Guild Wars 2

Let’s compile all the things that seem to be missing from the “Leaks”, that seemed like it should have been addressed either rightfully or by dev hint. Try to stick with professions you are knowledgable. This isn’t a “So and so shouldn’t have gotten x” thread. I’ll start off and it’ll give an idea.
Leak Page: http://pastebin.com/2rrFg9ps

Necro:
No mention of Moa not killing all minions.
No Pet AOE survivability.
Shadow Fiend haunt, no mention of a faster activation.
No mentions of Healing in DS/ stomping+rezing
No mention for Leeching/Vamp buffs hinted.
No mention on Greater Marks being baked in or merged with Staff Mastery.
No mention on lowering Life Transfer CD.
No mention on Corrupt Boon poisoning self on miss/no target (Inconsistent with blood is power)
No mention of Jagged Horror and Horde minor traits.

(I only feel I should comment heavily on Necromancer, esp MM, as its my specialty) but fill in all the no-show expectation (not just farfetched wishes) notes that you were expecting but didn’t show (yet). I just want to get a general over view of what we’re looking at from everyones’ angel in one place.

These could be leaked, fake or what have you, or they could be leaked developer notes, as in not yet completed patch notes.

I noticed they did not show what traits for thieves were merged, but they did show the traits.

Even the released patch notes are often incomplete. I remember a couple patches ago half the ele nerfs were not listed.

With the exception of Moa, I don’t think hardly any of these things are on people’s radar’. Some are just subjective buffs you think Necros should get. :P

Thank you to the sane people. I see no real reason to accept these leaked notes as real in any way. I actually felt pretty bad for Anet as a whole to see that post. I would hate to have my work published before it’s due date, or have people speculate about my work and impersonate false notes and release them as credible. Either way I personally still see it has irresponsible..much the same as some people data mine games and release info well before it’s due date.

Yeah i noticed the lack necros vampirism buffs too. This might be incomplete because its leaked or it might be fake because its ‘leaked’. Seen enough leaked notes to know it can go either way. Fingers crossed on incomplete though.

I also REALLY didnt see the Spectral effects staying while in DS. I thought there was some technical limitation.

The leaks are not fake

However, they are not the definitive notes. They are not 100% accurate.

When nerfs are missing from patch notes, it is usually intentional. Speaking from 15 years of MMO experience on that one. lol

I don’t believe they’re fake but look like an early version, so people need to calm down, final notes will probably look kind of what was leaked minus/plus some things that may or may not include the stuff listed on this thread. Just wait and see and calm down. ALSO, the leaked notes are for balance changes only, they do not include bug fixes which is half of the things the OP lists.

Proof?
