re: Feature Patch 2, Announced!

From Anet,

"Feature packs in Guild Wars 2 focus exclusively on in-game features, and this one is bringing in brand-new systems, improvements to existing features, balance updates, and more. We'll be revealing more features and updates as we approach September 9, so check back frequently to stay on top of all the news!"

Looks like the different color commander icons, warrior/ranger/engineer/thief skill changes will be part of this feature pack as well :D.

REMEMBER TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR TRAITS! Last feature pack had traits reset, this one maybe the same.

Update on Crafting Precursors (8/19):
Anet, "We want to let you know that the ability to build your precursor will not be in our upcoming Feature Pack. The way progression and rewards work in Guild Wars 2 have changed quite a bit since we initially talked about that feature, and our main horizontal progression systems are about to get some additional updates in the upcoming feature pack. Because of that, we are looking into several ways to integrate building your precursor into our new updated reward and progression systems we’re working on, which is requiring additional development time and iteration. As always, we’ll share details on this system once it’s far enough along in production we’re ready to discuss it."

Update on Commander Tags 8/20
Anet, "We’re also happy to announce that once you are a commander, you will have access to a variety of colors. Choose from red, yellow, purple, or classic blue to customize your commander icon!" https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/502136525728251904

Update on Mega Server  and Global Guild 8/25
Guildies will receive guild bonuses regardless of what server they are on.  The megaserver will reserve spots on a map for guilds that are doing a guild mission. Text chat filter is now disabled by default. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/continued-improvements-to-the-megaserver-system/

Update on Crafting, Dungeon Instance Owners, and Zerg Server Performance 8/27
Will be able to have multiple crafting windows open, if an instance owner left a party the dungeon instance will not close, and server performance improved for high framerates on people's machines. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/september-2014-feature-pack-improvements-galore/?utm_source=client

New Crafters Backpack, new low levels weapons, and profession associated loot 8/27
This backpack appearance will change as you upgrade it, each crafting discipline has a unique skin.  Low level characters have a chance of finding a unqiue rare weapon with better stats than green \ blue as they level.  Also, loot will drop more for your profession rather than be random.

Leveling will now give rewards (for new characters), personal story unlock changes 8/28
We’ve done some pretty major overhauls to make the rewards for completing chapters feel much more compelling than they were in the past. Personal story chapters will absolutely be worth completing for your character as you progress. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-fresh-start-the-new-player-experience-in-guild-wars-2/

Mini and Finishers will be account bound in the wardrobe 9/3
You'll have the option to make all your minis account bound to be used on as many characters you like.  Finishers will also be in the wardrobe. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/miniatures-and-finishers-in-your-account-wardrobe/?utm_source=client

Collections Achievements 9/4
New achievements for particular weapons you have can get you even more rewards.  The article will explain more. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/miniatures-and-finishers-in-your-account-wardrobe/?utm_source=client

NEW! Trading Post 9/4
Old trading post has been scrapped and replace with one that is entirely in game instead of using an external program.  Hopefully, this means Mac users will have less problems. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-new-trading-post/
