Smoke Bomb skill: No longer deletes the bomb if the player jumps at the wrong time.

Discuss.

No fix to Scope = fail.

no love this month either guess Ill just go hide in a corner and wait till next patch

Just bug fixes for every class, thats what they said they were gonna do this month anyways. At least Adrenaline pump works with turrets now

I think the focus on bugfixes is great. Sure, there are things that just need to be changed, but I think it’s good to get them working first and then think about how to make them viable.

It’s fine, bug fixes is all ways good ^^ Glad they started fixing them, still a long list tho

what he said.

still, some major bugs not adressed, or at least not in the patch notes. how necro downed hp still isn’t fixed is beyond me.

reads patch notes from top to bottem WvW chests… rest is meh.

Last time there was a patch and people said this. A developer responded say its always worked and was never broken. IT just doesn’t show up on your stats and its only 10%, so its not very noticeable

Then some fellow engies showed him proof that it was not working, to which he replied whether it is working or not they will improve it in the future and proceeded to close the thread. Aka he didn’t know it wasn’t working.

Some of these bug fixes (Throw Mine, deleted bombs) made me go, “Well I never knew!”

Apparently they fixed the turret traits so that is good, I can finally start running my turret build again!

galandor.1059:

But they did that in the previous patch, I don’t get why its posted up again. Maybe they were waiting for this patch to finally release the fixes but we probably complained furiously enough to get it released earlier than expected :P

They threw it in to make the list look longer because they actually didn’t fix much for the
2 weeks they had

It gets better. The mines from Mine Field (Throw Mine’s toolbelt) no longer detonate when an enemy crosses them.

If you are running the Rifled Barrels trait, they instead trigger a 20 second cooldown (despite it being a 14 second cooldown with my 30 in Tools) that resets whenever any of them are crossed (whether it be by friend, foe, or yourself); thus turning what should be a 14 second cooldown into an endlessly-looping cooldown that prevents you from being able to detonate the mines manually.

It’s especially frustrating with as I’d find a groove with it in my Rifle build and know that it won’t be fixed until July at the earliest.

I’m all for bug fixes especially to traits, but I’m definitely with some of you on the whole focus thing.

Don’t they look at the list? There are bugs there that are from BWE2 that are still in the game like Scope that should have priority over anything else. Are they waiting until the anniversary or something?

Riffled turret barrels is still not increasing my turret range. Anyone else notice it’s still not fixed?

it’s a great day to be a bomb engi!

I would not be surprised of none of these bug fixes actually worked.
Where going to have to go through and test each one to make sure, seeing as at least 1 has already been proven still broken, and add busted mine to the list of bugs.

The bomb fix on glue bomb is awesome, it covers the entire point when I am defending lol

XelNigma.6315:

My thoughts exactly.

While I’m glad to get bugfixes and traits operating, it falls firmly under the category of: Should not be broken in the first place.

let’s hope the bug fixes keep coming

I’ve heard that the immobilise from glue bomb lasts longer since the patch (around 2-3sec). Can anyone confirm that ?

No major nerf utterly destroying or outright removing one of the few viable builds = good patchday for Engineers.

Some bugfixes are just a bonus.

Tobey.4836:

I just tested glue bomb. The immobilize is the same duration, but it now pulses once per second (three times), so it can effectively immobilize everyone around you for about three seconds. It’s actually a pretty huge stealth buff.

Some people have told me it’s a bug and it’s being fixed lol.

no gamebreaking nerfs? What?

Its actually 4 sec since the immob happens immediately at 0 pulse.
Tbh its as broken as it gets..4 sec immob AOE in a huge area that cant get normally cleansed cause it pulses with that low cd???Plus if you get the trait you can reach 25 vuln stacks on target just by using this bomb in a few sec..
Just saying..dont get too attached :P

Yah glue bomb is supposed to pulse cripples after its initial immobilize.

Hey, we might get a hot fix!
Or would that be a hot nerf?

Zenguy.6421:

Glue bomb will still be good, it just won’t be absolutely crazy on point.

Finally I don’t have to use Grenade kit to get 25 stacks of vulnerability I can just press Glow bomb.

If just runes of Lyssa would work with our only viable elite skill, i would be happy.

Concerning glue bomb, I posted this in another thread:

You know, when you read the tooltip it does not say it should NOT work like this.
Maybe we all got so used to the way it worked before, we accepted it’s weak effect.

But yes, I do expect a hotfix… unlike the mass ammount of bugs they could have hotfixed in our favour.

IF they hotfix it, it better come with a fix to mine field, riffled turret barrels, scope… etc!

the mesmer swap immobilize for 2s while the mesmer can kill everything and is immortal everyhing is fine.

our glow bomb immobilize for 3 sec and the sky falls down….

…did they break Rifled Turret Barrels again?

Anymras.5729:

…did they break Rifled Turret Barrels again?

they simply never fixed the range.

The damage increase of 15% was indeed fixed.
The extra range is still not there.

That’s probably more the AI than anything – they’re too busy trying to pump out new kitten every month and catch up to bugs introduced by it to actually fix the AI to recognize that it can suddenly fire further.

Did you guys watched last streams from AN, with this guy who was playing Warrrior? Now think, what they are doing on Engies.

Second thing is that next 2 patches will be buffing Warrios only. Next patches for Engies will be here in 2014.

Engineer and buff? Dont be ridiculous man:-P

A lot of times my sentries don’t explode when destroyed.

I am trowing rifle and flame turret at a zergs to cause some confusion. Any explosion was made :~

buff? what buff? next patch granade kit nerfed.

It’s like a box of chocolates, you Nev know what you’re gonna get.

I’m just happy there were no build crushing nerfs like every other patch lol

Give it until they put out the next patch – whether they’re fixing things or balancing, something’ll break in a hilariously stupid fashion.

Having a patch where they don’t destroy popular engineer features and builds, seems about the best we can hope for.

Would be nice if the 19 page remainder of the 20 page bug & QoL list that engineer released with became a priority.

Every set of patch notes I look for something talking about our hobosacks…
