki just mirrors the original text. We don't know if they are ever going to do something like adding typos on purpose to hint something, so we can't take the liberty to correct the nots more than that. MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 04:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
I agree entirely. Though I don't imagine something making it into the game with the official name of "dragon explore dungeon." Then again, I'd be shocked if someone at ANet didn't know the name "Arah." We can never know what the Gamegivers are thinking! —Jyavoc 04:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Pact Weapons[edit]

Interesting to note, is that this update botched a couple of pact weapon skins (most noticeably the greatsword and 1-handed sword). They were bumped down to fairly hideous looking model, and are missing some of their details.--80.100.223.224 12:09, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Note: The Old Light house in Lions arch is unreachable[edit]

This is not true, you can jump down and climb up to the entrance. User Karuro Sig.png Karuro 15:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I just altered the note to be more accurate - the bridge was moved, but it's still accessible. However, you can't get inside it. Konig/talk 05:13, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
But you can still go inside it.. Here's a shot of me after climbing up, getting inside and walking up the stairs to the destroyed bit. All the NPCs are also still inside, including Lady Magge Marlow who doesn't seem to care that a Karka damaged the lighthouse. User Karuro Sig.png Karuro 13:16, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Odd, I tried getting inside from all angles and couldn't. Konig/talk 21:47, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
It has become a jumping puzzle. You have to find the starting spot around the base, then keep jumping around on the protruding rocks until you reach the door, following a counter-clockwise spiral upMithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 18:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Item change[edit]

Sun Beads are now account bound and not soul bound :) The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.194.101.6 (talk) at 17:38, 15 December 2012‎ (UTC).

Mesmer skills vs Bosses[edit]

"Fixed a bug that allowed mesmers to steal skills from Kasha using Arcane Thievery"

How many Mesmer skills actually work against bosses? It seems like half my usual build does not work when fighting a boss. Surely, the whole point of Arcane Theivery (and half a dozen other skills) is that they should work as described against a boss just as much as it works against any other foe. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.26.127.154 (talk) at 20:26, 15 December 2012 (UTC).

Those skills are insanely overpowered. I'll be nice if there was some kind of table of equivalences so you'll get a toned down copy or the next best thing from the list of skills player can use, but using a monster skill? That's simply too much. MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 02:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Gem exchange scaling[edit]

It must be this update that the Market Data graph now scales correctly.--Relyk 23:51, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

New recipes[edit]

Bowl of Ice Cream Base was one of the new discoverable Chef recipes added by this update. Are we recording which recipes are added in each update? -- Dashface User Dashface.png 08:03, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Can no longer preview other armor types[edit]

It seems that you can no longer mix and match armor types (light/medium/heavy) with the preview feature, as you can only preview the correct armor class for your character. Was this changed with this update or a prior one? -- Dashface User Dashface.png 09:27, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

This update. 75.37.23.222 09:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
I've added this to the Guild Wars 2 Wiki notes. Feel free to adjust the wording for clarity. -- Dashface User Dashface.png 10:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
