Guild Wars 2

Since today i suddenly have a feeling im getting more damage in spvp then usual. I made sure i had my traits set, made sure all my runes etc. where in order. But still, where i manage to survive against a certain number of people yesterday.. today i have been having alot of trouble with it.
Anyone else has this feeling? as if something has changed?

Why are you asking? If no patch has been implemented nothing has changed except yourself. Get some sleep, take a walk, go out with friends, get yourself in balance again.

Not true, slight changes always occur and knowing arenanet, dont have to be in any patchnotes.
I yust tested some things and im quite certain actually that something has downed the survivability.

You’re probably just facing more glass cannon classes. You’re probably doing more damage cause your opponents are speccing for it. Just my 2 copper, I doubt Anet made any stealth buffs/nerfs.

You do realise its about elementalists.. not thiefs.
and its about them doing more dmg on me even though i have exactly the same things as i had 2 days ago.

sorry, I misunderstood your original post. Better theives?

Seriously speaking however, I don’t think Arenanet is going around stealth nerfing/buffing classes, specs, damage, etc. It would be foolish to do so, it’s a customer relations nightmare waiting to happen.

Yeah i would imagine so.,.. the thing is, i have screenshots of 3 days ago with my stats.. and atm i have exactly the same gear/amulet/runes and thus same stats.
But while testing on the hammer warrior target dummy in the Mists.. 3 days ago it hit 1.7-1.8 … that same spell used by the hammer warrior now hits 2.5k instead.
I am not sure what happened, if some bug at me yust fell very unlcuky after the server maintenance of the 18th.. or it has something to do with something i did after i became 80 2 days ago..
i have been testing but i cant really find out what caused it.
It might not be the case for other people perhaps, i dont know :S

either that or im going paranoid :P

Ok. i know noone will believe me.. but a relog actually fixed it.
Before relog the warrior npc still did 2.5k, after i shut down GW2 and logged in again 1.8k

i am not sure what happened, how it happened or why it happened.. but its gone now

back to owning people i guess :P

well they do have that system where the they can change the build with no downtime by having 2 servers mirroring eachother in the same world. read the reddit ama. facinating stuff.

If the other build changed nothing client side you may have been using a different build and would not know it.

it might be useful to check the build being used… when things like this happen.

“Ok, so this is kinda secret, but I’ll tell you anyway. I can tell you because it’s easy to say and really hard to do.
We have a system which lets us run the old build and the new build at the same time. So we don’t need to take the old build down when there’s a new one, we just also host the new build.
That’s it, it’s that simple in concept. But complicated to implement.”

Interesting, so in fact it could have been yust a small test allowing them to do small research on balancing bunkers or something.
As media and game designer i knew this system exsists but till now i havent seen it yet in such big games, only small projects. Nice to see arenanet using such a thing, not only will it be easier to make slight adjusting, easy up patching but also make the devs more in touch with the main version instead of an updated one only they have.
Hehe i assume that works better having everything in 3-fold… Or in my case usually.. So scrambled up i cant find the original file XD

Interesting thread and good posts too. Thanks Warmage for creating the thread

I can only hope that ArenaNet are doing testing to prepare for the holloween launch, no?
