Guild Wars 2

Is this month’s big balance patch tommorow? Or Is it just going to be the Dragon Bash event?

I thought mid month was the mini content patch, and end of month was balance and more content?

Yeah I think tomorrow is just content then we still gotta wait till end of month for balance patch

So already 2+ months of waiting for balance patch? Great 1 month more. I just hope that this balance patch will give some SERIOUS changes, not like previous that was just destroying game. But what i want to expect. Already know that they again focus on usless turrets, that no1 using.

I wouldn’t expect “serious” changes. I’d expect some changes, a bit each month, until it’s done. Changing everything at once often leads to more problems than doing it a bit at a time.

If turrets are considered useless and no one is using them, would that not be the perfect place to start when it comes to balancing the game?

Every major content update contained some balance changes as well, so I expect it for tommorow as well.

Do you really expect forum posters to understand that? To forum people “balance” means “buff my profession and nerf all others”.

In my case it’s “buff my profession to match the most beloved” which happens to be warriors, in PVE btw.

That’s easy actually. Change deep strike to -20% signet cooldown and split signets for PVP with a 50% nerf (undoing the previous overbalance patch). That would bring warriors in line with other professions again.

Since I am playing all the professions, all are getting buffed. Hooray for me!

A letter to the balance team:

“Rock is overpowered
Paper is fine
Yours, Scissors”

My thoughts on their “balancing” are in my signature.

But to stay on topic, no I don’t think the balancing patch will be today, we will only get half the Dragon Bash, the other half will either be bugged, unplayable or will be reserved for a later date

That’s how almost every nerf or buff outcry reads.

Brilliant post. I’m still laughing. lol

Balancepatch will come end of june (at least first one, more seem to follow), although it’s likely some things will change tomorrow too.
(Some) traits will apparently change too, which is big imo

i have to say its sad as a PvE player i FEAR balance patch :|
I used a D/D PvE ele (don t tell me is OP….. in pve….it Always been UP).

After nerfs i changed to phantasm PvE mesmer and i see pvp players asking for nerfs ……

And buff for warriors.

I fear the worst…..unless for the first time they don t remember most players play pve.

Balancing – Rock-Paper-Scissors : too funny but so true.
I do not envy the team in charge of balance for this game. Until they decide whether to separate PvP/WvW/PvE in terms of balance, I believe any undertaking in trying to balance the professions is monumental.
Don’t expect major changes with each patch and you won’t be disappointed. It’s a slow and painful process.
