Guild Wars 2

The first ‘feature build’ as we’re calling it, won’t go live until the current Living World story arc wraps up. The next feature build will contain substantial PvP updates, the balance items we talked about on Friday, and hopefully even more things that we aren’t ready to talk about yet.

The scope of the balance changes going in is massive. Honestly, putting all of the changes we talked about on Friday straight into the game today would have been extremely kneejerk, and I’m sure many of you would agree that some of the changes needed additional eyes on them before they hit live. We want the time to go through the feedback and make adjustments, and we’re already doing that.

I’m sorry if we gave you the impression that there would be a balance update today – that was not our intent.

Just a heads up for everybody.

They didn’t even do the bug fixes they were talking about though (nature spirit and EB). If this turns into another Aquaman patch (hugely talked up, I mean MASSIVELY talked up by Jon Peters, is actually completely underwhelming and pointless) I will laugh, and then cry.

I don’t like playing a game that is going to massively change soon.

They have no idea what they’re doing. I wouldn’t hold my breath for their “great Ranger changes” that they can’t talk about yet…

Why should they even bother with feedback on the Ranger changes (or any changes for that matter) they will do what they are going to do to Ranger and then the Ranger community will look at it, find the stealth nerfs, enjoy (for a couple of days) unintended buff(s), and generally adapt to what has happened.

I get the impression that it will be staggered. The first update after LS finishes will be the first of a number of patches, that will introduce all of the things mentioned in the Livestream.
