Guild Wars: complete patch notes for the month of July 2007

Dragon Festival 2007
Attention fellow citizens of Cantha,
On behalf of Emperor Kisu, it is my pleasure to announce this year's Dragon Festival, a three-day celebration of games, dance, drink, and revelry, where we commemorate the dawning of the Age of the Dragon and all those who helped to rebuild our great lands after the Jade Wind. This year, our benevolent emperor has decreed that the festival shall henceforth also celebrate our great victory over Abaddon and his demon forces.

Throughout the duration of the festival, citizens of our great empire can convene at Shing Jea Monastery to socialize with others, partake in carnival activities, and amass Victory Tokens to be redeemed for special prizes. Fans of sport can flex their muscles in the Dragon Arena, where battle prowess and longevity are recognized and rewarded.

There will be no shortage of engaging entertainment, so we hope you make the journey to our lush island and join us in revelry.

Alliance Battles

• To better reward players for participating in Alliance Battles even when in enemy territory, we have introduced a new "Underdog Bonus."
• In the Luxon defense map, Kaanai Canyon, Kurzick players will receive Kurzick faction points equal to twice their score.
• In the Luxon defense map, Etnaran Keys, Kurzick players will receive Kurzick faction points equal to their score.
• In the middle map, Saltspray Beach, neither Kurzick nor Luxon players will receive a bonus.
• In the Kurzick defense map, Grenz Frontier, Luxon players will receive Luxon faction points equal to their score.
• In the Kurzick defense map, The Ancestral Lands, Luxon players will receive Luxon faction points equal to twice their score.

Party Search

• Whenever a party enters Party Search, an automatic message will now broadcast to players in that party’s current district. For example, if Flamingo Avenger sets "glf monk" as the party’s description in the Party Search panel, "Flamingo Avenger: Party Search — glf monk" will appear in the Chat panel of players in the same district as Flamingo Avenger.
• Whenever a party leader broadcasts "glf", "lfg", "lfp", "wtb", "wts", or "wtt" in All chat, that party will now be entered into Party Search automatically with that chat message used as the party's description.

User Interface

Domain of Anguish

• In Normal mode only, damage output has been reduced for a variety of monsters.
• The size of several monster groups found in the beginning areas of the City of Torqua and the Foundry of Failed Creations have been reduced.
