I've been thinking about this for a bit. The past expansion we had showed that fractals of alternate realities can coalesce into explorable pockets of a world where the timeline has been significantly altered. What if this is a subset of that? An expansion based around an AU where the Searing never happened, Adelbern never was pushed to use the Foefire, and all of the ramifications that result from that inversion of plot (like the Charr never marching on Orr under Titan direction?) Could be neat. You might actually be able to work that pretty well into the story, by having the dimensional pocket just affect AU ascalon and having the higher ups aware that there's something screwy in the timeline, but actively preventing the Ascalonian citizens from becoming aware of it via propaganda, etc.

I will note that: The turnaround for balancing problematic spec/weapon pairings is relatively quick, and has been for several patches. Proper cadence, you love to see it. The turnaround for balancing weapons has improved in targeting. Nuanced balancing for Path to Victory that only targets the tiers Spellbreakers can leverage was a nice touch, and Spellbreaker also was not adjusted due to staff enabling overperformance. The weapon -wasn't absolutely dumpstered-, scaling provisions support it for dedicated healing builds. Make no mistake, I still hate all of you ( ❤️ ), but I'm glad that the patches, up to this point, have their scopes adjusted *through gritted teeth* somewhat properly. Good work on that. Fix greatsword thanks~

Unfortunate. I'd gladly trade CC chaining for less dodge-able skills that I don't need to remove your ability to play to even think about landing, and a trait framework that relies on those skills landing. -
Do you like how your characters look?

I spend multiple hours gearing my charr characters. I'm happy with each and every set. it's part of a sidequest of mine since gearing charr cohesively has a bit of a difficulty curve. -
How to properly nerf thief for pvp and wvw
Azure The Heartless.3261 replied to Paradoxoglanis.1904's topic in Thief
kitten a mesmer I agree with? That's crazy. First time for everything. ❤️ I did before they reworked it twice into what it is now 💀 This is how you get me to stop spamming or being degen; by rewarding me for timing with things that let me stay in the fight or combo chain. Very good. Rewarding init on hit thresholds that arent outlandishly arbitrary (looking at you, unload), is a plus. Weapon would be picked up if this was the balance direction we had for low stealth thief. It has utility that works in 1v1 but the per target scaling makes it usable in skirmishes. remember they yoinked the reflect off of the auto chain because nobody was using it (because it required you to finish an auto chain in melee to use ofc). dust strike should retain the reflect projectiles quality, but only for the conical AOE it affects. blind duration halved is fine. -
When I'm roaming or skirmishing I simply don't move directly toward AOES or projectile walls where the enemy blob is pointing at me unless I'm booned, because I'm built different. The ground vomit is hard to tell apart, sure, but it will all kill you. I continue to find it hilarious that it became condi zerk's problem.

how come nobody is talking about rev
Azure The Heartless.3261 replied to Pttf.2467's topic in Player vs. Player
Instead of "Warrior staff is nerfed when you take spellbreaker" they did "Warrior staff now does half healing on everything except burst Tier 3, Burst does less damage, Block CD is up 5 seconds" Then nerfed berserker specifically for good measure. It's hilarious, go look. -

I recall being bewildered that "hammer" and "rev" were being used in the same sentence Hard to cry about a class without getting heckled if you don't know what's killing you. Warrior makes it painfully clear what is killing you, so it is also easy to cry about. @Sahne.6950 Yo, Sahne, they did the thing again~ Proxy nerfed power berserker because spellbreaker blockchains, yadda yadda. -

Someone couldn't react to half second telegraphed cc. Guess I know where the reaction time for the forums lies 💀 Yall better be happy CmC listens to you, that is not how it used to be. Turnaround from forum whine to balance patches is not often a 30 day affair. I'll be back once my ship-wheel clicks and I adapt~
