+40% axe better than HoD? - Page 18 - Guild Wars Forums

My Sweet Revenga · Dec 20, 2005, 09:52 AM // 09:52

I heard some people complaining about some in PVP with non-stop spellbreakers going. They could have been exaggerating but I'm sure it was incredibly annoying. That alone is reason enough for anet to kill ALL the axes. I mean, the alternative would be to go through every enchantment skill in the game and nerf them to balance with the axe..... option 1 sounds much easier

From Gaile's statement, they'll probably disable all the axes so 1 of the grips will just go *poof*. Now all you got is a low damage axe with a single +enchant grip that's worth maybe 1/1000th of what it was over the weekend. I wonder what the next fad will be.... grips of PRUNING!!!!!!

My understanding from Gaile is that even the axes in our inventory will be changed/removed.... :P

Xenrath · Dec 20, 2005, 09:59 AM // 09:59

ALL the axes will be fixed according to that post yes. Gotta laugh at the saps who spent large sums of time and money getting these. I doubt Anet cares about people who are so willing to take advantage of an exploit.

great work anet on this...come on people did you SERIOUSLY think this axe was going to be permanent?...its exploiting a glitch, this is nothing like the HoD sword, that was not a glitched item. Anet obviously isnt going to allow a bugged item that is this overpowered to stay in the game...as they shouldnt. Im trying to warn people in game about the nerf and am getting sooo many hate whispers of people telling me im lying about it, and that im a moron for saying they are fixing it. Everyone that is flaming me for it is just mad they lost so much money on buying one..or is mad because its hurting their sales because they know its getting removed and wants to scam it off to some uninformed person...well thats wrong.

Ajora · Dec 20, 2005, 10:17 AM // 10:17

Will this fix also cover the hammer form of the bug?

Yeah, I looked into that hammer as well, but I only had 1 upgrade part so far (people don't bother selling low cost upgrades, sadly

), and because it replaced the Fortitude part first, I didn't think it would work.
Strange that it does, seeing as I did the same on another hammer and it replaced in the same way, yet didn't become dual modded.
Well, my guess is they'll probably fix that too though. Besides, the hammer is far less usefull than the axe, because they'r unable to equip a focus item with it.

zerulus · Dec 20, 2005, 10:22 AM // 10:22

so im guessing they are removing all those doulbe modded hp ones that people were buying as well?

Apparently so

I just got heard 46 variations of "zOMG noob u lie!" while warning people not to buy the axe everytime I saw "WTS 40% enchant axe!" Theres gonna be a LOT of pretty pissed off people come the update, but that hey, its no ones fault but your own.
I tried warning people the other day that it will be nerfed, and no one would listen andall i got was hate whispers, so it is with great satisfaction that I say:

"I TOLD YOU SO"

Fade Away · Dec 20, 2005, 10:32 AM // 10:32

Well this sucks.

I didn't find out about this until I had bought like 5 of them.

Now I'm down about 40-50k and I can't sell them because everywhere I got some idiot yells at me to tell me I'm stupid.

Either that or someone asks what SoA means.

GRRRR

[edit] - And it's not 'no one's fault but our own'

I know I for one would rather have gold than not, and when I see a chance to make it, I hop on it.

All because Anet messed up and made a glitched item shouldn't mean we all should have to suffer for it.

I'm kinda upset about losing tons of gold. I don't really care that it wont work anymore, I just dont like suffering just because I didn't check ''omg guildwars guru'' like everyone else does instantly.

*sigh*

Well I know from the req that it's an early quest item...anyone know which quest THAT bugged item is from? And, yes they will need to fix both items.

Zakarr · Dec 20, 2005, 10:34 AM // 10:34

40% last longer hammer isn't so good because you can't use artifacts or any off-hand items. Losing +12 energy and few other mods is pretty bad.

Xunlai Master · Dec 20, 2005, 10:36 AM // 10:36

u can make 40% enchant axe by puting 2x 20% enchanting on..

but how do u make 60hp axe???? i put 30hp n made 55hp axe, then i put another 30hp on 55hp axe n got 30hp axe..

Can't ask for more than this, Appreciate the backup Gaile.

Oustanding decision by Anet. +1

"It's going to get deleted?! I've just spend nearly all my money on them.. I have 36 40% Axes now..", yep.. I just got message like this one, pretty painful.

And Xunlai, don't make it, unless you really feel like spending 200K for an axe you can use less then a day.

*sigh*

everyone that made these axes knows it was a glitch..so making it was exploiting a glitch..if anet wanted to they could ban everyone that did this...of course they arent going to do that, so i wouldnt be complaining too much...you should have seen it coming.

Rufio Lostboy · Dec 20, 2005, 10:48 AM // 10:48

Its not a matter of checking "OMG Guildwarsguru!" all the time. Its a matter of acknowledging that this was definately a bug. And bugs will eventually get fixed.

DarkDD · Dec 20, 2005, 11:00 AM // 11:00

Maybe it's a stupid question, but are you sure that enchantements are increased by +40% instead of +20 % ? Because maybe it's like the runes : you can add 2 sup runes, but your skill is only increased by 3 and not by 6.
