Even as we speak, ArenaNet is battling with all it's might to defeat the god of gods spell, Shadow Form. With ArenaNet allying with the god of Death, Dhuum. Shadow Form is still unstoppable. They managed to weaken it several times but still rules Tyria.
4 Month battle of Shadow Form is still going on, their nerf has once again failed.

DO NOT lose hope, they have beaten Ursan they can beat Shadow Form!

... Apparently Bi-monthy means quarterly or some other word that means 5 months.
Oh well, it doesn't matter to me as long as backbreaker sins get nerfed.

HEY REGINA! It would be nice for any info like,
We are adding, this and this.
or
You are going to love the fixed skills, over 4 months we balanced every skill in the game.
or
Skill update next week!

I hate waiting without some sort of reason if anyone hasn't guessed.
I'm sure she is working hard, but me personally I'll be constantly on the forums with info of what's going to happen or giving a thought on the matter or hell, add a comment on the Suggestion Forum.

I wasn't expecting the skill balance so early in the month. I wish ANet would give us an update on the skill balance status though. (Seriously, we shouldn't have to ask.)

We can only hope it will be next week. Anet has given us as much info as they could about the update and now we can only wait. I hope they work hard enough so that the update takes place next week. Although with the test krewe there to test them, if something goes bad it'll be hard work for nothing and we will have to wait some more.

Faith is lost, but there is still one hope left out there to deal with the chaotic tyranny and overlord-style dominance that is Shadow Form:

No, faith is still lost.

Ha ha! SF will NEVER be nerfed! Every one of you people so concerned with how everybody else plays the game will have to qq about something else now.

jk. As much as I wish they would stop playing around with crap that has zero impact on the game, anet has always taken care of it's special qq pets. You'll eventually get your nerf.

January skill balance? What?

Yeah, Test Krewe is still working on it.

I'd tell you all to be patient, but I'm not getting paid to be saying nice things. I'm about as pissed as the lot of you are.

It's technically only the first thursday of the month. They have another week before a January skill update is late.

One of two things is going on here. Either Anet has once again fulfilled their nickname of FAILnet. OR, there is a gigantic skill balance update coming which will not only nerf SF but will balance every skill in the game. I read something Regina said, I can't remember where, but she said there is a Tactics buff coming. We'll see.

^yea KFC just subscribed to me for 1 year^

P/

you have to love Shadow Form whiners. Mainly those who can't even press 123 and keep it. I'm getting tired of seeing SF NERF everywhere in game, and in forums, with each new build. And I bet most of the guys who "want" SF nerfed are ones who use it, and just want to look cool in forums or stuff. Ban me, disagree with me, throw bad words or stuff, it's still the truth.


yer I expect to be quoted with something like "Cool Story Bro".
yer, I use Shadow Form.


Peace!

As soon as SF gets nerfed, it will be replaced by Obsidian Tanks.

Much improval isn't it?

Yay!
Finally they are addressing the important issues.
Hopefully the clipping issues with the costumes will be next!

It'll be 3 months late even if they release it next week...and of course there's the routine false promise of keeping us in the loop.

it's still slower. SF is overpowered mostly because it allows you to quickly play through, well, almost entire game and run/farm everything in no time.

Said .dll file was able to be exploited for use in various PvP bots - in particular an increasingly common interrupt bot. The fix is a standard Anet workaround though, you can be sure that such bots were only very slightly hindered by this change.

I just bet 25€ with a friend on how the update will be delayed yet again for January. That shows my level of confidence with this.
