GW2: Update Notes Thread

pretty large update 10k+ files, only 430mb ish

**Arcana** · 2013-03-26 13:03

Looks like those weapons are BLC only.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-26 13:05

Loving the changes to Engineer turrets, but they really need a defensive buff or something.

**ClarkSammich** · 2013-03-26 13:16

turrets are still awful, the super elixir buff doesn't work (same values as before the patch), the grenade kit recast w/ trait nerf doesn't work, etc.
kit refinement not worth taking anymore

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-26 13:38

Fused/Guild weapons look pretty kick ass. Fused Focus reminds me of Ifrit's Claws.

Pretty much. I'm half tempted to say screw it and go back to full time grenades.

Does the changes to world bosses mean that the zerg will be more bearable rather than 5 minutes of virtues not going off? As i understood it, people have been jumping from server to server to constantly loot the world bosses.

**Churchill** · 2013-03-26 13:54

No, what was happening before was you could get 1 rare for each event per character, guaranteed.

Now you can get 1 rare for each event per account, guaranteed. However, you can still get rares from the big chest as many times as you want to do the event until DR.

People swap servers because it's not always up on their own, and it's faster to do Maw->Behemoth->Elemental->Worm->Harathi->randomdragon->Maw->Elemental->newserverbehemoth->Harathi->Worm etc

For event farmers, they'll still do the same thing, just less benefit from it because fuck playing the game how you want. This is also why the Rich Ori vein was removed, as each server is different (and has different node layouts). If you had 8 characters (with guesting) you could have been mining 240 ore a day.

Skill lag in PVE is just a result of their servers being bad/clustered poorly. Welcome to EB or every 20+ man battle since the guesting patch.

Holy shit at the quickness nerf... I guess time warp isn't going to have quite the same effect now?

**Arcana** · 2013-03-26 16:54

It's still the best elite for a mesmer and quickness will still have its place, just means that Spvp will be entertaining to watch now that teams cant be burned down & stomped in a matter of seconds.

Tagus · 2013-03-26 17:08

idk the timer on it is so long, it might help you win a fight or maybe two a game. Crazy... I thought backstab was supposed to get nerfed, and they hit quickness. How annoying!

**ClarkSammich** · 2013-03-26 17:33

WvW is fucking glorious after the culling fix, I can actually see the people I'm trying to throw my draconian-ground-targeted explosives at. Also, thieves get smacked the fuck down nonstop since people can see them lolol

**Kiarax** · 2013-03-26 17:57

As much as I loved my TW, Quickness really needed a nerf. No notable adjustments to classes I give a shit about but still pretty good overall.

A whole lot of this.

Being able to spot an entire army and see where to best place the bust has been an absolute thrill. People were predicting zergbusting groups were going to take the hit, but so far it's been a field day on the zergs.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-27 10:01

Loving the changes to WvW, but my framerate goes to hell in huge battles. Gotta tweek settings later tonight when I experiment in WvW.

Event is live and its amazing

**Aevis** · 2013-03-31 19:00

It is, until you hit the frog boss and can't kill him because he seems bugged atm. Ah well, we all had way too much fun getting there and I just love that PvE stats and skill don't matter at all.
