Sad day for mesmers.... again

[Arlee]

I feel like the devs are regretting putting in Mesmers... I mean I get the fact they could easily be OP... but it does feel a lot like they constantly kick Mesmers

[Fencers]

Mesmers are the iconic Guild Wars profession. Highly doubt Anet regret their most important & the marquee profession to the series. XD

I was saying the constantly nerf them. Which makes it seem like they are a pain to balance and in that light regret them. I wasn't making a statement about how iconic they are.

[Fencers]

Wait up now. If I am reading these notes correctly....

For PVE there is;
- Obstacle course/race type thing
- Scavenger hunt
- Drinking mini game

As for features:
- Achievement rewards

Wasn't there some kind of new dungeon coming with this thing? I could have sworn I heard/read about it somewhere.

Meh. Game/profession balance is transitory in any game with active live development. I.E. Better nerf Irelia.

[Arlee]

No I don't remember any new dungeon for this patch just Atherblade Retreat in the last one.

[barackopala]

No fencers, there wasn't any dungeon announcement for this patch.
And regarding irelia's nerfstate is quite basic, it was a flawed champ by having that true damage existing, her W is way too god on trades, maybe anet is notticing something in the metagame pvp matches? (haven't seen much of made in meta lately, they're the bosses of pvp practially)

[Scyth]

Damn..this is the first time when the class I've played hasn't got any changes. This is new!

[Svifnymr]

anyone elses map-chat filled with people comparing the absolutely free/bonus rewards from achievements to being "raped" because they're so "horrible"?

No...but that's probably only because I'm at work

doesn't surprise me in the least

mmo communities are both the best and worst parts of these types of games

[Deleted]

Is the patch up?

Well, they nerf mesmers and never fix thieves =(
I dont mind nerfing the mesmer glass cannon specs, so boring same old builds. Please buff mesmer confusions, or make it viable to go a bit more tanky with clone kiting. Some variety. Now they nerf whats viable and cant bother buffing anything else. Thats what they do, they just remove anything that's viable so they break the class themselves.

I dont know what they did with thieves this patch, but I will sing halleluja the day they cant stealth and one shot you anymore. Have this patch fixed it? Doubt it. Look at rogues in wow, they managed to balance a stealth class well. Watch and learn.

Well, I will dust off the game and try new battleground once before putting it back, is patch up?=)

[Valeron]

yes the patch is up

just briefly played, the new zone is pretty cool. you'll need some platforming skills (Fencers will love it).

It has mostly died off as now there are people to explain about how it's daily and stuff, but every now and then is a fresh batch of "wtf, why did I get a random chest" or "wtf, this is what they consider rewards? It makes me wish I'd never been born!"

[Meledelion]

I think it's rather silly to give someone with nothing but lvl 80s copper gathering tools...

I deleted them (even though I do have a fresh alt), but then apparently you can use them for quartz, so I dunno.

[Valeron]

well it's just for the first 1k achievement points, so I guess it makes sense to have copper (although I think Iron would make more sense).

It's the first achievement box. By default it's suppose to be horrible.

You should be hitting 500 points before your lvl 40 really.

Sure, my friend that is still at level 48 has more than that. My point is, even if they gave you nothing except 1g, it'd still be a bonus, so no reason to complain.

Though I really wish they let you vendor gathering tools/ salvage kits anyway.

Don't think I have that much more than like 900 points or something. 80s, of course.

Seems one would have to be rather interested in mini games to get a lot of those points.
