Today's update made me wonder whether I can get an early glimpse at the upcoming fluxes, well here they are:



Keep in mind some of them are not released yet, so they may change or disappear entirely!

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

Battle Frenzy, Stand Together, Death's Succor, and Fight or Flight are all retarded Fluxes.

lol silly pvp.....renewing escape...that annoying shadowstepping runner just got more annoying

second thoughts.....I hope they differenciate (sp?) between party members and "allies". It would kinda blow if every one of the npc allies that died gave your party 5% dp for the fight against despair flux.

I don't want to sound stupid, but I see 13 Fluxes. Last I checked, there are only 12 months in the year...

Anyways, I'm predicting Battle Frenzy to be August's Flux.

Am I reading Solidarity right? If you're alone, enemy can only inflict 20 DPS at most, and if you're bunched up, say 8 of you, enemies can inflict up to 160 DPS per player?

So every solo is a tank vs. a group?

That's because you forgot about the 13th month: Remember. It's after November and before December.

Was it in the Datfile?? Or was it from your PhotoShop?

The way "more than x per second" works in GW is => at the end of each second, it adds up all damage taken, and if it's higher x, you got healed for any amount above x. So you can still take more damage, you just get healed for it after the second is over.

Spikes and such will still works, whereas a balanced team would have major efforts killing 1 guy.

There may be 12 months but who said there can't be more fluxes than months? It could make the cycle interesting therefore moving up a place every year. This means that special events in the calender will not necessarily every the same effect in pvp every year.

Not really bothered about it. I don't PvP, so I'm just looking at this thread since I'm bored

Huh?

Explain to me how There Can Be Only One is a counter to anything? The flux is Anet's attempt to create new tactics in order to get the best out of the current flux. Linebacking is how you can benefit from this one, also spiking eles. This in no way does this counter triple melee or suggest fixing Dervishes to a reasonable state.

It's created reward out of playing defensively and turning that into attack. If anything it's made matches extremely boring to watch, and lots of easy kills.

And those other Fluxes are clearly faked, since when has Anet pre-released information like this ever? And who is this dude who's posting anyways? I also love how he says "some aren't released yet, so don't be surprised if they don't actually get used". Yeah, makes you look REAL credible.

Well the last update "added support" for the August flux, it's possible others were put into the dat as well and he's gotten them from looking through what files were changed/added to the dat.

I'd be surprised if that many had been put in but you never know, they hardly sound unlikely.

Reading the .dat file won't show up as if you're hovering your mouse over the flux icon in-game.
Why bother to convert .dat information in to believable text from the game if you're not trying to fool anyone?

Solidarity makes no sense at all?

I think it's supposed to say: for each ally in the area, you get 20 damage reduction each second.

I interpret it as creating a cutoff of damage that you can take while allies are in the area, with the cutoff increasing as more allies are closer. It's sorta like the Guild Lord's Amulet of Protection.

In a team of eight where all eight players are close enough to each other, each of them could only take up to 160 damage per second, past which the damage would be healed/prevented. However, a player that splits off from the main team and moves around alone would only take a maximum of 20 damage each second.

I don't want it to be fake, but they'll be mad, regardless.

Out of interest, can someone post a screenshot of what the .dat file looks like for a comparison/example?

20 damage each second, gogo Healing Breeze?

Nah that wouldn't make sense, since the flux' name is Solidarity, so more people close together should be better than a person alone.

Go look at the Guild Wars files.

Actually, I'll tell you. There's 3 files, sometimes only two. A gw.dat file, a gw.exe, and a temporary file.

The .dat is 3.2 gigs. What's contained in there? Images, textures, game data, everything in the game is in there. That could include the text boxes that pop up as you hover it over.

It could be a fake, but it's also potentially very real. If it's fake, it was a funny read to think on, if it's real, it'll be interesting for sure. I won't complain about some changes. Stale games are stale - I'm a guy who can't stand a game if I can't mod it continually to my liking, changing things up. If I'm putting thousands of hours into a game, I'd like it to continually change.

Battle of Attrition looks brutal. Not sure how GvGs would play under that. Extra monks? Everyone has hard res? Bring no damage because you're only going to have to kill 60'ed targets?

This would be even worse for the state of PvP. I honestly hope the OP is BSing cause quite a bit of these fluxes are god awful.

Well an other issue would be for RA or even HA... some flux give a too unfair advantage for team holding halls( 1v1) or even in RA for teams having monks....
