It's a boring game. People farm when they've beat it so they can buy the few rare items as entertainment. Why deny people making the best of boredom? Take out titles and PVP if that's the case.

That is your oppinion. There are many players who would aggree more with your username than your beliefs. I for one continue to play gw after i completed the missions because i enjoy it. Plently of people also enjoy titles and pvp.

The assumption that a change to Essence of Celerity is meant to nerf UW runs is wholly incorrect. That was not the goal behind this change. To put it simply, the item was straight overpowered and there is no way you can argue that it wasn't. Giving it a 5% reduction across the board is hardly a heavy enough nerf to be claiming that it will ruin all your fun. I'm not trying to nerf it into oblivion, just tweak the numbers to make it a little more balanced in relation to the other consumables. You have to admit, 5% is fairly minor in the grand scheme of things. This change was meant to go into next week's build so on its own, it's just kind of hanging out in the wind, shivering and sad without all it's little friends to keep it company. Does "friends" mean nerfs to all consumables? No. Stop making so many assumptions, geez. I'm just being facetious. - Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpgLinsey talk 21:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Linsey pisses me off. Its not just this post. Its all the other "omigawd all these updates are gonna be like..soooo awesum" posts where they're pretty much making some heavy handed changes to a bunch of stuff APART FROM TITLES which was what this update was supposed to be about.

I suppose I can handily summarise my sentiments with a resounding Meh.

The title update hasn't happened yet. Some people should be forced to have the all of the posts in the thread read aloud to them before they are allowed to post. God knows they can't read it on their own.

Don't quite understand why Linsey would deny wanting to nerf Celerity because of UWSC. I'd say that was a genuine reason - moreso than the given reason, at least. Being able to complete an elite area using a handful of solo builds just seems so broken.

People seem convinced "cryway is next on the line", but I don't think I've ever seen anyone PuG it very successfully. As for SF nerf, they never should have changed it in the 1st place without properly considering the consequences.

QFT

The SF buff was plain retarded, and even when they tried to fix it it remained way overpowered. God Mode should not exist. It is still very hard for me to understand their rational behind that buff. And don't give me bs about how u could maintain SF permanently before the buff, yes you could, but you couldn't solo 90% of the quests UW/FoW doing it.

Well you COULD solo most of the UW with it before, it just took 10x as long as it does now and was much harder. Agreed about the buff though. Its like Anet thought "OMG the noobs are gonna be pissed that we nerfed ursan, quick give them something else to farm with".

Oh and btw, the Celerity update HAS happened, so I'd recommend you follow your own advice.

You were complaining about the lack of title updates. The title update has not happened yet. The EoC nerf is completely separate from the title update now and bears no relevance to whether the title update is complete or not. Do I need to spell it out for you?

Whenever i'm in a team I always sigh internally when I see those little icons pop up that means somone has activated a con set. They're just not needed.

A much better nerf would be to make them individual, rather than team based. At least then their use would be curtailed and people would have a choice to how they wanted to team.

But as I said, too little too late imho
I totally agree. I think individuals should still be able to use them. Especially for beginners or people without a lot of experience. I have played for 40 months now and I know it was awesome to play a new area with experienced players when I first started but it is a nice addition to be able to use something to get closer to the more experienced players level so it doesn't hinder the team too much and make you feel like you just wasted someon'e time. I do not agree with the team having all the buffs though. I think it could be an easy fix for ANET to do this. I think there is a place in teh game for them, I just think the current method is poor.
