Guild Wars 2

Akisame.9508:

Don’t get me wrong. I am happy that at least someone took the time to come over here and post something, but every time I read it, it just sounds similar to the hole ‘animation’ bug/stealth nerf.

I have played MANY games in my 36 years, and I’m sure many of you agree with me when I say that when your gaming for that long, you pick up on things and you see a pattern on how things are dealt with in the gaming market. And for them to say “we made ‘some’ ranger changes this patch, but had to go back on ‘them’ because of risk factor.” He is telling us that there was more then one change done by saying ‘some’ and ‘them’. However, they couldn’t push ANY of them live? They where ALL a ‘risk factor’? Or was there one change only that they had for us and they didn’t push it out because it was a risk factor? Or is this just a lie to keep us quite till the next patch where we might here, sorry, the changes have been more complicated then expected, it might make it in the following patch?

Call me paranoid, maybe I’m just going off of the only other post I’ve seen from Anet in the ranger forum which was a fat lie trying to cover up a nerf, but the only thanks I’m giving out is the thanks for taking the time to type something. I’ll thank the changes when, and if, they come…sorry

It may also mean the changes are not just cosmetic. If they plan for changing trait lines i can imagine they have ideas and are testing how they evolve. And no one wants to push not ready ideas into production stage. And because Jon was speaking about trait lines, it’s really possible the upcoming change is deeper than adding some damage to some skills. My opinion is that now it’s not necessary to bring random partial improvements. Small random improvements won’t change anything. Let’s be patient.

I haven’t seen it would grant the effect. I think the devs confused hit and attack. The description clearly says it grants the effect on attack. In the patch notes they state “on-hit effect”.
