Guild Wars 2

My Mind just had a brilliant idea.

Almost every one is complaining about the current state of class balance.

(Allie, print this page, run to Josh, run together to Sharp and get this done!)

Really simple.
Just take two guys, one who’s good at numbers, a community guy like josh or allie and two laptops.

Their task, balance numbers.

I imagine it like the following :
1.Community is complaining about a skill or trait , like a few thief skills or something.
2. Do research, ask top players, read forums. (takes maybe a day)
3. Change Numbers, let’s take a stupid example, pistol whip does 10%less dmg(if you think 10 is to much, do 5). (maybe takes one hour)
Or healing signet heals 8%less,
Or AR activate by 5% less HP so 20%.
4.Test it, shortly(maybe an hour). Update live server!

I’m talking about fixing numbers, simple easy task, constant little steps, a few skills/traits per week.
I’m not talking about redesign the whole skill or trait, just NUMBERS.

Second situation, if there is no more complain. (haha)
1. look at the skills and traits that nobody uses.
2. Do research, ask top players, read forums.
3. Again change numbers, this time increase them, so maybe someone starts using it.
Little steps! Don’t over buff things.
4. Test it and send it live.

Important notice, do this weekly! No need for a ready up show or a major announcement, short comment at the forums(maybe at a single thread, where you post all that stuff) , and at guildwiki is enough.

The big thing about this is that, the community would see that you do something.
Little steps will not hurt the overall game experience, it’s easy to pull off and it would actually help a lot to balance the game.

I hope it is, as easy as I think.

Allie, do it. Trust me it is a good idea.

Discuss!

Is it, an brilliant idea or a brilliant idea?

Is it, an brilliant idea or a brilliant idea?

The phrase is, unlike this thread, “a brilliant idea”.

If you had meant ‘live’ as in breathing, I would have agreed with you.
