Fwog.9387 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I swear this feels intentional. I refuse to believe anet messed it up so incredibly bad, gave it the go ahead to go to patch and didn't catch that its this incredibly garbage. I feel like there is actual malice in this patch. Meanwhile mechanist is playing with its new machine gun. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbujackson.9564 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) The ultimate joke is really they reverted them back how they were. BUT Next to NO skills on 1-5, your allies ALSO CANT PICK THEM UP. Should I run three times around now or what?

Carnifex.3275 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) All i wonder about is what were they smoking.. At this point i think they really humiliated themselves. To go live with such an update? I'd be embarrassed to even expose my company in that way and show how incompetent my employees truly are. And even if it will be fixed in a few weeks still it will be such an unforgettable moment that you can't really "damage control" it anymore. I bet they'll try to polish up those "design notes" and share a beautiful post of their future vision and explain why they did such changes...i can't wait for an explanation 🤦♂️ Edited June 28, 2022 by Dave.6819 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter.5631 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 problem is these decisions are unforgiveable from a company stand point. literally wasting company resources to achieve something that does not sell. and this is my first time saying this, even though I've been through years of balance patches. the only goal of these changes i can think of is to delete banner from the game. now you can only pick banner one by one, and nobody but you can pick up and now you get an empty skill bar for picking banner up, without mentioning how garbage the boons are. clearly, if they simply wanted to make something not mandatory, they would've not make all these changes, just change stats to boons and keep everything like before, requires less work, and would achieve better result. they simply made sure it is dead dead but with extra steps. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netheren.3261 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Yep hopped over to my engineer to see the rifle changes, it's insanely good. Perma fury alacrity 25 might and selfish quickness.

SamuelW.2685 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 How did they manage to make them worse then I thought they would be, the fact you need to PICK THEM UP TO MANUALLY REPOSITION THEM invalidates what l i t t l e hope boon warrior had Not like it had any hope to begin with, 4 seconds of swiftness every 60 seconds, what a joke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXruina.4956 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) it was all intentional they can say whatever they want, they're just incompetent, i have years of experiencing them to back it up, tbey have 0 credibility, and i'm not waiting another few years for them to get their kitten together.

Doomfrost.5728 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Clever, rather than just blanket nerf the skills, they instead did a functionality nerf. Disguising a nerf by making it look like a re-balance. I'm not surprised either they've pulled of similar tactics even before Guild Wars 2. It's just their way of saying that they don't want banners in the game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they will monitor and address this patch Mid-Fall. We got this kitten show for months to come, brother. Well they said "We’ve added a follow up balance update to our release schedule in the coming weeks to address critical issues. Then, in mid-fall, we’ll have our next major professions update. Somewhere in between we’ll share our profession balance philosophy." But yeah, knowing them i wouldn't really expect banners will fall into a category of "critical issues". Over 9 years i learned one thing - set your expectations very very low. So yup, i wouldnt really expect any major changes in following weeks. I guess i should feel mad or something. But all i can feel is just confusion and i feel so embarrassed for them, they've humiliated themselves so bad 🤣 On another note.. engi spams #1 while being afk - 25k dps. Zerker weaver plays piano with some sweat on their forehead and barely manages to reach 27k (yes, we tested it on golem..). New benchmarks are "fantastic". 🤣 Edit: ok apparently not 25k, more like 33-35k. 🤦♂️ Edited June 30, 2022 by Dave.6819 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
