Guild Wars 2

Small simple question: When can we expect a balance patch?

there are 3 ready ups in the next 2 weeks (normally biweekly) and anet is “finally ready to talk about the feature patch” (which means its pretty much not changing).

guess.

and dont hold them to it if you fail at guessing.

It’s either next week, or in July.

Feature patch April 15th.

Balance patch June iirc.

Wow really? Can they be any slower?

Balance patch is the Feature patch plus more stuff. Or “Feature Pack” based on that recent interview. It’s all but definitely coming out in the next 5 weeks.

Which puts it at 1 balance patch every half a year. Jesus….

Well, the last big balance patch was in December. So if we get one in April it’ll be 4 months. I think they’re trying to move to a big balance patch every 3-4 months.

They said the next one will be in march, but I’m still waiting but nothing atm.

please don’t challenge them to be slower. just please. it’s bad enough as is.

I would tune into GW2’s Ready Up stream this Friday as they are finally releasing information on that patch for the next 3 weeks in a row. We don’t know if the patch will come at the end of the month or at the beginning of April. People are saying May/June but I extremely doubt that although I won’t rule it out(will be extremely dissapointed). Just tune in.

Hopefully they can speed things up now that hell on earth is over(?). If I knew they would have taken this long to release the patch I would have covered my ears and sung a tune when they announced the crit damage changes.

The only thing anyone can count on is balance changes are probably not going to happen during WvW Season2 March28-May30

So either next Tuesday, or not until June.

If it is actually June, I am just going to quit the game.

that’s not right. only changes to wvw rank skills are not going to happen during season, since you cannot respec them. balance patches can come whenever they like, because why not?

because balance patch is going to allegedly “shake” up the meta… you can’t really play around and test out all the newly balanced things while WvW season is going on…

Balance patch is going to change gameplay in terms of gear, dps, etc and anet already stated they aren’t going to do that during WvW season… I could be wrong ofc but meh, until I see something official, I have no reason to believe anet will shake up the meta during a WvW season… its either coming before the season starts or after it has ended

No one knows until someone anet officially makes a response…. all of this talk is pure speculation at this point

Problem is Allie apparently said there is no patch in June. So we’re talking next Tuesday or July 1st.

Good find.

Gives me 2 weeks to beat Diablo and max out my ESO toon with plenty of time to come back and contribute to a WvW league.

They even showed off a new Ranger trait.

i am very surprised and i am looking forward to the feature patch =) but 5% of critical hit’s damage as heal? SA III gives me more and this is an adept trait. but anyway. i don’t want to complain^^ yeah new traits =)

edit:
the enig GM is great but will give it permanent projectile reflect?

April 15

balance patch date: too late.

Daendur.2357:

balance patch date: too late.

Because if you don’t have anything useful to say, you can still appeal to emotion, right?

i don’t get what you mean.

The blog says April. Guessing April

I’m sure the “feature patch” on April 15 includes a series if balance changes.
