Time to pony up Anet, with your sage like wisdom, explain to your customers what you are doing about this. No response just continues to foster these discussions. And you wonder why there are so many threads on the same subject…
Ok i had a night to sleep on it. My fellow mesmers Anet is not going to change their actions, they do not want to give off the vibe that they can be swayed with customer frustration. Since we clearly are not going back, and what i think could help change the conversation somewhat from speculation to understanding is for ANET to get in front of us and tell us why…. From my experience both in business and elsewhere, when people understand the why, it helps move the conversation forward and this is one conversation that needs to move forward. Not only does this help but it is a mature and responsible action. Community, if your with me, let ANET know we want to know why, I do not think it is to much to ask, but I most likely am wrong….
I noticed this thread blow up minutes after the patch went up. Beyond just reading the patch notes, did anyone actually PvE with it yet? I did. Did I notice the increased recharge? Yes. Did it seem to make a noticeable impact? No. (In terms of PvE only, which is what most people seem to be upset with from what I see). Not to me at least. I went about playing my phantasm build like any other night, and for the most part felt fine (IMO). I just find it funny how SO MANY people came here to cry before even trying it out. Give it a shot, play for a while, then come back with some constructive thoughts.
Talk about timing, I hit 80 today, early afternoon. I played my way through ORR making some good progress and gathering of loot from events. I can say it was a challenge beforehand in these AOE feast events, but I did ok pre-patch. After the patch hit, I wanted to try it out, well the results were as I expected them to be. I cannot compete with many other classes AOE’s now, so forget loot farming, I am relegated to the karma farming for being PART of the event…. Now when it comes to dungeons… to be tested, but I have no hope for it as my Chaos Storm provided a lot of support, now that support is still there only much more limited and while this class didn’t have a lot of special features from the others classes, the Aegis proc from storm was such a nice benefit, more so than the guardians as it occurred much more frequently, but i guess we were muscling in on that territory so they had to strike us down…. Sadly I guess this is the hint to re-roll… and i just got to 80….
Mystik.9561Oh did you not notice how drenched in sarcasm my statement was??
I did not, mainly because it’s the kind of thing I would expect someone out there to actually say. On that regard in this case I was mistaken.
It’s understandable. This whole nerf bat episode was a low hanging fruit thing for ANET I think. Instead of taking the time to actually work on the classes varying issues, they decided to pacify the pvp community. I guess because were not a high pop class they feel the changes benefit the greater good at the expense of a smaller population. I would love… hell i would pay money to have someone from ANET get into this discussion and actually explain this move, but we know how it is, they don’t have the backbone to do so. Well ANET the ball is in your court, stand in front of this community and defend your changes, explain to us, the customer, why this move was undertaken, how does it improve the class and the gameplay??? This demand reminds me of a quote from a great movie…. “you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one happens first”…. in this case, sadly the latter will be our reality.
Hey guys did you know we pwnd face in pvp so much so that we were the most played class that did the most damage and just melted face on everyone and thing we touched, that this nerf was warranted…..
Thank you anet for this well thought out change, hours and hours must have been spent crunching the numbers to get it right to where we would suck in both environments. I thank you for the dedication to your mission of reshaping mmo’s and making his such a unique experience…….
If they spent hours crunching numbers they should have found the various bugs that make these changes more of a nerf than they should be. Your sucking up is unwarranted and irrational.

I think they gave a reason why they haven’t split PvE and PvP, I don’t remember from where, but this is something needed desperately in game. GW1 was amazing because of this. Mesmers in PvE did not deserve this nerf on their phantasms.
It is as pvp issues are now affecting pve in a way that is detrimental to this class. I was out in Orr after the patch and forget it with all these events and my aoe at 28 secs now I can’t do enough damage to random trash mobs to get loot. If it were not for veterans I doubt I could get any event loot.
So if the nerf was for pvp has no one heard of conditional programming?? You go into pvp increase buff time, your in pve, set values on recharge to y. I guess something like this is to hard for anet to do.
I agree this would be a nice addition. Let’s make it happen.
With that impact, wonder what the duration of gameplay can be before system issues like memory timing etc start to show up?? I guess what would be best would be to have a OpenGL port of this game instead of the Cider wrapper…. Well this is progress none the less I guess.
Has anyone else noticed that this port, on the retina display MBP’s runs hot, like hot to the touch. I know you can OC the graphics card, but it appears you can only do this on windows through boot camp and not natively in OS X. Anyone have any suggestions on how to regulate the temp using this client?
I am using the newest Macbook Retina laptop and i have to say, even with setting the video settings to low, the client really gets my machine’s temperature up… This something I can correct on my side or is this something ANet has to correct coding wise?
