Who said anything about the meta? It's about having fun and the character I have fun with is getting nerfed because some other game mode, which sucks. They should have split stats years ago.

tyblazitar posted:I think it should be pretty uncontroversial to say that the amount of healing druids can do without any healing power, enabling them to function as raid healers in full viper/berserker gear is kind of ridiculous. I also think it's a good thing that they're trying to make healing power a less lovely stat. Then again, I already had a full ascended magi set on my druid so it doesn't really affect me much. Oh yeah I always forget about Engineer

They should have split stats years ago. Given the open world PvE meta is so face-rollingly easy, I can't see how this nerf will in any way affect any druid's ability to get full participation credit. Basically, unless you're raiding, who even gives an actual gently caress.

engies are better condi dps than reapers, but reapers are much easier to pull off that condi than engies.

I really don't understand character names like this. Can you please explain the joke? It's hard to express emotion in text, but I'm not angry. It's more like I saw that name and was overcome with a wave of exhaustion.

The joke is we just had an expansion about Sylvari racism. Yes it is a play on words. No, it isn't actually racist any more than saying "Black Lives Matter" which if you think that statement is racist, you're proooobably filled with a few controversial opinions yourself.

I'm not particularly bothered by it (disclaimer: I'm white) but it makes light of something that people try and dismiss, like, a lot. And I have seen enough people hijack that phrasing for serious attempts to draw inappropriate and gross parallels. So I think suggesting that people who are bothered by it are the real racists is kind of lovely. It's not the end of the world but I don't think it's unreasonable to be bent out of shape about it. It is using a real struggle for recognition of basic humanity as a platform for a tree racism joke, and, like, yeah, it's not being oversensitive to not be okay with it.

I considered a name change already but gently caress if I'm spending another 800 gems for a contract when I'll probably get a free one soon enough from being reported. I would remake but I want to get my free black lion keys from the story first. I do not wish to derail the thread with this so I will keep any further stuff private or to myself but I assure you it was simply a play on words for a laugh and I personally found it to be rather tame, though I acknowledge not everyone is going to have the same sense of humor or the same opinions. I am no stranger to racism IRL nor do I actually find it funny when something or someone is very clearly racist and I sincerely hope this has not caused anyone to view me as such. Anyone who knows me knows I'm just looking to have a good time with my dudes and laugh about various "dank" memes on the internet.

Its sad that you simply made an obvious joke and need to apologize like you went on massive racist tirade. Hell I had some ideas after seeing that, make a TriggeredTyrian character with pet pigs called white male and problematic, the other is far to racist to post and would get me banned so I'll keep that one to myself(Disclaimer: I'm puertorican.)

Something being a joke doesn't automatically make it okay, making a debatably tasteless joke doesn't mean a person's literally hitler, and someone deciding to apologize for a joke doesn't mean they're being made to do so. You're being way oversensitive here. It sounds like everything's settled peaceably, everyone's cool, and there's no need to be intentionally offensive on behalf of a gag character name. In conclusion,

It sucks that some people found it too offensive but I can't tell others how to feel about this or that really. Oh well, someone was kind enough to gift me a name change contract (Thank you whomever it was!) and I now have the gooniest name Anywho the matter is resolved I suppose and hopefully goons will accept I'm actually just really bad at naming things/puns and am in no way racist.
