Guild Wars 2

…things ANet removed with this amazing feature patch?
So far I know about:

-Idle animations.
-Interactive items/minigames in low level areas.
-A part of the personal story.

What else is there to add?

What do you mean by Idle animations? My characters still rocking up onto her tip toes and sashaying around . . . as a Sylvari.

My Norn are still flexing because they can.

Human female stretch animation is gone afaik.

Perhaps he’s talking about Human Female idle animation where they fix their hair and strecth their arms.

Those animations had issues with shoulders, they’d sink into the torso while those animations are playing…

charr animations seem to be complete…but yea i noticed human females got a lot less of stuff they usually do and it SEEMS to me that human males are missing animations…but dont quote me on that one

This bug has been reported and is currently under investigation. Thanks for your reports, everybody.

You know, there’s some other stuff I listed aswell, right?

Yeah, I just don’t know what to say about that yet. I actually haven’t played the game yet since the patch.

The other stuff is known and intended… So up… No idea what you want done? They removed them for their own reasons. I’m not saying they are the best choices but they really don’t affect my gameplay that much, even on a new character I barely noticed. And much of the stuff that was “locked” for new characters wasnt’ locked at all.

Things that were removed:

- Appropriate downscaling algorithm

- Items from some karma vendors (such as some vendors in Queensdale no longer selling gathering tools or salvage kits)

- No more champions in starter zones (not that they hadn’t almost all already been removed already)

Downscaling problem is a bug, they are working on it.

They took those items out because they are “locked” for new character accounts. Just go into the starter city and you can buy them there, also all the master crafters in the low-level zone Crafting Depots have gathering tools. Also Merchants outside of the lower part of the zones still sell Salvaging kits and gathering tools, like the merchant at the level 8 Heart in Caledone still sells all her wares.

Champs in starting zones were all reduced awhile ago, this is not from this patch, as far as I know. The World Bosses are all still there.

I’ve been using this thread to keep track of things I’ve noticed: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/List-of-changes-and-issues/first#post4395219

- No black lion trading post npc on starter maps
- No node farms on starter maps
-Guild Bank no longer accessible from guild registrar (so no guild bank on wvw bls without upgraded keep)

These are the most disturbing imo, there are a few other bugs/kinks in the linked thread.

Paradox beat me to it but yeah the downscaling bug dev response can be found here:

Ryan Diederich.8179:

Hi, thanks for bringing this up.

I’ve looked into the down-scaling calculations and identified the bug that is causing this issue. There’s definitely a lot of stats being lost when scaled down that isn’t intended.

Node farms like the potato farm? I don’t know about other maps but the one in Wayfarer was moved and not removed. Still got taters.

Gathering Nodes are still there, some are moved around but to see them in a low level toon you have to have gathering tools equiped is all.

not sure what all was removed but i know nothing positive was added to the game
sorry if my list was vague

-Player Skill

Good to know, I was on a level 15 character with tools equipped but didn’t find the lettuce node farm in QD and hadn’t searched the rest of the map.

You could update your post to show it’s not removed….. but confirmed as a bug.

But we love us some drama, eh.

They changed or “dumbed down” some hearts. Was it really that hard to pick up tools and put them where they belong? I’m having a hard time understanding why these changes were necessary, nobody complained in the first place about this stuff…
