Mod Message: The forums bugged out and posted the original thread twice, but they both linked to the same thread (Urls were the same regardless of which you clicked).
So don’t delete this one, delete the other one.
I posted this in the fan-creation area, but figured since it involves us mesmers that I’d post it here too (threads seem dead over in the fan-creation forum).
So, it’s been a good run but here’s where I bail. I tried to lie to myself and say that the nerfs weren’t so bad, but I eventually couldn’t cope with the changes and decided it was best that I throw in the towel.
The beta of a song parody I was working on before I quit Guild Wars 2.
Original Song by Gotye.
Lyrics and (bad) vocals by me.
Based on the November 15th patch which ultimately made me leave GW2 before I could finish this song.
Lyrics
(The Mesmer is singing this part)
Now and then I think of when they were in power
Like when they could take on kitteny groups and not die
Told myself that they were right for me
I found great power in their company
But those were bugs and it’s an glitch I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of exploit
Like unfair combat abilities
And system bugs
So then we found that we had been nerfed down
Had all our bugs burried into the ground
But I’ll admit that I was glad that they had been fixed
But you didn’t have to change our phants
Give them line of sight issues
And reduce them to nothing
I don’t even need their burst
But you treat them like an addon
And it feels so rough
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have our core mechanics ruined
And nerfed our greatsword
I guess that I dont need that though
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
(This next part is sung by another class, planned to be a theif)
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
You had me believing it was always something that I’d done
But it was a exploit way
And it was just a Bug you say
You said that I should let it go
But the culling made me die to some Mesmer that you used to know!
(Other Class singing ends here, goes back to Mesmer)
But you didn’t have to change our phants
Give them line of sight issues
And reduce them to nothing
I don’t even need their burst
But you treat them like an addon
And it feels so rough
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have our core mechanics ruined
And nerfed our greatsword
I guess that I dont need that though
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
Some Mesmer!
Some Mesmer!
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
Some Mesmer!
I used to know.
Some Mesmer
Now you’re just some Mesmer that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
Some Mesmer…
