Guild Wars 2

Mike says they have a total of 210 devs working on the game

wut

At least 210, it’s funny how all the script kiddies on these forums think software development is easy. It’s magic, it just works! “I wrote a few hundred lines of code in college, including Hello World!”

I write more code in a normal work week than in 4 years of college. It takes hundreds of programmers and millions of lines of code to make GW2 work.

Dev is a nebulous term – it may refer to designers rather than programmers.

Ohoni.6057:

Out of curiosity and I know I may be breaching forum guildlines, can anyone name me a multiplayer game where tactics is a very small part of the game whereas individual skill and teamwork is paramount?

I’m not really sure what sort of distinction you’re trying to cut here, “tactics” are an integral part of teamwork, and most individual skill as well. Are you talking more twitch reflexes or something?

Well there is a distinction, you can have teams with good teamwork, good comms, individuals who have good twitch reflexes but use bad tactics and lose the game as a result.

I am not entirely sure if the above-mentioned scenario plays out in GW2 as I don’t play a lot of PVP but I am quite sure it happens in other multiplayer games.

Out of curiosity and I know I may be breaching forum guildlines, can anyone name me a multiplayer game where tactics is a very small part of the game whereas individual skill and teamwork is paramount?

Leeloo.4185:

is not really like you say.
with S1 system put you in a fair match, you can play better than what “system think” and that adjust what “system think” or worse.
the brick wall in S1 is 50% win rate. if you have that, that mmr is your skill.

[snip!]

You talk like Leeloo.

Someone failing really badly at imitating/mocking someone who doesn’t speak English as a first language. Its not even close. Google Translate probably does a better job.

Some ppl need to stop flogging the Esports horse in GW2. Btw they really should not have released HoT just b4 the deluge of AAA games .

In b4 this gets deleted.

Well it takes a minute to post 1 post at most, so …

Qugi.2653:

I do not ever have time to grind. I play for fun. When not fun I take break. No thing in this game is worth time grind when not have fun. No grind ever for me.

I want that Viper set though.

With so many new big releases of games now, do you guys have time to grind in GW2 and GW2: HoT?

El Psy Congroo.7965:

Maybe you don’t like it because you didn’t grew up playing that kind of games,
there’s a lot of people in here that really enjoy retro gaming, and SAB is a great way to get that nostalgia feel inside their favorite “modern” game.

If you don’t like it, fine, don’t play it. Is that simple, no need to make forum threads.

Asking for something not to be implemented just because you don’t want to play it is just being a child. Is like; “please don’t make Chronomancer because I don’t like playing Mesmer and I prefer that all of you people work on something that I do like.”

I grew up tolerating Mario – I preferred Megaman. If you want nostalgia in gaming, there are actual reboots/HD releases of the original franchises such as Super Mario Maker, Rare Collection, Transformers: Devastation, etc.. I would much rather play them if I have the time to spare since a lot of mega releases are coming out.

As far as I am concerned, as long as SAB stays contained within its own instance and it does not affect (ruin imo) the aesthetic of the general game I am fine.

Evon’s bold leadership and master negotiating skills would be a great service to Lion’s Arch.

English is a wonderful language; is it not? Even a DELIBERATELY mangled, grammatically incorrect and mis-spelt post is understandable and made coherent with a little effort by ppl with good comprehension skills. 100% perfect grammar is unnecessary.

As to why these ppl enjoy making these kind of posts, I assume they really hate ppl whose first language isn’t English and wish to mock the latter. And you know its a troll when this is their only post in the forums.

P.S As offended as I am on the behalf of all the non native English speakers in the world, I strongly urge the mods not to ban undercover.9657.

Trade u a new account for your old one.

I am always surprised why ppl dont bring perma regen banner albeit zerk warrior to lvl 50 grawl shaman or mai trin. I do this every time myself – just makes life so much easier. Gives ppl that margin for error even for experienced players / nubs like myself.

Hope Anet took notes from the (re)making of FF 14 Online Mk 2. And we still dont know when HoT will drop.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I don’t know, I haven’t played WoW either. But I know GW1 wasn’t like that, and DDO isn’t like that either.

For example, I am playing a Palemaster in DDO (a necromancer who can turn into undead forms), which means my character counts as an undead most of the time. So that means you play the game in a totally different way. I am only healed by negative energy, and light spells can instantly kill me if I’m not careful. I do however receive resistance to death spells.

Last night me and some friends ventured into a dungeon that featured a Beholder. Fighting beholders is always a tricky thing, because just like in classic D&D they dispel all magic in a cone in front of them, and they have eyes that shoot deadly spells in all directions. This means that you have to be really careful not to be targeted by the Beholder, and that it matters if you flank him (because each eye shoots different spells). So my Palemaster and her undead minion went up front, while the rest of the party tried to stay out of direct sight of the Beholder.

So that’s just one example of what combat can be like in an MMO that requires more than just mashing buttons. Positioning, buffing, flanking, height advantage, aggro control.

Actually we had height advantage and cheezed the hell of out of encounters lol – fun times. They got rightly shut down in due time of course because it really trivialized encounters.

Could have been handled a different way though, SE P3 involves killing a dredge machine. You can either take the no-risk but longer option of ranging it down from height or you could YOLO melee. After 3 years, I guess most players’ skills have progressed to the point of not dying like chumps despite not stacking and not having reflect skills. It helps when teammates switch to support util/elite skills instead of just DPS ones.

DarkSyze.8627:

There is couple of videos by Angry Joe calling Guild Wars 2 a “Spam game” and he also criticize the downstate, mobility, stealth and stacking in the game as being “horrible design”, “what was Arena net thinking of” and even say “how dull the combat system is” and “how there is practically no fun element in the game as long you stand in a circle and hit the same keys over and over” + other words i will not put here.. and made fun of it and laughed about it..

That is valid criticism. That’s exactly what the game is. I have noticed it too, which is why I stopped playing.

Angry Joe was very enthusiastic about GW2 when it came out, which I think we all were. But his enthusiasm waned, as did mine, as we figured that indeed the cake was hollow. It’s also important to realize that Angry Joe has to play a lot of different games, in order to review them. But he does put a lot of time and effort into the reviews. He doesn’t just skim over it, but really makes sure he plays it quite a bit.

SHM.7628:

^This exactly.

He was just nodding and uhumming disingenuously durring 90% of the interview.

I just think some tougher and more relevant questions could have been asked and answered.

You have to understand that the interview is mainly for Anet to get some exposure for HOT. So any critical questions Angry Joe manages to get in, are a bonus. As a games journalist, you have to walk a fine line between asking hard questions, and talking about what the developer wants to talk about. It is not an interrogation after all. The fact that Joe asked some difficult questions that no other reviewer dares to ask, earns him a lot of credit in my opinion. Its a shame that they weren’t willing to answer every question, but as an interviewer you can’t really force them to answer anyway if they are unwilling. It has to remain a friendly interview, because no company is waiting to do an interview with someone who is downright hostile to their game. I think Joe did a really good job, and his interview skills have clearly improved over the years.

I haven’t played WoW before but you are telling me combat in WoW isnt pressing the same buttons over and over for each individual player even if it is using the trinity system instead of DPSing and self heals?

People start stacking etc once they figured out this is the most optimum way of speedclearing dungeons to out DPS mobs and the optimum way is always going to be most boring way regardless of what it is, especially when it also involves minimizing risk to players. Then again not every dungeon allows you do this – if I am not mistaken Aetherblades dungeon boss does not allow you to stack, neither does some HoTW dungeon bosses. The problem is the ability of players to outDPS bosses rather than the combat system itself.

I actually find the combat system to be interesting, fast-paced and fluid (when it doesn’t lag – a technical issue), unlike NWO and ESO. In fact it is the one reason I prefer to play GW2 instead of the above-mentioned. I am glad you get to dodge and move around quickly and have not too many skills at the same time.

If you ever played in a Pug before with noob/nub players which I spent at least hundreds (if not thousands) of hours doing, the game becomes infinitely more challenging and variable because non min-max builds and professions would be chosen. Some might even call this fun yet frustrating. But of course there is no reward for doing so – another inherent problems imo with dungeons. No one would want to clear the most challenging path of any dungeon more than once or twice because the rewards do not scale and there is no incentive for doing so.

If I were the devs, I would get creative and make dailies for clearing xyz dungeon with 5 necros for example or introduce random modifiers into dungeons to make things more interesting like a fighting game. But of course nothing beats having more content/dungeons in the first place.

Hopefully there are dungeons in HoT and not just open world and story instances. And preferably >3.

Dont ever watch angry joe reviews, the man’s an idiot to say the least.

(Begins to reccommend IGN and Kotaku.)

Totalbiscuit. I also watch this guy called DarksydePhil on Youtube who does playthroughs and reviews.

Totalbiscuit covers a lot of (PC) games including indies but does not have the time to go in depth into most of them. DSP covers console games as well and does full playthroughs but only of major titles. If you are looking for unidiotic game reviewers on Youtube, I would suggest both of them.

Perhaps many gamers nowadays are of PewPewDie’s demographics however ….

1) Marketing.
2) Not developing sufficient content and areas to support 1.

Infrastructure is already there, despite a few hiccups such as skill lag to this day.

- In PvE, yes, it needs some group utility, and prolly some more AoE

Did you really just say Necro needs more AoE? I’m sorry, but I can’t take anything else you say seriously.

1 well and 1 DS ability are their main PvE aoes. Both long CDs. Everyting else is very minor or single target (which is also on the weak-side)

Haven’t played a lot of necro have you? Staff autoattack pierces by default and the staff marks are nothing to sneeze at. And there are 2 DS skills that AOE DPS and DS autoattack can be traited to pierce as well.

Suffice to say, necro isn’t lacking on the AoE DPS front, not to say necro is not lacking in other areas in terms of balance, such as single target DPS, reflections and general usefulness in dungeons compared to other classes. Even ranger isnt shunned as badly in dungeons thanks to rapid shot buff.

That being said, I really like GW2 action orientated combat and the dodging. Clicking on 20 (or even more) abilities seems to be a bit tedious.

I am kind of worried they will charge >$35 for the expansion. For what I can tell its not kitten expansion worth of content. I dont mind being proved wrong however.

Ludovicus.7980:

Well, I don’t think this is about you being professional or not. I think you’re very professional btw.

It’s about the agreement that you mentioned before. I have an entitlement to urinate. I have a physical need to do that eventually, but I cannot do that whenever and wherever I want to. I have to respect everyone else.

I think swearing and many other activities are the same. It’s not that you cannot do them. You just cannot do them here.

The use of the word gay is the same as urination?

Everyone else is really not everyone else but just the very small minority of people who wants to make a mountain out of a molehill and draw attention to themselves.

If Anet really wants to court a particular demographic as their enduring customer base, it is their prerogative. Just don’t be surprised if other people get turned off when it becomes too ridiculous.

loseridoit.2756:

Celtic Lady.3729:

I agree with you, OP, but unfortunately all MMOs have this. If people were more respectful, the chat would be cleaner. Talking about certain things and cussing is fine when you’re around friends and family that approve, but a public arena is where everyone should exercise more self-control out of respect for others. That’s how I personally approach chat.

Sometimes when I read these threads, I chuckle a bit

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/239318/More_carrot_less_stick_Jeffrey_Lin_on_tweaking_League_of_Legends_player_behavior.php

Yeah. So in our analysis of the whole player demographic, only 1 percent of players are the ones who are consistently homophobic, sexist, or racist. What’s interesting, though, is that they’re not responsible for a lot of the toxicity in the system.

So when you break down the ecosystem — how much toxicity is sourced from that 1 percent — it’s only about 5 percent. Actually, the majority of toxicity is the neutral or positive players.
…

If we can learn anything from the psychologist from league of legends, Most toxicity is started either normal people are having a bad day or accidently trip on offended culture without realizing it.

Nothing to learn but a bunch of sensitive offended ppl too lazy to use the block function. Death threats etc should be reported to the devs though.

Censorship – the principle that adults must live on pablum because baby can’t have steak.

Actually it’s more like “civility – the price we have to pay for functional society”. Yes, any restriction to personal freedom is a negative thing, but at the same time often the price of not restricting those things is even greater.

Tigaseye.2047:

The trick is to know when it is acceptable and when it isn’t.

Exactly. Unfortunately it seems that some people think that self-restrain is something that should happen to others, not to themselves. And think that internet anonymity should make them immune from repercussions for their behaviour.

The price of not restricting freedom of speech seems to be people discussing politics in a GW2 forum it would seem.

Seriously, I never thought I would ever live to see a day when Americans become more uptight than Europeans (British included), Russians or Chinese. Well at least on some niche gaming forums and apparently in some US states that vote a certain way.

I think I am going to take a break from these forums.

Olvendred.3027:

‘Gay’ to mean ‘homosexual’ is (far and away) the dominant meaning at the moment. It is, more importantly, how a lot of people identify. If you use ‘gay’ to mean ‘bad’, you are being homophobic, because you are equating the two. This is especially true given that that is the exact origin of the gay=bad definition.

It’s the same as using the word ‘Jewish’ to mean ‘greedy, tightfisted’ – as in, “Stop being so Jewish, lend me some money.” It is equally unacceptable.

Your intent in doing so, and your own personal views on LGBT people, are irrelevant. By using ‘gay’ to mean ‘bad,’ you are perpetuating casual homophobia. By defending the usage, knowing that it is offensive…. you reveal a lot about yourself.

Arguing that ‘homosexual’ was not the original meaning of ‘gay’ is also irrelevant, because neither ‘homosexual’ nor ‘cheerful, colorful’ have negative meanings, and there is no possibility of offense.

Smartcat.2130:

They word Gay has also been discussed here alot; where I grew up it was still a term that meant ‘happy’. Not Homosexual. But thank you to whoever is responsible for perverting such a nice and innocent word.

I am interested in how you’re going to justify that homosexuality is a “perversion” or in any way mutually exclusive from “nice and innocent.”

South Park should be banned in Israel. To my surprise, the game is actually banned in Israel. Dont know abt the series though.

Oh dear is the word gay going to be banned in USA made games?

Tigaseye.2047:

It’s offensive when it’s used in its latest meaning, which is basically “lame”.

As in: “Rangers are so gay.”, or whatever (not meaning that they are actually gay, but that they are a bad class).

I see. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most vile racist homophobic sexist epithet ever uttered by a cis-gendered hetrosexual Caucasian man, what would be its rating?

Smartcat.2130:

I’ve read through alot of these posts and some of you seem to have personalized the issue and seem very self righteous about it. So let me do the same.

My question is what gives you specifically the right to choose which words are offensive and which ones aren’t on a multicultural game?

Gw2 is very culturally diverse and many words have very different meanings for a great range of people. What might be offensive to you might actually have been completely harmless. GW2 has a block feature, a hide chat feature and a profanity filter for the more delicate souls that play the game.

Now I’m not condoning bullying or verbal abuse, for those there is a report button and I honestly haven’t seen it fail yet, though it can take a few days to kick in. They can only add so many words to the profanity filter, at which point it gets somewhat ridiculous.

An example of this:
Hooters in america means an adult bar (from what I understand). Where I am from it is a slang term for owls. Completely harmless. Yet this term I have often found to be blocked by profanity filters in many games.
There are many many names for genitalia which I had no idea about most of them about until coming to the internet only to find these words (when trying to use them in a complete mundane and harmless fashion) have been blocked as ‘profanity’.
They word Gay has also been discussed here alot; where I grew up it was still a term that meant ‘happy’. Not Homosexual. But thank you to whoever is responsible for perverting such a nice and innocent word. And now it has become slang for ‘uncool’ or ‘boring’ or ‘lame’ and all the homosexuals get up in arms about it. But heaven forbid that you remind such people about it actual meaning.

I’m sorry if this is a bit of a rant, but I am sick and tired of playing games where I have to change my language even though the words I do not use are cuss words or are not profanity, simply because some Americans decide that a word is offensive because it’s american slang, even when the context uses it’s ORIGINAL MEANING.

The profanity filter covers so much already, and can make harmless intellectual conversation difficult as it is. What more do you want them to do with it?
If someone is being a bully or being unnecessarily cruel or even if there is someone breaking TOS, there IS a report function and it does work. I suggest you use it. And if all that fails you are able to block the offensive person and never hear from them again.
The technology is there! Use it!

Block and dont read map chat if you find certain things triggering. Btw dare I ask if WoW is as “liberal” in applying censorship?

In first place I don’t think the term gay is offensive to homosexuals. I mean LGBTQI etc. Sorry I am not from a Western country, perhaps it is really offensive.

My question is did Kiel win because of the players votes or because it was the story that the writers wanted to tell/fractal that the designers wanted to build, with only the illusion of choice.

If you take various devs at their word, it was up to the players, including several dungeon builders who wanted to do the abandon fractal.

If you would rather believe conspiracies against folks’ word then I’m not sure why you’d want to play this game.

Its hardly a “conspiracy” when a gaming company decides to rig player votes to advance a plotline in their product. It is not illegal or immoral or even offensive to do so.

As to why I play this game, well it isnt for the Living Story season 1 thats for sure.

Nevertheless, I am not in a position to deny the vote wasn’t legit, but the closeness of the vote made me pretty suspicious and fall of abaddon fract v reactor fract? Come on.

Bran.7425:

You would be pretty naive to think otherwise. Its like asking if WWE is scripted.

Lorgus.6148:

As for your final link, it is true that the videogame received a higher age rating than it did in the states. So what? In Australia they BAN games with sexual content, such as the Witcher 2 and Saints Row 4, whereas here, a game was still available, but sold only to mature consumers. This is as much “discrimination” against gays as the Australians are “discriminating” against sexually active adults.

does Guild Wars 2 have gay relationships? Yes.
is significant amount of population that plays games underaged? Yes.
would it cost a lot to translate everything and keep support up in Russian while releasing for a limited amount of population as it is? Yes.

GTA V for minors. Nothing wrong there.

And let’s not forget the actual policy in Russia toward homosexuality… I mean we have a lesbian couple as main characters and we could consider the entire sylvari race as bisexual…

Politics irl have no place in GW2. Agreed mod?

I think he means that it might lead to the game getting banned, shunned, frowned upon and/or getting special age limits. It wouldn’t be the first time, if you look at the Sims 4, for an example, which got a 18+ rating due to possible homosexual content (even though you don’t see anything happening except the jumping in bed). (not saying that Russia is alone in this)

That’s precisely what i meant… It is technically against the law to be homosexual in Russia so one might assume that the game would be banned….

It is NOT against the law to be homosexual in Russia. The law that people refer to bans “homosexual propaganda” from being advertised in public places, such as posters or billboards. Another interesting fact is that nobody has as of yet been convicted of breaking this law.

Please educate yourself before making outrageous claims on subjects you know nothing about, lest you be seen as a brainwashed mouthpiece for whatever tabloid you read. Good day.

Not true at all quite a few racial skills have synergy with traits. For example sylvari Healing Seed with guardian Altruistic Healing, asura Radiation Field with ranger Poison master. Some are just fun such as stealthing in WvW as thief, transforming to avatar of melandru to cast an Entangle on unsuspecting victims.

Summon D-Series Golem is a nice tank summon with 2 projectile blocking bubbles, useful for classes without such abilities. Summon 7-Series Golem adds significantly to single target DPS for classes without DPS class elites.

Before charging skills and power transform stats were nerfed, Bear Form was as good as, if not better than FGS, due to stat increases.

In terms of racial skills, asura > human > sylvari > norn > charr.

Only class that does not have a projectile destroy/reflect skill on weapons, util or elite (unless u run asura).

Wait lvl 10 or lvl 20 personal story line?

Really? I did a new character after the big patch yesterday and got a key. Maybe it was implemented in the latest bugfixes as well.

Like it just reinstalls a second copy into the desktop folder. It takes up space. May as well uninstall/reinstall.

That is simply just reinstalling the game into a new GW2 folder. Doesnt help at all with DL issue.

Force killing the client restarts the downloads, then it stops again.

Tried changing the DL server, didnt work.

Esports yo. Who doesn’t like mobility in PvE and WvW? I hardly use thief in PvE, even much less reason to if the above mentioned involves nerf to Infiltrator’s arrow and would just stick to warrior instead.

And who says Guardian dont get “free” blinks, I use sword in PVP now and I dont have to hit a target to teleport 600 units closer.

Tyrannical.9348:

I’ve heard of him, read some of the books, and have enough respect to not beg the developers to beg for a memorial like the whole Leonard Nimoy case some weeks ago.

Threads like this don’t serve purpose here I’m afraid. Neither the time nor place.

Fair enough if it contravenes forum rules. Before this thread gets locked and deleted, imagine if Tolkien the grandfather of fantasy was born later and died today, I wonder would all MMO forums be filled with RIP threads or mods having to put in extra time modding threads.

Yes maybe if I am a social media user. I would imagine GW2 players have at least heard of Terry Prachett. Are any of the devs fans?

Maybe I will get around to actually reading his Discworld novels.

I like how MMR ties to the win loss rate which can be completely out of an individual player’s control ie teammates in deathmatch mentality playing GW2 PVP conquest.

They can be extremely skillful and can win majority of 1v1s (off-point) but dont understand capping nodes (in some matches the bonus objective) contributes more to the score and hence determines win/loss.

P.S I am not a PVP player. I am only grinding out wins for the Champion title. If people want to be casual about win/loss is fine by me, I am not a hardcore player. I only ask that the teammates that I am paired up with knows the mechanics of conquest. Don’t think MMR helps in that regard whatsover.

Bertrand.3057:

Eh, if both teams go for a 1-3-1 split, all your team needs to do is win the mid fight, and then as long as your teammates didn’t lose the side nodes they can get reinforcements very quickly to win those remaining nodes. At this point you have a 3-cap, and solo queue teams aren’t great at coordinating a proper push on home to get back into the game. After a few failed attempts at mid they give up and go AFK = 500 – 0. Your players were better, sure, but not necessarily by a whole lot.

But what is stopping a team comprised of non-noobs/nubs from 3v1 or 2v1 capping a side node after the initial start? And they didnt rage quit or AFK after the initial 3 cap from what I can tell, you would have to ask my teammates. I think they kept trying for mid.

As you can tell from my screenshot, I had to rez my teammate so I agree skill wise the disparity is not as great. But tactics wise (or experience wise) the gulf is demonstrated by the score.

NitroApe.9104:

Winning a game 500:0 on the worst snowballing map known to man is not an achievement. Push on all three points in the beginning of the game, manage to win every fight or sustain long enough for your mates to arrive and from there it’s really just holding caps until you are in lord range. Your enemies just sucked and went afk.
Still, gg.

You mean a team who ever played PVP couldn’t even cap one point and score a measly few points? I agree it is not an achievement to crush noobs or nubs.

As for Legacy being the worst snowballing map, I am not too sure about that – Spirit Watch seems pretty hard to come back from. In legacy you could always try to kill the enemy lord if ur team is decent enough to turn things around.

NitroApe.9104:

Unranked =/= SoloQ

Well yes but still. Not unranked and premade.

Nothing stopping the other players on the other team from joining ranked games.

Marcos.3690:

so you won a game? Congratulations

Yes indeed, thanks. My opponents were really bad to not even score a single point. I would have raged like hell at my teammates if I was on the opposing team. Guess what I am trying to imply about GW2’s PVP matchmaking system.

Pretty much my 1st 500 (+103) – 0 game outside of Courtyard 5v5. However I never gotten a 0-500 game (except Courtyard) either, even in 4v5.

Btw its solo Q as well.

Not sure if 2 ppl were really AFK, was too busy ROFL stomping.

P.S. Repost and names removed as per Anet’s policy.

micmartin.7465:

Will there be any adjustments for boon durations classes such as Guards and Eles!!! (My guess they will never answer this question and the answer is no…)

Well thanks for making Guardians useless and powerless in A LOT of the game well pretty much everywhere nowadays. WvW will be a joke, let the range battles beginning Guardians get your staff and medi builds cause melee has been retired from the game. Not surprisingly they have not released any information about stand your ground, based on Dolyak Signet, it will be 3 stacks for 24 seconds that is nothing especially if it can now be taken off. Not to mention if you were a class with a lot invested in boon duration then it is useless. They nerfed retaliation, then might and now stability while all other dps classes receive upgrades but wait I forgot Guards have Spirit Weapons LOL LOL LOL when did any of you see someone use them and for good reasons…

For the people complaining about 10 stacks well its for 8 SECONDS then you are free to spam fear, immo, freeze, cripple and all other stuns on the melee class that you are going to own. Oh by the way, the cooldown for the signet is 60 seconds so you got PLENTY of time to throw a few extra shots cause your cooldowns will be done sooner. Have fun…

….

Even Ranger with Knockback Shot with penetrate is going to remove a lot of stacks of stability. On the plus side lots more necros in WvW.

No one really complained about nerfs to retaliation and might; the former was unbalanced in many ppl’s opinions and the latter a minor nerf which doesnt really affect anyone except for ppl chasing records in speedruns.
