Guild Wars 2

(Please don’t take this as a bragging thread, even if it kinda is)

If these leaked patch notes are true then that means there’s a strong chance ANet got some of their ideas from these forums because some of the changes are very similar to what we’ve discussed in the past.

For example I’ve had 2 threads discussing changing Berserker Stance to combat conditions:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Adding-Utility-to-Under-Used-Skills-PvP/first#post2092940

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Making-Berserker-Stance-Worthwhile/first#post2123035

What the patch notes say is different from what I suggested, although I like the proposed change better than mine except for the 60 second cooldown which I feel is far too long.

In that first thread I also suggest making Stomp a stun breaker.

This thread didn’t have much discussion but in it I suggest a trait that cleansed conditions based on how much adrenaline you use:

Cleansing Ire sounds like a even more powerful trait considering is absorbs embrace the pain and may not even have a cooldown.

In another thread (couldn’t find it) I suggested making Dolyak signet a stun breaker as well.

Daecollo.9578 also deserves a lot of credit as well because he also offered up some suggestions that show up as well.

What I find suspicious is how many of all the patch notes use forum suggestions, almost makes it seems like a wish list more than actual patch notes. The only thing that gives it any credibility is the inclusion of Torment, which we know is real considering a dev has commented on it. I just find it strange that Anet would listen to so many player suggestions and would make soooo many changes in one patch.

Yes they did, at least if the patchnotes are true.

They even said on a prodcast that they take notes of suggestions made by players on forums and talk them over during their meetings.. : P

But i have mixed feelings about the changes, ill only know for sure once they are live and i get to test 0.o Im sad ill have to drop leg specialist though

Patch notes are obviously fake. I can’t think of any MMO that I’ve ever played that basically adjusted every single ability in the game in one patch.

You’re blowing how many changes that are on there out of proportion, considering most changes are things like aftercast and while they may have a big impact won’t totally change the game.

It doesn’t matter if they are miniscule irrelevant changes. There is still such a massive number that it’s almost a complete reworking of the entire game. In one, non-hyped patch. Yea right.

I believe the notes are real, but not every change listed will be implemented.

Maybe we should stop complaining untill the Actual notes are up and the patch goes live…

If the patch notes were “leaked” intentionally, then it is for the purpose of soliciting feedback before the patch goes live. So, “complaining” and “praising” are part of the feedback ArenaNet will need before these changes are implemented.

So “stopping complaining” is tantamount to not giving feedback (which would defeat the entire purpose of the “leak”). The Devs need to know what we think of the changes, good and bad, so this game can be the best that it can be.

I was initially skeptical about the authenticity of the notes, but the fact that it got the name of the new Torment condition correct that makes it seem pretty legit. So yes, the feedback is very important because if we give a ton of negative responses they have time to adjust. It also means that forum users can help change the game with ideas which is cool.

Giving feedback on Real patchnotes…not on patchnotes that could have been written by anyone..Hence wait for the Official patchnotes,so you can give Proper “Feedback”……

What else are we supposed to do before the patch…..?
