I was so sure this was a thing. Did I just forget since I always had to click Disengage Photon Forge or was always impossible to leave the forge by pressing weapon swap? Either way it would be great to have, since now we can switch to kits from the forge but we still have to press the button when trying to get back to your weapon.

As expected the change is terrible in PvP as well. Even more Holosmiths will just use Hammer now.

The change is just bad. Especially since it affects PvP without any real compensation. I actually liked having a reason to use the auto attacks. Now the mechanic is basically useless.

Anyone thinks the Devs will actually think of all cases how you can exit the Forge? I hope they so, otherwise IT will be just more confusing.

Maybe they should change something else then in regards to PvP and WvW. To make up for the nerf it means for those two modes.

Exactly, which is something I do not undestand, since sword is not overperforming in WvW or PvP. It is only used by Holos and even then, a lot switched to Hammer.

Yes! As I recently opened a topic regarding this issue, this is really great. Tbh I never expected it to be fixed after all this time. However: Please make sure all other effects of pressing Deactivate Photon Forge are included (Mechanized Deployment, Kinetic Battery). Otherwise we will still have to click that button and nothing has changed.

A sword nerf (especially PvP), really? Why though? Wouldn't buffing the other Engineer weapons (except Hammer) make more sense? It is not huge one but I don't see where sword is overperforming currently.

Actually Hammer ist great in Holo in PvP. However I just discovered Sword Pistol in PvP. Sicne the latest buff to Pistol 5... give it a try!

Yes I realized that after posting. The same issue applies to 'Solar Lense' by the way.

This trait makes it absolutely akward to play a Holo Smith with kits. You can no longer switch from Photon Forge to any Kit without first clicking 'Deactivate Photon Forge'.
