Echostorm.9143 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) It is my own stupid fault. I should have waited a few days to see reviews but after not playing much for about a year I was kinda pumped for the new necro and to play with my open world renegade and thief. If I'd known about the giant sustain nerf I'd have just stayed gone and sent the money to a Ukraine charity. I was excited to come back but now I'm just sad. To those popping in to say 'Git gud', I'll say it for you, "You're an amazing gamer and I'm garbage. You're better than me and I should stick with animal crossing." Now you can troll someone else.

Cronospere.8143 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The nerfs are only like 3 hours old, you can't have played it so much you already say you regret buying the expansion.. Play first and talk later. 12 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but judging by how sustain was nerfed across the board for most classes, it's kind of killing the excitement people had for this expansion, thus the thread the OP made. 12 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorem.8104 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Anet: Here's a beautiful new expansion, enjoy! Also Anet: oh btw you better play the new elite specs because we will nerf older specs and do a random GLOBAL nerf to all classes sustain, oh and those expensive Torment runes? hahahaha! Also Rev's, your class has been bugged for seven years and actually you are not meant to gain weapon swap effects!

Antycypator.9874 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have literally lost my interest of playing EoD or even whole Guild Wars 2 for now. Honestly, I don't know how it's gonna "attract" us to new specs, because nerfing core traits also affects all specs, including those from EoD. 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotride.2187 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) So I try to do the "kirin" HP in the first new area, whatever it is its nowhere to be seen. I hop to another map, same. And then I notice: weird rectangle when I mouse-over the EoD LFG tab. Then it struck me, its the tooltip that has no text 🙂 https://i.imgur.com/04w0BSN.png Honestly, your art team can only get you so far. Thats all I can say about what I'm playing right now. If my work was this half-baked I would be out of a job. Edited February 28, 2022 by Hotride.2187 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telgum.6071 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Rune of Tormenting abuser, am I right? Didn't really read the entire patch but what I saw feels "ok", some Necro nerfs, the tormenting runes or the epidemic. This thread is just your average moaning thread about every modification done by Anet, so I doubt they even care about these kind of threads anymore. 5 1 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, might actually be a point in playing other class now. Cant just play renegade or Scourge and faceroll while being immortal even against legendary enemies. Not sure about thief nerf though, they are kinda squishy and this will hit them ultra hard. I guess they can just go Spectre anyway.

Firebeard.1746 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It doesn't help that so many of the monsters feel like damage sponges, so glass cannoning through them doesn't feel quite as effective. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiviana.2650 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Well tbh nothing could touch the pof specs, so this must be their way of leveling the playing field. Im not happy about it but have to be honest they were heads above everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after four class betas this whole expansion had a giant wait and see reviews written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild.1705 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) My last class is about to start for the day; so, by the time it is over someone explain what these sustain nerfs were. I looked at patch notes and no big headers implied a big change and there were very few class changes mainly only changing 10 target skills to 5. What did I miss just skimming the patch?

They're either too gimmicky, use gameplay aestethics i don't like, or are just plain unsatisfying to play. We have 36 class variations, it's so much waste to be forcefully limited to just 9. 18 minutes ago, AryaWolf.1468 said: My open world build to casually explore is still fine because it was garbage enough, I guess everyone else get on rangers level XD There's a reason why at some point for OW and story i went back to my bearbow i had stashed away from sight for a long time. That build might be a meme, but it at least remains a known constant and i don;t have to worry about waking up some day to find it hit with a huge nerfbat, like it happened to my many other characters throughout the game history. No, i do not find having to redo and regear most of my characters every major balance patch fun. Quite the opposite, it just makes me want to forget about any kind of build optimization and go full dumb casual mode.
