So whats up ?
I’d consider it game over if I had 100% map completion and a full set of exotics. Nothing left after that but WvW shenanigans.

Patch notes

A relatively big balance patch is supposed to be coming in a couple of days too.
Farming spots nerfed, player wealth dependent on RNG, low fps, more focus on gem store than player satisfaction.
So in short, nothing new really other than the balance patch on the 25th.

A relatively big balance patch is supposed to be coming in a couple of days too.
I think a lot of this was fueled by the addition of spectator mode and beta custom arenas.
sPvP has really taken off with tournaments, we are seeing everything from say an all elementalist team going against an all guardian team and everything you can imagine inbetween.
This next patch be the biggest balancing patch ever, it also opens custom arenas to everyone.
It’s true the observer mode is pretty kitten ed good. I do like that…and forgot all about it. I’m probably going to get a custom arena for my guild too.
