Nerfing the skills has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with monster AI and you know it.

Case in point, Splinter Weapon.. Used upto to hit 6 adjacent targets for about 60 damage each. Cos of PvP it got nerfed, first the damage was dropped slightly to 53, then the number of targets dropped to 3. Ok so the skill is no longer a problem in PvP, but most of the PvE mobs in Kurzick lands used Splinter Weapon. So ask yourself if a monster used the old splinter weapon on your party and the new version.. which one does the more damage to your party, and which group would be a harder challenge.

And that's only one skill, add in all the other changes and there's your reason for why PvE became a cakewalk. Nerfing skills for PvP reasons ****ed over PvE, LONG before PvE skills ever saw the light of day.

I hate to burst your bubble but if i recall, Splinter Weapon was nerfed because of PvE and not PvP. It was nerfed because of its massive abuse by both farmers and players in general which let it massacre balled up mods like they were nothing. The change made absolutely zero difference to PvPers because there is practically no situation where more than 3 people would be together close enough to get hit by it.

And frankly the same applies to PvE teams. Aside from H/H there should not be 4 players stood next to each other unless you are willing to accept the title of being dumber than the AI.

So basically you're talking ********.

Oh bloody hell. After seeing the latest game updates I thought I'd fire up GW for a few more goes only to find the account locked up. NCsoft just confirmed that it's been hacked

Waiting to get it unlocked, hopefully they haven't stolen much or deleted my characters!

This may well be my oldest thread ever that's still in use!

'in use' is very optimistic

*considers trying to log in*

Hmm... mercenary heroes for sale in the ncsoft store. Wonder whats been going on...

 

[Evilsod]

Oooo 7 heroes, nice. *starts adding 4 more heroes to my H/H Fevered Dreams build on Ele*

7 Heroes is just about the best thing to ever happen to guild wars since heroes were introduced!

Also if you are into pre searing it's the place to be right now, Repeatable rolling quests so anyone can now get Legendary Defender of Ascalon
I've had 2 account in pre for a long time, One at level 18 and one level 17 who can now continue on and finish the title each

Death levelling was so very boring not to mention very tedious, And when you get disconnected every now and then it just made you want to pull your hair out !!!

 

[Evilsod]

Death levelling was the complete anti 'defender'. Just made it stupid that was the only way.

Why stick around in pre though if thats all you can get from it

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Zomg! Anyone that still has a copy, there's a FANTASTIC April Fools going on. Get to Embark Beach ASAP and go talk to the NPC next to the Apache Attack Helicopter. Yes, the Apache Attack Helicopter.

screenshot? i can't be bothered to install it just for that

Basically you bump into a time traveling commando who teleports you to Pre-Searing Ascalon during the Guild Wars. When you get there you are kitted out as a commando, with skills like frag grenade, land mine and tango down. The disguse you wear gives you the status of 'going commando'. Quite hard, haven't completed it yet.

Also, check out the faux class reveal on the GW2 site:

[HeX]

Outstanding

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Haha turns out the Charr have sent an 'annihilator' from the future to kill Gwen's mum, Sarah.

It's a level 30 Golem, hard to take down, with a snaring skill called Sky Net.

Good times.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Curse my lack of PC in this household! I must play Guild Wars today.

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Quest is repeatable and rewards you with 1k gold and 2k of experience and Vanguard Rep points and takes about 10 minutes a run. Guess what I'm farming today

 

[Evilsod]

Lol, Anet always did have a good sense of humour when it came to April Fools Day.

 

[SiD the Turtle]

Apparently the April Fools quest will be around until Monday.

 

[Purdy]

What profession would people recommend for soloing stuff or general farming? Is it still sins or whatever you want, would prefer not to be a sin or a monk

 

[arknor]

anyone got a factions or epic trial key?

 

[mortals]

Anyone still playing guildwars?

I re-installed it and have started playing again also just ordered factions so I have all of them.

I've created 2 new characters, a w/me and a me/el didn't realize how fun it is to play as a mesmer on PvE. The damage you can do to multiple targets is amazing.

Also noticed I have 19 pets now

 

[Snograt]

I just log on Mondays these days, purely to collect the crap for Nicholas the Traveller's gifts and update the Guru thread for the same.

The grind is insufferable now. I really want GWAMM and 50/50 but I don't want to do the work in getting there

Just a few thousand sweet and booze points, plus a few more Flameseeker Prophecies books for Legendary Survivor and I'm there.

Farming XP this way really kills the game, but I'm too crap to get LS through UW runs and not rich enough to buy it with Kath hammers
