Guild Wars 2

I’m very, VERY disappointed in Arenanet right now. Because of the bad players crying of the game getting something even slightly difficult for once they went and nerfed the Tribulation Mode. Now the yellow skin that used to show that you were at least half decent at the game have no meaning anymore and you might as well just buy the blue one from the trading post. Seriously grow a backbone Arenanet.

The only changes to Tribulation mode listed in the patch notes are as follows:

“Fixed a bug that allowed players to enter World 2-3 in Tribulation Mode before completing Worlds 2-1 and 2-2 in Tribulation Mode.
[…]
Two Tribulation mode checkpoints have been added to World 2-1.”

Two adjustments to tribulation mode, one being a bugfix and the other being two checkpoints added. Tribulation mode is still exceedingly time consuming and difficult and is truly a test of patience. I really don’t think fixing a bug and adding a couple of checkpoints to the first world negates the “value” of the yellow skins.

Then how do you explain the jump pads working like they do in Normal mode now? How do you explain this?(Linked image.)

And i’m fairly certain that things like: “The vertical rock tunnel in World 2-3 has been made easier to climb up.” Affect the TM mode as well because it affects the whole map design.

I’m still pretty impressed by anyone who has a yellow skin (I have a green one)
I got it right before the patch released, and was pretty happy about my accomplishment, no matter what the nerfs arenanet did. I do agree they should have let tribulation mode untouched, since it IS tribulation mode. Just my thoughts

All changes to the normal mode, also change the Tribulation Mode … so yeah its pretty easy now.

I am pretty disappointed as well. I guess this game really is catering to less skilled players and criers.

The average player base didn’t ask for your precious TM to be changed, stop that. Josh said Normal Mode was meant for the average player, not “criers and less skilled players” – FYI – They gave up on day one. I’m disappointed the changes made to balance NM bled into TM because this average player wanted you to have your content too.
