Upcoming January 2008 Balance Update Questions...

These are just general questions that I have been thinking about and if anyone has any inputs on this or knows anything about these questions please post!

1. What other changes will there be besides just changing how alot of skills work (if there are any)?

2. Because Gaile Announced it a month before, do you think it will be pretty big balance changes?

3. Are there any ideas about what they think will be changed?

Thank You for input!

At the very least nerf Ursan so that we see more variety in PvE instead of W/Mo and Mo/any.

So, add eles back? Yeah, that's variety.

I hope they announce when the patch will go live. I'm death-levelling during the nights and the game updates roll out at around midnight GMT. Once a new patch is out, it's not possible for me to reconnect which means that I spent 40 minutes luring 15 Charr for nothing.

That title just needs deleting or sorting out. Its a complete waste of time, wait arent all titles? 'Backs Out'

Yeah, this the risk we death-levellers face:



Regardless, I'm looking forward for balance updates.

Wow, this title was very misleading. Damn you.

1. Most likely just skill balance and some dumb ass interface change or addition.

2. Can't bet on Anet, size does not matter, quality does however.

3. Um skills mostly relating to how they are used in PvP formats...

10 bucks on nerf Zergway and Heroway.

50 on nerfing Paragon. I know they've been beaten into a bloody pulp with the nerf stick already but i think i can just about make out a tooth.

A-net dusts off the Mesmer again……..They need a buff (this is a PVE request)

Fast casting gets a return of energy for any disrupted skill

Dreaming again


Heroes spread out if you are not moving!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh please, for the love of God, YESS!!!!

Hell no. It turns FC into SR for interrupts. FC is fine.

"There's Nothing to Fear!" still has some life left on it. Nerf it!

They could make Necros more attractive in PvP. Not likely to happen.

GW is old and they could still do a lot. But they could also just stop and let it be instead of experimenting again.

Either make massive and major changes or just let it be. Always reacting on the current GvG meta or nerfing HA builds does not really make the game better.


I wonder what they will do in regards of PvE consumables and PvE skills that make the game very easy.

I keep hoping for a interface change that makes subtargetting better. Truly the biggest hurdle for newer players to step into the pvp arena is the piss poor targeting system that GW has. All of the better players have learned to deal with it, by subtargetting, but outside of that, newplayers dont have a clue and are always running around lost in a 8v8 arena because they cant find thier target in time.

Perhaps make it to where a subtarget
a) doesnt overcall the main target.
b) Maybe create a new window for subtargets, two at most (I hardly find any mes or ranger that can watch more than two targets, three sometimes)
Assigning a target by ctrl +1 and ctrl +2
c) doesnt show up on the other players screen so does not interfere


but what do I know, Ive just been playing this game for 31 months

elementalist need a serious buff for pvp because i use one for pvp and its impossible to win unless there are two good healers in the group.
i guess eles are only good with pve =(

I indeed need a "scatter" command for dealing with channeling bosses.

If you don't want your death leveling to end

Press the restart button on your computer
GW will count this as a disconnection and when you launch GW again you will DL the patch and be reconnected.
Atleast last time I checked this is how it works.
