not anymore you arent lol

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I can understand from a certain gameplay philosophy that if alacrity and quickness are introduced and affect gameplay significantly then logically introduce them into every profession. You CAN balance around that if thematically alac or quickness doesn't gel with that class. Alac on Scourge is like gasoline on pancakes. Sure you can do it....but why? The CA on druid has always confused me seeing as I can't find many celestial references to druids in the lore other then them connected with the planet and it's energy. I have no idea what space has to do with it. Having to spam CA skills again does seem to run counter to some concepts stated earlier. Giving alternate playstyles for druid is great. Feeling like you have to save up all your glyphs for the small CA window is not. I actually hope this is a stepping stone to where you can one day seperate the CA mode in the form of a trait that way you can stay in it permanently in combat (which would create its own advantages and limitations.)

Mirage-the chaos vortex nerf is a bit severe. Are you sure the confusion adjustment will compensate? Maybe those changes should just be for PVP or WVW? You are really backing mirage into a corner I think with the change to confusion and alacmirage. Bladeturn Requiem: You have a whole trait line dedicated to blocking so you will lose some synergy here. Virtuso should have less distortion and more blocking. It goes with the theme as well.

you actually get it in an email from them, check!

I understand that. Sometimes I get frustrated cause it seems they still falter at advertising and marketing and coming off very much like the meme "indy dev studio" suggests. The efforts over the years has been VERY piecemeal and "small fish." We can't get cutscenes? When we interact why can't the models actually touch and have some physics? I got a bit of hopium left for the expansion and thats all i have left in me.

Yes I got it too and am extremely disappointed. I would not have gotten it if I knew this. For that price point we deserve the sip emote and ability to put coffee out for others to stand around and sip ponderously. This is a waste.

-Gyala Delves up until the 3 platform boss should have been the only meta. The 3 bosses could have been improved then following the champ run the map goes into the peaceful mode for the collections and adventures. -The story should be the only place to contain the big purple Oni and then they COULD have turned that into a strike mission. -So which is canon? Us with our allies going up the tunnel or the zerg of fellow players?

i gave that h@g a fish lol

We took care of the minions NOT the big bad. The real demons are in and from the mists. Oni are apparently mortals who have severe demonic corruption so are not inherently demonic. This seemed to be a current exploration of oni assets and new relationships to jade and ley line energy.

If the Chul-moo box bug happens....i exited the map and logged off and came back and it was fine. Try it!

-Hi Bobby, don't have a twitter so I'm here. Short and sweet- much better story beats/moments even if this was planned and has nothing to do with feedback lol. -Was the plot of PTSD/stress hard to extrapolate on within the confines of a live game service? -Was I mistaken that in GW2 its not explained or theorized what Oni are and their relationship with Tyria? Some new players are confused by them. Thank you for your time!

Fair and then hopefully they can have their own shatters and since mirage is more condi focused I think all ambushes should be more condi rather than just strike dps.

The devs are balancing specs based on internal factors. They aren't balancing per the community created 2 alac 2 quickness 6 dps groups so it would not surprise me if they overhauled alac and quickness in the next huge balance which they did hint at on the roadmap.

I'm stabbed, ya know?

When you kill viper gear you also kill the ability for alacmirage to be flexable in power dmg preferred fights so it was more acceptable in like qadim or amalgamate but not anymore. Back to only condi with even less flexibility. I'm not turning all my gear into ritalist if were getting another overhaul in June, I'll just wait.

Yes, with the power of our minds lets make something nobody can see! Invisibility gameplay is just SO FUN!!! :D! /s

I always felt stealth on a mesmer is so wierd and out of theme and mass invisability has like 1 wvw zerg use and thats it. They should overhall that.

They could just make it a self-shatter with a slightly good effect.

oh stop it its not dead ..... ..........you just need FULL Ritualist gear and 100% boon uptime, a perfect rotation, meta build and all 3 clones out all the time.

All that ritualist gear to go from 2.5 sec of alac to 5 sec of alac. Much value! My chrono gives more alac.... So we go from doing good strike/ condi dmg, enough alac with a mild annoyance of relying on clones to only condi dmg on MANDATORY full ritualist gear and STILL relying on clones. Balanced yet?!?!?!

After Cam's departure, I'm so anxious for you all. I love transparency but I hope a motivation in that isn't inspired by any vitriol from some players. It will take you however long to fix everything and we should all be just fine because players SHOULD have a life outside of the game service. I'm sorry if some players aren't patient but after the roadmap, there seems like so much to be grateful for and I hope people remember that and keep it in perspective. Be well!

I hope mirage gets its own shatters like every other elite spec!

I'll at least be fair and say we might not need to get rid of any of our viper gear and just switch our food, a weapon sigil, and utility item for more concentration. My initial solution.

It's like they don't understand that when you jump from mob to mob to mob your clones delete so you're rarely doing more than 1 sec of alac on normal mobs in pve.

Ritualist is still inefficient because we aren't a tank, we don't need all that pointless extra vitality.
