Guild Wars 2

Jerus.4350:

Started out as a discussion about the game.

Ended in a statistics lesson

soon someone will try to explain how probability works, just you wait for it..
internet math ftw!

I can only see this change as a good one, seriously would you rather have 100 meaningless choices or 10 that actually has an impact on your gameplay.

As long as they dont completely bork the whole thing, limiting the options on what trait combinations you can have will mean that each trait can have that much more impact on the build without breaking the whole thing.

I mean how much of build diversity is it to have a trait that makes you do X% more damage under a condition that you will be able to fulfill without doing anything?
they still exist in the new traits but they are way fewer in numbers.

hammer/mace/axe feels terribly misplaced for mesmer imo
for me it would just feel wrong

I would like to see chaos damage reintroduced and see balance go out the window
(for those who don’t remember, in gw1 most mesmer skills ignored armor completely)
maybe in form of an elite, for the next 5 second you ignore armor

http://metabattle.com/ has the standard builds i think

Still good in spvp, good old shatter is probably still the most played build, though lockdown builds can be quite good as well.

lets see…
first i want a dagger off hand.
after that, i think a dagger off-hand.
and then dagger off-hand.
did i mention dagger off-hand?

to bad we are getting a shield (although might be intresting) since even if we get one main and one off-hand the shield still steals that spot. but the question was what i want

Yes the chest drop rate is definitely to low, I would like to know what the actual % for the drop though.

Spent the first 3 days doing nothing but Vinewrath and every day since i have done about 5-10 daily after that, i will eat my shoes if the total number is under 50 runs. And still i need that last chest!

Funny thing is that if i would have gotten the chest i would have continued doing the boss since the rewards are decent and i like the fight, but atm i will NEVER set foot in Silverwastes after my achievement is done

Im not saying that we should be given stuff for free but considering its tied to an achievement that so far has been about alot of small parts that has been low on rng but time consuming, I dont see how they can put the last part behind this brick wall of RNG

For some reason the 4th boss chest doesn’t give a bonus amount of relics anymore.
Used to get 30 from Jade Maw at fractal 16-20 before the patch and now i’m only getting 8 same as the other fractals before it

is this intended or another bug?

I got the same amount of relics as in all the other chests, meaning no bonus amount at all from the last chest.

True things change, but you’d think that a more than 40% decreased income (without counting daily) in a currency would at least be mentioned somewhere in the patch notes. that was my main reason for posting in the first place.

If they had said that to balance the agony you get from the new infusions or whatever reason they lowered the relic gain I wouldn’t have any problem with it.

I prefer not having to wonder if the chest is another bug like: the daily fractal runner not completing, respawning not working in Thaumanova Reactor and a few other bugs that surfaced since the release

and atm i feel like its almost more profitable to only run the first shorter fractal after finishing the daily, which i cannot see as intended

not really, well kind of.. but i don’t see any reason for them to lower the amount of relics you get.

and sure i’m annoyed by it, but for those that haven’t got their fractal backpiece at all? it was already a timesink, now its going to be alot worse for ppl new to fractals

Is it just me or did they nerf the amount of fractals you get from completing Maw/last boss fractal?

I’m getting way less relics after the patch. I know they added some other stuff but still… its rather annoying since i still haven’t infused my backpiece yet
