nerfed my knights boots just after i got fow, now im broke and can't get new ones

gg anet, i hate you

Hey it your own choice for buying that silly expensive armor for an exploit in the first place. Armor was always meant to be in sets not pieces. They did not nerf that armor at all they fixed an exploit. If you were exploiting the armor deal with the consequences of the fix.

Why the hell would they leave it for over a year, then change it.

Ofcourse that was going it be my choice since its the best one available.

Just a note, remember that Arrows count as Physical damage. As well, a couple of spells deal physical damage (I think).

My best guess is only recently have they been able to globally affect all accounts with necessary equipment changes. I am sure this was the intent a while back say 6 to 9 months ago. With all programming and global changes and using scripts these things take time to implement and program. Anet spends a great deal of time creating tools for their programmers to use. As the game progresses more tools will be added to the construct that is Guild Wars so changes such as the Knights Armor FIX and the Rockmolder FIX can be made quicker.

ALSO... I hope the -50 cesta will be NERF'd NEXT since now they CAN affect accounts and equipment GLOBALY

Ahem...

As a bit of a gaming company leagal fact I shall state the policy on who owns a game.

A game belongs to the company who creates it. They are free to make any changes they see fit. They are alowed to completely change game mechanics whenever they want, it is after all their game.

Just because you purchased a package that enables you to play the game, does not mean you "own" it.

That being said, you can't just say "I bought the game, now they have to do as I say." You would in fact be false.
It is their chioce to make apropriate changes, because they know if they don't, consumers are less likely to buy more of their products, resulting in lowered profit. So it is in the companies best interest to make reasonable changes sugested by the consumers.

Oh and no, I am not a lawyer, I just know a good many gaming laws

If this was a single-player game, you knew exactly what you bought. When one chooses to buy an online-only game, that puts him/her completely at the company's mercy?

Put simply, yes. You have to remeber when buying any online/multiplayer game that the company is free to change it, and free to make you change it (in this example, but not for games where you download patches).

Nothing really, just made changes to their game. I adapted, end of story.

I don't even understand why they changed it,Hell if youre an elementalist/mesmer/necromancer who can't kill a warrior you've got to be a pretty bad player.

I am sorry but killing a warrior is not easy, and this post asumes that the necro is running curses and the mesmer is running illusion.
so if a necro who is running death magic faces a war and gets killed he must be a terrrible player. the same way, a mesmer who has domination skills must suck as well, because backfire/guilt/diversion isn't really ain't warrrior.
a tbh an elementalist will have trouble killing a warrior one on one.
lets look at this closely.
fire magic: high damage no defense
water magic:good snares no damage
lighting magic:this will keep a warroir down for a long time but tbh your going have trouble killing him.
earth magic: who runs this?

one last final point.
Guild wars isn't a one on one battle situation.
so really at the end of the day, its not the flashbots job to kill the war, its to keep the warrior down and off the monk, while the anti-monk takes down the
its taget the healing stops and the rest of the team kill the warrior.

edit-

and to all those who bought FoW knights,
sucks to be u at the moment, but it was a bug fix not a nerf.

That was not ANET fault that was NCSoft Fault. Get your facts straight.

Thoes missions were supposed to be 1337 to stress the HORROR of the Grasp invasion. (GUESSING to be continued with GW3 NIGHTFALL?)

Exploits are never secure. The Armor was an exploit. Exploit FIXED.

Quote:

4 Nerfing my pre-nerf Rockmolder about 6 months after you could have

I believe “could have” is more recent then you think. Only recently has ANET shown they could modify accounts Globally.

Quote:

5 Making a huge mess out of today, including today's computer lock-ups at certain zones

Messes are to be expected with any update. ANET has always shown to be quick on fixes unlike other MMO”s

Quote:

6 The insane elite mission mess that has brought the worst out of many otherwise good gamers

I have some agreement with that statement. Even though my guild is 2 mil away from taking HzH from oOo Faction Farming has brought out some of the worst in guilds and people. However I am happy to say I have made a LOT of money from Faction Farming before joining DMV and WHOA alliance.

Sorry to inform you but LIFE is ambiguous and broken. Why should a game be perfect? WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE REAL -Morphious

8 Unfunning this game

Sorry to hear you’re having unfun… I am having fun and am happy ANET takes steps to ensure the survival of the game though balancing and streamlining.

Well 1 out 8 is kinda poor if you ask me.
