Guild Wars 2

Here are the changes of today’s patch:

Nothing.

Thank you ANet.

There is usually the unmentioned stuff. Can someone check:

-Berserker landing hits (might as well get that out if the way, it prob wasn’t)
-Bouncing attacks on clones.
-Clones aggroing

- Fixed a bug that let teleport skills teleport players through certain walls, most notably the clock tower’s walls in The Battle of Khylo.
- Fixed a bug that made line-of-sight checks frequently succeed when they shouldn’t.

These actually make me afraid, chances are good they broke something again while "fixing" it.

agree…….so in a way, i was relieved that they didn’t touch our class specific stuff at all this “non-balance patch”.

Hopefully a different story for the end of the month “balance/bug-fixing patch”……but i certainly won’t hold my breath that any of our major bugs will be addressed or fixed correctly.

Just tested: neither bouncing attacks nor clone targeting are fixed.

Double-clicking doesn’t initiate an attack if auto-attack is disabled, did this work pre-patch?

All the balance fixes are coming at end of month. Be patient.

We here that every patch. We aren’t even worried about balance anymore. We want them to fix the things they have broken for us…

I could care less for balance. I care that virtually every Mesmer wields either a Greatsword or a Staff and the bouncing bug they introduced causes both weapons to under perform.

Where did you read that?

Confirmed the bounce bug has not been addressed. I sure would like to peruse the new content Arenanet, except the bounce bug has made my condition mesmer INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING TO PLAY. How bout less bells and whistles and more fixing your core mechanics.

It was mentioned in the state of the game that a massive trait rebalancing update would be coming out later in the month of june.

That doesn’t mean they fix the other bugs, not to mention introduce new ones. I lost all trust in their work, especially after reading the Glassdoor review on ANet as an employer, specifically concerning their QA. It’s ridiculous.

Balancing update… doesn’t mean bug fixing. They probably gonna go “MASSIVE” trait rebalancing for… underwater.

Guys guys… I already changed my gamestyle and builds to have direct damage, such as iSword, iDuelist, iWarden and no bouncing mechanic weapons (sword, scepter, focus, pistol). Do it for your own sanity.

GG Anet.

Wtf? That’s not even a targetable object.

Wow, that’s surprising. I just lost a significant amount of faith in them – really makes me appreciate my company so much more. >_>

And for anyone else reading this thread and care about the bouncing mechanics, please voice your concern in the following thread! We need to make ourselves be heard louder!

I just began to read that.. it makes me really really sad. =(

I like to think you accidentally stumbled on a way to find invisible devs who are spying on the botting/hacking communities.

That is so freaking annoying, especially when playing in swamp areas with lots of critters…

Mirror blade really does suffer with this – poor GS.

At least the staff and trident have plenty of other utility, but the GS is in a sorry state at the moment.

I play Gs, and I always have. I have yet to see a significant drop in my performance in WvW. I’ve never struggled more or less, while everyone complains about these bugs non stop. Yes every once in awhile I’ll hit for a small amount, and when that happens instead of writing a journal about it, I press the button again, and hit for the regular amount. I still see plenty of Mesmers out there, and plenty of them using the Great sword.

I would love to have any bug we have get fixed, but It seems to me the most of you spend your time hitting targeting dummies and not other people. Then rushing here to talk about how much Anet is terrible, and ask for the mysterious “bad pic”. If this is a huge problem I am somehow unaffected. People are still dying as fast as they always have, and I somehow doubt my mediocre play had somehow improved so much that I’m overcoming this insurmountable obstacle. If I ever did notice this consistently, and I thought the class was broken, I would play something else. But I don’t and from what I see in WvW most Mesmers aren’t.

I’ve never understood the forums mentality. If your doing something as means of enjoyment and relaxation, and your miserable and hate everything about it, from the class you play to the developers that make the game, then why would you still play it? I always see Mesmers say " I love Mesmer, except this list of 1450 reasons I hate it" It makes no sense. Maybe it’s just me. I play to relax and have fun.

^That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Sure some people like to moan a lot, but that’s a minority.

The GS is still a decent, useable weapon, no question about that – but izerker underperforms, mirror blade boon stacking is affected by the bouncing issue, and mind stab while useable is not a great skill.

I already spent several hundred hours and quite a bit of money on this game and I still love it, but I hate ANet for their attitude and continuing failure. I’ll never get tired of complaining until the obvious and massive bugs are fixed, but considering the amount of bugs the last update alone had, their QA is obviously so messed up that I’m slowly giving up hope. I’ll wait for the patch that’s coming at the end of the month and decide what to do then. I want to play to relax and have fun, but they’re doing their best to prevent it. Let me put it like this: just because my favorite team keeps losing, it’ll still be my favorite team. But my critizism will become louder and harsher.

PS: the reason I’m still hoping for the best is that they also didn’t fix the obvious auto-attack on dodge bug, so I guess there’s something incoming by the end of the month.

Thank god they got rid of the checkerboard shatter. Still, Anet’s really got a few things to fix with Mesmer. Here’s my list:

- Clones should hold off hand weapons
- Scepter skills reworked
- 15% damage boost to confusion in WvW
- Useless traits reworked
- Zerker bugs fixed
- Pistol as a main hand weapon
