Guild Wars 2

My mistake in that case.
I figured it out once, didn’t write it down and only remembered the parts that mattered to me.
I do disagree on the importance of protection but this might depend too much on the scenario to actually claim.

I do agree on it being a buff though, that said still dislike the change.

You wouldn’t happen to have a full order?

Unlike what was said in the livestream today which boon gets corrupted is not (always) based upon what was last applied.
In fact many professions have different FIXED orders in what’s removed next.
In the given examples order doesn’t matter if the boon is present it will be prioritised over others.
some examples:
Thief steal prioritises stability and protection.
Necro corruption skills (Well of corruption, corrupt boon, dark path) start with retaliation and protection and perhaps the most well known fact: it ends with stability (the reason many necro’s don’t use corrupt boon if the’re more than 5 boons present).
Mesmer is random or might even be based upon what’s last applied.

(small mistakes might be present in the examples above)
Do notice as well as these all fit with the profession, thief is meant to be impactful while the necro is a bit less impactful (they have several corrupt skills), mesmer is random like many other parts of the profession.

Some players actually used these mechanics in there plays, like the corrupt boon example i gave earlier, but also with necromancer well bombs in WvW (to remove protection and damage at the same time).
This mechanic is now going to be random, which limits skillful play of the people who are aware of these mechanics. For WvW specifically it can be quite frustrating to randomly get your stability turned into a fear, mainly because it’s hard to counterplay a random effect.

The reason i’m writing this post is because as seen in the stream today (some) developers aren’t aware of this and thus i question the reason this change is made.

Edit:
This is only about boon corruption not necessarily boon/condition removal.

Gratz to FS GoT guild that need 20+ zerg to kill one mesmer… you are awesome guys.

Nice of you to say that, most people just go onto a public forum and cry there. Although i am pretty sure they didn’t NEED 20+ to kill you, they probably thought that it was nice of you to walk past there zerg and give them some loot.

Amazing tactics by FR tonight on FR border.
Placing a guild keg and getting all of GoT drunk so we quite literally couldn’t hit anything (seriously didn’t know that).

Phoenix.3416:

I heard that FS are giving up this week to drop their rank for the incoming league patches :/ Although my source was a random FS guy and the rankings on mos

UW usually loses to you guys so what’s going on? please tell me you’re not actually giving up to match manipulation?

I saw you guys on friday night so i know you can destroy our defenses when you’re organized so why are you losing now?

If you would actually look on MOS, you would have seen that both this and previous week we gained in rating. You would also see that UW has been above us in ranking for several weeks now (far before the league system was announced).
So please check your sources before posting here.

No you heard wrong.

OhaiTaco.6801:

It’s pretty bad when FSP need a bunch to kill me. U maek mi cri.

There might have been a rumor you loot would include a precursor or perhaps it is just not smart to run into a big enemy group.
Wasn’t there so of course can neither confirm nor deny these theories.

Anyway i sincerely doubt they actually needed those numbers to kill you :P

kribre.9683:

…snip…

Still waiting for the first FSP guild to do what FIRE and TUP normally do when 1 guild is fighting Only guild on FSP I saw did this was FSV.

That is too bad because we do actually do this and also remind each other about it.
But in our defense we don’t have many guilds to stand aside and PUG zergs go in anyway even if commander asks not to.

i cant understand blobing is part of WvW but Kale where at S bay ramming and GoT were at the sentry and Kale went out of there way to attack us even thoguh we had started to fight like 30-35 then kale jump in with about 24, to kill 11 people? dont know how it is on fsp, but if we see a guild fighting a blob or guild in open cb we will let them fight and just watch, its this thing called respect, if you want to blob go to EB

Just to be clear, one time you got “blobbed” by 2 guilds and without knowing a possible reason or giving them the benefit of the doubt (it is after all just 1 " incident" ) and you immediately post this on a public forum and start talking about respect..

My question (regardless of Kale & GoT did or didn’t show " respect" ) do you think what you are doing is a show of “respect” and helps in any way?

If i read your comment and didn’t know better it would seem like you got wiped didn’t like it couldn’t do anything about it in game and went to the forums to complain here where you tried to discredit the guilds involved (this all after one wipe). Of course I know this isn’t true, but your comments don’t show the respect you apparently expect from others.

I think “Dranul.2094” has the right mind set with his last comment and most FSP Guilds have a very similar one.

OchrisO.8450:

so 40+ people goin out of the way to chase 15 people? GG ^^ would of been happy to fight 1 guild then the other but no, just blob up seems the way

Right so every time people move with greater numbers to follow/chase a smaller group (and kill them) it’s not respectful and should say that on the forums to " shame" the group/guild that did this (i have some typing to do).
I am not saying you should accept bigger groups joining together just to kill you(so without gaining any other WvW advantage with it), but when this does happen once please don’t go directly to the forums and start saying of stuff like " show some respect", because you can’t possibly know whether we respect you or not and to assume this after one experience (which in this case is even just part of the game) is in my opinion disrespectful to the guild(s)/persons in question.

EDIT: Was a great/fun night though thanks for that everyone on RoS border.

OchrisO.8450:

Kale and GoT so some respect and dont blob 15 people with like 40+? thanks

Please don’t go talking about “respect” when people are just playing WvW, it wasn’t a GvG so yea you will get overrun time to time. It’s not like Kale & GoT joined up specifically to kill you with greater numbers.

Also i remember later in the night being overrun by far greater AG numbers sometimes including NP as well.

Groutesk.6082:

Anyone know who is leader of guild [GoT]?

This would be me.
As stated one of my characters is named Rhas the other Alwies.

Or Rodyc.1574

Greetings

Having the same exact issue, please let me know if switching to an alt works
