This is what happens when you guys called for nerfs to players. Please continue to call for nerfs to every skills and professions, very soon we will need a 10 man squad to kill the sentry guards...

Oh, another one of those topics created by condi mains (most likely necros) calling for further nerfs to cleanse and heals. Well, less than two years back you guys did it once and ANet agreed that 2% of the player base in the forum represented the other 98% as well and over a few balance patches, handled some very devastating nerfs to anti toxin runes, Scrapper traits and even dropped their vitality by 3k. And nothing has changed over the years with ANet still having that 'all calls for nerfs are most welcomed and will be done ' attitude, you guys will succeed again. Congrats! notes to self : Avoid WvW section, there is nothing constructive here but endless calls for nerfs

I dont see why it has to be gated to daily login here or map completion. > On the other hand, in truth FF XIV's glamour wardrobe system is vastly inferior to GW2's one. And by saying "vastly" i mean exactly that - FF XIV's system, compared to what we have here, is _very_ primitive and limited. I'd love to have in FF XIV something that would be even half as good as the wardrobe here. > But we are taking about removing the cost of transmutation, not the variety or number of transmutable items available. Anyway, right from launch when fashion war is still far from being a thing, those transmutation charges were already there.

Actually I think it all depends on what profession most of the developers are playing. Years ago, many played Thief so at that time,Thief was OP and untouchable by nerfs for years. Then they switched their mains to Necro and Scourge was King and untouchable for years in WvW. Hmm, I wonder what most of them mained these days...

Hey, I was about to start similar topic on this. EoD is supposed to be released this year? And till now all we get is a couple of CGI videos and images. That's it. There is a very obvious lack of enthusiasm from ANet about EoD. No further announcements, no communications. Meanwhile, LWS has been watered down to boring DRMs, lazy updates of Gem Store items and even WvW relink has to be reminded by players to do it lol Where are the people in ANet? Knock knock, anyone there?

The only reason why healing Scrapper is still a thing in WvW is because of PoP. You nerf that to the ground (knowing ANet always throw out high handed nerfs) and with Tempest 10 allies buff taken away in WvW too, all we have left in WvW is FBs as support.

I doubt the loss of PoP will remove it from the meta, especially to support Tempest. Hiya Rei :) I remember a few years back they nerfed anti-toxin runes, elite toolbelt skills and Scrapper traits after I spent a lot of gold building up and training hard on my Scrapper for WvW. I really liked that class but it lasted only 2-3 months, then the huge nerfs came :angry: I changed the stats of my gears and trinkets and transferred them to my Thief <3 This time around if PoP nerf is coming, i am going to wait and see as I was about to revive my Scrapper after one year plus of absence from WvW. Not going to make the same mistake twice.

> @"Smoosh.2718" said: > > > > @"DoomNexus.5324" said: > > As this will be a Cantha expansion I'm almost expecting Anet to introduce more sPvP content. Expecting in the sense of "demanding" since Cantha was probably the single most impactful addition to Guild Wars 1. It introduced us to Luxon and Kurzick as PvP factions and for new modes there was Fort Aspenwood, Jade Quarry AND Alliance Battles... If Anet doesn't do anything for sPvP with EoD I'm deeply, deeply disappointed ngl. This would be their best chance to revitalize sPvP, if they miss it... idk... I actually still have _some_ hopes left for sPvP being improved so GW2 will not fail miserably with the steam launch. Even if it's just that, I'd be kinda happy tbh. > > > If this means open world PvP i'm all over this! (not WvW, that gets stale quite quickly imo) Nothing is more fun than having PvEvP content, having to watch your back for a ganker. I do hope they will make areas of PvEvP in EoD. Why would we want gankers in a PVE world? We already have WvW for that and you can watch your back for all you want over there.

Please bring back the Season 1 Memory boxes. They were in the Gem Store during the first two weeks of Winterdays celebration and before I could buy more, they just disappeared from the gem store without any words that the sales is ending soon. Sigh. Is ANet really that short handed now :confused: ? Do I have to wait till end of this year?

Sorry about the missed out. But at least they prompted you that the sales is ending soon. In December last year, I wanted to buy at least 6 of those Season 1 Memory Boxes (Festival and Scarlet) and I was telling myself to buy them later before the sales end. But without any prompt and liked just two weeks later, they disappeared from the gem store :anguished: Yes, I did check on the gem store every day and lucky for me, i bought a few when they first appeared but I need more. Now do i have to wait till end of this year (Winterdays) for them to come back??

Make the Warclaw totally useless not just in PvE but WvW as well. Oh wait, she already is...

ALL the endless Warclaw nerfs. Now that i tested the post-nerf Kitty, I think those nerfs were justified. Without those nerfs, the Warclaw would be tooo OP and definitely game breaking. Whichever server has the most Warclaws = sure win regardless of the players' skills or zerg size. Well done NERF team.

Aurene AND Tami must die. Aurene is liked pardoned from death by ANet, just when you thought she is gone for good, she always comes back. Tami? I guess she will be around for a long time to annoy us. Please ban Tami from going to Cantha.

I am 100% for the increased in drop rates. Hope this will cause the prices of those super rare infusions to drop way below the10k and also it will stop players for using outside source to do more than 10k transactions. Hopefully everyone will have a better chance of getting them and not strictly for the whales only.

1. Stop calling out for nerfs 2. Many players will come back and restore decent population back in WvW 3. Many players will be willing to pay real money to transfer servers and Warclaw skins sales will surge and that means more money for ANet to justify further support for WvW 4. Stop calling out for nerfs 5. Last but not the least, did i mention stop calling out for nerfs? No? Ok. Wait for another 3 years.

> @"Shroud.2307" said: > I have 4 characters and all 4 of them I often play either full zerk or on the glassy side. I like high risk/high reward builds and big numbers. My favorite food that I keep in my shared inventory slot so I can use it on all my characters is Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup _(+100 Precision, +70 Ferocity)._ It's cheap and it boosts my Precision so I can afford to slot a piece of Valkyrie or something without overcapping on crit chance when buffed or by staying at minimum of 55%. > > My shared inventory >  > > I do have 2 types of ascended food that I've made, but I don't use them often really. They are; Clove Veggie Flatbread _(-20% incoming Condition Damage, +100 Expertise, +70 Condition Damage)_ and Sesame Veggie Flatbread _(Gain health every second, +100 Expertise, +70 Condition Damage)._ I have 2 condition builds for my Necro, one Scourge and one core, that I sometimes play for small scale/roaming. > The Scourge build is using Parasitic Contagion and Tormenting runes so I like the additional regen from the food. It gets pretty significant when all 3 are going. The -20% incoming Condition Damage I usually use on my core build, but it isn't totally necessary. It's just nice to have high condition output while being mostly resistant to it as well. We only have minus Condition Duration food, not minus Condi Damage. I believe that is a typo. For WvW, I feel that less 10% Damage is the optimal bonus for all food types be it for power, condi or celestial build. But only if there is a Condi Damage reduction bonus then i think that can could be the optimal choice for WvW too. But for just -20% condi duration? Not good enough.

This is the reason why i quitted WvW about a year ago. You guys are still at each other's neck calling for more nerfs to professions, runes and sigils. Omg xD

> @"sorudo.9054" said: > give it a month ;) Or wait till her/his favourite and most fun to play professions got hit by the nerf bat... and then again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

> @"Shadowmoon.7986" said: > I feel like it wont be enough because there is no xpac selling feature. Gliding, especs and challenging group content were the selling points of hot. Pof was mounts. I have a scary feeling DRM were going to be the feature, replayable story missions. Ls2 had progressively more difficult encounters both in the solo story instances, but also in map wide DT and SW. Ls3 ditched mapwide metas for more explorable maps, similar to PoF. ^This. 1st Expansion, HoT... We have a huge map, new Elite skills, new game feature, Gliding. 2nd Expansion, PoF... We have a huge map, new Elite skills, new game feature, Mounts. 3rd Expansion, EoD? Well, so far we only see a short CG video of Cantha, and the same Cantha image being posted over and over again, with the same usual disclaimer, " we are still working on it ". A new huge Cantha map is expected but what about new Elite skills? New game feature? Too early to even mention them? If so, when will EoD come? End of 2022? Or in 2023? I hope they are not selling EoD with just a new Cantha map and new fractals, raids, strike missions, dungeons and new weapon and armour skins. And of course, more same old frustrating and disappointing LW stories. And more game breaking nerfs. And DRM is a joke which is not even funny. I hope EoD is not a big LWS chapter trying to be sold as an expansion.

Nowadays WvW tags run closed squads because they only want and need meta classes, they need voice comm, they need numbers and still half the time they get wiped. Before, WvW Commanders ran open squads, invite anyone that ran next to them, no need for voice comm and still they win encounters most of the time. Notice the difference? Real Commanders vs just tags.

Please bring back the Pyre Gloves even if it's for a few days. I have waited for months.
