Guild Wars 2

the fact that we can’t get even monthly small balance changes. Why do we have to wait months for a tiny nerf to Warrior heal? Why can’t simple number adjustments like this be biweekly or monthly?

This game will never get balanced with these trimonthly mega patches that can completely destroy or send classes into godmode.

I miss GW1 streaming patches…things were amazing then…

Izzy C. on balance…the euphoria; Gaile Gray visiting pvp only forums and the vocal minority; the good old days

Or just fixing “game breaking” bugs like the spirit of nature healing, or empathic bond with dead pets? And why can’t we have hotfixes for pvp?
There is no “pax” like tourny any time soon so why the insane long wait?’

Do they have like 1 coder chained down in the basement that has to fix everything by himself for all areas in the game?
Or is it that the original devs have left/working on other projects and the current devs have to figure out how the game is written, or their tools simply sucks?

And why is there so BAD communication from the devs? Is it because they aren’t allowed to speak about anything with fearing of getting fired?

I agree 100%

“pax” like tourny any time soon so why the insane long wait?’

Because those guys from the latest GW2 interview are working on it.

And another thing, how can something like the empathic bond+Spirit of nature be allowed to be bugged for so long without a fix but something like confunding suggestions getting fixed so fast? When they are just as game changeing(especially the spirit being basicly an AOE healing signet+rez+condi cleanse)?

I actually suspect it’s something like this.

didn’t your read what grouch said? They didn’t put the EIGHT PERCENT healsig nerf in because that would be “extremely knee jerk”! lol

I have been saying this for a while now, I dont think the current ANet team actually made this game. If another team or someone else entirely I dont know, but the lack of understanding from the devs is explained when you consider they may not have even made this game (the core aspects of it, the current devs have to own the broken ele, the never really working engie or ranger, the op warrior that will take 3 months of play testing and coding to figure out how to reduce the healing signet).

Now I am no game builder, but I do have some coding experience and the only way such a big game could explain such a poor turnaround on the balance is if they have a smaller team working on it than you would expect from such a big title. Besides, all the “big changes coming soon” will just be small changes that wont make a difference or something to do with the trading post.

Also, how long have we been “waiting for big changes” to pvp? yep, since beta, and little has changed to address the core issues that were brought up long ago over and over again.
