Where was this ‘hype’? I didn’t see any mention of free gifts/sales from ArenaNet, but of course I don’t follow Twitter/Facebook. Is that where this ‘hype’ was?
Yup, it was all over twitter and reddit.
That’s the gift you’ve been hyping up all week?
From a PR standpoint it would have been better if you gave us nothing.
Some ANet employee must have thought “you know what would be hilarious…”.
This is the type of communication I would expect from a competent company.
ANet, start taking notes.
Disable auto-attacks, it’ll be annoying for a while, but it’ll save you so many headaches.
In the meantime, I wouldn’t hold my breath for ANet to do something about it… or speak at all.
Unnacceptable. Their silence has already made me stop playing. They do not care about their game, why should I?
You mean CChronomancer?
Nothing wrong with a 10 second AOE stun, really.
Continuum Split should never have been a thing.

Speaking of Taimi, how long is she expected to live? since she’s got that degenerative disease thing going on, though it is never specified which degenerative disease it actually is.
What difference does it make?
They’re not listening.
They’ve made that clear multiple times.
Seriously what the hell is the point, it’s all wishful thinking atm.
I keep hearing it’s just as expensive to craft as it is to buy, is that so?
So you’re saying that ANet is at fault? wasn’t that the general consensus already?
Who gives Sylvari their wyld hunt? The pale tree or Mordremoth?
Because Caithe’s wyld hunt was to protect the egg at all costs.
Eir… Rytlock calls her an “old woman”, her son is a grown man, and she has the face of a 20 year old girl. Norn age well, I guess?
Yep, she looks young but she’s too wise to be that young. Also in the Norn story line she says to the player character “You are a bright spirit, Slayer. You have the potential to accomplish great things, to be immortalized in song and in stone. In my youth, some said that of me, but I…fell short.”
But nowhere is it stated how old she actually IS.
You mean people aren’t allowed to express their dissatisfaction?
Sorry, but this is what happens when you outright ignore your community.
Yeah, keep ignoring your playerbase ANet, let’s see how that works out for you.
It’s unlikely Anet will ever comment on this issue in these forums. They’re hoping the furor simply goes away. Clearly Anet is catering to new hardcore raiders and future esport players who likely welcome the changes and don’t care about visuals.
You can clearly tell they have different devs now, the release team would NEVER let this happen.
Sigh
We’re not far I’ll tell you, we already have wings.
That’s exactly what I was thinking, who’s in charge of these changes? This is such a novice mistake, they must have very low hiring standards, laughable even.
I just laughed when I saw the patch note. OK Anet. You win. I’ll shop for another profession. Which one would you like me to use? Here I’ll bend over for you nice and low as well, might as well make everything easier for you.
Try DH, I have, you just have to spam traps and watch people melt.
Or Auramancer if you wanna play a real support and not this mediocrity called Druid.
Hah, good try.
People already tried getting ANet’s attention after the Lingering Light nerf, I don’t see them suddenly being competent now.
Rework Druid please….
- Druid: Astral Force is no longer gained when healing a target that is already at full health
There you go, two whole days. No more AF gain OOC from now on, they didn’t even revert the staff #1 change.
This is even worse than before, because you can’t even gain AF with TU at full health.
You’ve made some progress regarding visual clutter but I think the main problem is that animations need sharper edges and are too bland in color, which makes them harder to differenciate, NOT smaller size, too many cloudy, watery animations (fire/water breath, auras, necro stuff) and when they cluster together it’s very hard to tell them apart.
This was made worse with the new DH traps and Glint actives which even though are smaller in size, they’re almost TRANSPARENT, bad.
tl;dr: skills need stronger colors/higher contrast and defined, distinguishable lines, not smaller size.

Players: What the kitten is with all the visual clutter, i cant even see the enemy im fighting 90% of the time!
Devs: Ok we heard you, we’re going to nerf the visual clutter so its easier to see.
Players: WTF devs why did you nerf the visual clutter omgz u ruined the game why are the original devs gone the new ones suck kitten and they dont even respond to my threads omgz!!!
Devs: ………………………….
“players” aren’t a single entity you know, some agree with the change others don’t.
I don’t know why they wouldn’t make it optional like pretty much every other game does.
I mean, certainly it couldn’t be the same devs that created this beautiful game be the ones involved in these visual clutter nonsense, so little work went into this, they could’ve reworked fireball into something different instead of shrinking it into 1/10th of its original size.
Something changed, someone important must have left, the new content is incredibly dull and generic compared to the original game, druid is completely anti-thematic and feels like it was rushed, and don’t even get me started on dragon hunters. Dungeon and fractals, something that was once entertaining and fresh content, tossed into the garbage can, completely ignored in order to focus on raids, something only a small porcentage of the community will have access to and actually have fun doing.
Then there’s the complete silence from the devs, I don’t know what got into their heads, I don’t know if they feel superior than their community and think they’re too important to talk to us, but it’s insane that a company would neglect their playerbase so much, there are cries for attention in every single subforum, about very important issues, but somehow they really think ignoring them is going to be better in the long run.
It’s clearly a bug, waiting for a fix asap.
Let me guess, another “ranger main”?
They probably did it so that you can’t build AF outside of combat which is a glitch that works and helps prep your combat. I don’t see the problem in this.
In the same patch they added regen as an AF source? Yeah, that argument doesn’t make sense.
They’re not even traps anymore, we all know they’re there. But you gotta contest the point somehow, or you get pulled in either way.
Jesus christ, it’s too bad to be true. What the hell went through their minds.
The old animation was so smooth… It’s hard to describe, but it was very satisfying to watch.
My charr looks ridiculous now, lol.
(edited by Daharahj.1325)
Lol, this reminds me of the smokescale active skill change.
ANet really does know how to kitten off their playerbase.
It’s toooooo strong now, just take Natural Healing + We Heal As One! and you can build full AF in under 10 seconds……
Not sure what to say maybe nerf the amount of AF you get from Healing. I do like the idea of being able to build it differently now.
It’s not too strong, CA shouldn’t need to be charged up in the first place.
By far my most favorite skill animation, the thing that made me roll Ele in the first place, ruined…
“you’re so unintelligent”.
~The average GW2 player
I just logged in and tested it.
Oh my god… it was such a cool looking animation, why did they have to butcher it.
My Charr looks beyond ridiculous now lol
Fern Hound’s F2 does regen AF.
Lol, come on, water spirit? AF regen isn’t that bad.
People will keep leaving as long as they keep refusing to communicate, if you really are that dissappointed with the game or company behind it, there’s only two things you can do, put up with it or leave.
And they nerfed Tides to properly cancel after leaving CA, if you’re a Druid hater you should be grateful, this will hurt us more than whatever good comes from the regen change.
ANet, releasing unfinished patch notes since 2012.
I think they even got some skill names wrong, lol.
But you can build up AF ooc easily with regen now, this change does nothing but make it feel terrible to use in the heat of combat.
Considering you could pre-cast Solar Beam and select a target mid-animation, I don’t see why this change was considered at all, what is it supposed to fix? It feels so clunky.
Do they even know what they’re doing…
Well, I’d argue that the RT fix hurt us more than whatever good comes from this change.
You mean the boon? As in, I can use the Fern Hound to build up AF?
HAHAHAAH
I can’t believe they actually did that, i’m dying.
talk about having an unearned sense of superiority.
“just dodge the trap” “if you see a DH just avoid him”
has got to be the most kittened arguments i’ve seen.
I’m sure you prefer the argument:
I die a lot to DH. I haven’t thought of counter-play, so please nerf.
I play condi mesmer i don’t die to anything.
You do realize how kittened it is to say “if there’s a DH on a point go somewhere else” right?? They could literally release a new elite that 1 shots everyone in a pbaoe and you could say “just avoid him” lmao. Wait, DHs already do that.

CAN WE GET ANY SIGN OF LIFE FROM ARENANET?
HELLO?!?
We had Josh posting yday…
You mean this? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Pro-League-Open-Qualifiers/first#post5756694
How is this relevant to pvp balance at all?
They don’t post about balance.
Oh really, who would have thought.
