Guild Wars 2

It’s likely that the Pact will remain more in spirit, as the three orders go back to doing their own thing, but still sort of collaborating against the dragons. Maybe this is Anet’s way of moving back toward Order-focused stuff, so the game will feel a bit more tailored to our decisions. Not that I minded the Pact, but it was kind of heading downhill for a long time.

Home instances are all but forgotten about. The Pale Tree is still passed out cold, for example.

I’ve been playing Pistol/Pistol thief since just after the karka event. It’s definitely in a better place than it was back then, and Ricochet has always been (quite literally) hit or miss. But it had interesting implementations, and taking it out does nothing except remove depth from the game. Being able to penetrate enemy hordes is an exceptional advantage, especially when two-foot tall menders can body block shots intended for three-meter husks (something that really ought to be fixed in and of itself). If the issue is regularity, then don’t make it a flat chance, tie it into crits or something that the players themselves can build for. Problem solved.

And don’t tell me that it reduces the ‘purity’ of pistol. Our shortbow gets ricochet as its autoattack.
