Guild Wars 2

Usually we get some preview about what is coming but this patch is showing absolutely nothing so far.

If i missed something please fill me in.

Thanks

You didn’t miss anything, we know nothing concrete about the patch, just random tid bits on the forums about reducing grind in pve, WvW overhauls of some kind, we have no real details and the patch is in less than one week.

‘’we updated the xyz skil tooltip to reflect the correct value of damage’’
‘’we reduced the coefficient of xyz by 0.0001’’
‘’we reduced the base damage of reaper chill trait by 2’’

I expect insignificant ‘patches’ like thees, don’t get your hopes up if they had some exciting and significant update they would probably be ecstatic to share it with the community for both feedback and to show us that they care.

Its extremely dangerous for the tho.
Last time they announced they wanted to make thief damage ‘extremely dangerous’ and the disappointement at the auto attack buff was even more severe.
Like Mike said. They are trying to make us happy with the content they deliver, not with what they promise to deliver.
Thats generally the right approach, but dem patch better be kitten good.
They should either share the entirety of all upcoming changes for us to give feedback, or give no hints at all. And they decided to take the second path.
I will just wait and see what they deliver. No reason to worry about it before you have anything to base your concerns on.

that’s not something that will work for the pvp scene lol. heroes of the storm just released a minor balance patch today with the patch notes a couple of days early with developer comments for every change, something that anet has never done before. for big updates they always release infos on what’s going to get changed / nerfed and quite often they are spot on with the changes.

arenanet should split pve and pvp already and let the pvp team balance the classes… if you invest that much money then a split is clearly necessary.

I think they are going to delay the patch.

Don’t expect any meaningful changes, and expect balance to somehow worsen because of it.

Count on ANet to do the wrong thing, whatever that is.
