Guild Wars 2

Hi can any dev answer the question for me regarding the bloodlust buff. It used to be if your server holds three bloodlust, it provides 3 points per stomp. Now if I am reading the notes right, it seems to imply that it only provides 1 point per stomp now even if you hold all three bloodlust buff?

Is there any reason why there’s such change as I don’t remember anyone complain about the point benefit of bloodlust buff.

I’m not sure yet if I like or dislike this change

killing one player shouldn’t be equal to holding a camp for 10 minutes. just my opinion

I would like clarification on this as well, I feel as if I’m reading the notes wrong. I don’t remember many complaints on the points per stomp as much as the stats.

If we hold all 3 orbs we are still only able 1 point per stomp. The only difference is the stats?

Thanks

You’re also denying the other servers that 1 point per stomp, so it’s still worth it to get all three buffs.

When you’re fighting outnumbered the outmanned buff is supposed to help you not fear dying and keep trying. Giving the enemy points when you die goes against the point of outmanned, and actually discourages fighting outmanned.

As of right now in T1 NA the scores include over 50,000 points worth of just stomps alone and it’s only 1/2 way into the match.

It’s probably also a bit too abuse-able since bots can sit there stomping and rezzing each other for points.

I don’t agree with a lot of Anet’s ideas but I do agree with season 1 coming up that wild-card variables like this should be limited.

Given a time zone with equal coverage. The Bloodlust change to 1 point per stomp makes towers/keeps matter more to PPT than being able to outplay our opponents in the field. YaY!! we can all go back to hiding in our towers and keeps since that’s the majority game play scoring metric.

It also makes off hour PvD contribute more to the overall match score.

Thanks for making League even more predictable Anet. How about just give the top ranked servers 1,2,3 in each league their reward now and save everyone the 7 weeks of predictable non-competitive kitten .
