Guild Wars 2

We all know very well that WvW doesn’t get the love it deserves from the devs.The paying customer base plays PVP/PvE and thus those gamemodes rank higher in the prioritylist of ANet. Understandably so.
But WHY does anyone think that the Potion of Ascalonian Mages is the single thing that needs to be patched to improve WvW. Like seriously. Does it really matter that much if you use it just for fun? If you use it in a GvG environment to temporarily look the same as anyone else?
I really do not understand the logic behind the decision to change it to a transformation.

HA! You said logic!

Aside from that, they have limited resources and an unclear direction they want the game mode to go in (short of more bunkering down under piles of siege). Expect less and you won’t be disappointed.

Psst..

The tonic was set up in a really weird way and wasn’t consistent with tonics anywhere else in the game. So we changed it to function the same way as all tonics. However, I’ll look into changing it so it works the same as the kodan/watchknight tonic.
