Guild Wars 2

what was that new build thing ? what change?

I vote we start a wild rumor so they have to address it and tell us what they did :P

they put the “lost shore” logo into the gw2 launcher (or whatever this thing is called)?

They broke the game for me, I keep getting errors when I try to log back in

They did it to stop me personally from completing the Balathazar event.

Oh ok, makes sense.

Thanks for clarifying.

They nerfed every ability that you like to use in PVP and buffed every ability that players use against you in PVP.

what was the update then?

Your favorite class got nerfed, warrior got buffed.

We can only hope it was to buff the innocent oceanic wild life that have been washing a shore from the evil 28 days later zombie risen people killing them, its not their fault they cant out run/swim them not many can!

This new build will bring in the Lost Shores; the islands that we’ll be fighting over, it’ll be detailing what we have to do and how to combat the troubles hitting the isle. It’s set to bring in the features of ‘guesting’, ‘guild halls’ and balances PvP perfectly by replacing every skill you have in PvP with a skill named ‘splash’, although what the skill will do is yet to be determined.

Candy corn nodes no longer randomly spawn…

They took out the phantom candy corn nodes.

Splash – Guardian – Become permanently invulnerable and still able to attack
Splash – Warrior – Unlocks ALL weapon types for use and doubles damage
Splash – Ranger – Reduces run speed by 50%, pet goes to attack a random Champion
Splash – Necro – Drain life from yourself
Splash – Theif – Instant self-death upon attacking an invulnerable target
Splash – Mesmer – Spawn 20 clones, become untargetable, win sPvP match if attacked by AoE
Splash – Ele – Unlimited mist form, speed increased by 300%
Splash – Engineer – If you are rendered on an enemy’s screen they become permanently knocked down

Edit: Aw man, candy corns, that’s it? I thought we were getting more updates leading up to Lost Shore

It’s likely that this build will contain all of the Lost Shores content but we’ll see nothing when we log back in, then when the time comes they’ll ‘flip the switch’ for the content and it’ll all be available. After all, three stages of events happen during the ‘Lost Shores’, and they won’t keep bringing down the game for patching for every one of them, they release the builds in advance so everyone has a long time to download it (especially this one which is over 2GB!) and then activate it when the time is right.

Mine was only 42 mb.

Wait, what? Is anyone else downloading about 2GB worth of a new build?

Raw candy corn nodes will no longer periodically appear in game.

When I saw a post about a new build, I opened up the game and it downloaded 10 files at about 42 mb. I have no idea where you are getting 2 gigs.

Haha..

“Melchior Caradoc used Splash. It didn’t do anything…”
“Monster used Kick To The Beanbag. It was super effective!”
“Melchior Caradoc has fainted.”

Prepare for UberQuaggan!

That is all.
