What a HORRIBLE nerf to two great PVE only skills.

I for one am happy to see Seed of Life taken behind the shed and shot. It restores a small bit of my faith in Anet.

I agree. GW should be more like golf, with a higher title giving you a greater handicap, such as -30hp for every norn rank. This would really level out the playing field. GW is meant for the casual player after all. I have several fingers missing and am partially sighted, I don't play very often because I don't really like GW and when I do, run useless builds and aggro as many monsters as I can at one time; why should I be denied as enjoyable an experience as somebody who has played more than once?

Beth won't do anything about this 'cos they don't care. They just want to make money! Sort it out, Beth. Nerf this game to ****.

Kudo's on your keen observation. Banning would be entirely appropriate. In fact, I think the mere contemplation of using 3 fire Ele's should constitute a fair and reasonable basis for banning.

Personally, I think Orison of Heal is a terribly overpowered and unbalanced skill. It should be nerfed, and anyone using it should be perma-banned. Just because Arenanet has not yet recognized the problem and nerfed it, does not mean using it is not an exploit. An exploit is defined as "taking advantage of game mechanics to your benefit in a way that Arenanet did not intend". If you play the game, you are required to know what Arenanet intends. And don't try to use the excuse "Thats the way the game was designed, I was simply playing it". If Arenanet ever determines it is overbalanced........Bannage all around I say. An exploit is an exploit. Period.

As far as fear of snow. Perhaps you could build a roaring bonfire and wear a heavy down expedition jacket while playing those areas.

:P

I agree and will use plenty of them myself... Destroyers still can't burn, though.

lol@ your sarcasm of the poster's thoughts. Three fire ele's being a reason for banning! I love the one where you said "If you play the game, you are required to know what Arenanet intends" --> priceless.

Mind reading much? As for three fire eles being an exploit, let's explore some of that logic. In order for it to be an exploit, it requires that ArenaNet didn't intend (or even think) someone would use three, hadn't thought you would EVER, possibly use three fire eles - yeah, they NEVER thought of it. Nah, couldn't have. Its not something any reasonable gamer would EVER think about, so of course it was not intended or thought of so it must obviously be an exploit.

Overbalanced, probably. Bannage? Sarcastic!

Wee, I'm having fun in GWEN. Just used some of the Charr's own tools against them, and watched 'em burn!

trobinson97 · Aug 31, 2007, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Oh yeah, if using 3 Fire eles is using an exploit, try the master quest "Fire and Pain". Anet leading by example.

God bless the recent posters. Now you guys are getting into the spirit of things!

Nerfing GWEN does seem a wee premature given it only went live today. However, there are older issues we can use nerfed.

For example, the death penalty. Why do we have to have it? If you are dumb enough to die, you really need some ANet help. Instead of giving the recently dead a penalty for their poor play, treat them like golfers and award them bonus hit points and energy in a form of a GW Handicap for the clueless player!

Make reporting a DH of +60% a shameful thing. In the same vein, Anet can penalize us for killing to efficiency. Kill a boss and take a -5% EP! Capture an Elite and its -10% for being too efficient.

Since GWEN is for experienced players, the effects should double when in it's regions.

My motto is, if the game is playable and fun, the designers have done something wrong and nerfing is in order!

Fun seams to take a back seat with Anet....

They believe every player in the world wants an insane challange, and while a few do, the majority of us just play to have fun.

Video games are supposed to be a means for me to relieve stress, not frustrate me to the point of ripping my keyboard up and hurling it at my monitor.......

If you find a skill is overpowered and makes the game to easy, don't use the skill!

Let the rest of us, that just want some mindless adventure, go out and slaughter the Charr with our over powered skills.

After all the experts got there Domain of Anguish and Hard Mode, how about something for the casual fun seeking vidiots!
