Guild Wars 2

So, as you may or may not know, the Jade Maw map was changed to add a big chunk of jade to the space on the left where you could jump up to get behind the maw’s face to hit the right had tentacle without agroing them mobs.

However, you can still jump up the slope to the far left of this new chunk and still get behind. It’s like they didn’t bother to test that the fix worked.

So, stealth fixes and ones that don’t even work. Do you bother testing?

They also stealth fixed the safe spot in svarnir shaman when all the circles appear, had a few guys die trying to stand there yesterday. Didn’t notice there was another way around the new block in maw, guess they didn’t pay a lot of attention to their fix.

They also stealth fixed the place you could stand to light the fire at the beginning without dealing with the waves of Svanir.

Glad that they added fixes for all that. Its not a big deal that you can still get behind the Jade Maw, but at least you have to fight your way there now first.

The Svanir Shaman safe spot was indeed kinda silly, glad they fixed that.

Its not the fixes that annoy us, it’s the fact they are stealth changing it. It doesn’t foster trust.

Personally, I love stealth fixes to exploits or borderline exploits. If players go out of their way to invalidate fights or exploit continually, it’s only fair they get at least one repair bill or a little inconvenience when the hotfix goes in to make up for it.

I actually ran straight past that tenticle without even realising it was a new addition.

Stealth fixes and no changes to relics, rings or skins. WHY?

You don’t have to fight your way there. It’s basically the exact same.

There are a few other things not mentioned here, including fixes mentioned in the patch notes that are not actually fixed.

The point of update notes is not to highlight bugs. Plenty of stuff is stealth fixed all the time. When a big update is released, they list the most important changes that most people care about. Minor changes, such as fixing the safe spot at the Svanir Shaman, are hardly worth noting in the patch notes.

Why do you react as if they are “sneaking it in”? As if they deliberately are trying to hide the fact that it is fixed, and that we as players have the divine right to know every minor change made to the game.

Frankly, if they didn’t release update notes at all, I’d be fine with that as well. It is a blessing that they occasionally let us know what they are doing, but they are not obligated to do it.
