Guild Wars 2

Any ETA???

Bags of Gear are the ones you want.

How is the Fireball visual nerf a buff? And please do not say something like ‘in pvp they cannot as easily tell where it comes from.’

It seems faster, but it might just look faster because of the size reduction.

I’ve ran a battery of tests, and the velocity is definitively changed. And it does not need to completely hit the target to register as a hit now.

It never needed to completely hit the target to register as a hit. And you are probably just looking at its tiny visuals instead of its actual hitbox.

As for speed, I noticed nothing with Bifrost.

Cliffside is the name of that fractal.

Agreed.

It is really not needed anyway.
By the time you finish the skin collections from earning LOTS of currencies from events, you’d be lv161 already.

Why would you assume everyone is completing these collections?

Because I haven’t really spend any currency on Chak/Auric weapon skins and Bladed armor set yet and I’m level 137 already…

You have the strangest way of measuring things…

This issue was not fixed. Why it is completely up to RNG as to whether you can get more favour or not?

Goldenrevolver.4371:

this was never supposed to be a balance patch

Yes it was. They specifically said that 2 weeks before a PvP league season starts, that they would release a balance patch. The league kicks off 1st of December.

Celtic Lady.3729:

It is now.

Give it a week or so.

They will always be there. It needs its own instance.

You need to move the entrance to the raid to its own instance. Having half the map afk waiting for a raid kills the map.

Riku.4821:

This was a release patch and bug fix, Balance changes will come soon most likely. They want to get everything else out I guess before major changes, if I recall they will do one once or twice a month now to stop spamming users with hotfixes?

They should do weekly patches.

That’s absurd. That’s not even enough time to determine if things need to be rebalanced

‘They should do weekly patches’ does NOT mean they patch issues that only come up in that week…

It is much harder now that half the zone consists of AFK raiders.

masterJP.5048:

What is the name of the legendary armor and can I preview it in the wardrobe ?

Forgive me if this is off topic, but two professions in your signature are misspelled, especially if those are THE classes you are playing.

Might be a different language.

Lumpy.8760:

i don’t think the projectile was the problem, it’s when bosses are engulfed with particle effects as a result of skills

This. Which means guardians.

Blude.6812:

E-sports over customers.

Seems that way. That could have made it so following someone in spectate mode used the nerfed visuals and sounds, and left us with the real sounds. The new fireball is absolutely pathetic…

Did you forget to include them in this patch, or are they coming later?

EDIT – It is 2 weeks before the PvP league kicks off. Anet said they would release a balance patch now.

Why is it not other people’s fireballs, etc? Why did you ruin our own visuals? And why is there not a slider for this?

That worked with Flame Burst? Mine would often fire at nothing.

It was nerfed?

This is the PvE mission upgrade, for people who did not know:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mission_Slot:_PvE

This upgrade RANDOMLY generates you an easy/medium/hard mission. So a small guild could get a hard mission that is impossible, while a massive guild gets an easy mission and falls behind in favour.

We need be able to select the difficulty, as RNG here is just ridiculous.

TONICS. GOD PLEASE TONICS!

Goldenrevolver.4371:

first of all why are so many people necroing topics…wtf. the patch is on tuesday. this is common knowledge so before necroing a 2 week old topic why not wait 1 day and read the patch notes before making a new fresh topic

also almost all profession runes are useless. with them getting changed to not be account anymore they now lost all reasons to still have any value. rune of the berserker being good is just a coincidence and maybe will get nerfed too. just let these profession rune posts everywhere be. they dont belong in the profession forums because every class can take them.

You for real? You post these things BEFORE a patch, so that they can be changed. Posting after a patch means you wait 6 months.

And no runes should be useless.

If the TEMPEST does not use the TEMPEST runes, then Anet screwed up.

This rune is in contention for worst in the game. How does this even make it live?

Sooooo…any update? And those promised sceptre buffs…?

Also can you make Superior Rune of the Tempest NOT vendor trash? Cheers.

Ayrilana.1396:

You could always farm the ore.

Or sell it and buy TWO precursors…

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

Come on now… if all the HoT maps were as big a farm as silverwastes and drytop we wouldn’t still be seeing so many lfgs for sw and dt. Those two are unparalleled when it comes to non stop xp karma and loot gain… might as well ask for EoTM to be included as well lol

If you are experience farming in these zones, you are doing it wrong.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

So ironic. I recall more than a few threads beforehand saying Dragonhunter sucked. Well at least PvP players stop screaming about druids. The nerf circle continues to go round and round. . . .

DH was considered a joke in BWE1-2-3 and was laughed at, people said Guard would never be in pvp or pve again, its the worst, will never see META

Fast forward a few weeks and “did you even test this in beta??” yes, yes we did.

Wait a few weeks before anything is decided. In BWE3 it was determined Reaper and Chrono would dominate the META, but, things change

DH received MASSIVE, untested buffs after BWE3.

So CC makes the breakbar regenerate faster after you have broken it?

You seriously do not get it? If one hall is worse than the other, then the other hall is better. Not sure why you are struggling with this…

I would presume that they were disabled as to not set one gh too far apart from the other. By that notion if they enable them in one, they should also add them to the other. Or, add some balancing something to the other.

Well disabling them has set them apart.

How?

By making Gilded Hollow better.

Precisely. Not that the devs responsible care – especially since they have already admitted to preferring GH over LP.

Nether of these answered the question. How was Guilded Hollow made better?

Personally I have both. I love the sky in LP as well as the hyenas or jackals. They really give it vastly different feel from GH.

Seriously? If both are originally a 10, and 5 is taken away from one of them, what do you have?

Nothing works correctly…

Have you tried Sceptre and Warhorn? Dragon’s Tooth and Wildfire?

Cooldown on Wildfire is probably too long.

Iohanna.4863:

Snowball.3497:

/F because flamewall gives the most burns —> most damage.
Evasive arcana is not for might, it’s for the flame burst skill to maintain 4 additional burns.

I see. Ring of Fire only applies once if the target is not moving, while Flamewall applies about 10 times to anything standing in the flames.

Would Flame Burst from Evasive Arcana really add more damage than Bountiful Power? I would think the ability makes up a rather minor portion of your overall damage.

Bountiful Power adds no condition damage.

Celtic Lady.3729:

I thought everyone was screaming before HoT launched that they weren’t going to even play this elite spec because it had such a stupid name, no synergy, and lame skills.

So, if that’s the case, how do so many people know that it’s OP?

The name is stupid. Karl massively buffed the rest after BWE3, just before release.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

So ironic. I recall more than a few threads beforehand saying Dragonhunter sucked. Well at least PvP players stop screaming about druids. The nerf circle continues to go round and round. . . .

That is not irony. And Dragonnhunters DID suck, but were hugely buffed after BWE3.

The name still sucks, though.

smekras.8203:

Some people here overreacting a bit? And yes, my guild also chose the Precipice, partly for the same reason. It’s inconvenient to activate the jump pads, but not the end of the world, or a real hindrance to gliding.

There is no reason they should have to be manually activated, and it is a MASSIVE hindrance to gliding. No idea what game you are playing…

I have found the Tempest is HORRIBLE for breaking bars.

Also asura’s Technobabble is OP for breaking them (asura still need to be purged).

I did not even realise they nerfed condition duration food…

Agreed. This is ridiculous.

It should be account bound, soulbound on equip. Anet need to change it.

Imbued Melodies actually boosts it. But yeah, it is bugged at 5 seconds, baseline.

Lava Font while downed is the key to using the melee Tempest skills…

You need the stability in the HoT zones, because Anet gave every mob and their mum a zillion knockbacks and stuns.

Hopefully Karl is working on them. Robert just patched his 3, so we can hope Karl will do the same shortly.
