It's offical! A.net HATES trees!

time to pull out my plant weapons!

....MUST.... RESIST.... OBVIOUS... WOOD.... JOKE....MUST.. RESIST!!!

You are kidding me, right?

However, I wish Anet would take a closer look at all the monsters and henchmen and how skill changes affect them.

how about urgoz? he is a big tree

\/\/TS perfect pruning mods, 2k each!!1111

I think the most ominous sounding weapon name I've ever got as a drop was "forbidden staff of pruning".

Just thought I'd share that.

It was the one arm man!!!

This is dull, the game will always be balanced around PvP, get used to it, at least you got Gwen and unlinked favor of the gods when you complained about sitting in ToA for ages w/ no ecto runs >< I /QQ

It stops today!
I shall run no more!
I shall stand up against the injustice of this world!
No tree shall be ever harmed again!
They can delete my characters, they can give away all my gold - but they won't take the freedom of the trees!

Tonight we dine manure to show support for our brethren!

Just goes to show how diabolical their plan is!
We, the heroes, are going against it! The tree is portrayed as the source of all evil!
I am telling you - I wouldn't be surprised if by next week we'll have pictures of naked A.Net interns dancing around a burning tree, drinking sheep blood!
Mark my words!
Naked dancing!
Sheep blood!



I think it was pretty obvious that that was what I was going at.
It's just that SOMETIMES it's more effective to express the negative view through a different way then to make the 1000th thread titled "OMG!11! A.Net are teh SUXORS!11!!! They hate PvE!11!!" At least that way the thread might stay open long enough for somebody to actually notice it and do something about it rather then turning into a pissing contest and be closed down after 5 posts!
Know thy target audience - save the cheerleader!
Or tree in this case!

Man that reminds me of the time I was in Aspy.
I was running Domination.
Then I decided that it would be better to switch to Illusion.
So I switch the skills - but not the attribute points.
Then I get in and start panicking in the team cheat that my hexes were nerfed and the game is bugged because my Nightmare lasted only like 2 secs when it should have 13!
Just goes to prove that I can still do it!
(Self-ownage that is!)
Quick Robin!
To the edit button!

edit: An NO! You can't have what I am having!

well that means at least one thing is easy to beat in HM now......

I look forward to Zinger posts.

Petrified Forests, 'nuff said.

Maybe some of the skill balancers got beaten by a stick as a child and now they unload all the traumatic experience through friday night updates.

wow, please work on building roads and parking lots over these trees

Yes but it was never the health that is considered imba

Also
Illidus of the Empty Palm cannot use his Dual...noticed this today.
It was hard enough for him since he has no hex, but now its completely impossible.

Luxon's got pwnt >.>

i think the Bonus mission pack proved that Anet loves trees =] at least, irl.

Yep your probably correct, pvp is the melting pot where most skill ballancing comes from and its effectively a good cheap way of beta testing skills before finalising them.
Certainly more skill combinations are tried in pvp than pve.

This also means that pvp causes arenanet programmers more work so if they ever decide pvp is causing more problems than it solves then it will change.
This will Probably be worse for the game as a whole.

Of course this doesnt mean as a pve player I will ever stop moaning about pvp pressure making my pve skills change.
But then Im a grumpy old man who loves to moan.

All that A-net needs to learn how to do is recycle. Recycle the skills that have no meaning or purpose anymore. You have skills that will never see the light of day, if you do not make them more versatile. Seriously, it’s not just about the overpowered skills, it’s also about the inadequate skills that need to be taken in consideration for the balance. Otherwise, every skill (or profession(s)) will eventually die a painful and horrid death.

Anets HQ is surrounded by Trees so how could they hate them being around Seattle.Go get Greenpeace on them maybe they will change it.

That's just it, if you are around too many of them for too long, you may get sick of them and want to hurt them!

Evil trees that want to hurt people, turning an entire forest to stone, weapon modifiers specifically tailored to making plants die faster, fire magic being extra effective on plant types, I see how it is...

Imagine how many enemies the Silvari are going to have...
