Guild Wars 2

Just for people wondering what the patch was that they DLed

Discovery crafting may now use items directly from a player’s bank.

awesome one

Added a system to limit the experience and gold that players can receive from speed-farming dungeons.

oh no

Rocket Boots: This skill is no longer usable underwater. This is a temporary change until we can figure out why players can launch themselves into the sky using this skill.

Well, it’s Rocket Boots for a reason

I laughed at that one

Why is there no mention of what you did to the dungeons? This is a pretty big community issue. You’re communication, or rather lack thereof, is extremely worrisome. Please, PLEASE take a note from Trion. You must be honest and forthcoming about how you are changing the game.

+ Should actually get people wanting to play dungeons, not just farm them
- Rewards still suck so it’s not worth doing it

Good call on trying to nerf the speedruns and farms but, the rewards should be increased so taking a long time to do them feels rewarding.

They buffed the lvl 40 cm dungeon and is extremely difficult now.

Vanille, are you talking about, “Added a system to limit the experience and gold that players can receive from speed-farming dungeons.” ?

If so, it’s probably not some big dungeon change, it’s probably a timer that starts after the first time completing it, and if you complete it again in X time after it’s initial completion you get it cut by Y amount.

CM no longer a powerleveler’s dream.

CoF no longer a gold / Exotic item farmer’s dream.

Knew this was going to eventually happen. These changes actually came later than I expected. The market is now flooded with gold and everyone is running around with CoF gear.

Sucks for casual players who didn’t get a chance to “exploit.” LOL

With time all the gear, gold and levels earned will be nothing but a faint memory. Many games and game expansions have random little exploits like this that people take advantage of as much as they can before the inevitable fix comes.

It does suck that ANet isn’t being truthful and forthright with their official patch notes.

If you nerfed dungeons, let the public know. No need to keep it hush hush. We’ll find out anyways.

So I guess CM and CoF can be considered “stealth nerfs?”

No, I’m talking about the fact that they actually buffed it. The opponents do a lot more damage. They added a new class called “Seraphist Bomber” and they one hit you.

Their bombs are easily dodged but they keep throwing it at you after you’ve dodged.

Yes. I did CM once for myself, another to help a friend. Yesterday when she asked me to help her boyfriend with it since he hadn’t done it, I agreed to help.

Already within the first few minutes we were all continiously one shot by the golem, upon finishing the dungeon I was questioning what I was doing wrong and left with one crazy repair bill. Not cool.

Oh thank god CM was buffed!! That place was a freaking cake walk… like i wasn’t even paying attention a good majority of the time while doing it… Not sure what CoF stands for… I’m guessing Citadel of Flames? Not sure how that one changed AT ALL

Anyone know if they fixed the broken skill points in Malchior’s Leap and Cursed Shore with this patch?

Yes. I finally got my 100% this morning. All is well.
