Guild Wars 2

I think the Anet devs should talking to us about blood magic trait changes that will make blood Magic viable. Why are they so silent with us? There is an open discussion in the guardian channel regarding tome changes yet nothing regarding significant changes to one of our least used trait lines. Why is there no interaction? We even provided a plethora of feedback regarding the new trait lines and trait mergers with not so much as a nod to our work or suggestions.

Cannot agree that some minor communication. Here would go a long way.

Did you miss the 12 page thread where the pvp specialist asked for feedback?

That was a forum specialist and I was saying we have had no feedback or interaction with the devs regarding these changes. Maybe you equate forum specialist writing a repot to devs as direct interaction, but I don’t especially if said devs don’t directly address our comments/feedback. Sure, we can assume they got the report but that is sorta like assuming they read the forums and make changes accordingly.

Sorry but I think that we could use some interaction on these topics

The devs almost never directly interact, with anyone. You are more likely to hear a direct answer to prayer than get a forum conversation with a dev about balance.

The forum specialists interact with the devs. That is how you provide feedback. Expecting anything else is setting yourself up for disappointment.

There are no new traits confirmed. The traits in the next balance have already been announced, they are what you are familiar with..

Anet did announce reworked traits, but I would not get excited. Things like Transfusion don’t make sense with the new reaper shroud, so they are getting different mechanics.

That’s it.

The last time anet looked at blood magic, it changed 3+5=8 Into 5+3=8 and hyped up the change as if that was something meaningful.

Blood is not going to suddenly become a useful sustain/healing/DPS/or support line.
