So I'm interested in getting back into this game with a friend of mine who hasn't really played MMOs before. I stopped playing the game back when my experience boiled down to logging in to buy/sell mats on the AH if the margins were right, grinding chars to max level from crafting alone and stopping only for the occasional jumping puzzle. This was when Tequatl was a brand new thing, so I've been... two years away now? Has there been anything significant that has changed in that time that I should bear in mind diving back in? Are there useful plugins or new design elements I should be aware of?

I really hope thief pistol finally gets that overhaul that was promised over a year ago. It probably won't but I can dream.  Will quote this after patch drops if it pistol gets changed and apologize to anet for my frequently rude tone and also take responsibility for many things that aren't even my fault, like them indefinitely suspending development of new legendaries.

Well, ranger sword change is happening so... What other huge changes, if only to class weapons/abilities also is in need of changing? Ranger traps had the aoe option removed a while back so that needs fixed.

Can't load the forums to get the patch notes, but there is this front page article: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-spring-quarterly-update/That Article posted:In addition to all the things I’ve talked about here, this update includes a large series of improvements to Fractals and PvP, plus a full balance update for skills, a new legendary short bow, the long-awaited final tier of the legendary backpack, new daily achievements, LFG improvements, a new raid lobby, and more. It’s more than I could hope to cover in a blog post. We have thirty pages of release notes for you to read today, but better yet, come join us in the game and check out all these changes for yourself.

A free max level character of your choice AND a shard inventory slot? quote:With this quarterly update, we’re giving all existing and new Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns purchasers a max-level character boost, so you can immediately get one of your characters to the new jungle and Living World content.

We’re bringing more rewards back to dungeons, doubling the dungeon tokens from daily bonus chests, and introducing a new repeatable achievement that awards 5 gold and 150 dungeon tokens for every eight unique dungeon paths you complete. We’re also substantially reducing scribing costs—both by reducing the material requirements on recipes and by increasing the supply of key materials—so that scribing can be for everyone, not only for players with a guild supporting them. Oh man, this is starting to look really good. E;fb

Baron Von Pigeon posted:I really hope thief pistol finally gets that overhaul that was promised over a year ago. It probably won't but I can dream. I can't tell yet if there was any changing to damage coefficients, but unload now gives you 8 seconds of might for every hit, so that's 8 stacks every time you do unload. Dear arenanet, I am sorry for my harsh tones. That was uncalled for and overly critical. I am sorry that I could not deliver the legendary weapons in an orderly fashion and I accept the consequences. I am sorry that spider path TA got bugged, totally my fault too. I am also responsible for not fixing it. THAT SAID this isn't really an overhaul so if you could see to it to change body shot into a good skill and up the range to 1200 I will officially take the blame for Scarlet being such a turd of a character.

I wish they removed Auric Basin, and Tangled Depths from timers, and made them like Silverwastes that when the map meta is done it triggers the boss event. But still hopefully the changes are a step in the right direction.

quote:Dragon’s Stand Thank god quote:We overhauled daily achievements, adding new, specific Heart of Thorns dailies for those who own the expansion, plus new jumping puzzle, minidungeon, and dungeon path dailies to the regular rotation. These changes—plus the addition of a new flat gold reward for completing the Daily Completionist achievement—should encourage players to explore a wider variety of content. More good poo poo quote:Each day there will be 3 recommended islands given to players, with each island having daily achievements for completing it at or above scale 1, at or above scale 26, at or above scale 51, and at or above scale 76. Players will be awarded the daily achievement for that recommended island when completing it at that scale or higher. As an example, if one of the recommended islands is Uncategorized, players can complete Uncategorized at scale 62 to attain the achievements for completing it at or above scale 1, 26, and 51 in a single run. The achievement for scale 76 or above will remain locked unless players complete Uncategorized at either scale 79 or 91. The following changes were made to fractal achievements: This is goddamned beautiful and will hopefully cut down on having to run Swamp literally 5-6 times a day to do dailies. That said, good loving luck on Cliffside Day quote:Retired the existing Core Fractal Hero and Casual Fractal Hero achievements for scales 1 – 20 and 21 – 50. Lmao that the 1-20 and 21-50 achievements didn't really go anywhere quote:At higher fractal scales, players suffer from Mistlock Instabilities—effects that increase the challenge of a given fractal. Unfortunately, many of the current instabilities are frustrating rather than fun, so we’re making several balance changes to remove the biggest pain points when playing with these instabilities. No Pain, No Gain no longer means "enemies will all have max stacks of every boon in the game" and hopefully they unfucked Last Laugh's circles quote:Cliffside CLIFFSIDE REWORK THANK YOU GOD I take back what I said before about Cliffside day being guaranteed to be awful Magres fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Apr 19, 2016 |
