ps. I don't think so, but I dó think the events could also be something else than PvP sometimes.

RE: Nerfbat 

i thought it was usually always 1 pve weekend 1 pvp weekend...now 2 pvp in a row, maybe because of the xmas event but perhaps also because anet really is looking forward to nerfing popular skills like they ALWAYS do.

if they are going to nerf very used skills i do hope they buff crappy skills so that people are not gonna start whining everywhere again..

RE: Nerfbat 

they will probably nerv steady stance or wild/drunken blow(i though that they where called that way) because SS teams are pretty regular 'IWAY' like builds these days. further i think the rest wil be ok




thanks to mimori for this uber cool signature!
the video from my siggy

The whining will start not matter what. If people like a skill or build and it gets changed the users whine.

I was under the impression it was a set calender.
The same weekends seem to happen every year I'm thinking we must be in for a double dye drop weekend pretty soon.

Its a joke. They were talking about how PvP is going to get nerfed by the nerfbat.

RE: Nerfbat 

Except typically the PvPers welcome needed nerfs while PvErs cry about them. Soul Reaping is probably the best example.

RE: Nerfbat 

Thats because most skills are updated to balance pvp, yet it still effects pve, i dont think they have ever made a nerf because people were pwning UW to hard.

if that happens, it will just about completely shut down any chance warrior primary's have of beating glacial griffin quest

who cares about that griffon??? it's just a goddam quest, probably dozens of builds to beat it with -.-

u rly think anet are gonna take the nerf of fearme in consideration (if they were to) just coz of that stupid griffon? NO

i hope they nerf it, actually they should have nerfed fearme same day as gfte.

hate the zergway idiots running around thinking they got skill coz they can press 1 2 3

One quest will not stop them balancing skills. Quests have no relevance to the problems being caused by the majority of skills that get nerfed. If the quest actually becomes impossible because of the nerf of those skills (which i sincerely doubt), then they will just make it easier to kill.

RE: Nerfbat 

Well this is new pre-upadte whining. You haven't nerfed anything yet but just in case "you suck a-net how could you nerf that."

I like nerfs for the most part. It makes the game more challenging becuase now you have to come up with new builds and strategies. Imagine if they nerfed A cou[le key GvG skill or HA skill. I causes a whole shift in the metagame meaning you now have to try something new.

For example what if they decided to nerf all the blockway core skills raising energy cost and decreasing durations, increased recharge on Woh, or made crip shot useless. That would have a huge effect accross both GvG (maybe not high-end as much) and HA.

As annoying as nerfs can be that add alot to the game on both PvE and PvP sides. Having to rethink your farming builds adds a little excitment to the game (or to wiki if you are not to creative). Sure they hurt a bit but in the long run I think they broaden the experience of the game.

RE: Nerfbat 

i dont get why its pvp one week and pve the next, why cant they just do pve and pvp in the same week every week, instead of the pvp and pve players waiting a week, and is it me or does anet need to come up with better weekend events, cuz all ive seen so far are the same event being repeated

necro's have become outclassed. (RM)

necro time is over in high end gvg, not seen a necro except heroway+spike in a looong time... they're just too easy to interupt and can't do much tbh except a few hexes which don't do real dmg because they get removed so fast and some crappy minions which are pretty much useless ;p (GW)


SR nerf that affected me and my style of play was over half a year ago and at the time I didn't post. Unless I can play necro as a necro (not in some dumb spike build) I will complain. Ps I play necro as a necro and yes I am a pve noob. I have complained but Its over now I bottled it up for 4 months then over reacted got it out of my system and changed my build and went back to pve and ab.
