Guild Wars 2

The fact that they’ve taken so many community suggestions makes me wonder. But the out-of-the-blue nerfs to some skills makes me think it’s authentic.

all the Mesmer changes aside from the Power Block and Time Warp one look stupid and kitten enough to be legit..

Looks fake to me!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Ah thanks, was hoping they weren’t real.

anet nerfing something that needs to be nerfed? fake ofc lol

Most of the updates there seemed like needed changes to counter the faceroll meta.

Nerf to celestial amulet and celestial builds in general? Nerf to sigil and rune procs? Nerf to turret engineers and Indumbiary Powder? Teef Steal actually working as intended? Can’t have that.

Of course it’s was fake, this part made me laugh:

Amplified Wrath: Burning damage bonus of this trait decreased from 33% to 20%.
Too high of burn damage is gimmicky. Condition Guardian will be compensated in other ways.

You could tell it was fake because some of the changes were ripped directly from the forums.

This.

Plus, “Immobilize: Getting immobilized while in the air will no longer cause you to be stuck in the air” this is not going to be fixed anytime soon.
It’s been so long this bug exists that removing it would be like removing an annoying old friend.

I knew it was fake when I read
Immobilize: Getting immobilized while in the air will no longer cause you to be stuck in the air.
:D

Let me bring the popcorn ….
when the times come again and silly ppl demant thing to buffed up , so we can see something ‘’new in the meta’’ :P

Dont worry for the next 2 more years , of the same follish mistakes !

It’s kinda sad, these notes were actually pretty gud aside necro nerfs being too harsh.

They should nerf might stacking even harder than this

This actually happens though, I don’t get why that would make u believe this is fake.

Tbh without a test server to get input from the community, the other method is to leak “fake” or accidentally" leak: patch notes on the forums page.

Considering this would move necros from 1 viable build to bad at everything in pvp while still leaving necros bottom tier in pve, I would hope they are fake. What really tells is the nerf to rabid and carrion, the person who made this hates condition builds and necros specifically.

Didn’t even bother going that far I’m doing the same right now lol.

In general, the changes are better than what we have today. They just need to work on reducing ele a bit more (lightening whip, remove a blast finisher, etc) and reducing the effectiveness of spamming nades as an engi.

The funny part though was that the changes would be released until after the world tournament season 3? What is that June? I doubt they would go 9 months inbetween balance updates.

Players: 6 months is too long for balance updates. If you want this to be an esport, balance it like other esports.

ANET: cool, we will wait 9 months instead.

I hope that isnt the case.

This one was really uncreative.

how so , i think it makes a lot of sense

I knew they were fake when I asked grouch about Time Warp and he said “Why does TW need a buff, its already strong”. Also I’m glad those Mesmer changes didn’t went through, the icd on halting strike would kill interrupt Mesmer completely.

If Grouch thinks engis need a buff then this “New and solid game plan for the year” (For balance) has me very worried lol.

Engineers need nerfed and buffed. There are a few things in the meta builds which are too strong, but if you take those away, engineer will be a little weak.

I know that happens, it happens a lot. And it’s annoying as hell. And I believe it’s an issue since like… the release. So I don’t expect it to be fixed any time soon. That’s why I believe it’s fake.
