Guild Wars 2

Hi! I’m Macnol, and I approve this message.

Thank you for letting us know!

May I suggest you add a link to this topic in the moderator post that closed the thread below? I bet that will avoid a lot of rage from people who feel disheartened by the original statements.

This change came as a huge surprise. I’ve been having loads of fun running dungeons lately, and the 2 main assets that made me useful to my team (grenades and super elixir) were reduced 30%/50% in power. WTH??

I love my Engineer, he’s my main and basically my idealized avatar in the game. But I can’t even look at him in this castrated form anymore. I’d love to see other kits fixed/buffed so I had useful alternatives to the boring grenade spam, but instead they just nerfed the one option that actually worked.

I’ll leave my poor engie hiding in shame in some corner and finish leveling one of the favored classes (warrior and guardian) to be able to enjoy the game again. Well, maybe after another handful of patches everyone will be playing warriors and guardians, then the game will be pretty well balanced!

Alright, reporting then: I just passed by a Mysterious Gift in Plains of Ashford (level 12 region) spawning level 31 skritt.

I’ll have to tip my hat to the ANet team on this one. I had my fair share of criticism for the Karka event (and still do, on some other parts of it) but it looks like you took those lessons and the community feedback to heart.

This just nails it – in-game events should be long and inclusive, allowing everyone a fair chance to participate on their own schedule. I’m very optimistic for this Wintersday.

I posted earlier saying I’d wait before despairing at the change.

I waited.

Now I’m officially despairing.

What the _ are you thinking??

Congrats on placating the clinical needs of the WoW babies for incremental gear upgrades. That should last all of a week. Then you’re back to hearing them whine again, with the only change being the fans of the original vision for the game now feel betrayed.

Haven’t you seen the downward spiral this is taking wow? Haven’t you heard of the dreaded “Item squish” they’ll eventually have to do since this has reached ridiculous levels? You were doing so well in breaking the molds of MMO design, why copy one of the WORST aspects of it?

Please, PLEASE give us a little more information on how this is going to work. I’ve been making a campaign to recruit new players among my friends (many of whom are disgusted ex-WoW players) and I don’t want to lie to them by saying this game is free of the stinking gear treadmill if you guys will all of sudden change your minds and introduce a new tier of armor.

I’ve got a horrible feeling about this, but I’ll hold back on saying more until we get some concrete information.
