Curse

Ok, well i have seen many threads about things anet has done to ruin guildwars for that person, so lets just put it all in one big thread.

Ill start off with what anet did to me with the most recent update involving sheilds. Yesterday i spent 350ecto+ on a shadow sheild collection, all perfect, worth alot, my babies. I wake up today to see that they are ruined, -2 damage against physical only now, im not happy, considering leaving guildwars as i spent all my gold on those, and now i cant resell em for spare cash if i plan to buy something.

SO, my question is, what has anet done that you didnt liek, and it ruined something for u?

Investments are risky, it's common knowledge. This is one reason why I only use collector and crafter items, if they get nerfed, I'm only out about 5k and a handful of materials.

My advice is learn how to adapt instead of sobbing since you were not the only one effected by this update and most likely not the only one to loss gold in the process :\

"what did Anet do to me?"

They gave me a fun, affordable game that I don't have to pay a monthly on. A game that after over a year of playing I still enjoy the same as the first day I picked it up, that's what Anet did to me.

Umm, i dont wanna feel sympathy or ne thing, just making a fun topic, i can live with this, sure im mad, but ive had worse things happen, i still love my collection, i just want to hear what has happened to other people.

Vahn Roi · Jul 14, 2006, 05:20 PM // 17:20

ah...It was more of a pre-emptive attack on the others who will while and bitch.

Anyway if all sheilds got nerfed to buff only physical damage, I don't see how yours would lose any value at all as sheilds as a whole were lowered, so how did yours lose value?

lyra_song · Jul 14, 2006, 05:22 PM // 17:22

What did Anet ever do to me....they got me hooked on this game -.o

Um lets see.

They nerfed Prophets Path...but then again i found other places to farm.

They did the whole armor update thingy to my warrior and i have to buy some new armor...but now an elementalist looks interesting (since i never played as an ele...)

They nerfed runes, made them easier drops..now i cant make money as much...but i can buy runes cheaper :3

They changed lots of skills....but it lets me try out new builds.

They made the droks run harder...but all i need is to get to LA then kaineng to get max armor anyway.

They made the shell collector in the desert only collect 2 shells instead of 5, making Wurm farming mostly useless....but this recent shield glitch means some people are gonna need some >.> heh heh.

Resell value. Something he spent many ecto on, will return him less ecto now.

Anet really hasn't nerfed anything I like, so they'd done nothing to me

Yichi · Jul 14, 2006, 05:26 PM // 17:26

ANET decided to take me from my happy, activity filled life and basicalyl left me an outcast sitting in front of my computer playing guildwars.

anyway anet has done many many things right with guildwars and provided a very quality game for a reasonable price with no monthly fe that has given me hours of fun with fellow friends on guildwars that share the same thoughts.

The onyl downfall that i currently see is that we needed other things fixed that needed to be adjusted or revamped completely and werent even addressed in a few updates, yet were supposed to already be fixed... oh well its a good thing i have patience

Take for example a max -2 in stance, -2 while enchanted shield. If you got such a shield because it helped you negate 4 damage from warriors, its still not a bad shield. If you got it because it helped you negate 4 damage from elementalists, you just got royally screwed over. And ultimately, most of the groups you'll come up against have both. Someone who would now spend 100k on such an item may only pay 10k since its no longer as effective as an all purpose item. Its become a specialized item, with mods only good against other warriors, and a different mod, say reduces blindness, might help more to deal with casters. It isn't a matter of only his shield becomming less valuable, its a matter of many of the most usefull shields becomming less valuable.

To the OP: You took a gamble, you lost. Don't cry about it.

ANet do to me? Stole 100s of hours of my life with their game. Damn them :P

Same. Got the game because of how it was marketed as being able to put down and comeback a couple months later without loosing out on anything. 13 months and 1200 hour later, I still havn't been able to leave for more than a week. I don't even like MMOs.

P.S. I love the Ele buffs in this update. And it is about time the abosrbtion armor was stripped of it's global ability.

They made me go through hours and hours of pointless rants, flames etc . . .

Silent Kitty · Jul 14, 2006, 05:55 PM // 17:55

I learned my lesson. Online games are still terrible to play for me, and pugs suck big time.
My dad brings me "Shadow Wars" soon. Maybe it can beat Guild Wars

Fluffyx · Jul 14, 2006, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Killed my armor definately, though the other choices out there are still not much better. Knights is still useless because the -3dmgphysical is not that big a deal.
Nerfed sup absorbtion many times, bought it for 100k a few months later its under 5k.
Nerfed my HoD Helm made it nearly useless
Nerfed my Aoe.
Nerfed some of my greens but they did fix that.
Nerfed my shadow shroud
Added my eviscerate adrenaline +1 a few months back

Anets made a lot of stupid mistakes. This damage problem should not have been changed after the game system has remained this way for a year.
And another thing its not a gamble to buy something for which has been around in game unchanged for a year. The way shields affected damage. I believe the armor change is somewhat understandable. Though the shield change is pretty much uncalled for.

First of all the OP wasn’t crying, and if i lost what he did i know I would be! The topic of this post is plain and simple, meant to be a discussion of how bad anet screwed you over, not to flame someone who lost a lot and wants to vent a little. i lost probably 300k+myself worth of item nerfs and i feel anet had more than enough time to do this in the past.
And yes i think the storage update was a mask for the retarded changed made to the game. That’s how they work over there, they NEVER tell you about the nerfs. Basically they kick you from behind and act like nothing happened when you turn around.
Well anyway thanks for making the game even worse and please flame me for 'crying' it would save some of you from having to compile actual thoughts and make a point relevant to the post. i hope the roll this back but it will never happen anet cant be wrong they do what they think is best with no regard to the community whatsoever. gj anet!!!

The nerf bat passes again. Don't cry too loud, they'll want to hit harder.

Zakarr · Jul 14, 2006, 06:04 PM // 18:04

1 Rockmolder 20/20 nerfed
1 Kurzick 15k warrior knight's boots nerfed
1 Virtuoso 15k mesmer gloves nerfed
1 Crimson Carapace shield 45/-2 in a stance + silver + black nerfed

That seems to be all. I lost maybe total 100k money today because have to buy new armor parts and maybe a shield too.

Eviance · Jul 14, 2006, 06:05 PM // 18:05

I'm a bit upset about the rockmolder nerf (not overly since I rarely use my mesmer).... I just think that after it had been THAT long they would have just let it be... Now I wish I had sold mine ;_;

Other than that, ABs.... I really liked the FPE and I still think the setup of the FPE was better, but things are a bit smoother now thankfully. I played my first AB battles last night after several months of strike.... It was ok till the Kurzicks got stupid lol. We rule during the day but after 12am it all goes to hell >_<

I really do feel for those people that have to buy their 15k armors again... I just think thats sad that you can no longer mix and match with the warrior armors ;_;

Nothing that makes me want to quit playing tho... Just.. Saddened lol.

Theus · Jul 14, 2006, 06:12 PM // 18:12

The idiocy behind the changes of all damage reduction to physical damage only.

The knights boots fix I don't care about because it was an actual BUG.

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.

Uhmm... why? For concept sake? Cause people have been playing with this as part of game for a great long time and things were going just good. We need this nerf for what reason?

The multi comboed armors added some nice variety rather then the push were going to have now.

Whatever though, there's always ass-kisser and grumblers. I'd rather grumble some though. I'm not for change for change and I'd rather see game companies follow game evolution in conjunction with players instead of jamming one concept or another over on gamers.
