Guild Wars 2

I just read today’s patch note and it hurts my true SAB feelings!

Josh, you said a lot of times that new SAB only for people who are into that thing only and now you reduce difficulty because of moaners??? WHY?

Why it has to be easy now, after 4 days?

Things that makes me so sad:
Spin flowers have been changed so that they will only launch players to a pre-determined location.
Damaged inflicted by Rapid Water has been removed and the knockback distance has been greatly reduced.
Getting frozen by a Banana or sucked into an Orange Frog will no longer tick health away. It takes one less struggle to break free.
Geysers will always remain up and will never go back down.
Geysers were removed from Piranha Bend in World 2-1 and been replaced with more piranha for overall difficulty reduction.
Three dart traps have been removed from the Gong Temple in World 2-2. Two dart traps have been relocated to the opposite side of the wall they were originally located.
Three additional checkpoints have been added to World 2-2. One checkpoint has been moved.
Two Tribulation mode checkpoints have been added to World 2-1.
One additional checkpoint has been added to World 2-3.
The vertical rock tunnel in World 2-3 has been made easier to climb up.
Difficult jumps in World 2-2 have been simplified.
An additional platform has been added to the vertical falling logs in World 2-1. Piranhas have been reduced.

Please, at least promise us that you never simplify Tribulation mode! And I hope that this changes didn’t do it as well.

i dont see what your complaining about they didn’t touch the actual hard mode.
they changed it because it was just tribulation mode without the traps, instead of normal mode.

People have been complaining about Normal Mode. Tribulation Mode is safe. TM difficulty is as intended, Normal was not.

And wasn’t that thing about “new SAB only for people who are into that thing” meant for TM, not normal?

Pretty sure he only said Tribulation Mode was there for the people into that thing. In fact, its even lampshaded by the TM cloud which has the dialogue option of “yes, I’m into that kind of thing”.

Normal Mode was always supposed to be between Infant and TM, since its…. Normal. It was too close to TM difficulty, and this is coming from someone who played through Normal and TM as well – It was doable, and fun, but the difficulty was larger than it should have been for the normal mode.

Pay attention to whats going on with the design ideas and what was intended before complaining.

They added more check points. The changes made to the general zone transfer to TM making it easier too.

are you sure the added checkpoints are in TM? have u actually gone in and checked?

Fix bugs, not difficulty!

I suppose that most of this changes affect on TM, such as Spin flowers, Rapid Water, Getting frozen, Geysers, Piranhas, The vertical rock tunnel, Difficult jumps in World 2-2, Dart traps and An additional platform, which is really sad.

Have you read the patch notes?

Why nobody nerfed Liadri with 8 orbs? It was super challenging adventure too. But now you reduce difficulty in SAB, which is a way easier than “Light Up the Darkness”. Also, there’re a few ways to complete difficult SAB moments, but now people don’t need to even explore them…

You have reduced not only difficulty of SAB, but also a party fun inside with friends! It was a great time to see and laugh together how each other fell down and can’t accurately aim on spin flowers…

BUT NOW IT’S GONE!

because the 8 orb liadri wasn’t supposed to be hard mode, all the 8 orb did was make you stay in there until you hit her for 8 orbs, the only challenge she actually presented was her poor design.

and not to mention liadri wasn’t even part of the main thing, the queens jubilee was.

you just need to have some cake

I’m just glad I did it before the nerf, so I know how harder it was and the struggles I went through and overcame them.

It’s a bit sad that it’s THAT much easier now, but I also believe it will be good for long run, so more people can do it… Eh, bittersweet.
