Update - Thursday November 6

lol.

Izzy is either very bad at his job or quit trying. I'm more than disapointed that PvE players are getting a massive update next week and we get this shit sandwich. Really, it took an extra week to come up with this Izzy? Unbelievable.

oozzzz

well..at least now its easy for runners to report scammers.. i never reported a run scammer just due to the hassle i have to go through so i like the new feature

plz tell us un-nerds WTF that means

that's the new tonic.

Most attempted scams require interaction with another player that lasts long enough that you'll be able to report.

Someone was once buying ecto's for 7k, but then put up 7 gold when you went to trade. I could easily type "/report scammerdude" before he left the district.

What scam can happen so fast the player can leave before being reported anyway? If you actually get scammed, sure, you're out of luck, but I have to believe scammers fail 90% and succeed only 10% with new or foolish players.

Sounds like a winner to me.

Seeing how after 3 monthly skill updates have gone by, and smiter's boon is still in a unusably state. Last months "HB update" was just nerfing BB sins. Honestly I wonder why people expect any meaningful skill updates anymore?
Personally I feel after every skill breaking update that goes by leaving smiter's boon as an unusable skill is a testiment to how lazy izzy is.

The skill balance was more for the blood spikers in HA, i'm happy what they did here. And the new tonic is quite funny. The report /scammer will also work for the account buyers but they switch districts fast.

Can we get rid of Izzy.

Its not like he actually plays the game anymore, or at least lets say care. Bad choices, time after time again. Who the hell oks these??

they're actually fairly good updates...

All those skills that needed to be reworked and they can just be bothered by 4 of them.


Anet fails again.

No they aren't. Try using Dexterity. It's pointless. The +15% attack speed barely shows. The skill is only constantly usable if you have next to max Expertise, which gives you crap-tastic amounts of health. And +1 Marksmanship? -Ugh- Yeah, because +2 was SOOOO overpowered... -Rolls- Not to mention it's a STANCE, so while using it you're defenseless. Freaking fail. >,..,<

exactly, good balance

This is definitely the skill balance we have all been waiting for.

not impressed

so ur idea of balancing is to make a skill completely useless? u gonna be happy when every skill is nerfed so hard that mending is good in comparison?

Well, this was totally worth staying up untill 3am for =/.

/sleep.

It may be not called balancing, but a useless skill its better then a overpowered one.

Cause, ya know, GW balance updates are serious beans.

It's good to know expert's dexterity was the only overpowered skill and there aren't any other skills that were worse. Oh wait...

At this rate of small changes to 1 or 2 skills every month, we might have guild wars balanced by the time GW3 comes around.
