Not necessarily a bad thing but I’m wondering why the changes weren’t listed in the patch notes?

Also – apparently we need to kill Zhaitan in addition to Jade Maw now.

Issue is:

if you are used to blink around behind maw you end up behind an invisible wall and forced to relog or you are stuck forever….

Also obstructed at any attempt of attack.

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

Could you explain how the glitch was done, and how it made the fight easier? PRL 39 and never heard of this.

Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

You use to be able to stand behind maws head and use life steal to kill him really fast. Dark fields + ice bow killed him in seconds. Caused bugs if you got him right down to zero or killed him before killing the colossi though.

Changes weren’t listed because they don’t want to notify the whole gaming community about exploits. Some dev (I forget who) mentioned it might cause people who didn’t know about the exploit, to use that information to find a new one.

I remember reading it when they patched the little corner spot for hotw p1 final boss.

RIP in peace Robert

WTH! I am used to doing Jade Maw pretty much the same way since January. Yeah they slightly changed it once but it was more or less the same. Not aware of any exploit for Maw and feel aggrieved I will now have to fight those stupid squid at some point.
