Guild Wars 2

As much as I disagree with some of the necro changes where traits seem out of place….I want to say a big thank you to anet and the balance team. I am sure we all get passionate about our classes (me alot too ), but I want to say thank you to anet for the work they are continuing to put into the game.

For me the biggest issue is boredom with no major changes. That cannot be said for this patch. Much is changing. New stuff is fun to play with. If I have to play 100 more games of pvp with consume conditions, corrupt boon and spectral walk I think I will go crazy.

We need new stuff and fun stuff. I am sure some of the changes will be broken and I hope that you this time fix them quicker (celestial should of been nerfed 12 months ago).

But in general massive thanks to anet. I am excited for gw2 for the first time in about 2 years and its because of your hard work. We needed massive changes just to mix things up. And whatever those changes are is SECONDARY to me. I just like changes…any changes. New stuff…any new stuff.

So thanks anet, and keep up the good work. PvP should be fun and interesting for the first time in 2 years.

P.S. And sorry if I moan too much on the forums. I usually try to stay constructive but sometimes I get owned by a thief and have to QQ in an unconstructive way

I concur, it’s a great leap in the right direction. I just hope they will continue with steps.

Agree, a lot of love and new, fresh traits that make game interesting for some professions.

Quite sad that not everyone gets attention, but you have to pick priorities. Wish you luck with your game!

I think they know that they will have to make some corrections after such a big patch. But like I said. This game was stagnant to the extreme. A big overhaul of combat and traits AND new gamemode coming. This is what this game needed. The changes to our favourite classes are secondary to just any changes!

Or you know, you can try a different build/class for a change…

+1 thank the balance team!

Nothing is perfect (like I don’t understand why Slick Shoes even get a buff reducing cool down) but it’s a huge steps in the right direction.

Some of us here appreciate you hard work greatly. Sure there will be people complaining about OP stuffs when the patch land. Just keep tweaking it, balance patch every month, and this game will be the best!

Slick Shoes itself got no such buff, though.
Its toolbelt skill indeed got a reduction, but that’s just due of the last line bonuses removal (and since in the engineer’s case said bonus was a toolbelt cooldown reduction, they just shaved toolbelt cooldowns all across the board).
That’s no different from what they did with every profession (and if one wants the full reduction, he still will have to get the tools line).

No idea why this skill got buffed…But its a huge step in the right direction..because buffing something that doesn’t need buffing is Good ! lol

its going to be like the first week of release again, where everyone is playing fun weird, wacky builds trying to find something amazing
i look forward to it!

we need changes like these a lot more often!

Don’t be so hyped , the new meta builds will shine in less than 2 days .

Astounding changes with so many massive traits (Phantasmal Defender on blocking/evading xD) and I see you finally went for Mesmer Scepter clunkiness gj (be ready to nerf this weapon though – you over buffed it to compensate before).

Very exciting time with so many powerful options, the biggest shakeup in the game since launch and I applaud your efforts. Could be terrifying but it won’t be boring.

Sigh. It didn’t get buffed. F skills got a cooldown reduction since traitlines no longer have that benefit.

The balance patch is really fun. Amazing to get so much new content for free. We will all qq some about balance for sure, but this patch is exactly what the game needed. Also they made some really fun and flavorful changes to classes. The balance team did a great job imo

Loving this fast game now

Before this patch it was just all so slow! even zerk vs zerk was taking ages!
till someone dies because of cooldown/passive

Now its dodge or get nuked, so you have to time your burst skills and dont just jump in.

Bunkers still bunker good but they atleast need to dodge now, before they didnt even have to dodge.

That is a nerf. Before you could get 20% cdr for all gadgets. Now you get a situational 25% for only 1.

The changes are refreshing. I wouldn’t call it balance yet, but the previous game became quite boring and we had too many tournaments of the same thing.

Henry making a thank you thread???O_O
Is this the twilight zone?
