Guild Wars 2

I find this to be the funniest thing ever. Not sure what advantage it gave you in WvW? We actually rallied as a 25 man group of Plush Griffins once. We got owned hard (as expected) so not sure where they advantage lies on this one lol.

I think the problem was that people were having fun in WvW.

Why Anet? Why?

Meanwhile still possible to gain directly access to some enemy towers and keeps.

I Know the WvW team is busy……… Just curious if we could get a official answer on it is all. Like legitimately just want to know why it was removed. I Rarely use tonics in WvW or PvE. But something must have been OP about it lol

Careful you might get warned or banned lol.

This is (was) my favorite tonic in WvW, can’t imagine why they disabled it……

Bring back the adorable plushy!

Not surprised they did it. They’ve already done it to many things in the game since the “BETAAAAA” started. The only things really still allowed are kites from the gemstore (not normal kites cause those can’t be bought with gems)…..hypocritical much? Soon even medpacks will be disabled for transformed players. And soon tonics completely will be removed if things keep on this track.
I miss using banners while transformed…i miss when banners were useful tactics……i miss many things but best to look to the future and see how many more things you ‘can’ start to miss.

Take all the fun and individuality out of the game…and justify it by claiming: IT WAS TOO CONFUSING TO THE NEW PLAYERS AND ITS BETTER WE STREAMLINE THE EXPERIENCE.

They weren’t worthy components of the blob. Anet serves the blob. And the blob rights come first.

Are you part of a blob? Are you noticing that not everyone will join your blob? Anet has your back. This is how you make wvsw great again, never forget.

Most of us are tired and old as far as this mode goes.
The new blood….maybe the future belongs to them. Maybe anet is right and the whole experience should fall to new players rather than the old. It should all be streamlined into a drop in and out edge of the mists format.
Kinda sad when even anet wants you to retire your love and support.

OMFG! WTF Anet do this?!

The quaggon tonics will be next you know!
They filled in their lake, and now they’ll take away their tonics!

This is absolutely absurd!
Anet is supposed to make money from the gem store.
Yet there is NOTHING in the gem store for a WvW player, except for finishers!
And now you take away another toy!!!!

The reason they have to remove them, if they are exploitable in WvW, is because the devs never take WvW into consideration when it comes to programming!
This is again because they dont care about WvW and noone is working on it!
And if noone is working on it, then noone can tell the other devs if a new item will cause problems in WvW!

Apparently it may have been due to a dash skill on the tonic.

“Plush Griffon Tonics have been disabled in WvW” – WHYYYY??? THATS MY FAVOURITE TROLL/DONT KILL ME TONIC!
D:

is everyone really ignoring the super long aoe fear here.

Knock it off Anet. I want my tonics in wvw…I also want more npc’s running and screaming when their houses are burnt down, lots more.
Thank you

As far as i know, costume brawl skills do not affect people outside of costume brawl. Even when you check the skill description, the fear clearly states COSTUME BRAWL fear. So i highly doubt that was the reason for its removal and if it was, then they might as well take away all the tonics cuz omg costume brawl so terrible right? Also if the “dash” skill was the problem, why not just remove that skill? Disabling the entire tonic is just taking it to the extreme…..

Lots of people use exploit tonics, anet is just clueless on how it affects wvw.

There are obviously issues with tonics, all of them need to be disabled in wvw.

Mushroom charge and the Axe need to go.

Quaggans can stay, though. Love me some quaggan + Birthday Blaster fun.

We have kodan tonic now. It allow you to fight for Koda. I won’t mourn any other tonic.

Agreed, this has been an ongoing issue for years, just disable them all and be done with it.

Or you can stop people using tonics in combat, except Koran tonic, problem solved.

Its ok for some to exploit…just not any of the little people that paid for the game….

Axe and mushroom have long gone.

Don’t remove Dolyak Tinctures!!! What would we do without our Yak Parades??

Srsly, this is what convinced me to try WvW for the first time.

Odd, since I still see people using them.

they probably got removed because of the ele bug i wont go detail of it basically you gain the effect of +4 conjure effect at once with out having to hold the weapon.

How about disabling the troublesome effects instead of the entire thing?

In fact, how about anticipating these problems when you create the tonics in the first place? How about building in “effects disabled in WvW game mode” into the basic design of all tonics and making them function as simple illusions?

I really don’t understand why so much in GW2 has to be so difficult to adjust in a more subtle and timely manner. Is the game really coded or designed so differently from other MMOs that seem to manage it with greater flexibility?

Love how that video shows a DH cheating, like playing an OP build wasn’t enough he had to use macros to use that tonic that fast. I hope Hadi beat him so he can cry on his sleep for losing lol.
