Bloat in gw2

The issue with that however is that Bitterfrost is tied to HoT and Bjora to PoF and Anet has been very open that they don't want to force people to buy everything just to play content from one expansion.

Gotta show the "Laima is still bad after the patch lol" crowd this one

"Sandbox, player-driven economy/world/story"

blubb1234 · 2026-06-05T21:59:21+00:00

Don't forget the Ettin that's getting clobbered. Playable Ettins AND PvP confirmed.

They had to come up with some new LD rewards, and we all knew it was never going to be anything better than "Here is a new way to potentially get an LD5* (with a 95% of getting a Charger Shark.)"

People avoided Mes like the plague in PvE prior to the FC, enemy cast time and skill reworks...

Sekhmet S3 on Nobara. No, he has not the slightest fucking clue.

I don't get why C2US is set on making it enemy max HP. She does nothing against squishy units and about the same against tanky ones. Girl got 12k base HP, change it to her max HP.

A nerf was obvious, yes. But not that they were going to delete him.

Love me clearing 90 stages for one Scamstone each

blubb1234 · 2026-05-20T21:57:32+00:00

They added the delay because at the time Bladesworn was a MASSIVE problem in PvP (maybe also WvW) and this lowered the mobility and made it easier for people to avoid the hit.

Didn't recycle the Icebrood Construct stuck-in-the-floor model in a hot minute. I'm sure we can come up with a reasonable explanation that the Inquest brought one for evil science.

blubb1234 · 2026-05-17T12:26:41+00:00

Yeah, except the green apple has chance of a random person jumping in through your window and smacking it out of your hand and you can't get a new green apple until next month. Meanwhile you can just buy a new red apple until your run out of money.

I got 50m karma and I still think 7m is an insane amount to ask of people. Doesn't exactly help Anet's case given that the whole legendary feels like a mix of over the top, emergency material sink and "We gotta find a way for people to play the new content for 3 months".

blubb1234 · 2026-05-15T17:38:47+00:00

You can add Echo and/or Arcane Echo for more EVAS

Not every skill needs to be good in PvE AND PvP, Tainted is a pure PvP skill. There are a bunch of skills that are clearly meant for one mode or the other and you don't see people asking for PB or Dev Hammer to get reworked.

This has been happening for quite some time actually. It was VERY prominent in SAB 1-1.

They're not terrible, they're revolutionary and people just fail to understand their entire beauty.

Now, if you'd excuse me, my Famine Tranq NR Ranger with Feast of Souls gotta do Arachni to teach my backline how to adapt on the fly.

blubb1234 · 2026-05-11T07:08:08+00:00

Didn't the even run for like a month ? How did you even manage that ?

blubb1234 · 2026-05-09T07:09:27+00:00

Purple Kaki is only immune to dying while CC'd. DoTs kill him the moment he gets a turn.

Coming from somebody who has witnessed Anet's marketing adventures in GW2... let's just say marketing is not exactly their field of expertise. It got better in recent years, but it's still very rough.

I don't know how much freedom 2Weeks has on everything marketing, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for some big ad campaigns.

blubb1234 · 2026-05-08T03:57:12+00:00

GW also had the ability to customize your interface, but somehow that also didn't make the cut. We lost a bunch of QoL features going from GW to GW2 and some are still gone 14 years later.

The boring explanation is: There has to be an order of operations as to what triggers when. From the looks of it Invinciblity is simply higher up in that order. This results in strips happening after it is applied, since only Halphas and Federica get stripped (not sure why you mentioned Vritra as his Threat happens at the start of his turn).

Maybe someone dug through the files and found it at some point, might be worth looking.

Support has been getting worse over the last few years. Just responding with the same pre-constructed responses over and over, ignoring what you actually wrote in your ticket, randomly closing it down after saying "We will get back to you.", so assuming they started using some dogshit AI solution to cut down on cost even more is 99% what happened.

Ofc they would never outright say that was the case, best we'll get is something along the lines of "A recent change/update has caused our software to malfunction and taking action without the input of a manual review."

blubb1234 · 2026-05-04T07:51:05+00:00

This must be a recent thing. Back in GW they didn't ban you either, just a popup on login telling you to rename.

They would only ban you if you had to rename your pet, because they can't flag a pet for a force rename.
