Where is the "Thursday Nerf"?
xDusT II
They usually don't make any major updates close to a Monthly for obvious reasons...

I can still clearly recall thinking "three Wednesdays and no update" and a few cases of "an update and it isn't Wednesday?" until that became normal. Heck Friday updates that are more than setting up a special weekend still irritate me because of that - one of the bad parts of being a long term player is we don't like it when things change even if that change happened a few years ago
For those of you that are not that long term you have a different set of things that are "supposed" to happen.

Last year for april fools they made everyone's character the opposite sex. Maybe this year they will make everyone that uses Ursan LOSE life when they attack instead of dealing damage. With no death count of course. You know there will be some sort of nerf or change to HA, double fame always ties into some kind of "test".

- Added the ability to use 7 heroes
- Removed lootscaling
- Removed left overs from the anti farm code
- Added new mini pet 'Care bear'
Anet wishes you happy farming and lots of fun experimenting with synergy builds. Cause, we DO care about the fun factor in this game! Now go get them Tiger!

Anet really needs to nerf Ursan just for the QQ threads! lolz
As other have said, might be a good idea for an April fools joke

The update you should be praying for should be:
- Added the Xunlai Marketplace in the Battle isles, once a character has gained access to the outpost, that character can use the ""
- Updated the drop tables so all inscribed items may drop worldwide.
- Added 10 PvE skills to Prophecies as rewards for completing the Titan quests and the Sorrow's Furnace quests. Characters that have already completed them will receive them automatically.
- Added and End-Credits area to Prophecies which players access by completing Hell's Precipice.
- Added 5 Challenges to Prophecies. They an be accessed now where the access to the Arenas previously where, from Lion's Arch, Henge of Denravi, Amnoon Oasis, Droknar's Forge and Ember Camp.
- Changed all effects that replace all equipped skills so they ignore equipped armor properties and primary attribute (Brawling, Junundu, Siege Devourer, Norn Blessings, etc).
And sensible things like those!

Thursday Nerf is occasionally later followed by the mitigating damage update, trying to deal with the complaints from the (mainly) PvE community while keeping the PvP'ers happy. It is a nice weekly "event" that is often more fun then the by now normal weekend events of double something or other. Imagine my shock when this week we got..... NOTHING  Some will ask, what is the point of this thread and I am getting to it - did anyone else notice the Thursday Nerf trend and do you think ANet should make it official or should they stop changing the game and let us play already? |

Evidence that the Guru population has hit rock bottom.
A QQ thread, not about a stupid/poorly planned nerf... but about there not being a stupid nerf.

They nerfed Sundering/Penetrating attack SO hard, that the nerfing needs a week off.
Those skills went from so-so before the buff, to awesome after the buff. Then useless post-nerf. What a tease...

Pewpew Turret is still quite effective in PvE. But anything is effective in PvE.

There is a Monthly Automated Tournament (MAT) this weekend, so unless a skill was ridiculously overpowered, no skill changes.
