Play first - complain later!!!!
Normally I’d agree,
but this is the only significant balance update we’ve experienced in the past 4 months ad it completely ignores some dire imbalances that really hurt the game. And none of that is affected by Ferocity or Rune-changes.
If we had regular balance updates and the impression that the Devs actually had a clue about what to do then I’m sure things would be different.
But after 6 months of decap-Engi cheese, excessive condition spam, Hambows, petting zoos and Thieves it’s time for change. Significant change. And that simply isn’t happening.
It’s disappointing because the prospect of change is what keeps me engaged in MMOs. But the changes ANet seems to consider worth-while are nowhere near what I consider important.
I mean last December they revised Thief Initiative without actually achieving anything in the process.
I don’t particularly agree with the ’don’t question before you play’, but I would say wait until they revealed the rest of the patch.
For all we know, the Ferocity change might tie in with another change that will benefit the game.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.
