If anything, it's Anet moving Hard Mode/GW:EN stuff over to the real servers. I'm leaning towards Hard Mode...

I noticed that, too. Looks like we're going to get a new condition.

Guys, stop worrying about game balance. You've got to be a blockhead to think Anet will introduce these skills with no counter actions. If they add a 3000% movement buff, it's for a reason. Chill and wait.

Yes, except, if its IS hard mode stuff, i know tons of people who are gonna be really disappointed because they wanted actually fun to fight against oponents who are strong becasue of ai and smart skillsets, not because of Enraged alike stuff.

And reason for 3000% speed buff is obvious - its basically giving monsters teleport-like ability that they can use on will - to prevent carefull pulling (its hardly pull when your puller is immediatelly swarmed by monsters) or tanking (there is no longer point in sparing enemies around tank to make it work) or to prevent trap teams (monsters will literally fly thought traps and slaughter helpless trappers before they nocite they are recieving damage.)

amish lifeguard · Apr 10, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Or maybe it's just a skill for one boss, like an Urgoz/Kanaxai type thing?

im up for it!

Buttermilk · Apr 10, 2007, 02:50 PM // 14:50

The image has NOT been photoshopped!
I saw the same skills on the test server during the ATS testing. You can't use them in PvP though :P

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the entire thread.

Raxxman · Apr 10, 2007, 02:50 PM // 14:50

yeah...

Looks like I'll be taking wild blow for stuff with infernal rage...

EDIT

I meant to add I feel they're GWEN related, as theirs a reference to dungeons

Longasc · Apr 10, 2007, 02:55 PM // 14:55

Well, no doubt that the skills still need balancing. There are also some grammar and spelling mistakes in the skill description, and the stances have no duration and stuff like that.

But we can easily see that they are indeed SUPER powerful. 6 Conditions at once, 100 fire damage and poison + disease.
They will probably become Elite Skills or you can have only one on the bar at a time. Maybe each skill is restricted to a certain class, much like the Celestial skills.

Still, when they go to introduce such super powerful skills, one can ask why. Are the mobs all enraged DoA style mobs on crack? Or are these player skills? What do we get to combat the mobs?

I do not think that power creep - make monsters tougher, stronger, and also the player - makes for a hard mode, rather for a retard mode.

I hope these skills are only used in some missions on special places and are not permanently on our bar.

But I would hate them as bandaids for bad game design. We already have tons of skills, why not make us use them all.

There could be mobs with +200 armor vs physical damage, make players think and find out that they take elemental damage, and have -100 to lightning damage.

Or mobs that simply do not burn - a nice D'oh for SF Elementalists. Areas that call for ice damage and snares.

Maybe areas where we must split the party, make use of hero and pet controls and stuff like that.

It is too early to cry "CRAP!!!", but I hope we get stronger mobs that require some tricks and strategy - this would also greatly increase the usefulness of Mesmers in PvE.

Instead of just more and stronger mobs that we then simply decimate with our new uber-pve-skills.

Did anyone notice the "9,9" recharge on Flame Call?

dead man ivan · Apr 10, 2007, 03:11 PM // 15:11

These skills are nuts I tell you Nuts.
Putrid Flames.!!

Once again, the PvE side of the game gets hosed, doused with paint, stuffed into a garbage can, and rolled down Mount Everest. I don't even think a team of 36 players could take down a single monster with those skills. What are you trying to do, ANET, kill your entire PvE fanbase? This is not making the game "more challenging" or "more interesting. This will make the game insanely hard/frustrating/impossible.
