here, I just read this tweet on the official Arenanet twitter account: http://twitter.com/arenanet/status/3785120884
what do you guys think about that? I dunno, I think I'm happy, or maybe just happy it's official.
Inde Edit: "Shadowform allows solos to access Underworld, Fissure, etc much easier, but it is becoming more prevalent and may be issue. ~DC #GuildWars" (just an additional twitter I thought I would add to this thread)
Confirmation that the Live Team is going after SF this year

It's the SKILL, NOT THE AREAS.
I really must book some time off to read the forums when it hits.

...this year. Hmm, few months left yet lol. Glad they ARE looking at it though, so it's another "use while you can" kinda thing.
Anyway, no doubt QQWars commence
Edit:
Peeps have been under the impression (from ANet) that the areas were going to get looked at and not SF (since Linsey didn't want to spoil the enjoyment of "farming" etc etc etc)

good, no more use for assassins

Having tried perma SF on my assassin, I honestly cannot think of a more boring way to play the game. The skill collects dust.
So I can't be bothered to care either way.

As long as they admit in the developer updates for the change that they were completely retarded for ever introducing a skill like this, then I'll be happy. Otherwise, the damage is already done, who cares, dead game, insert snappy retort here, etc. etc.

I don't understand why everyone assumes the skill is going to be nerfed. Shadow Form could be a broader term meaning the areas it is capable of farming.
I hope the skill is removed, but I don't think that quote means the areas aren't going to be looked at.

I guess they've made themselves out to be liars
it was supposedly fixed after the -damage nerf (then partial unnerf)
can we just settle on something anet?

By looking into it they mean
Deadly Paradox - 5energy cost
Shadow Form- No damage reduction
and might as well give us a shout with 0 energy cost and does 9999 dmg and every condition, and to balance it give it 5 sec recharge ty.

Any chance I could be added to that list?

I am sure there are way more important things to be looking at on the BIG THINGS LIST????

Make monsters carry Expunge Enchantments.

You are all misunderstanding this. By BIG THINGS, they mean new content where you can only use Shadowform, as well as the ability to upkeep it without other skills.

Shadow Form is a rather binary state. Either you are invincible 24/7 and can do amazing things, or you have some downtime and die all the time (in which case you take another type of tank instead). As far as feedback goes Anet can decide between two bad options as both sides of the argument consider themselves serious business.
Imo, it might boil down to disabling tank and spank for a year, while restoring Ursan as the dominant overpowered speed clearing "build of the month".
Or Arenanet removes all sorts of speed clearing options and risks loosing the farmgrinders for a while. Personally, I don't mind what the Live Team does as long as it results in people having fun. The problem being that a lot of people only have fun in high power areas where the only option for them to prevail consists of breaking the game with an overpowered skill.

This is wonderful news for all professions and PvE. Means people will actually create builds, try new things, and perhaps play together instead of paying for runs.
mastar of warrior
Right. so that would be the 153 375 744 456 time they nerf Shadow form?
For running between areas there is still warriors, rangers and dervishes.
Theres still Dungeons, And there will still be 600 monks.
And, they have always Changed it back.

Don't particularly care. For farming purposes I think it's fine, apparently it's hard in some areas. Hate how it can completely reduce high end PvE to complete crap though; that needs to go. There are too many people in this game that think they've acheived some awesome feat when they actually did so by using stupid gimmick skills like this.

Long as they dont mess with my 600/smite build i'm happy. i just hope they dont give us anymore easy to run(as SF sin) UW bosses in zmissies. or else i wont be able to get it. And i also hope this wont mess with BU's since i just started to make my fortune with selling them.

Meh...too little too late. It has already been used to farm the game to shit. If I was Anet, I would have nerfed this thing within days of its invention. Actually, I would have never invented a skill that makes you invincibile.
I guess that has always been the main problem with Anet...making so much stupid crap and taking months or years to fix it.

Believe it or not, there are alot of 'players' that started GW too late to gain the experiences many of the seasoned players have.
Most cannot adapt to the synergy involed in a team environment, and cannot function without the overpowered 'skills'.
Ursan is a perfect example.
Too many cried about 'Hard mode is too hard!'...anet thought that this blessing would help...they didn't realize that there are MANY that love to EXPLOIT broken game mechanics.
meh...live and learn?
Regulus X
I wanna see the QQ's stream all across this forum, and watch all the pro farmers ragequit, leaving the poor, sorry sobs that qq'd here and wished death upon SF to boil in their solitude of heroes and henchmen as they solo-attempt high-end farming by themselves and rot in their FAIL as they realize this game's dead to begin with, and that wishing even more death isn't going to help any.
