My question was: Miss Gray, why do the devs think 7 heroes are imba while you can steamroll the game Ursan way?





Post constructive pls, thank you!

Yeah I'm a regular customer of that thread btw, but as it involves Ursan too I thought it deserved a new thread. The mods can always merge my post into the other if they want to though.

Added a second link.

So she said Ursan Pugs and all-hero parties are not the same thing. And that maybe someday there'll be a change to one or both systems.

Man, she can rival Obama in the ability to talk without saying anything!

I kinda feel like it'd be an "either/or" situation: the biggest support for seven heroes is because of how useful and efficent UB is. Nerf UB and you might not be looking at 7 heroes anymore...Does anyone see what I mean about this??

Yes ofcourse, nerfing Ursan would be the easiest way for Anet to settle the contradiction imo. I do hope though, they'll allow 7 heroes just for more fun.

Really, I thought she sounded like Clinton, who demonstrates the exact same ability, only while slinging mud at her opponents...

Either way would be fine, imo. Whether they nerf UB or allow the heros, or both.

Why so I can take my mesmer with 2 sf heroes and 2 mms and a barbs necro and 2 monks?

And annihilate anything in my way...

Yes I mean...its not like we can do that already, by having a friend join, add his heros, then leave. *rolls eyes*

she said exactly nothing about it.

perhaps either will change............desparate people will say in a post next week......

she promised we would get them as this PERHAPS spreads with the speed of rumor (only known faster than light speed medium) from site to site

perhaps becomes she said

she said becomes she promised

she promised becomes the devs said

the devs said becomes the devs promised

WHERE IS IT????

I'm not against Ursan, but I think Anet will nerf it instead of allowing 7 heroes. As it's a fast fix.

And btw I can take my buddy and his 3 heroes to make that setup you give as an example. 2 men 6 hero teams are common. That one more hero in a one man/7 hero setup will not make a difference concerning balance.

If I wanne annihilate, I'll go Ursan way with my friends. Get the point?

Sadly, it's because they're selling GW:EN on an imbalanced skill I think. Is that how far we've come? It sure looks like that way but who knows.

i really hope they do SOMETHING. as ursan is way more overpowered than 7 heroes would be they will probably nerf it (at least a biti hope).... though they might do......nothing :P

Ummm, hate to be a thread pooper, but she didn't say anything about either with that answer.

It was a political type answer designed to move past the question and on to other issues / topics of discussion.
