Update - March 19, 2015[edit]

Updated condition damage. Previously, a condition that had a fractional remainder of time after it dealt damage would not inflict the rest of its damage. For example, a 1.5-second burn would deal 1 second of burning damage, then fail to inflict the remaining 0.5 seconds of burning. Conditions will now deal this fractional damage either at the beginning or end of their duration, depending on when the next damage pulse would occur and their remaining duration.

Streaming Client Beta: Added -StreamingClient flag to allow downloading while playing Guild Wars 2. See our blog post for more information.
The number of votes required to kick a party member has been increased to 50% of the party. As an example, in parties of five, three votes will be required.
WvW map completion is no longer a requirement for a character to achieve World Completion, and these maps no longer award map completion rewards.
New camera settings in the General Options panel:
- Added a Field of View slider.
- Added a Zoom Sensitivity slider, which controls how quickly zooming in and out occurs.
- Added a Collision Sensitivity slider, which controls how readily the camera will ignore obstructions between itself and your character.
- Removed the Position slider.
- Added a Horizontal Position slider, which controls how much the camera is shifted to the left or right of your character.
- Added a Vertical Position slider, which controls how much camera height increases as you zoom out.
- Added an Enable First-Person Camera check box. To enter first-person mode, zoom in again while at minimum camera zoom.
- Added an Adjust Camera to Character Height check box. When unchecked, the camera will be placed at the same height regardless of your character size.
- Added a Restore Defaults button.

Added a flashing effect when hovering over map legend icons to indicate incomplete POIs, vistas, tasks, skill challenges, and waypoints.
Stability: This boon has been changed from a duration stack type to an intensity stack type. Crowd-control effects will remove one instance of stability apiece each time they are applied. Each ability and trait has been adjusted to apply a certain number of stacks. All instances of stability not listed in these release notes will remain at one stack.

The Revenant class icon is now visible (but grayed out) in character creation in the profession selection screen. When hovering over the icon, a text box reads: "This feature requires upgrading to Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns."
