Guild Wars 2

Amazing no one in this forum has noticed this yet- or if they have they aren’t pointing it out to the devs.

Take a trip over to the wvw section and you’ll see what the issue is: warrior sword 1 now gives permanent immobilise when leg specialist is traited. That’s multiple targets completely locked down permanently. They removed the ICD…

Oh … but as some clever guy said in the forums earlier: We have way more access to condition-clears. That surely must fix it, right? … /sarcasm off

Replacing the Stun meta with the Immobilize meta. Here we go!

I can’t stop laughing my lungs are trying to escape through my mouth help

Well…ANET quickly fixed the Suicide Diving Mesmer glitch…let’s see how long it takes for this to get fixed.

They need to remove the cripple from the sword AA. I hope they just do it, and don’t instead make leg specialist worthless again. Nobody cares about some spammy melee range cripple.

Guys, it’s working as intended. You just need to get on anet level and learn to counter it.

Devs, have mercy, I beg you…

You guys really need to understand, they only had 4 months to get these extensive changes through, it’s understandable there will be some some issues.

I’m not here to defend it. I just want to point out that it is NOT permanent.
Very often yes, permanent not.

Just played a team tourny against a 5 man warrior team. All running perma-immob.

Pretty hilarious, it kitten s anything that relies heavily on movement to survive.

This is a real problem ANet, good luck.

its horrible in wvw. u cant even do anything. whats the point of making a class preventing every otherclass from moving or even being able to defend. and anet keeps deleting threads about it to cover it up or something. it is worse than the ac and leg specialist issue.

I want to see a wvw video of two groups of immob warr’s running into each other!!!!

well the one guy that arrives late to the party is gonna be wondering why everyone is just standing there

What an embarrassment. I’m normally optimistic, but this is inexcusable.

a lot of people are making dont statements like oh you can counter it by running condi cleanse or a guardian should not be locked down

or if your a warrior, you never feel immobilize because your freaking op already

Once any class blows their cleansing in order to stay mobile (mobility is victory) the warrior can keep cc’ing with this stupid auto attack. If they have frenzy they can immobilize you and do it faster. There are different situations where this is op.

Where it can be more than one warrior or an immobilize warrior + a stunlock warrior.

Jesus christ have mercy.

This will be fixed soon. I do encourage that you accept that we do actually read most every post here. Making us aware of bugs is a good thing you can continue to do so, but the forums don’t need threads trashing ANet employees and assuming we are not aware of issues that we are aware of.

Game bugs forums guys.

Remember that bugs can’t be fixed instantly and that hotfixes that come out have changes that all teams at our company need to get in as well.

if you guys where away of an issue why release a broken patch?
I think thats the concern for most player.

I hope you’ll fix thief S/P set on the way for the hotfix.

Completely broken right now.

It was a high priority issue that was not known prior to the patch. However it was something we were made aware of almost immediately after the release.

The daze change has impacted a few different skills/specs in our game (assuming you are talking about this change) that is not an example of a bug. Anyways, regarding that, the skills and balance team has already brought it up in some discussions today.

ok thanks for letting us know.
I have no issue if you guys admit this was something that was overlooked by accident. its better than assuming you guys did this intentional

Ah I can rest at peace now that you guys know. Was waiting for a response, maybe theres something of worth to you in the topic about it, perhaps not.
Thanks regardless.

As a fix, as many suggested, please go for “remove Cripple from Sword third AA” rather than putting ICD back to Leg Specialist.

The only reason i use leg specialist now is because they messed up my old build. If they move Empower Allies back to tear 1 i would happily stop using it. The thing is tear 1 has no other useful traits i like.

I, too, would rather cripple removed from the end of the sword 1 chain than having leg specialist go back on ICD. The third bleed stack would be a nice to have, or I dunno. A stack of torment’s probably too strong.

Glad to see some tpvp warriors on this forum.

@Tyler
Haven’t been on this morning to check for the fix, but I’d imagine you’ll be reverting the ICD. Removing the AA cripple instead is a common feeling among us, and something that could be looked at by the skills and balance team.

It’s one of those things that could work well with immob stacking, without being cheesy or OP. It would also be a buff for GS/Axe, GS/sword, sword/axe MH builds, which would be cool to see again.

Thanks

You can pretty much guarantee that on patch days we are constantly keeping a close eye on forums as well as online most the day in-game. This however is basically an all day every day occurrence. We do our best at finding issues that pop up from the release as fast as possible.

Reporting bugs that pop up on patch days are incredibly useful to us. To ensure we know about it you can always pm me or Josh, we can give you answers. This forum space isn’t really the place for debate about bug awareness however.

You guys should prioritize standing up a public test server to avoid more of these types of issues. I’m sure it’s not trivial to do but think of the benefits and the positive response you will get from the community. I think it’s worth bumping that up in priority – just my 2 cents tho.

PTR server reveal 80% bugs and “OP unbalanced” things during the first hours.
Why we dont make PTR server ?

It is something they want to do and are working on. Coding does take time, so have a little patience.

Sorry to be rude, but I’ve never read from an official voice that the devs or Anet is working on a public test realm, is this just your assuption or have u read this news somewhere?

AA immo is removed before you swing your next attack, perm immo? come on
have some brain.

@devs just bumping this so you read the suggestions about future balance ideas, as they were made when you guys were sleeping.

LMAO … … omfg … this seals it for me. I have more fun reading the forums than I do actually playing PvP in this game. I can only imagine what this kinda crap has looked like in game … gawd I hope there’s some footage of it out there. X’D

They don’t need a full “PTR Server”, and it might be too much work…

BUT for skill balance/testing (which is the most difficult thing to do), a “PTR Mists” (limited only to the mists, then) would be more than enough.
Fixing the balance of skills between classes and testing all the combinations is complex and takes a while, and having players stuck in the mists would help with the testing (while keeping all the PvE stuff secret for the big reveal every 2 weeks).

TL;DR: Please create a PTR limited to the mists. Surely, it can’t be that difficult given the size of the zone and given the fact that fights are already inter servers in the mists?
This would solve 63.42% of your issues with testing.

Because money.

So now that you’ve fixed the bug by reverting “leg specialist” to the 5sec ICD useless version which nobody liked since it was changed.
( Instead of removing sword MH auto-attack cripplespam that feels silly , which would’ve been cool)

Could you please also revert the changes on :
Desperate power : wich now works when health is under 25% instead of 50%
empowered : wich now only gives 1% bonus damage per boon instead 2.
Because by removing empower allies and nerfing those two traits inadvertently , you pretty much killed “tactics”.

My two cents from france.
