Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else gone mad cause of this new blink mechanic? a mechanic who destroys itself, making teleport half usefull then before and, for the poor souls forced to still using blinks, a pain?
“Let’s blink on my enemy’s face!”….nope, there is a rock on the ground, stay there and die….hurray!
I don’t understand why Anet hates its game, and expecially pvp, so much, trying with every single patch to destroy it, and many times succeding in doin it.
Speaking about blinking, I’d like so much a rollback, without this nonsense update…

what do u guys think about?

but i thought you are a warrior

Sincerly, I much prefer my Blink to fail at times without consequences rather than having it go on full CD and porting me 2m further facing a wall instead of my retreat spot. Better yet, when you’re stunned and you fail your Blink, it triggers anyway. Great for reflex Blinks.

Have you tested this yet Aidan?

In my testing more blink spots work now than before…

I actually agree with Aiden on the rollback. Here are a few facts:

• Meta was in the best place it’s ever been before this patch
• Stability did not need any changes. No one ever complained about stability.
• There are now highly unnecessary sloppy bugs all throughout spvp

Kudos to a-net for the FoV “thank you”
But I don’t understand these combat mechanic changes at all
If anything, celestial meta needed attention, not blink or stability

Spam the button you’ve assigned for blink and you’ll eventually find a spot where you can teleport. It’s better than previously when you may have tried to teleport somewhere and don’t even move an inch.

The stabi mechanism was meant for WvW obviously, it has very little to do with PvP since you’re unlikely to get CC’d 5 times in a row in 6 seconds or whatever.

I like the changes. Before I was avoiding to use lightning flash, becasue I was failing to land it properly too often. Now it works fine for me, and – what is best – if I land it lame, it’s not going on cooldown, so I can try again.

A mesmer in my team epic failed his blink and died on foefire yesterday, i found that pretty hilarious.

But from my point of view I haven’t noticed any difference yet.

Pretty much quoting for truth.

‘full CD’
Getting punished twice over. One for it not working properly and two making you wait.

‘porting me 2m further facing a wall’
The frustration of knowing what you wanted to do, executing it and yet somehow the game said “Nope, but you can have this wall”.

‘Great for reflex Blinks’.
+1

I can handle restrictions, provided we get increased reliability.

port changes are awesome, BUT there is a bug with mesmer blink that makes it go full CD (only if traited though) instead of just not working.

That bug has been fixed recently and it seems to work correctly for me now.

Yep it was fixed today

wow, a quick fix for a Mesmer bug by Anet? Amazing…
