Please, PLEASE, if you care at all about your game (surely you do) then nerf the everloving crap out of Shadow Form so we can all actually PLAY the bloody game again.

I'm so sick of the whole "perma" thing I could puke. I've been wracking my brain, and I honestly can't come up with a worse gameplay mechanic.

That is all.

not likely considering the live team dev made it permanent and said its fun, while farming ectos for her obsidian armor

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

It keeps people happy, keeps people playing and keeps people co-operative. Some areas would become (even more) deserted without its existence.

If I were to nerf it, I'd reduce all damage dealt to 0 or something puny so as that it would be fine for co-op tank n' spank but not capable of solo vanquishing.

actually, FAR more important to change than Shadow Form (which doesn't affect my game in anyway) is RoJ not causing scatter!

I agree, nerf SF out of existence, it simply reduces the game into "get cash to pay runners", oh wait......

They should just make mission running, and buying runs, a bannable offense. I don't mind Shadow Form being used for solo farming. But
  1. I can't even get a group together for a Zaishen quest because some perma sins in the same town are offering "I play your game for you 1k"
  2. When I finally DO get a group together, I better not accept any assassins to that group because they WILL be perma sins offering to run us all (when I say no, he leaves, taking half the group with him).
Ban these asshats so I can play with people again

Yeah SF is by far the single most broken game mechanic I've ever seen.
And I've been playing a lot of RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up games.

Well i've always been one step behind in the terms of current farming builds

And for that i've hated them, i complained about ursan, i got ursan r10, and it was nerfed.
I complained about the sin farming UW, though screw it, made a sin, got all the equipment, that was nerfed. Now im finally uptodate with and can use my sin anywhere.

I wouldn't be too p*ssed it was nerfed..Again. But i'd probably complain because the next new teamway i probably won't be able to run for a while xD

I agree with this moar than shadowform, simply because i know if i made a monk, take it through the campaigns acquiring the skills and ranks, itl be nerfed. And i hate playing monks, and i don't agree that i have to make one in order to go into the UW or FoW or any other elite area.

You know what? RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you! I love Shadow Form despite not ever using it

Besides, Anet said it was fun, which it is. Goodbye

How is it you can't play the game because of this skill?

What is it that is keeping all you SF haters from forming your own groups, by now all of you should know each other from constantly qqing here about it.

Which only comes to a few hundred out of millions of players, so if Anet continues to ignore you then that would be best, because you few whiners don't speak for the community, you speak for your selves.

So the farming PUGs want SF groups, they are running specific team builds, and if you don't want to be part of that then form your own groups.

There is nothing stopping all of you from forming any groups you want, besides you unwillingness to do so. All you want to do is cry about how others play the game and how that affects your game play is unknown, because there isn't anything stopping any of you from doing things the way you think they should be done.

You didn't get your way last month and the squalling was defining and you will continue to make up crap until you do. I hope that day never comes because frankly I'm sick to death of listening to you squall boxes. There is nothing nor nobody stopping you guys from doing things with out SF.

You guys are on here every other day asking for a nerf and frankly it is the same few people every time, the reason Anet isn't listening is because you are a small few who hate it out of millions who like it.

My response to Anet about SF would be stop listening to these whiners and keep working on balancing PvP, and keep working on some new content for PVE.

Hey how about you finding some friends (they could be guildess), and forming a party that doesn't involve Shadow Form. That way you get your game, and those people that want to use Shadow Form, can do so without more whinney arse retards trying to spoil their game.

Look what nerfing Ursan did for PuG's.. and you think nerfing SF is going to make it all better again, dream on.

how about instead of nerfing a balanced skill, you try and find a balanced guild where you can play with people who don't like SF like you do.

playing with a guild... such an odd concept for a game called GUILD WARS!

stfu and quit whining.

There are enough threads about this already, and in the right forum (the suggestions forum) too. Closed.
