Guild Wars 2

They were VERY fast to close all the threads about it

Of course they were.

where can I find these? anyone have a link?

The data mined patch notes, where it said people would get 400 gems for logging on Aug 28th wasn’t true.

go to reddit if you want to see the patch notes and a great comment thread about how shout warriors will become OP lmao

“Vigorous Shouts: Increased the base healing by 25%. Increased the healing stat scaling from 80% to 90%.”

I still think it probably won’t be worth 30 trait points.

400 gems for a one-time log-in would not happen. The rage would be high and the benefit to actual players low.

Anet is not that dumb.

I’m nearly 100% sure that the notes are close to what we’ll be seeing when the next balance patch goes live. And I won’t link the reddit/pastebin to try to prevent this thread from being locked/deleted like all the others.

the free gems thing was for the 1mil facebooks likes that they failed to get

Good to hear that retracting my like for GW2 on facebook had some effect. lol

of course it looked real, more ranger nerfs is always real.

i know i just find it funny people still run shout heal.

No, they tend to close all inflammatory BS threads fairly quickly, it doesn’t make them legitimate.

Not only were the “leaked notes” filled with misspellings, broken sentences and hard to believe nerfs/bugs… they also included many references to game states which are no longer valid.

Well, the patch notes also move Lung Capacity to Tier 1. This would allow x/Warhorn shout warriors to get Lung Capacity, Quick Breathing and Vigorous Shouts.

And the base heal increase of 25% is pretty significant, it goes up from 1,192 to 1,490.

No. Most of the threads were neither inflammatory nor filled with BS. They were a listing of the unconfirmed changes and players reactions/discussions over them. Nothing more.

I sent a polite email to forums@arena.net as the Code of Conduct advises me to if I have questions/concerns regarding forum moderation and I got a response from the CC in question that closed the threads as to the actual reason for the threads being closed. Said reason practically confirms the unconfirmed patch notes as being accurate.

So please don’t accuse the threads of being inflammatory without looking into it. Thanks.

Last time there were leaked patch notes they turned out to be spot on even with all the speculation about some people just trying to troll.

And in this case they will most likely be the real deal also because rangers get shafted again.

There as been a patch notes leak before and it was 100% spot on…

Just saying…

The 400 gems could be a belated 1 year birthday present, there were a lot of complaint threads about the 1 year presents being rubbish after all…

Just read the patchnotes on class balancing and they look real to me.

Just all AoE has been NERFED and of course Rangers, who of course ALWAYS get nerfed. Pretty sure Anet just NERF Rangers as a running joke now.

*sigh*

Rangers, if these unconfirmed patch notes are correct, are getting a net buff. Please read all of them. Just because one thing is getting a slight nerf doesn’t mean that everything else is bad as well.

Seriously. Maul damage and vuln increase. More spirit and pet health in PvE. Companion’s Defense alteration/buff. Healing Spring may possibly be getting a duration decrease but it will not lose any of it’s heal, regen, or condi clearing, nor will it stop being the longest lasting water field in the game.

So can we stop, as rangers, overreacting whenever we see the slightest possible nerf? Please?

Going by the comment left by a moderator, I reckon they were 90% true.

Based on the actual reason the threads were deleted (I have it in email), I’ll up my guess to 100%.

EDIT: Uh-oh. Threads are getting deleted again…

And based on the fact that the patch is about 3 weeks away my guess is that it is far from final and even if they are real they should be taken with a grain of salt.

All those are Ranger NERFS:-

106.
Nature’s Voice: This trait no longer carries the effects of Evasive Purity as well as the on-shout swiftness and regeneration.

108.
Companion’s Defense: Protection now occurs at the end of the ranger’s dodge-roll, instead of the beginning.

112.
Vigorous Renewal: This trait now grants vigor to the ranger and nearby allies when the healing spring skill is cast and not every pulse.

This is the AoE NERF:-

5. Aoe spells with that have a maximum number of targets will now count combatants that block or evade the attack towards that maximum

That will NERF staff Eles and effect Ranger barrage and every other weapon with AoE. Less tagging, less damage, less loot.

Bugfix. It was never supposed to have that functionality. You should know this.

Meglobob.8620:

Companion’s Defense: Protection now occurs at the end of the ranger’s dodge-roll, instead of the beginning.

Buff. Ranger used to have about .75 seconds of that protection ignored as they were evading during that time period. Rangers finally receive the full duration of the protection and the pet still receives the full duration as well.

Ok. This one is true. It is a nerf with no upsides. Probably a big enough one to make the trait useless … unless they increase how much vigor is applied when it does get applied.

This doesn’t just nerf rangers. This is to all AoE. Which only barely affects the ranger as we have few things that apply to that many players. So while it affects rangers slightly, it is not a ranger specific nerf.

Okay your correct on that one, its a buff then…but bugfixes or not everything else I posted is still a nerf.

Also, it will feel like Rangers have been NERFED because all the other classes seem to have been buffed…

Bugfixes aren’t nerfs. We all knew it wasn’t supposed to act that way. They’re just finally potentially fixing the very obvious bug.

Meglobob.8620:

Rangers would potentially be receiving several large buffs as well. Like the PvE specific one to pet and spirit health. So no. Sorry. I still see it as a net buff. And probably a pretty large one.

Didn’t they leave the last leaked note thread a few months ago alone?

Dunno. Maybe last time it was purposeful? This time it was most definitively not.
